AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
325 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014

UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH THE FCST AREA
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE WPC QPF FORECASTS 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN
ACROSS THE FCST AREA THROUGH MONDAY MORNING AND THIS APPEARS TO BE
IN LINE WITH THE MODEL CONSENSUS. THE SYSTEM SUNDAY WILL BE SLOW
MOVING AND UNSEASONABLY COOL AIR WILL BE IN PLACE HEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM.

NEXT WEEK...LOW PRESSURE FORMS ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS AND SRN CANADA
WITH WARMER AND MORE MOIST AIR RETURNING NORTH. TODAY BOTH THE GFS
AND ECM SHOW A NEARLY DRY FORECAST TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014

THUNDERSTORMS WERE ONGOING THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE BACK EDGE OF
THE STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG A STATIONARY FRONT LOCATED ROUGHLY FROM
KBFF TO KICR. THIS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER WYOMING AND COLORADO MOVES
EAST INTO THE PLAINS. THIS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH THE
FRONT THROUGH NEBRASKA AS A COLD FRONT TONIGHT...WHICH WILL PUSH THE
STORMS EASTWARD AS WELL. UNTIL THEN...EXPECT STORMS TO BE STRONG TO
SEVERE AS DECENT MOISTURE TRANSPORT PUSHES INTO THE BOUNDARY AND
WITH SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES UP TO 2500 ACROSS THE AREA THERE IS
SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY TO KEEP THE EXPLOSIVE NATURE OF THE STORMS
GOING DESPITE A LACK OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR.

BEHIND THE FRONT...COLDER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE FORECAST AREA WITH
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. WITH THE COOLER AIR MOVING IN /850MB
TEMPERATURES DOWN TO 8C/ ALONG WITH STRATUS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...LOOKING FOR MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR
SATURDAY WITH HIGHS TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 50S TO UPPER 60S. THERE
IS SOME LIFT OVER THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA BEHIND THE
FRONT TONIGHT SO KEPT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL
WANE ON SATURDAY AS THIS SYSTEM EXITS AND UPPER LEVEL ENERGY IS
PUSHED INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THE MODELS CONTINUE ON A RAMPAGE
WITH THE SUNDAY STORM SYSTEM DROPPING THROUGH THE NRN PLAINS AND
ACROSS NRN NEB. THIS SYSTEM WILL TAP GOOD MIDLEVEL MOISTURE AND
PRODUCE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL. COLD AIR ALOFT WILL SUPPORT
LIFTED INDICES IN THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO. THIS SUGGESTS
ISOLATED TSTM AND THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK ALONG THE SD-NEB BORDER
SUGGESTED A MORE CONVECTIVE-LIKE RAIN SHIELD ACROSS THE FCST AREA.
THE MODEL CONSENSUS IS A TAD SLOWER TO ENTER AND EXIT THE FCST AREA
SO RAIN CHANCES BEGIN SUNDAY MORNING AFTER 12Z IN IN THE WEST AND
END EARLY MONDAY AFTN IN THE EAST.

THE STORM SYSTEM WILL BE OPERATING ON UNSEASONABLY COOL HIGH
PRESSURE DRAWN DOWN FROM CANADA BY A DEEP ACROSS NRN MANITOBA. HIGHS
SUNDAY MONDAY WILL LIKELY REMAIN AND THE 60S TO LOWER 70S WITH
SUNDAY THE COOLER DAY.

SKIES SHOULD BE CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY
WITH A MORE MILD PACIFIC HIGH BUILDING IN.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...ELONGATED LOW PRESSURE FORMS ACROSS
MANITOBA...WRN ONTARIO AND THE NRN HIGH PLAINS. THIS BUILDS A THERMAL
RIDGE ACROSS THE WRN HIGH PLAINS BUT NOT MUCH FARTHER EAST. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WOULD BE WEDNESDAY WHEN A COLD
FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE FCST AREA HOWEVER THE MODELS ERASE
THE DEVELOPING THERMAL RIDGE AHEAD OF THE FRONT WEDNESDAY MORNING
AND ANOTHER COOL CANADIAN HIGH BUILDS INTO THE FCST AREA BY THURSDAY
MORNING. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FORMS FRIDAY ON THE HIGH PLAINS
AND THIS WILL ONCE AGAIN LIMIT THERMAL RIDGING TO THE HIGH PLAINS
WEST OF THE FCST AREA. THUS NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND THIS...AS SUGGESTED BY THE
MODELS...WOULD LIMIT RAIN CHANCES TO MAINLY ISOLATED STORMS WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 104 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE MOST WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY FROM ACROSS THE
PANHANDLE AND INTO THE WESTERN SANDHILLS. THESE STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH MID AFTERNOON BEFORE A MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH STORMS EAST AND INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
SO EXPECTING THUNDERSTORMS TO IMPACT BOTH THE KVTN AND KLBF
TERMINALS OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. THEN TONIGHT A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE ACROSS NEBRASKA WITH AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS
THE REGION. EXPECTING STRATUS TO FILL IN...WITH IFR CEILINGS
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST MID MORNING SATURDAY BEFORE STARTING
TO IMPROVE BY LATE MORNING.

&&
