AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
300 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015

AT 20Z THE UPPER LEVEL SYNOPTIC FEATURES IMPACTING THE SHORT TERM
FORECAST INCLUDE A NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH TRACKING EASTWARD OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA...AND A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROUNDING THE TOP OF
SOUTHWESTERN CONUS RIDGE AND EJECTING INTO THE EASTERN ROCKIES. THE
CANADIAN TROUGH WAS PUSHING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AND INTO NORTHWEST NEBRASKA AS OF MID AFTERNOON. SO FAR MOST
CONVECTION HAS BEEN SCATTERED AND POST-FRONTAL AS THE MAIN UPPER
LEVEL FORCING LAGS BEHIND THE FRONT AND THE LOCAL ATMOSPHERE REMAINS
CAPPED TO CONVECTION DUE TO THE ADVECTION OF A WARM EML FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT HAS
BROUGHT WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
WARMEST READINGS ARE IN FAR SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA WHERE DEEPER MIXING
OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER HAS OCCURRED WITH SOME SPOTS APPROACHING
TRIPLE DIGITS. POINTS FURTHER NORTH AND EAST SIT IN THE MID 80S TO
LOW 90S BUT HAVE ELEVATED DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL DRIVE SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA AS A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AXIS ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL CANADA. WARM TEMPERATURES IN THE MID LEVEL WILL LIMIT MOST
CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS...BUT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS DEEP LAYER ASCENT INCREASES. CAMS HAVE BEEN
CONSISTENT TODAY WITH ADVERTISING THE MOST WIDESPREAD CONVECTION
OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...GENERALLY NORTH OF HWY 2.
FURTHER SOUTH MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED...PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY THE SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY MOVING INTO
NORTHERN COLORADO. STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVERSPREADING THE TOP
OF A THETA-E RICH BOUNDARY LAYER HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO HIGH CAPE
VALUES. BEST CHANCE FOR A COUPLE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS WILL LIKELY RESIDE IN NORTHERN NEBRASKA WHERE DEEP LAYER SHEAR
PROFILES ARE MORE FAVORABLE...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM BACK
INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA CANNOT BE RULED OUT. SEVERE THREAT SHIFTS
NORTH AND EAST OF THE CWA TONIGHT AS THE NOSE OF STRENGTHENING LLJ
WILL LIKELY SEND AN MCS THROUGH EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A THREAT THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT. CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IN
THE POST-FRONTAL REGIME AS THE NORTHERN PLAINS SITS IN THE DIVERGENT
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK ROUNDING
THE BASE OF THE CANADIAN LOW. LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE LAST
24 TO 36 HOURS HAS ALLOWED FOR THE POLEWARD FLUX OF RICH GULF
MOISTURE. AN ADDITIONAL SURGE OF MID TO UPPER LEVEL PACIFIC
MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL ARRIVE AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES OUT OF
NORTHERN COLORADO AND INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. THIS MOISTURE
PLUME IS EVIDENT BY A LARGE CLOUD SHIELD AND ANOMALOUS HIGH
DEWPOINTS/PWATS OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST THIS AFTERNOON. ALL
MODEL GUIDANCE HAS SHOWN THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
ACROSS NEAR THE SD/NEBRASKA BORDER.

SYNOPTIC SCALE SUBSIDENCE OVERSPREADS THE CWA LATE TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW KICKS EAST...WHICH WILL BRING
A GRADUAL END TO PRECIPITATION. MUCH COOLER AND DRIER CANADIAN AIR
SPILLS INTO THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS WITH COMFORTABLE HIGHS
ONLY IN THE 70S EXPECTED. STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES BENEATH COOL
AIR ALOFT WILL PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHALLOW CUMULUS CLOUDS AND
MAYBE EVEN A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT
CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE ANY MENTION OF
POPS IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...COOL PACIFIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL
REMAIN OVER THE FCST AREA. WINDS BECOME SOUTHEAST TUESDAY MORNING
AND BEGIN RETURNING MOISTURE ONTO THE CNTL HIGH PLAINS. THE WRN U.S.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE VANISHES TO BE REPLACED BY A RIDGE OFF THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC WHICH WILL MIGRATE WEST. THIS ALLOWS AN UPPER LOW OFF THE
CALIFORNIA COAST TO FEED UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE SHOULD BE MOVING THRU ERN WY TUESDAY.
THIS DISTURBANCE COULD PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS WRN NEB TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS WAVE WILL LIKE LIFT NORTHEAST
WEDNESDAY. A SECOND DISTURBANCE WILL THEN MOVE OFF OF THE COLORADO
FRONT RANGE WEDNESDAY SUSTAINING SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY AND ALLOWING IT TO ADVANCE EAST A BIT BUT STILL FAVORING
NRN AND WRN NEB.

HIGHS IN THE 70S ARE EXPECTED BOTH DAYS WITH LOWS IN THE 50S. DEW
POINTS REMAIN IN THE 50S.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE MIGRATING
WEST THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH AND UPPER LOW OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST
SPELL TROUBLE FOR THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST. THE UPPER LOW MOVES
ASHORE AND SENDS HOT DESERT AIR INTO THE CNTL PLAINS BEGINNING AS
EARLY AS FRIDAY. THE GEF...GFS AND GEM MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE
WESTWARD MOTION OF THE ATLANTIC RIDGE. THIS HAS NO REAL BEARING ON
THE FORECAST OTHER THAN TO KEEPS HEIGHTS LOW. THE ECM IS VERY FAST
BUILDING THE RIDGE INTO THE FOUR CORNERS BY SUNDAY.

A DRY LINE SHOULD FORM AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS UP AND DOWN THE CNTL
AND NRN HIGH PLAINS. THE DESERT AIR APPEARS TO PLACE THE DRY LINE
EAST OF HIGHWAY 83. THE GEF MODEL WOULD APPEAR TO KEEP THE DRY LINE
WEST OF 83. DISTURBANCES SHOULD COME OFF THE FRONT RANGE THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY PRODUCING SOME CHANCE OF RAIN. THEREAFTER...RAIN CHANCES
DIMINISH AS TEMPERATURES AT H700MB RISE INTO THE TEENS FRIDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S AND 90S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1230 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE IS THE PASSAGE
OF A STRONG COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND THE
IMPACTS IT WILL HAVE ON LOCAL AVIATION CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ALONG AND
BEHIND THE FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO NORTHERN NEBRASKA BY LATE
AFTERNOON...CAPABLE OF STRONG WINDS...HAIL...AND HEAVY RAIN.
CONFIDENCE IN THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY DECREASES TO THE
SOUTH...ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL SWITCH TO OUT OF THE NORTH AND BE
GUSTY AT TIMES. EXPECTING MOST TSRA ACTIVITY TO PUSH OFF TO THE
EAST BY MONDAY MORNING...HOWEVER OVC MVFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
