AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
1140 PM CDT SAT MAY 31 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 PM CDT SAT MAY 31 2014

A FAIRLY QUIET NIGHT IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA...THE EXCEPTION WILL BE ACROSS NORTHWEST AND
EVENTUALLY NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...WHERE A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS
COULD SURVIVE OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS IT MOVES EAST INTO A
FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL JET/MOIST ADVECTION AREA. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS
NOT HIGH ON THIS OCCURRING HOWEVER...AS NO REAL DEFINED SHORTWAVE
EVIDENT TONIGHT TO HELP MAINTAIN CONVECTION. SO POPS WILL BE
MAINTAINED IN THE LOW CHANCE CATEGORY /30 PERCENT/. OTHERWISE
CONTINUED WARM/MOIST ADVECTION WILL KEEP LOWS MOSTLY IN THE
60S...WITH A FEW UPPER 50S ACROSS THE PANHANDLE.

MODELS SEEM TO BECOMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT SUNDAY. HIGH RES MODELS AGREE THAT SFC LOW PRESSURE
WILL BE IN AN ELONGATED FASHION FROM SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA TO
EASTERN COLORADO AROUND SUNRISE. SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS TO
THE EAST OF THIS AREA WILL CONTINUE TO DRAW RICH GULF MOISTURE INTO
THE AREA. BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON TWO SEPARATE SFC LOWS
SHOULD BECOME BETTER DEFINED...ONE NEAR PINE RIDGE SOUTH DAKOTA AND
THE OTHER WEST OF GOODLAND KANSAS. BOTH LOWS WILL HAVE AN INFLUENCE
ON THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ACROSS OUR AREA. THE PINE RIDGE LOW
WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA ...WITH A COLD FRONT
PIVOTING SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST NEBRASKA BY MID AFTERNOON.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY FORM ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...WITH SHEAR AND
INSTABILITY SUPPORTING SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS. OTHER STORMS /SUPERCELLS/ ARE LIKELY TO THE NORTH AND
NORTHEAST OF THE GOODLAND SURFACE LOW ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA.
HERE SURFACE WINDS WILL BE BACKED TO THE SOUTHEAST...AND A FEW
TORNADOES SEEM POSSIBLE IN ADDITION TO THE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WIND THREAT. ALL THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD EVOLVE INTO A FORWARD
PROPAGATING MCC BY EVENING...WITH HEAVY RAIN LIKELY FOR AREAS OF
CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
EAST.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 PM CDT SAT MAY 31 2014

THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE SUNDAY EVENING THEN
AGAIN TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.

THE EXPECTED MCS DEVELOPMENT WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NEBRASKA SUNDAY EVENING. THE EXACT LOCATION DIFFERS BY
MODEL...AND KEPT LIKELY POPS GOING EAST OF STOCKVILLE THROUGH
BREWSTER AND BASSETT. AREAS EAST OF THIS LINE ARE MOST LIKELY TO
EXPERIENCE HEAVY RAINFALL WITH A CONTINUED THREAT FOR ISOLATED
LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE. ANY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WEST WILL END
EARLY EVENING...AS STORM CHANCES END IN THE EAST BY 06Z.

THE BALANCE OF MONDAY LOOKS DRY WITH SOME STORMS DEVELOPING IN THE
HIGHER TERRAIN TO OUR WEST. BEHIND A WEAK COLD FRONT...SKIES TO BE
MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS UPPER 70S/LOW 80S. DEWPOINTS ACTUALLY FCST
TO SLIP INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S.

A WARM FRONT IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE NEBRASKA AND KANSAS
BORDER MONDAY NIGHT. AS AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO UTAH AND WRN
WY...AN ELEVATED WARM FRONT AT H7 WILL LIFT NORTHEAST TRIGGERING
A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS FROM THE WESTERN SANDHILLS INTO SWRN NEBR. AS
UPPER TROUGH FLATTENS OUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
TUESDAY...HEIGHT FALLS ALOFT WILL BRING STEEP LAPSE RATES ALONG
WITH MUCAPES OF 1500 TO 2500 J/KG. CONCERNING WILL BE STRONG DEEP
LAYER SHEAR OF 50 TO 70 KTS ACROSS THE SERN FA TO SUPPORT SEVERE
STORMS. AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 IN CLOSER PROXIMITY
TO THE WARM FRONT COULD SEE THE MOST INTENSE STORMS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. WITH AVAILABLE PWAT VALUES OF 1-1.25
INCHES...HEAVY RAINFALL APPEAR INCREASINGLY LIKELY. HAVE LIKELY
POPS MOST AREAS TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT..DUE TO CONTINUED MODEL
AGREEMENT.

FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THERE WILL BE ABOUT A 20 TO 40
PERCENT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS A WESTERN CONUS
TROUGH BRINGS ZONAL FLOW TO THE CENTRAL CONUS. GENERALLY SEASONAL
TEMPS EXPECTED FROM MID 70S TO LOWER 80S.  LOWS IN THE MID 50S TO
UPPER 50S.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1142 PM CDT SAT MAY 31 2014

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES SUNDAY. AS THIS FEATURE APPROACHES
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ON SUNDAY. HOWEVER...OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT...THERE CONTINUES TO BE A SMALL THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA. STORMS MAY IMPACT THE KVTN TERMINAL
