AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
700 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 326 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

STORM CHANCES TONIGHT...THEN THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON WEDNESDAY
ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS OF THE FORECAST.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS CENTERED OVER IDAHO WITH RIDGING
CENTERED FROM THE DEEP SOUTH INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY. 20Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...IN THE KLBF VICINITY. A DISTINCT DRY-LINE WAS
SEEN FROM JUST WEST OF KMCK DOWN THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS.
MEANWHILE...A STATIONARY FRONT WAS LOCATED FROM AROUND KAIA TO KANW
TO KOFK THIS AFTERNOON. 12Z UPPER ANALYSIS SHOWED 700MB TEMPERATURES
AT KLBF AND KOAX OF +13C AND +15C RESPECTIVELY INDICATING A GOOD CAP
OVER THE FORECAST AREA. LAPS SOUNDINGS AT 19Z SHOWED THIS CAP
WELL...HOWEVER SHOWED AREAS OF SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA HAD NEARLY BROKEN
THE CAP. BUT VERY DRY AIR IN THESE AREAS WILL KEEP ANY DEVELOPMENT
OF STORMS...OR CLOUDS FROM OCCURRING. TO THE WEST OVER THE PANHANDLE
THERE WAS A BIT MORE MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE...AND WITH A LIFTING
MECHANISM COMING FROM WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE ENERGY PUSHING OUT
OF THE TROUGH...CUMULUS AND SOME RADAR ECHOES WERE STARTING TO SHOW
UP.

BELIEVE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR STORMS WILL BE OVER SOUTH DAKOTA...BUT
COULD GET SOME STORMS TONIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA. THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW WON/T MAKE MUCH PROGRESSION TONIGHT...LEAVING THE
UPPER JET STREAK FROM UTAH INTO WYOMING. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE
STRONGEST LARGE-SCALE LIFT BEING FROM NORTHERN COLORADO INTO
SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA. LOOKING IN THE LOWER LEVELS...CURRENT
MESO-ANALYSIS SHOWS AN AREA OF CONVERGENCE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
TRANSPORT FROM THE BLACK HILLS INTO THE WESTERN SANDHILLS OF
NEBRASKA. SHORT TERM FORECAST MODELS INDICATE THIS AREA OF
CONVERGENCE WILL STAY FAIRLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS WHICH COULD BE THE AREA TO LOOK FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT. THE
BETTER CONVERGENCE WILL STAY OVER SOUTH DAKOTA...BUT WITH THE SB
INSTABILITY NORTH OF THE FRONT UP IN THE 3500-4500 J/KG RANGE AND
HAVING EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW THINK THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR STORMS IN THE FORECAST. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
AREA SHOULD STAY DRY TONIGHT...AND WITH THE WARM AIRMASS IN PLACE
SHOULD GET LOWS TO STAY ABOVE NORMAL MOST PLACES...IN THE UPPER 50S
AND 60S.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL PROGRESS NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY
WHICH WILL PUSH THE COLD FRONT WHICH IS NOW OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. FORECAST MODELS SHOW THE FRONT THROUGH
MUCH OF THE AREA BY 18Z WEDNESDAY SO TEMPERATURES MOST PLACES WILL
BE COOLER. THE FRONT LOOKS TO STALL SOMEWHERE FROM SOUTHWEST INTO
NORTHEAST NEBRASKA SO IF IT DOESN/T COMPLETELY CLEAR THE FORECAST
AREA...WILL SEE WARMER TEMPERATURES...POSSIBLY INTO THE 90S IN THE
SOUTHEAST PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. HELD OFF ON ANY MENTION OF
STORMS UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON...WITH THE HIGHER CHANCES COMING AFTER
00Z THURSDAY. BELIEVE THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH WON/T MOVE OUT OF
COLORADO UNTIL LATER AFTERNOON WHICH WILL BE THE PRIMARY PROVIDER
FOR THE LIFT FOR ACTIVITY LOCALLY. THE AREAS THAT WILL SEE THE
CHANCES FOR STORMS PRIOR TO 00Z WILL BE OVER THE PANHANDLE AND FAR
SOUTHERN NEBRASKA.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 326 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT IN THE MID TERM WITH SOME TEMPERATURE
ISSUES IN THE LONG TERM. WILL USE A BLEND FOR THE FORECAST. COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MAIN PLAYER
WILL BE UPPER LOW OVER IDAHO...AS SEEN IN IR...TODAY WHICH WILL MOVE
SLOWLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH SUNDAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WILL SEE CONTINUED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WITH MODELS INDICATING CONTINUED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO THE WEST AS
A STRONG 700MB WAVE ROUNDS THE BOTTOM OF THE CLOSED LOW OVER
MONTANA. GFS HAD SAME SCENARIO LAST WEEK WHICH FAILED TO
MATERIALIZE. STRONG COLD FRONT WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES DROPPING FROM
24C AT 850MB TO 14C AT 850MB THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING OVER THE
FORECAST AREA. LOOKS TO BE STRONG SUBSIDENCE. WILL CUT BACK ON POPS
SOME TO THE WEST. 850MB TEMPERATURES REBOUND THROUGH THE DAY
THURSDAY TO 20C AT 850MB WHICH TRANSLATES INTO 70S AND 80S AT THE
SURFACE. THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY DRY WITH CONVECTION FIRING SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. FRIDAY
EVENING WITH SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AND ZONAL FLOW ALOFT...MID LEVEL WAVE MOVES THROUGH AND SLIGHT
CHANCES RETAINED MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.
SOME TIMING ISSUES WITH MODELS SATURDAY HAVE CARRIED SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS THROUGH THE DAY AND INCREASED TO CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE NIGHT
AS NUMEROUS MID LEVEL WAVES MOVE THROUGH FAST ZONAL FLOW ALOFT.
TIMING ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED WITH LATER FORECASTS. SIMILAR PATTERN
SUNDAY WITH SCHC POPS THROUGH THE DAY AND THEN CHANCE POPS THROUGH
THE EVENING AS COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH WESTERN NEBRASKA
SUNDAY NIGHT. DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 80S THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
THE 70S THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 659 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

FOR THE KLBF TERMINAL...EXPECT MAINLY CLEAR SKIES WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF SOME HIGH CLOUDINESS IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHWEST OF NORTH PLATTE. AT THIS
TIME...THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AS IT TRACKS
SOUTHEAST. FOR THE KVTN TERMINAL...EXPECT IFR CIGS TO DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT THANKS TO EASTERLY WINDS. CIGS WILL SCATTER OUT BY LATE
MORNING WITH SCATTERED HIGH CLOUDINESS EXPECTED DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.
