Area forecast discussion, May 19, 6:34 PM MDT, 3 hours 41 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
734 PM CDT MON MAY 19 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT MON MAY 19 2014

H5 ANALYSIS FROM THIS MORNING IS INDICATING A BROAD LOW AMPLITUDE
RIDGE ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. FURTHER WEST...A STRONG
SHORTWAVE WAS PUSHING ON SHORE ALONG THE WASHINGTON AND OREGON
COASTS. HT FALLS WERE MOST PRONOUNCED OVER WYOMING AND EASTERN MT
WITH 40 TO 50 METER FALLS NOTED. FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST...WEAK HT
FALLS OF 10 TO 30 METERS WERE NOTED FROM WESTERN NEBRASKA INTO
WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. AT THE SURFACE...LOW
PRESSURE WAS NOTED OVER NRN SD AND NORTH CENTRAL KS. A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY EXTENDED  ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA. EAST OF THIS
FEATURE...WINDS WERE SOUTHERLY WITH NORTHERLY WINDS NOTED WEST OF
THIS FEATURE. A DRYLINE EXTENDED FROM JUST EAST OF IMPERIAL...NNWD
INTO THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. DEW POINTS EAST OF THIS
FEATURE WERE IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 50S...WHILE WEST OF THIS
FEATURE...DEW POINTS WERE IN THE 40S. RADAR IMAGERY AS OF 2 PM
CDT...SHOWS SOME NICE RETURNS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP INVOF THE I25
CORRIDOR IN EASTERN WYOMING...FROM NORTH OF CHEYENNE TO SOUTHEAST OF
DOUGLAS. OTHER ECHOES WERE NOTED OVER THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE INTO SWRN SOUTH DAKOTA. BASED ON SFC OBS...MUCH OF THIS
PCPN ISN/T REACHING THE GROUND ATTM. AS OF 2 PM CDT...UNDER MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES...TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM 73 AT VALENTINE...TO 85 AT
IMPERIAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT MON MAY 19 2014

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE THE MAIN FORECASTING CONCERN FOR TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY. A TANDEM OF SHORTWAVES WILL LIFT INTO THE HIGH PLAINS
OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 6 HOURS. THE FIRST WILL LIFT FROM EASTERN WYOMING
INTO THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...THEN NORTHERN NEBRASKA. THE
SECOND WILL LIFT INTO THE SANDHILLS FROM NERN COLORADO. THE FIRST
DISTURBANCE HAS ALREADY LED TO SOME HIGH BASED SHOWERS OVER THE HIGH
PLAINS OF EASTERN WYOMING. AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES EAST...IT SHOULD
BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED...LIFTING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. FURTHER SOUTH...THE SECOND SHORTWAVE WILL
LIFT EAST INTO THE WESTERN SANDHILLS THIS EVENING. CAP STRENGTH WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH 00Z WHERE IT BEGINS TO ERODE FROM OGALLALA
TO THEDFORD. IN THESE AREAS...AM EXPECTING CONVECTIVE INITIATION
AROUND THE 6 TO 7 PM CDT TIME FRAME THIS EVENING. BULK SHEAR IS IN
THE 35 TO 45 KT RANGE NEAR THE INITIATION POINT...HOWEVER...IT FALLS
OFF TO AROUND 30 KTS EAST OF HIGHWAY 183...SO AM EXPECTING THE MAIN
SEVERE THREAT TO BE CONFINED TO THE SANDHILLS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80
AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 183. ISOLATED COVERAGE IS EXPECTED AND IS
SUPPORTED BY THE LATEST 4KM WRF AND HRRR SOLNS WHICH DEVELOP
STRONG...BUT ISOLATED STORMS ACROSS THE SANDHILLS THIS EVENING. AS
FOR SEVERE TYPES...CONTINUED THINKING IS LARGE HAIL FOR THE MAIN
SEVERE TYPE AS LOW LEVEL HELICITIES ARE NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE THIS
EVENING. WET BULB ZEROS AROUND 8000 FT AGL FAVOR LARGE HAIL AS WELL.
WE MAY SEE SOME GUSTY WINDS INVOF ANY STORMS...HOWEVER...SINCE
LINEAR SEGMENTS ARE NOT EXPECTED...WIDESPREAD SEVERE WINDS ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED ATTM. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF
THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE EVENING...HOWEVER...SOME LIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT IN THE NORTHWESTERN CWA WHERE
MID LEVEL PERSISTS INTO THE OVERNIGHT. FOR TOMORROW...TEMPERATURES
WILL COOL SLIGHTLY AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS FORCED SOUTH INTO
KANSAS. THE MAIN THREAT FOR PCPN WILL FOLLOW. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
THE WESTERN FORECAST AREA...MAINLY DRY CONDS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.
HIGHS TUESDAY WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 70 IN THE NORTHWEST...TO NEAR
80 IN THE SOUTHEAST.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT MON MAY 19 2014

FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...THE 12Z NAM12 AND GFS40 ARE SIMILAR WITH THE
LOCATION OF THE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
KANSAS WITH THE 0-2KM THETA-E RIDGE ALONG THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA
BORDER. THE GREATEST INSTABILITY IS FROM SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA TO NORTH
CENTRAL KANSAS. THERE IS SOME MARGINAL INSTABILITY EXTENDING INTO
THE WESTERN NEBRASKA SANDHILLS AND THE PANHANDLE AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY EVENING. THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL ENERGY IS
LESS THAN 1000J/KG...SO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE UNLIKELY.

BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...A FINGER OF THE THETA-E RIDGE EXTENDS
NORTHWESTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE ALONG AN INVERTED
SURFACE TROUGH. WITH SURFACE-BASED CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL ENERGY
(CAPE) OF 2000J/KG WEDNESDAY EVENING AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF
40-50KT...SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP IN SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA...POSSIBLY COMING ACROSS INTO THE WESTERN SANDHILLS. LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE SURFACE BASED LIFTED INDICES SPREAD INTO
CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...SO THERE IS A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS THERE AFTER 06Z

A SIMILAR SITUATION EXISTS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. WITH THE FORECAST LOCATIONS OF THE MAXIMUM CAPE NEAR THE
NEBRASKA-KANSAS AND THE NEBRASKA-COLORADO BORDERS...THE HIGHEST
PROBABILITY OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
HIGHWAY 80.

FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THE FRONT STARTS WASHING OUT. STILL WARM
ADVECTION OVER THE HIGH PLAINS BOUNDARY WILL BRING CONTINUE TO BRING
THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE
CAPES WILL NOT BE AS HIGH...THOUGH THE HIGHER CAPES WILL COVER A
LARGER PART OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEBRASKA. THE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR IS
VERY WEAK...ONLY ABOUT 20KT OR LOWER...SO HEAVY RAIN WOULD BE THE
PRIMARY THREAT. BY SUNDAY...THE MOST FAVORABLE INSTABILITY WILL
SHIFT INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 657 PM CDT MON MAY 19 2014

ISOLATED TSTMS WILL TRACK EAST INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA THIS EVENING.
COVERAGE WILL AGAIN BE ISOLATED AND WILL NOT INCLUDE IN THE TAF
FOR EITHER KVTN OR KLBF. WINDS WILL BE NORTH TO NORTHEAST THROUGH
THE NIGHT AROUND 10 TO 15 KTS. MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS...EXCEPT NEAR
ANY STORM.
