Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
345 AM CDT FRI MAY 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 345 AM CDT Fri May 13 2016

Ridge over the west and east coasts at H5. Closed low over the
Arrowhead of Minnesota with a trough into the Ohio Valley.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 345 AM CDT Fri May 13 2016

Main forecast concern will be temperatures today and tonight with
the possibility for precipitation with fropa and frost highlights.
Upper low over Northern Minnesota will retrograde today and push a
cold front through Nebraska through the day. Have kept schc pops
over north central and northwest Nebraska this morning. Will become
windy today from North Platte to O'Neill with the frontal passage.
breezy elsewhere. slight diurnal trend today with temperatures but
cold air advecting through the day. highs in the 50s north and the
60s south. Few clouds this morning with the fropa then clearing.
increasing clouds southwest and west this afternoon with upslope
conditions and front stalling out. with upper jet dynamics and
upslope flow this evening slight chance showers temperatures falling
into the low 30s from the interstate 80 corridor north to the Dakota
border by morning. have a freeze warning through the north where
skies will clear and temperatures will fall to around 30 for several
hours. This matches up well with South Dakota offices. Patchy frost
over most of the rest of western nebraska north of Interstate 80 but
cloud cover and some light precipitation possible as well as light
north winds keeping boundary layer mixed. Frost may have to be
scaled back with further temperature forecasts today and expected
extent of cloud cover. Yesterdays lows had LBF at 31 and 850mb
temperatures 5C cooler Saturday morning. Even added a mix towards
morning.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 345 AM CDT Fri May 13 2016

12z Saturday and beyond.  Cool unsettled conditions are forecast for
the majority of the extended periods with the possibility of another
round of moderate precipitation early next week.  Surface high
pressure will build over eastern Nebraska Saturday into Sunday with
return southerly flow taking hold over western portions of the cwa.
At the same time a 120kt h3 jet will push east from the western
Dakotas through the mid-Ohio states.  The right entrance region of
the jet will focus a mid-level front from northwest Nebraska
southeast through the south central portion of the state into Sunday.
Rainshowers will be the result...but qpf amounts are forecast to be
light.  At a minimum clouds will be on the increase and when
combined with the return flow from the south...overnight lows early
Sunday should be several degrees warmer.  If a frost were to
occur...northern Sheridan and Cherry Counties would be the most
likely locations.  There remains disagreement in the long range
beyond early Sunday...thus confidence is low Sunday night and
beyond.  That being said...the long range forecast centers on the
precipitation impacts from a Western Conus longwave trough and some
influence from the northern stream. The models are in general
agreement that a decent shortwave will rotate from the trough across
the Rockies...and lift northeast over the Plains Monday into
Tuesday. Decent rainfall amounts of a quarter to a half of an inch
are possible over a large area of the cwa.  The solutions advertise
little in the way of instability for deep convection...thus showers
should prevail.  The EC attempts to phase with the sw with a
northern stream wave quicker...allowing for an end of the
precipitation Tuesday.  The GFS is much slower to phase...leading to
precipitation chances through early Thursday.  With the
uncertainty...will not vary from the extended blended which suggests
at least a slight chance of qpf each day somewhere over the
Sandhills region through early Friday.  The presence of clouds and
possible qpf will keep temperatures unseasonably cool...but the
general trend is to warm several degrees each day after Monday with
max T's approaching the 70s by Thursday of next week.  Outside of a
small area of frost potential Sunday morning...guidance does not
support any areas of frost through the remainder of the extended.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1134 PM CDT Thu May 12 2016

A brief period of MVFR cigs is possible Friday morning as a cold
front moves through Nrn Nebraska. The front is currently
approaching SD. VFR is expected all areas from 18z friday through
06z friday evening.
