Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 6:37 PM CDT, 3 hours 34 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
637 PM CDT MON JUL 8 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 312 PM CDT MON JUL 8 2013

BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND SOUTHERN
PLAINS TODAY. SHORT WAVE RIDING THE PERIPHERAL OF THE
RIDGE...CROSSING THE ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE LEADING EDGE
NOW PUSHING INTO SE WY. STALLED SURFACE BOUNDARY STRETCHES EAST/WEST
ACROSS THE STATE...THEN PUSHES NORTH TO A LOW OVER SE MONTANA.
MEANWHILE A SECOND LOW IS LOCATED OVER NE COLORADO AND A TRAILING
TROUGH TO THE S/SSW.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 PM CDT MON JUL 8 2013

AS THE SHORT WAVE MOVES EAST TONIGHT EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO
FIRE...SOME REACHING SEVERE LIMITS. WHILE TEMPS ARE ONLY AROUND 90
TO THE MID 90S...A MOISTURE RICH ENVIRONMENT EXISTS...MORNING
SOUNDING HAD PWATS NEAR 1.40 INCHES. THIS IS 129% OF NORMAL AND
ABOVE THE 75 PERCENTILE. LATEST LAPS HAS ERODED MOST OF THE
CAP...AND STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER THE PANHANDLE. THIS
AREA WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE
WAVE MOVING ACROSS WY. THUS EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE
WEATHER. DECENT SHEAR SHOULD ALLOW FOR STORMS TO SPIN WITH LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. EARLY ON WITH DISCREET
CELLS AN ISOLATED TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. AS THE EVENING
PROGRESS THE STORMS WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO AN MCS AND CONTINUE TO
MOVE EAST.

BEHIND THE MCS RICH MOISTURE WILL EXIST ACROSS THE AREA. THIS
MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN CWA HAD SOME FOG DEVELOP AND SEE
A SIMILAR SET UP TONIGHT. HAVE INCLUDED PATCHY FOG FOR NOW...AND
WILL MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE LOCALLY DENSE FOG. SOME OF THE MOS
GUIDANCE DOES HAVE VSBY DOWN TO 1SM SO HAVE ADDITIONAL CONFIDENCE OF
FOG DEVELOPMENT.

TOMORROW THE RIDGE WILL RETROGRADE SLIGHTLY WESTWARD...CENTERING
MORE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS. THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE OF NW FLOW
ALOFT. MEANWHILE A WEAK SFC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. MOST
OF THE DAY EXPECT THE CAP TO HOLD...HOWEVER AS THE FRONT PUSHES
EAST...THE CHANCE INCREASES FOR MORE STORMS DEVELOPMENT. GENERALLY
EXPECT STORMS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE
FRONT TEMPS WILL STILL BE WARM...WITH 90S AND MAYBE A 100 DEGREE
READING ACROSS FAR SW NEB.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 PM  CDT MON JUL 8 2013

FOR TUES NIGHT...RELATIVELY SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH
THE FCST AREA AS A RESULT OF A FAIRLY PTENTIAL UPPER PV ANOMALY
MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. TIMING IS A BIT IN QUESTION AS
MODELS GENERALLY HAVE THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BY 00Z WED. BEST
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE APPEARS TO POOL IN NORTHEASTERN NEB INTO ERN SD
AND HENCE BETTER CAPE RESIDE AHEAD OF THE FRONT THERE. GOOD DEEP
LAYER SHEAR WOULD ALSO BE PRESENT SHOULD THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
OCCUR...HOWEVER BEST  LOW LEVEL FORCING APPEARS TO OUTSIDE OF THE
FCST AREA. STILL HAVE INCLUDED SMALL CHCS IN SOUTHERN FRINGES OF
FCST AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR POTENTIAL SLOWER FRONTAL PASSAGE AND WITH
THE FRONT STALLING. UPPER RIDGE REBOUNDS QUICKLY WED AS NEXT
SIGNIFICANT LONG WAVE TROUGH PUSHES INTO THE PAC NW. SOME INTIAL
CHANCE FOR SHRA OR ISOLATED TSRA WED IN UPSLOPE POST-FRONTAL FLOW.
HOWEVER MODELS TYPICALLY OVER PLAY THIS POTENTIAL AS POST-FRONTAL
DEVELOPMENT USUALLY FAVORS THE HIGHER TERRAIN FURTHER WEST SO
CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO NOT HIGH...AND ADDING TO THIS IS FAIRLY
DRY LOW LEVELS AS PROGGED BY FCST SOUNDINGS. SO ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT
OCCURS FURTHER WEST SHOULD STRUGGLE AS IS PUSHES EWD. STRONG UPPER
RIDGE BUILDS IN FOR LATE WED INTO THURSDAY SO WITH WARMING TEMPS
ALOFT AND BEST LARGE SCALE ASCENT LOCATED WELL NORTH OF THE AREA A
DRY FCST IS IN PLACE FOR THURSDAY. MAX TEMPS WED WILL BE HELD DOWN
THOUGH STILL NEAR AVE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH SOME CLOUD COVER
AND THE COOLER AIR BEING RECIRCULATED IN UPSLOPE ERLY/SERLY FLOW.
HOWEVER...THE REBOUND QUICKLY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

FOR FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN AS THE
NEXT LONG WAVE TROUGH IN THE NORTHERN STREAM PUSHES EASTWARD FROM
THE PAC NW. THE CENTRAL PLAINS REMAIN UNDER THE RIDGE AS IT GETS
KNOCKED DOWN AND ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS FOR
THE WEEKEND. LEAD SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA
AND WILL DRIVE A FRONT SOUTHWARD...BUT WILL HAVE A HARD TIME
PROGRESSING THROUGH THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE. CONFIDENCE LOW ON
POTENTIAL FOR LOW LEVEL FORCING SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME MID LEVEL CAP
BUT THE EXCEPTION MAY BE IN NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA CLOSER
TO STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY. FOR SATURDAY BOUNDARY REMAINS ACROSS
THE AREA BUT DESPITE DECENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CAPE IS LACKING WITH
WARM MID LEVEL TEMPS. CONVECTIVE INITIATION SAT MAY BE FURTHER NORTH
AND CLOSER TO WHERE UPPER LEVEL FORCING CAN INDUCE BETTER LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE...AND THEN DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT IN NEBR WOULD BE
ASSOCIATED WITH STORM INTERACTION. CONFIDENCE IS AGAIN NOT HIGH BUT
POTENTIAL IS BETTER THAN FRIDAY. SUNDAY SEEMS THE BEST POTENTIAL AS
FRONTAL BOUNDARY AGAIN REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA BUT AS ANOTHER
SIGNIFICANT PV ANOMALY PASSES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS THERE
SHOULD BE BETTER DEEP LAYER ASCENT AND WITH AN ERLY FLOW IN THE LOW
LEVELS THERE SHOULD BE BETTER DEEP LAYER SHEAR TO SUSTAIN
DEVELOPMENT. AVERAGE CONFIDENCE FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FOR
SUNDAY. TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE AVE FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY AS RIDGE REMAINS OVERHEAD...BUT WILL COOL BY MONDAY
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AND ASSUMING MORE CLOUD COVER
ASSOCIATED WITH ANY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 635 PM CDT MON JUL 8 2013

EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 01Z AT THE KVTN
TERMINAL...AND FROM 01Z THROUGH 03Z AT THE KLBF TERMINAL THIS
EVENING. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR BY LATE EVENING...AND WILL
PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. CLOUDINESS WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED MID CLOUDS AON 7000 FT
AGL POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT...EXCEPT IN
THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS WHERE SOME VARIABLE GUSTS TO 40 KTS
ARE POSSIBLE. WINDS ON TUESDAY WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST AT 10 TO
15 KTS.
