AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
1242 AM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 335 PM CDT THU JUN 20 2013

NOT MUCH CHANGING WITH THE OVERALL UPPER LEVEL PATTERN TODAY FROM
YESTERDAY. LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...WITH WEAK RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND A
SUBTLE TROUGH OVER SE CANADA INTO NEW ENGLAND. AT THE SURFACE A
COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO NORTHWESTERN NEBRASKA. A DRY
LINE IS ANALYZED ACROSS THE PANHANDLE WITH DEW PTS HAVING DROPPED
FROM AROUND 60 INTO THE 30S. PESKY STRATUS CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH
OF CENTRAL/N CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM CDT THU JUN 20 2013

DIFFICULT FORECAST TODAY AND TOMORROW...ESPECIALLY TO LOCATION AND
TIMING OF CONVECTION. VERY GOOD INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA...WITH
MUCH OF THE CWA SEEING CAPE VALUES 3K TO 5K J/KG...HOWEVER A STRONG
CAP IS ALSO IN PLACE. MODELS SHOWING LITTLE AGREEMENT WITH
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WITH FORECAST A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST.
THE FIRST POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT COULD BE ALONG THE COLD FRONT/DRY
LINE ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA...SUPPORT FROM EARLIER RUNS OF THE
HRRR. A SECOND LOCATION WOULD BE ACROSS FAR SW NEB...CLOSER TO A
DEVELOPING SFC LOW IN NW KS...DUE TO TEMPS INTO THE 90S...SUPPORT
FROM THE NAM...RAP AND LATEST HRRR. THEN THERE IS A LOW LEVEL JET
WHICH IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND WILL BE ABLE TO
SUSTAIN OR ENHANCE OR INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SW INTO
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. BY MORNING THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL PUSH
EAST AND DIMINISH...HOWEVER RESIDUAL LL MOISTURE SHOULD BE ENOUGH
FOR STRATUS TO REDEVELOP...WHICH HAS BETTER MODEL AGREEMENT.

TOMORROW THE WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS
THE AREA WITH THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO FIRE ALONG/NORTH OF THE
FRONT. THIS SHOULD IMPACT AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE
80...ALTHOUGH THIS PLACEMENT MAY NEED TO BE READJUSTED IF A STRONG
MCS DEVELOPS OVERNIGHT WITH A DECENT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY OR STRATUS
LINGERS WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON. CURRENT THOUGHT IS CLOUDS SHOULD
LIFT BY EARLY AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS ABLE TO WARM INTO THE UPPER 80S
TO UPPER 90S...WARMEST ACROSS SW NEB. INITIATION IS EXPECTED AS A
MID LEVEL...700 MB...TROUGH PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM CDT THU JUN 20 2013

FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT REMAINS LOCATED FROM NORTH
CENTRAL INTO THE PANHANDLE OF NEBRASKA. ERLY UPSLOPE FLOW TO THE
NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL ALLOW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO POOL TO THE
NORTH OF THE FRONT...AND THE COMBINATION OF THE SYNOPTIC FLOW AND
DRY AIR TO THE WEST WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE DAILY NOCTURNAL LLJ
ACROSS THE PLAINS WHICH WILL SUSTAIN ANY TSRA DEVELOPMENT THAT
OCCURS NEAR SFC BOUNDARIES BY LATE AFTERNOON. TWO MAIN AREAS OF
CONCERN WOULD BOTH BE NEAR GREATEST DEW POINT GRADIENT...ONE IN
UPSLOPE REGION OF NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND A SECOND IN FAR SW NEB.
UPPER PV ANOMALY SPLIT OFF FROM MAIN UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE
WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE WHICH WILL SERVE TO ENHANCE CONVERGENCE
ALONG THE BOUNDARIES. HOWEVER...DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS WEAK IN SW NEB
AND FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW INVERTED-V TYPE SOUNDING SO WOULD EXPECT ANY
DEVELOPMENT TO NOT ORGANIZE AS WELL. HOWEVER IN THE AREA OF THE NEB
PANHANDLE ANY DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE IN A HIGHLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT
TO GROW UPSCALE...THOUGH SHOULD BECOME ELEVATED DURING THE EVENING
HOURS. SHORT RANGE MODELS SEEM TO AGREE ON THIS GENERAL IDEA HOWEVER
HAVE DIFFERENT EVOLUTIONS OF ULTIMATE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. HAVE
SIDED WITH SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT THE NAM/GFS SUGGEST THINKING
THAT HIRES ARW IS UNDERDONE IN THE PANHANDLE AND NMM HAS TOO MUCH
DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FCST AREA. THEREFORE BEST
PRECIPITATION CHCS CARRIED ACROSS SANDHILLS AND NORTHERN NEB FRIDAY
NIGHT. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY ALOFT AND BETTER SHEAR ACROSS
THE NORTH DO EXPECT A DESCENT SEVERE THREAT ACROSS THIS AREA.

THIS SCENARIO BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED FOR SATURDAY AS WELL...AS A
SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE MAIN UPPER LOW PROGRESSING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. MODELS SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL
FOR EARLY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WHICH MAY ALTER LATE AFTERNOON
SCENARIO BUT THIS WILL HAVE TO BE REFINED IN LATER FCSTS. STILL
BELIEVE THAT SATURDAY APPEARS TO BE BEST CHC FOR WIDESPREAD TSRA
DEVELOPMENT. AS FOR SVR POTENTIAL...BETTER SHEAR APPEARS TO BE IN
PLACE ACROSS THE FCST AREA AND WOULD EXPECT SVR THREAT
AGAIN...THOUGH MAY BE DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER REMAINING FROM FRIDAY
NIGHT CONVECTION WHICH IS ALWAYS TOUGH TO DEFINE THIS TIME OF YEAR.
WITH THE BOUNDARY SINKING SOUTH SOMEWHAT AND MOISTURE POOLING AHEAD
AND NORTH OF FRONT WOULD EXPECT POTENTIAL FOR ONE OR TWO MESOSCALE
COMPLEXES TO MOVE EAST OVERNIGHT.

BY SUNDAY FRONTAL POSITION IS EXPECTED TO BE FROM EASTERN NEB
SOUTHWESTWARD INTO NORTHEAST CO. THIS POSITION WILL BE DEPENDENT ON
CONVECTIVE INFLUENCE FROM THE PREVIOUS NIGHT...SO PRECIP CHANCES
WILL BE LOWER BUT MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED UPWARD IN LATER FCSTS.
MONDAY THE UPPER LOW FINALLY MOVES INTO SOUTHERN CANADA ALLOWING
HEIGHTS TO RISE IN THE PLAINS AHEAD OF NEXT UPPER LOW DEVELOPMENT IN
THE PAC NW. THIS SHOULD LIMIT PRECIP CHCS MONDAY TO ISOLD AND MAINLY
LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING AS A QUICK MOVING PV ANOMALY EJECTS
NEWD IN QUICK SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO RISE FOR MID
WEEK AND INTO THE LATTER PORTION OF THE FCST. WITH SUFFICIENT MID
LEVEL WARMING WOULD EXPECT TSRA CHCS TO BE LOW AND A DRY FCST SEEMS
THE WAY TO GO AT THIS POINT.
