Area forecast discussion, May 18, 1:35 PM MDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013 .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013 SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL STILL ON TRACK THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LATEST SFC ANALYSIS HAS A SFC LOW PRESSURE CENTER LOCATED IN EASTERN COLORADO...WITH A DRY LINE EXTENDING SOUTH FROM THE LOW CENTER THROUGH THE TX PANHANDLE AND WARM FRONT EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN KS. SFC LOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD TO NEAR GOODLAND BY LATE AFTERNOON A WARM FRONT WILL ARC NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA FROM THE LOW CENTER. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD INITIATE AROUND IMPERIAL AND HAYES CENTER AROUND 400 PM CDT ON THE NOSE OF VERY STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES/DRY LINE WHICH WILL BE PUNCHING INTO FAR SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. STORMS LIKELY TO BECOME SUPERCELLS QUICKLY AS THEY MOVE NORTHEAST INTO A VERY TO EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AND FAVORABLE SHEARED ATMOSPHERE. BACKED SFC WINDS TO THE SOUTHEAST ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...WITH SPEEDS INCREASING JUST OFF THE SFC EARLY THIS EVENING. THE TIME FRAME FROM 600 PM CDT TO 900 PM CDT LOOKS TO BE THE MOST FAVORABLE FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. IN ADDITION TO THE TORNADO THREAT...VERY LARGE HAIL...POSSIBLE BASEBALL SIZE OR LARGER...IS EXPECTED. STORMS WILL LIKELY MERGE EARLY THIS EVENING INTO A COMPLEX AS THEY ADVANCE NORTHEAST TOWARD CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS FROM THE COMPLEX. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013 AT H5 UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES AND RIDGING INTO GREAT LAKES. AT THE SURFACE SURFACE LOW OVER NORTHWEST KANSAS WITH INVERTED TROUGH INTO CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND DRY LINE FROM EASTERN COLORADO THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013 TSTMS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. INITIAL ROUND OF STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP/MOVE NORTHEAST FROM SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...THROUGH CENTRAL AND INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. BACKED SFC WINDS TO THE SOUTHEAST ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...WITH SPEEDS INCREASING JUST OFF THE SFC EARLY THIS EVENING. THE TIME FRAME FROM 600 PM CDT TO 900 PM CDT LOOKS TO BE THE MOST FAVORABLE FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. IN ADDITION TO THE TORNADO THREAT...VERY LARGE HAIL...POSSIBLE BASEBALL SIZE OR LARGER...IS EXPECTED. STORMS WILL LIKELY MERGE EARLY THIS EVENING INTO A COMPLEX AS THEY ADVANCE NORTHEAST TOWARD CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS FROM THE COMPLEX. AFTER THIS INITIAL ROUND...ADDITIONAL ELEVATED TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THESE WILL BE THE RESULT OF A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET AND CONTINUED LARGE SCALE ASCENT. MODELS NOT IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT SUNDAY...AND THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION EXPECTED TONIGHT. BASICALLY A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL SLOWLY MIGRATE EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS SUNDAY AND BEYOND. CONVECTION WILL LIKELY DICTATE THE ACTUAL LOCATION OF THE FEATURE. FOR NOW IT APPEARS IT MAY BE IN OR VERY NEAR THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY...SO HIGHER POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED. THERE COULD BE SOME STRONGER STORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE LOCATED IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013 MODELS HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH HANDLING OF H5 LOW FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS BUT STILL ALL IN ALL WITH SUTTLE DIFFERENCES WIDE SPREAD PRECIPITATION EXPECTED FOR MOST OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
