AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
622 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 257 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM CENTERS ON THE SEVERE
CHANCES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING...THEREAFTER
QUIET AND PLEASANT WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED FOR MUCH OF SUNDAY.

18 HAND ANALYSIS OF THE SURFACE INDICATES LOW PRESSURE HAS ADVANCED
SLIGHTLY EAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...NOW IN THE VICINITY OF
KMCK...WITH A COOL FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHEAST BACK INTO SOUTHEASTERN
COLORADO.  AN ADDITIONAL BOUNDARY /COOL FRONT/ IS SEEN IN BOTH THE
VIS SATELLITE AND KLNX 88D DATA.  THIS IS PRESUMED TO BE THE COLD
FRONT OF INTEREST...WHICH IS NOW THROUGH KTIF...AND INTO
NORTHWESTERN LINCOLN COUNTY.  A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH HAS ADVANCED
THROUGH MUCH OF THE CWA...WITH KONL BEING THE LONE AWOS INDICATING A
SOUTHERLY TRAJECTORY OF THE SURFACE WIND.  18Z SPECIAL SOUNDING FROM
KLBF REVEALS SUBSTANTIAL NEGATIVE ENERGY BELOW THE LFC...BUT
ELEVATED CAPE OF GREATER THAN 2000 J/KG.  TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM
THE MID 60S ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST NEBRASKA...TO THE LOWER 80S OVER
OUR FAR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES.  ALOFT A POTENT SHORTWAVE IS TRAVERSING
THROUGH THE CENTRAL/EASTERN UTAH...WITH PROGRESSIVE SOUTHWEST FLOW
DIRECTED AT THE CENTRAL PLAINS.  THIS SHORT-WAVE TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED MID-LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS WILL PROGRESS THROUGH THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES AND OUT ONTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS
EVENING/OVERNIGHT...HELPING THE BREACH THE STOUT CAP THAT IS IN
PLACE.  ATTM...TWO PRIMARY AREAS OF CONVECTION APPEAR LIKELY.  FIRST
OF WHICH IS PROGGED TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
ACROSS FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED STRONG DYNAMIC FORCING OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
STORMS SHOULD INITIATE ALONG THE FRONT...WHICH THE LATEST CONVECTION
ALLOWING MODELS CONTINUING TO SUGGEST INITIATION FROM 21-00Z ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY WITH A LARGE
CONTRIBUTION OF CAPE />1000 J/KG/ IN THE -10 TO -30C HAIL GROWTH
ZONE WOULD FAVOR LARGE HAIL...HOWEVER A BRIEF SPIN UP WOULD BE
POSSIBLE AS WELL AS MODEL BUFR SIMULATED HODOGRAPHS INDICATE SOME
LOW LEVEL VEERING.  IN ADDITION...THE LATEST RUC40 INDICATES LCL
HEIGHTS AND 0-1KM SHEAR THAT MODESTLY SUPPORTS TORNADIC
DEVELOPMENT.  IF WELL DEVELOPED STORMS FORM AND REMAIN DISCRETE
ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...A TORNADO OR TWO IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION...BUT THE CURRENT THOUGHT IS THAT STORMS WILL QUICKLY
MERGE.

OTHERWISE WILL NEED TO WATCH LATE AFTERNOON POST FRONTAL
CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHEASTERN COLORADO/WESTERN
PANHANDLE. ALL MODELS INDICATE THIS CONVECTION IMPACTING
SOUTHWESTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SANDHILLS THIS EVENING.
THE POST FRONTAL ATMOSPHERE WILL BE CHARACTERIZED AS LESS
UNSTABLE...BUT HAVE A BIT MORE SHEAR TO PLAY WITH. SEVERE HAIL AND
GUSTY WIND WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION.

POSSIBLY CONCERNING IS THE SUBSEQUENT MERGING OF BOTH THUNDERSTORM
GROUPS...POSSIBLY OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA...WITH THE UPSCALE GROWTH OF
A QLCS...STRONG WIND MAY BE A CONCERN WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...THIS
ACTIVITY SHOULD BE WELL EAST OF OUR CWA...BUT WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED AS THE NAM GENERATES HEAVY QPF ACROSS OUR FAR EAST.  THE
ACTIVITY SHOULD QUICKLY RACE EAST AND BE OUT OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT.

FOR SUNDAY...PLEASANT CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR THE
AFTERNOON...WITH WESTERLY FLOW AND POST FRONTAL AIRMASS IN PLACE.
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S SHOULD PREVAIL...WITH DRY
WEATHER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 257 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

THE FORECAST FOR THE LONG TERM STARTS OFF WITH WEST-SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT AND LEE SIDE TROUGHING UP THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE HIGH
PLAINS. A LOW LEVEL JET WILL EXIST ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND
WESTERN NE...WITH REASONABLE MOST UNSTABLE CAPE IN PLACE AS WELL.
THE NAM/GFS/SREF ALL HAVE HINTS OF SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
AFTER MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT. SO...EXPANDED THE ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE A LITTLE FURTHER EAST AND NORTH. ON
MONDAY...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY
ACROSS THE EAST. THE NAM/GFS/ECMWF ALL HAVE DEW POINTS OF 70
DEGREES IN THE NORTHEAST. A SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO EXIST
AROUND THE SD/WY/NE TRIPLE POINT...WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDED
EASTWARD NEAR THE SD/NE BORDER. THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE IN THE
EAST WILL LEND TO SURFACE BASED CAPES RUNNING AROUND 5000 J/KG.
THE INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH AROUND 40 KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR WILL
LEAD TO A FAVORABLE SEVERE WEATHER SCENARIO LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON.
THE EASTERN FORECAST AREA IS CURRENTLY OUTLOOKED FOR A SLIGHT RISK
IN THE SPC DAY 3 OUTLOOK.

ON TUESDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL LIKELY EXIST OVER THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED SOMEWHERE OVER NE/SD
...AS MODELS ARE DIFFERING A BIT ON PLACEMENT. ALTHOUGH THUNDER IS
IN THE FORECAST FOR TUESDAY...THE BETTER CHANCE WILL COME ON
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN THE INFLUENCE FROM THE APPROACHING
UPPER LOW WILL BE FELT IN NEBRASKA. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A STRONG
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE AREA...WITH A SCENARIO POSSIBLY FAVORABLE
FOR SEVERE WEATHER ONCE AGAIN. THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT WED/WED
NIGHT WILL LEAVE THE AREA IN A COOLER AIR MASS FOR THURSDAY. THE LOW
MAY BECOME NEARLY STACKED AND BRING SOME TROWAL PRECIP TO THE AREA
AS WELL. THE AREA WILL BE IN NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE UPPER LOW ON
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...LEADING TO A GRADUAL WARMING TREND AND RATHER
BENIGN WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 620 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME NUMEROUS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
I-80 THIS EVENING WITH STORM COVERAGE DECREASING NORTHWARD TO
SCATTERED COVERAGE.

STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO EXIT THE FCST AREA 09Z-12Z SUNDAY
MORNING WITH VFR DEVELOPING ALL AREAS 12Z-15Z AND CONTINUING THRU
SUNDAY AFTN.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 257 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

THE SOUTH PLATTE AND PLATTE RIVER BASINS CONTINUE TO BE IMPACTED BY
RAPID SNOW MELT OFF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN WEST...THUS RIVER LEVELS WILL
REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.  HOWEVER NOTE THE RIVER
LEVEL ON BOTH THE SOUTH PLATTE...AND PLATTE RIVER ARE BEGINNING TO
SLOWLY FALL.  WITH THE RIVER ABOVE ACTION STAGE AT BOTH ROSCOE AND
BRADY...WILL CONTINUE THE ISSUANCE OF A HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT FOR
THESE LOCATIONS.  MINOR FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER IN AND
NEAR NORTH PLATTE WILL CONTINUE IN LOW LYING AREAS AND ESPECIALLY AT
THE IRON EAGLE GOLF COURSE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THUS THE FLOOD
ADVISORY CONTINUES.  CONVECTIVE RAINFALL IS ANTICIPATED IN THE
REGION THIS EVENING AND AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK.  WHILE NOT
CURRENTLY EXPECTED...IF STORMS WERE TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREA
DROPPING HEAVY RAINFALL...ADDITIONAL SHORT TERM RISES WOULD BE
POSSIBLE.  AGAIN...THIS SCENARIO IS NOT CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED...BUT
WILL BE WATCHED CLOSELY TONIGHT.
