AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
306 PM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

.DISCUSSION...
EXTENDED PERIOD OF CONVECTION WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN
IN THE SHORT TERM. POTENTIAL FOR BOTH SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY
RAIN WITH POSSIBLE FLOODING WILL BE A PART OF THE FORECAST THROUGH
THURSDAY AS UPPER SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES BEGINS TO PIVOT
INTO THE PLAINS REGION...FOLLOWED BY A SLOW PROGRESSION OF THE
UPPER SYSTEM OUT OF THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY.

ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY EXTENDS FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
INTO THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON WITH ONGOING
CONVECTION ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA. PERIODS OF
THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIKELY TONIGHT INTO
THURSDAY AS CONVECTION OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA AND KANSAS LIFTS
NORTHEAST AHEAD OF THE UPPER WAVE. MAIN ENERGY MOVES EAST OF THE
AREA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON BUT SURFACE TROUGH LINGERS OVER EASTERN
NEBRASKA SUPPORTED BY A CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS
INTO THURSDAY EVENING. THIS WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUED THREAT OF
CONVECTION FOR SOUTHEAST PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY ALTHOUGH STRONGER STORMS EXPECTED TO STAY SOUTHEAST
OF THE AREA. LINGERING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN
OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM AS THE UPPER
SYSTEM GRADUALLY MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST.

EXTENDED PERIOD STARTS OFF DRY FOR SUNDAY BUT RAIN CHANCES RETURN
BY MONDAY AND CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS NEXT UPPER WAVE MOVES
INTO AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. LITTLE CHANGE TO CURRENT
FORECAST TRENDS DURING THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS FOR KOFK...KOMA AND KLNK.

PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD MAKE THIS CYCLE
A DIFFICULT FORECAST. ALTHOUGH NOT EXPECTING CONTINUOUS
THUNDERSTORMS AT ANY OF THE TAF SITES...PERIOD OF THUNDERSTORMS
CANNOT BE RULED OUT FOR ANY GIVEN TIME OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THEREFORE...HAVE INCLUDED TEMPO GROUPS FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
FIRST 9 HOURS...THEN USED PROB30 GROUPS FROM 06-18Z. GUSTY
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE
SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY BY THURSDAY MORNING. CEILING HEIGHTS
OVERALL WILL LIKELY REMAIN MVFR TO VFR WITH SOME INTERMITTENT IFR.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

FLOOD WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE MISSOURI RIVER BELOW THE
PLATTE RIVER AND FOR THE LITTLE SIOUX RIVER. ELSEWHERE SEVERAL RIVERS
ARE NEAR BANKFULL BUT ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW FLOOD STAGE IN
THE SHORT TERM. THE CURRENT FORECAST FOR THE LITTLE SIOUX RIVER
BRINGS WATER LEVELS TO NEAR RECORD VALUES. THE RECORD FOR THE LITTLE
SIOUX RIVER NEAR TURIN OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 19TH, 1971 WHEN THE
RIVER REACHED 27.4 FEET. THE CURRENT FORECAST CALLS FOR THE RIVER TO
REACH 26.5 FEET. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE LEVEL REACHED IN JUNE OF
1996. IN ADDITION TO RIVER FLOODING...FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND MUCH
OF IOWA. HEAVY RAINS THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAVE LED TO SATURATED
