AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
635 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 619 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO BUBBLE UP IN HIGH INSTABILITY
ENVIRONMENT ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA AND WESTERN IOWA. MLCAPE
VALUES REMAIN NEAR 3000 J/KG AT LATE AFTERNOON...HOWEVER SHEAR IS
RELATIVELY WEAK. THUS PULSE-TYPE STORMS ARE GETTING STRONG
INITIALLY BEFORE SETTLING DOWN WITH RAIN FALLING THROUGH UPDRAFTS.
THESE WILL MAINLY BE HAILERS...AND WE HAVE HAD A FEW REPORTS OF 1
INCH HAIL FROM TIME TO TIME. A COUPLE OF STORMS WEST OF THE OMAHA
METRO WILL LIKELY DRIFT EAST...AND COULD AFFECT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 240 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014

THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE/CHANCES REMAIN PRIMARY CONCERN IN SHORT TERM
AS ACTIVE JUNE PATTERN GENERALLY PERSISTS INTO MONDAY.

AFTERNOON SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED A CLOSED UPPER LOW PIVOTING
ACROSS SRN SASK CANADA WITH A LOBE EXTENDING SWD ALONG ND/MN
BORDER AT 19Z. THIS LOBE HAS SENT A WEAK BOUNDARY INTO NRN
NEBR...PRIMARILY A DEWPOINT FRONT WITH AROUND 70 DEG SFC DWPTS
FEEDING INTO IT ACROSS NWRN ZONES WITH UPPER 40S JUST TO OUR
NW. ALTHOUGH EARLIER CONVECTION DISPTD...CONTINUED UPSCALE
DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY EVENING AS SPC MESO PAGE
SUGGESTED LITTLE/NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION WITH 3.5K+ J/KG MLCAPE
SOUTH OF BOUNDARY. WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR GENERALLY ON LIGHTER
SIDE...AROUND OR BELOW 30KTS...AFTER INITIAL SVR DEVELOPMENT WITH
HEATING DRIVEN INSTABILITY RELEASE...FEEL BULK OF ACTIVITY COULD
TRANSITION MORE TOWARD A HEAVY RAIN ISSUE AS H85 JET REMAINS
FOCUSED INTO NERN ZONES. UPPED POPS AND QPF ALTHOUGH WENT CLOSER
TO ECMWF QPF AS H85 JET ONLY MODEST AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT LATER
TONIGHT APPEARED TO FOCUS SE OF WHERE BULK OF PRECIP MAY EXIST.

MODEL INDICATIONS ARE THAT PRECIP COULD LINGER SATURDAY MORNING
ACROSS MAINLY WRN IA ZONES...AND POSSIBLY EXTREME NERN
NEBR...BUT BULK OF AREA MUCH OF THE DAY COULD BE DRY. CONTINUED
THIS TREND FROM PRIOR FORECAST BUT RAISED MAX TEMPS...ESPECIALLY
SW...AS AREA SHOULD RECOVER EARLIEST FROM ANY MORNING CLOUDS/ISOLD
TSTMS. LATER IN THE DAY THE FA REMAINS ON SOUTH SIDE OF FASTER
UPPER FLOW WITH FILLING SRN CANADA TROUGH PROVIDES AREA WITH SOME
UPPER DIVERGENCE. HOWEVER...LESS SFC CONVERGENCE WAS NOTED ALONG
A WEAKENED SFC BOUNDARY AND THUS DEVELOPMENT COULD WAIT UNTIL
ANOTHER LOBE ROTATING AROUND UPPER LOW SENDS A STRONGER BOUNDARY
INTO NWRN ZONES LATER SAT NIGHT.

THIS BOUNDARY THEN WEAKENS OR SLOWS AS IT PUSHES INTO FORECAST
SUNDAY...PROBABLY ENOUGH TO WARRANT INCREASING HIGHS SERN ZONES.
MODELS REMAIN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN SLOWLY SAGGING THE BOUNDARY
ACROSS ZONES SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT AS A STRONGER PIECE OF ENERGY
EJECTS FROM ROCKIES...THUS MODESTLY HIGH POPS WERE MAINTAINED.
THESE HIGH POPS WERE ALSO MAINTAINED FOR MONDAY PERIOD SERN ZONES
DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES IN HOW FAST THIS ENERGY SHIFTS EAST OF THE
FA. COULD SEE SOME REDUCTIONS IN LATER FORECASTS IF FASTER NAM
WOULD VERIFY. COOL ADVECTION/CLOUDS/LINGERING PRECIP ALL INDICATE
COOLER TEMPS SHOULD PREVAIL ON MONDAY.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 240 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014

12Z GFS/ECMWF SUPPORT A DRY FORECAST MONDAY NGT/TUESDAY MUCH OF
THE FA AS NW FLOW SPREADS OVER THE AREA BEHIND DEPARTING TROUGH.
HOWEVER...TRAILING ENERGY WILL HOLD UP BOUNDARY LATE TUE NIGHT AND
THEN BUILDING UPPER RIDGE WILL LIKELY LIFT IT BACK NORTH. ALTHOUGH
THIS BUILDING RIDGE COULD EVENTUALLY SHUT DOWN OR GREATLY REDUCE
PRECIP THREAT A PERIOD OR TWO...RETURNING BOUNDARY/MOISTURE/INSTABILITY
WILL BRING A RENEWED THREAT IN TUE NGT THROUGH WED NIGHT PERIODS
AND NEXT TROUGH APPROACHING LATE NEXT WEEK WITH LOBES POTENTIALLY
EJECTING OUT PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. THUS SMALL POPS WILL
BLANKET EXTENDED AND WILL ALLOW LATER FORECASTS TO BETTER FINE-
TUNE PARTICULAR PERIODS AS DAYS GET CLOSER.

ISSUED AT 619 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT...AND COULD AFFECT THE KLNK AND KOMA
