AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
624 PM CDT MON SEP 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 306 PM CDT MON SEP 9 2013

PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE...HAS FINALLY BEGUN TO SHIFT
EAST OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND WAS LOCATED OVER CENTRAL MO PER 12Z
UA HAND ANALYSIS. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDED FROM NERN MT SWD
INTO NRN UT. A SECOND DEVELOPING LOW WAS LOCATED OVER SRN
CALIFORNIA. AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM NERN
NEBRASKA TO BROKEN BOW...TO NORTH PLATTE...AND JUST SOUTH OF
OGALLALA. THIS FEATURE HAS STALLED OUT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
HRS...HELD UP BY THE INTENSE HEAT SOUTH OF THE FRONT ACROSS FAR
SOUTHWESTERN...SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEBRASKA. TEMPERATURES AS
OF 2 PM CDT...RANGED FROM THE UPPER 70S ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...TO THE MID 90S IN FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. 2 PM CDT TEMPERATURES WERE 83 IN VALENTINE...86 IN
THEDFORD...89 IN OGALLALA...90 IN NORTH PLATTE AND 93 AT IMPERIAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 306 PM CDT MON SEP 9 2013

A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR ORD TO NORTH PLATTE TO
IMPERIAL THIS AFTERNOON. SOME INSTABILITY HAS DEVELOPED ALONG AND
BEHIND THE FRONT...WHERE A COMBINATION OF HIGHER DEW POINTS AND
STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE YIELDED AROUND 2000 J/KG OF SURFACE
BASED CAPE. SOME CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT IS NOTED IN THE NEAR THE
FRONT...AND AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE
FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS
WILL COME THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE PANHANDLE
INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRACKS
NORTHEAST AND COMBINES WITH A SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET NOSING NORTH
INTO THE AREA. SOME SHEAR IS NOTED...WITH EFFECTIVE SHEAR VALUES
RUNNING IN THE 40 TO 50 KNOT RANGE...SO A STRONG STORM OR TWO IS
POSSIBLE.

THE FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTH INTO FAR SOUTHERN NEBRASKA OR NORTHERN
KANSAS TUESDAY. COOLER WEATHER FINALLY ARRIVES FOR ALL OF WESTERN
AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA TUESDAY...WITH THE ONLY AREAS THAT MAY
APPROACH 90 DEGREES ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA IN HAYES AND
FRONTIER COUNTIES IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT. THERE IS A
BETTER POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...AS MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES COOL A FEW DEGREES OVER
THOSE OBSERVED TODAY. THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING THE MORNING TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...WHERE A MOIST MID LEVEL PLUME WILL
RESIDE.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 306 PM CDT MON SEP 9 2013

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...MAIN FORECASTING
CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE PRECIPITATION CHANCES AS A SHIFT IN THE
PATTERN CONTINUES INTO THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK. A TUG OF WAR OF
SORTS BETWEEN AIRMASSES WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS...BETWEEN MOIST MONSOONAL AIR FROM THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
ROCKIES...AND DRIER AIR THAT TRIES TO WORK INTO NORTHERN AND EASTERN
NEBRASKA FROM THE NORTHEAST. THROUGH WEDNESDAY...LOW LEVEL
EASTERLIES WILL CONTINUE NORTH OF A STALLED OUT FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...WHICH WILL RESIDE ALONG THE NEBR/KS BORDER. ISENTROPIC
LIFT...WILL CONTINUE TO BE MOST PREVALENT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND
WESTERN CWA...AND WILL CONTINUE HIGHEST POPS IN THESE AREAS. FURTHER
NORTH...I TRIMMED POPS OUT OF THE FORECAST IN THE NORTHEAST AND FAR
NORTHERN AREAS THANKS TO SOME DRIER MID LEVEL AIR WHICH WORKS INTO
NORTHEASTERN AND PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA FROM THE EASTERN
DAKOTAS AND MINNESOTA. FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...THE
PATTERN WILL AMPLIFY FURTHER WITH A BROAD DEEP TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE ALOFT...DEEPENING ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE CONUS. AS
THIS FEATURE DEEPENS...DRIER AIR WILL WORK SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...DECREASING THE THREAT FOR PCPN...AND
SHIFTING THE BEST MOISTURE AND MID LEVEL FORCING INTO NWRN KS AND
NERN COLORADO. WITH THESE MODEL TRENDS...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WERE
SCALED BACK WITH SLIGHT CHANCES IN THE SOUTH AND WEST AND DRY CONDS
ELSEWHERE. BY FRIDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT
EAST INTO EASTERN CANADA AND THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. AT THE SAME
TIME...UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK INTO THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES...WHICH WILL ALLOW MONSOONAL MOISTURE TO WORK NORTH BACK
INTO WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
BEGINS TO TRACK NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL AND NERN WYOMING...SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AND LIFT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE SLOW TO LIFT
INTO THE DAKOTAS SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...SO THE THREAT FOR
PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND. WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES ANTICIPATED THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...HIGHS MAY STRUGGLE TO
GET OUT OF THE 70S. LOWS HOWEVER...WILL BE ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS WITH
READINGS IN THE 50S EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 623 PM CDT MON SEP 9 2013

SHORT RANGE SIMULATIONS INDICATE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
AFTER 00Z ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHED FROM SOUTH OF
ONL TO NEAR BBW-LBF-IML. THERE IS MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL
OCCUR FROM 00Z TO 06Z WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF THUNDER AT LBF
01-03Z. LATER TONIGHT...AN UPPER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BRING ANOTHER
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORM TO CENTRAL AND WESTERN
NEBRASKA 07-10Z AND WE HAVE MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT THUNDER WILL
OCCUR NEAR VTN IN THAT PERIOD. AFTER THAT...THE NEXT GOOD CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TUESDAY AFTERNOON ALONG AND SOUTH OF A
BBW-LBF-OGA LINE.
