Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 6:03 PM MDT, 3 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
703 PM CDT SUN JUL 7 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT SUN JUL 7 2013

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE HAS CENTERED ITSELF TODAY OVER THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES AND SOUTHERN PLAINS...IN BETWEEN A TROUGH ALONG THE WEST
COAST AND A CLOSED LOW OVER THE OHIO RVR VALLEY. SEVERAL WAVES
ARE MOVING ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE...ACROSS THE
NORTHERN AND HIGH PLAINS. ONE IS EXITING THE CWA...AND WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MORNING SWATH OF LIGHT SHOWERS. A SECOND WAVE
IS CROSSING THE ROCKIES. THERE IS BETTER SFC MOISTURE COMPARED TO
PREVIOUS FEW DAYS...AS DEW PTS HAVE HELD IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S
FOR THE AFTERNOON...EVEN WITH TEMPS STILL WARMING INTO THE UPPER
80S TO MID 90S. THE MORNING SHOWERS DID PRODUCE SEVERAL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT SUN JUL 7 2013

COMPLEX FORECAST THIS EVENING AS SEVERAL REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
EXIST ALONG WITH A STALLED OUT SFC BOUNDARY. IN ADDITION MOISTURE
HAS INCREASED WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS NEAR 1.50 INCHES /JUST A
LITTLE BELOW 2SD FOR JULY/ AND DEW PTS ARE IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S.
THERE IS ALSO A SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE POPPED UP...HOWEVER
MARGINAL SHEAR AND LIMITED CAPE HAS RESULTED IN LITTLE
SUSTAINABILITY. AS THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE ARRIVES DO EXPECT THE STORMS
TO BECOME A LITTLE MORE ORGANIZED...MAY EVEN SEE SOME MARGINALLY
SEVERE WEATHER.

OVERNIGHT THE LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS AND REMAINS TO THE SOUTH AND
EAST...SO LITTLE ASSISTANCE FROM THE JET EXPECTED...HOWEVER THE
SHORT WAVE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP AT LEAST SOME ISOLD TO SCT
SHOWERS/TSTMS GOING. BY MORNING EXPECT ANY ACTIVITY TO BE
DIMINISHING AS WAVE PUSHES EAST AND THE ATMOSPHERE RESETS FOR THE
NEXT SHORT WAVE. MODELS CONTINUE TO KEEP MOISTURE IN THE AREA...AND
THE STALLED BOUNDARY REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA. SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY...OVER SW NEB...HIGHS SHOULD EASILY RETURN INTO THE
90S...NEAR 90 TO THE NORTH. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR ANOTHER ROUND
OF ISOLD TO SCT STORMS. INITIATION LOOKS TO BE OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON THEN PUSHES EAST WITH NEARLY ZONAL
FLOW ON THE NORTHERN RIM OF THE RIDGE.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT SUN JUL 7 2013

MONDAY NIGHT...AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH
THE REGION. NEBRASKA WILL BE ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE
WAVE...WITH THE SURFACE LOW MOVING EAST ACROSS SD OVERNIGHT.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA BY THE EVENING
HOURS...WITH THE BEST CHANCE IN THE NORTH CLOSER TO THE BEST UPPER
SUPPORT. EXPECT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY /A MCS POSSIBLY/ TO DRIFT
EAST WITH THE MID/UPPER LEVEL FEATURE. DEEP SHEAR OF 30-40 KTS AND
CAPES OF 2000-3000 J/KG WILL SUPPORT SOME SEVERE STORMS MONDAY
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
SYSTEM WILL LIKELY PUSH INTO THE NORTH EARLY TUESDAY.

ANOTHER UPPER WAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE DAKOTAS ON
TUESDAY...WITH NEBRASKA ON ITS SOUTHERN EDGE. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT AGAIN...BUT LESS COVERAGE
IS EXPECTED COMPARED TO MONDAY. THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE IN THE EAST
WHERE CAPES OF 2500-3500 J/KG ARE EXPECTED WITH FAVORABLE DEEP
SHEAR...ENOUGH FOR A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK AGAIN. THE BEST
INSTABILITY LOOKS TO BE IN THE ONEILL AREA LATE TUESDAY. TEMPS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE ON THE HOT SIDE AGAIN ON TUESDAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOW 90S NORTH TO NEAR 100 SOUTH.

AFTER A COOLER WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S TO LOW 90S...A
WARM AND GENERALLY DRY PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ACROSS THE AREA
WITH ONLY MINIMAL THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. AN UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED
TO DOMINATE THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND...WARMING HIGHS TO NEAR 100
ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 700 PM CDT SUN JUL 7 2013

A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE AREA...WITH
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT LIKELY. STORMS HAVE PLENTY OF JUICE TO WORK
WITH AND CAN QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS...AND MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS. MAIN THREAT WILL BE OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...THEN AS TEMPS COOL THE THREAT DIMINISHES
OVERNIGHT. THE MORNING SHOULD BE VFR...WITH REDEVELOP POSSIBLE
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS THE NEXT SHORT WAVE ARRIVES IN CONJUNCTION
WITH PEAK HEATING. HIGHER PROB...30 PERCENT...IS FOCUSED OVER THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE NEBRASKA...AN INCLUDED IN THE KVTN TAF. WILL
HOLD OFF ON INCLUDING IN THE KLBF TAF AT THIS TIME.
