AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
634 PM CDT MON JUN 3 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 258 PM CDT MON JUN 3 2013

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED CUMULUS FORMING IN A LINE (OR TWO)
IN NORTHEAST COLORADO MOVING INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. SATELLITE DERIVED PRODUCT LIFTED INDICES SHOWED MODERATE
INSTABILITY IN SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...EASTERN COLORADO AND SOUTHWEST
KANSAS. AN ANALYSIS OF THE 19Z MSL DATA SHOWED A SHARP DEWPOINT
GRADIENT ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS AND EASTERN COLORADO IN WHICH
DEWPOINTS GO FROM 50S IN WESTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN NEBRASKA TO 20S
IN EASTERN WYOMING AND EASTERN COLORADO. LOW PRESSURE WAS CENTERED
IN NORTHEAST COLORADO NEAR DENVER AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO NORTHWEST
OF LAMAR. THERE WAS A WEAK WARM FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA
INTO NORTHWEST NEBRASKA AND ANOTHER BOUNDARY ACROSS WESTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA ACROSS NORTHWEST NEBRASKA TO EASTERN WYOMING. THE LATTER
BOUNDARY HAD SOME...APPARENTLY HIGH BASED...CUMULIFORM CLOUDS ALONG
IT. IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...A STRONG BAROCLINIC REGION WAS
INDICATED ACROSS THE WESTERN DAKOTAS...NORTHWEST NEBRASKA AND
EASTERN WYOMING EXTENDING FROM A MATURING CYCLONE OVER CENTRAL
MONTANA WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 258 PM CDT MON JUN 3 2013

CONVECTION CHANCES TO HEADLINE THE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION.  NEAR TERM
MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS ALONG
AND NEAR THE DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW/INVERTED TROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.  THAT BEING SAID...A SUBSTANTIAL CAP
REMAINS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...THUS STORMS MAY NOT BEGIN TO REALLY
GET GOING UNTIL AFTER STRONGER LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT
/ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHERN PLAINS UPPER LOW/ ARRIVES.  THERE IS
AN AREA OF AGITATED CU DEVELOPING ACROSS EAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
COLORADO...BUT THUS FAR HAVE STRUGGLED TO FULLY DEVELOP AS TD/T
SPREADS IN SOME CASES ARE GREATER THAN 50F.  CURRENT THINKING IS AS
THE CHALLENGED DEVELOPMENT WORKS EAST INTO A MORE FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT...STORMS COULD DEVELOP.  MESOANALYSIS FROM WESTERN
NEBRASKA DOES SUPPORT A MENTION OF SEVERE AS 30-40KTS OF 0-6KM
EFFECTIVE SHEAR RESIDES AND SBCAPE EXCEEDS 1.0KJ/KG.  WITH THE
PROSPECTS OF INCREASINGLY STEEP LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES LATE
THIS AFTERNOON...SEVERE HAIL WOULD BE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH GUSTY
DOWNBURST WINDS.  THEREAFTER...CONVECTION CHANCES BECOME MORE
UNCERTAIN...BUT MOST NEAR TERM SOLUTIONS AGREE THAT A COMPLEX WILL
CONGEAL AND SPREAD EAST ALONG AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT ENCOMPASSING
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT.  PREVIOUS FORECASTS HAVE THIS
HANDLED WELL...THUS LITTLE CHANGE TO THE FORECAST FOR NOW.
OTHERWISE CAA BEHIND THE FRONT WILL LIMIT HIGHS SOME ON
TUESDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES SOME 10 DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY.
PRECIPITATION MAY LINGER A BIT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA EARLY
ON TUESDAY...WHICH MAY SLIGHTLY LIMIT TEMPERATURES FURTHER.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 258 PM CDT MON JUN 3 2013

A RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. WILL BRING FAST NORTHWEST
FLOW TO THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS RESULTING IN THE
CONTINUATION OF A FAIRLY ACTIVE PATTERN THROUGH THIS WEEKEND AND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AS THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS KANSAS...RETURN FLOW LIFTS UP ACROSS
WESTERN NEBRASKA IN THE 300-305K ISENTROPIC LAYER. THE AIR BEING
FORCED IS EXPECTED TO BE NEARLY SATURATED AND FOLDING IN THE THETA-E
FIELDS WOULD INDICATE ELEVATED INSTABILITY. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY
HIGH THAT MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL THROUGH WESTERN NEBRASKA WILL HAVE
RAINFALL TUESDAY NIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH LATE MORNING. WITH
ELEVATED INSTABILITY (THETA-E FOLDING AND ELEVATED LIFTED INDICES
-2C TO -4C)...THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED. THE FRONT THEN SAGS
FARTHER SOUTH INTO EAST-CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTHWEST KANSAS AFTER
18Z...THUS SHIFTING PRECIPITATION CHANCES SOUTHWARD AND EASTWARD
WITH IT.

WITH THE FRONT WELL INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY...WEATHER SHOULD BE FAIRLY QUIET. RETURN FLOW ON THE HIGH
PLAINS WILL BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES TO WESTERN NEBRASKA.

A FRONT FORMING ON THE HIGH PLAINS OF WYOMING AND COLORADO THURSDAY
NIGHT WILL BEGIN TO CROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FOR NEXT WEEKEND. THE
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEBRASKA
SATURDAY AND THEN BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY ACROSS KANSAS SUNDAY
EVENING. THAT SCENARIO WOULD CONTINUE CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 631 PM CDT MON JUN 3 2013

THE RUC SUGGESTS A BELT OF MVFR CIGS DEVELOPING AFTER 06Z TONIGHT
AND DISSIPATING AROUND 18Z TUESDAY. THE STRATUS WOULD DEVELOP IN
THE NORTH AND SPREAD SOUTH AND EAST.

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE
WEST AND MOVE EAST OVERNIGHT. VFR IS EXPECTED ALL AREAS AFTER 18Z
TUESDAY.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
