AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
317 PM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 317 PM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

STALLED SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA...FROM SW TO NE THIS
AFTERNOON. SOUTHERLY WINDS WITH DEW PTS AROUND 60 AND TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 80S TO UPPER 90S. NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE
80S WITH LIGHT EAST TO NORTHERLY WINDS. EXCEPTION IS ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTHWEST NEB...BEHIND AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER S DAKOTA
CONVECTION WHERE TEMPS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE 70S. UPPER LEVEL LOW
CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS THE PACIFIC NW WITH A RIDGE OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. FLOW ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS IS GENERALLY SOUTHWEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 317 PM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

TONIGHT WILL BE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT. 700 MB TROUGH PUSHING
ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE HAS ALREADY SPARKED A COUPLE OF CELLS AND
EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON.
ACTIVITY SHOULD LIFT TO THE EAST/NORTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SANDHILLS AND ADJACENT AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. A SECOND AREA OF
CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET...SIMILAR TO
LAST NIGHT. MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH NW KS/SW NEB TO BE THE
AREA OF FOCUS. GENERALLY THINK THERE WILL BE 2 AREAS OF
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE CWA THIS EVENING. THE SOUTHERN
AREA...IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LL JET IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH UNSURE IF THE NORTHERN AREA WILL HAVE THE
ELEVATED SUPPORT TO CONTINUE AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR. STORMS HAVE
PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND DECENT SHEAR SO STORMS ARE
CAPABLE OF GOING SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT.

BY MORNING WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE TO SEE ACTIVITY DYING DOWN AND
WOULD EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...HOWEVER LIKE
THIS MORNING...SMOKE FROM THE COLORADO FIRES SHOULD BE PUSHING
ACROSS THE AREA. THIS COULD CREATE ANOTHER YELLOWISH/REDDISH
SUNRISE. ALSO CANNOT RULE OUT STORMS NEAR THE S DAKOTA BORDER.

TOMORROW AFTERNOON THE BOUNDARY SHOULD BE IN A SIMILAR POSITION AND
SET UP IS SIMILAR TO TODAY. THUS A REPEAT OF ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED
TOMORROW. ONE CAVEAT WOULD BE THE CONVECTION TONIGHT CAUSING THE
BOUNDARY TO SIGNIFICANTLY MOVE. I DUE EXPECT THE BOUNDARY TO SAGE
SOUTH A LITTLE BUT RETURN NORTH AS A WARM FRONT TOMORROW.

LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 317 PM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT WILL AGAIN BE THE FOCUS FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF
TSTMS SATURDAY EVENING/OVERNIGHT ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA. A 40 TO 50 KT SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET NOSING INTO THE
BOUNDARY SATURDAY EVENING WILL DEVELOP COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
OF TSTMS TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN
NEBRASKA. DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 50 KNOTS LOOKS FAVORABLE FOR AT
LEAST SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL BE SUPERCELLS
WITH POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY LARGE HAIL DUE TO STEEP MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES. ANY SURFACE BASED STORM WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
ALSO PRODUCE A TORNADO INVOF THE FRONT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA. LOW LEVEL JET SHOULD AID IN EVENTUAL MCS DEVELOPMENT BY
LATE EVENING. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO 30-50 PERCENT MOST
AREAS..EXCEPT FAR SOUTHWEST NEAR IMPERIAL WHERE 20 POPS RETAINED.

SUNDAY COULD BE ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY...BUT PRIOR PASSAGE OF NORTHERN
STREAM TROUGH AND LESSER DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 35 TO 40 KTS WILL
MEAN THAN SURFACE FRONT AND UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BE MAIN
FOCUS. MOST LIKELY SCENARIO WOULD BE FOR STORMS TO FORM NEAR AND
NORTH OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST SOUTHEAST OF FORECAST AREA AND LIFT
NORTHEAST IN SOUTHEASTERN ZONES AS LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS WHILE
ISOLATED STORMS IN PANHANDLE MOVE INTO WESTERN SANDHILLS.
THEREFORE 20 POPS MAINLY WEST OF HWY 83 AND LOW CHANCE POPS
SOUTHEAST OF A NORTH PLATTE THROUGH ONEILL LINE.

FOR MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT...LOW CHANCE POPS KEPT FOR NCTRL ZONES.
THE 12Z ECMWF IN CLOSE AGREEMENT WITH PREVIOUS RUN. THE HEAT WILL
RETURN AS WELL...ESPECIALLY SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA WHERE MID/UPPER 90S
RETURN. HEAT FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WILL BE TRANSPORTED INTO
THE REGION AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW DIGS INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST.

FOR TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...EXPANSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
BUILD WESTWARD TO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY WEDNESDAY. WESTERN
NEBRASKA WILL REMAIN ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THIS RIDGE...WITH
MOST IF NOT ALL CONVECTION INHIBITED ACROSS THE REGION INCLUDING
THE HIGH PLAINS/FRONT RANGE. UPPER 80S TO MID 90S EXPECTED THROUGH
THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1258 PM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

GENERALLY QUITE THIS AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH SOME HIGH PLUME OF
SMOKE...FROM FIRES IN COLORADO...CONTINUE TO DRIFT ACROSS MUCH OF
THE STATE. EXPECT SOME ISOLD/SCT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER
WESTERN NEBRASKA AND PUSH EAST/NORTHEAST THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT.
DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF COVERAGE AND IMPACT TO THE TERMINAL...HAVE
INCLUDED A VCNTY TS FOR NOW AT THE MOST LIKELY TIME IF ANY DO
PUSH ACROSS THE AREA. WATCH FOR UPDATES AS TIMING AND LOCATIONS
BECOME BETTER DEFINED. TOMORROW MORNING ACTIVITY WILL
DIMINISH...HOWEVER THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE GETTING RELOADED FOR
ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY.
