Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 1:11 PM MDT, 6 hours 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
211 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 209 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014

A DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE WASHINGTON COAST MOVES
INLAND THROUGH SRN CANADA SUNDAY AND SENDS A STRONG PACIFIC COLD
FRONT THROUGH WRN AND NCNTL NEB. THIS WILL BRING COOLER AIR INTO THE
FCST AREA MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WARMER WEATHER DEVELOPS THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY AS A MORE SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN DEVELOPS.

RAIN CHANCES DECREASE AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY.
UNTIL THEN THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 209 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014

TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...ABBREVIATED DISCUSSION AS WE ARE CURRENTLY
WATCHING CONVECTIVE TRENDS. MULTIPLE MODES OF CONVECTION CAN BE
ANTICIPATED ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE
STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND...AND GUSTY OUTFLOW EXISTS.
IN ADDITION...HEAVY RAINFALL MAY ACCOMPANY STORMS THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT AS CELLS MERGE AND CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES FORM. THE
FORECAST IN THE SHORT TERM RELIES ON A BLEND OF THE 27.12Z NAM AND
NEAR TERM CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS. THE OVERALL IDEA IS THAT
MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A SHORTWAVE IMPULSE ASSOCIATED WITH A
NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH EJECTS NORTHEAST ATOP THE CENTRAL PLAINS
FROM SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO. MVFR STRATUS HAS BACKED INTO THE
EASTERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY TODAY...LIMITING LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND PROVIDING FOR A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CAP /SEE
18Z SPECIAL KLBF SOUNDING/. WITH THAT BEING SAID...THE STRATUS IS
SLOWLY BREAKING...WITH A BKN DECK NOW GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF
A KOGA TO KONL LINE. THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD FURTHER DESTABILIZE AS
THE IMPULSE CLOSES AND ADDITIONAL CLEARING OCCURS. RAP GENERATED
SBCAPES APPROACH 3000 J/KG BY LATE AFTERNOON EAST OF A IMPERIAL TO
NORTH PLATTE TO BROKEN BOW LINE...WITH UP TO 2000 J/KG ACROSS
WESTERN NEBRASKA AND MUCH OF THE SANDHILLS REGION. ONCE THE CAP
ERODES...STORMS ARE LIKELY TO FORM IN TWO GENERAL AREAS...FIRST
ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHEAST COLORADO...IN THE VICINITY
OF A NORTH TO SOUTH SFC TROUGH EXTENDING FROM A SFC LOW CENTERED
IN FAR WEST CENTRAL KANSAS. IN THIS AREA THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE
HAIL INITIALLY...BUT THEN TRANSITION TO A WIND THREAT AS THE
STORMS MERGE INTO A CONVECTIVE LINE AND DCAPES APPROACH 1000 J/KG.
THIS ACTIVITY PROJECTED TO LIFT EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SANDHILLS THIS EVENING.

THE SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION WILL BE ANTICIPATED INVOF THE
TRIPLE POINT THAT IS SHOWN TO SLOWLY BULGE NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN
KANSAS/SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA.  STORMS IN THIS AREA MAY PRODUCE A BRIEF
TORNADO AS THE SUPERCELLS REMAIN SEMI-DISCRETE.  THE TORNADO THREAT
WILL BE SHORT-LIVED HOWEVER AS THE STORMS SHOULD QUICKLY EVOLVE INTO
MULTIPLE CLUSTERS.  IN ADDITION TO THE BRIEF TORNADO
THREAT...HAIL...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE VERY LARGE...WILL BE POSSIBLE
AS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION OF CAPE RESIDES IN THE -10 TO -30C
LAYER...BUT ONCE AGAIN THE VERY LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL BE MAINLY
TIED DURING THE INITIAL SEMI-DISCRETE SUPERCELL STAGE.  THIS
ACTIVITY FROM SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA IS PROJECTED TO MERGE TO THE
NORTHEAST AND WILL PRODUCE GUSTY WIND AND HEAVY RAINFALL AS PWATS
INCREASE TO THE 1.25-1.50" RANGE.  MORE ON THE RAIN THREAT BELOW.

THE FORECAST GENERALLY CALLS FOR WIDESPREAD 50-60% POPS OVER MUCH OF
THE SANDHILLS...WESTERN...SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS
EVENING...WITH POPS INCREASING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA LATE
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.  DIDN/T WANT TO GO MUCH HIGHER AS
CONVECTION...WELL IT/S CONVECTION.

CONCERNING THE HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL...THE POTENTIAL MCS/S/ MAY
PROVE TO BE A FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVERNIGHT AS A COLD POOL
DEVELOPS AND POSSIBLY REINFORCING A WEST TO EAST BOUNDARY...FOR
WHICH REDEVELOPMENT/TRAINING WOULD OCCUR AS THE LLJ STRENGTHENS.
AGAIN PWATS INCREASE TO OVER 1.25" ATOP EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA...WITH THE POTENTIAL OF 1.50" OVER FRONTIER AND CUSTER
COUNTIES.  WE MAY SEE A LOCALIZED FLOOD THREAT.

FOR SATURDAY...LINGERING SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AS THE FOCUS FOR STORMS SHIFTS EAST WITH THE
BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE PLEASANT...WITH
WIDESPREAD 80S ANTICIPATED.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 209 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES REVOLVE AROUND
THE PROGRESSION OF RETURN MOISTURE AND A PACIFIC COLD FRONT FCST TO
ARRIVE SUNDAY. RETURN MOISTURE SATURDAY NIGHT MIGHT PRODUCE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY FOR ISOLATED TSTMS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST ZONES. THE
BETTER CHANCES OCCUR SUNDAY AFTN/NIGHT AS THE PACIFIC FRONT SAGS
THRU THE FORECAST AREA FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. AREAS EAST OF
HIGHWAY 83 ARE MORE FAVORED AT THIS TIME.

A FAIRLY STRONG THERMAL RIDGE/CAP DEVELOPS SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT WITH H700MB TEMPERATURES RISING TO 15C ACROSS SWRN NEB. THIS
SHOULD SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S AHEAD OF THE FRONT. GIVEN THE
THE PROXIMITY OF AN UPPER LOW OVER MANITOBA...HEATING AND
MOISTURE...HIGH CAPE AND STRONG WINDS ALOFT SUPPORT SEVERE TSTM
DEVELOPMENT AS THE CAP WEAKENS SUNDAY AFTN AND EVENING. POPS TAPER
ACROSS SWRN NEB WITH THE CAP IN PLACE UNTIL 06Z OR LATER.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...A SUBTROPICAL UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
ACROSS THE MID SOUTH AND THEN AMPLIFIES SOMEWHAT ACROSS THE ROCKIES.
RETURN MOISTURE DEVELOPS WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND. GIVEN THE WARMING
ALOFT...SLOW MOISTURE RETURN AND WEAKENING WIND FIELDS...ISOLATED
POPS ARE LIMITED TO THE NIGHTTIME PERIOD. THE MODELS SUGGEST H500MB
TEMPS WOULD RISE TO -6C TO -8C WHICH WOULD GENERALLY CAP DAYTIME
CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES RISE FROM AROUND 80 TUESDAY TO THE 90S BY
FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1215 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014

LOW CEILINGS DEVELOPED INTO THE VICINITY OF NORTH PLATTE AROUND
15Z. THE MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER THROUGH 21Z THEN
LIFTING TO VFR. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WHERE THUNDERSTORM
CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS ON THE HIGH PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON WILL
MOVE EAST THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO DEVELOP
IN THE KLBF VICINITY NEAR 01Z THEN MOVE EAST AND NORTH THAT WILL
CARRY THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT INTO THE KVTN AREA AFTER 02Z.
BEYOND 06Z THE CONVECTION WILL BE MOVING OUT FOR GENERAL CLEARING
FOR VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY.
