Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 325 PM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 325 PM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016 Showers and thunderstorms are already beginning to develop across western Nebraska. As the afternoon progresses, showers will become more widespread and begin to move eastward. Best chance for storms will be across the northern half of the region where plenty of moisture and instability exists. Current SPC outlook has most of central Nebraska under a marginal risk, which seems reasonable. Scattered strong to severe storms are possible especially early in the evening. As the dryline drifts back eastward through the evening and instability begins to weaken, showers will slowly decrease in strength and eventually diminish. Overnight lows will remain on the warmer side (only in the upper 60s and low 70s). Dry conditions will return for much of Sunday. The main concern on Sunday will be the rising temperatures. Hottest temperatures are forecast across the north (mainly Keya Paha and Boyd counties) with air temperatures reaching up into the upper 90s and heat indexes in the low 100s. Have issued a heat advisory for these counties from 1pm until 8pm. Another round of showers and thunderstorms are possible late Sunday, with initiation time anticipated on being after 00Z Monday. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) Issued at 325 PM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016 Sunday night, an upper trough will advance into the northern plains. This will bring southwest flow aloft to the region. Isolated storms will be possible during the evening west of a Bassett through Stockville line, then in the east overnight. Models in the west by late afternoon, with a slight chance eastward overnight. Deep layer shear (0-6km) will range from 25 to 30 kts and be supportive of a few strong storms. A low level jet will also increase by mid evening. Late sunday night, a pacific front will arrive. On Monday, highs will cool slightly to the mid 80s northwest to around 90 southeast. Much drier air will also push eastward. There remains a slight chance for thunderstorms across the east in the morning along the pacific front, then across the far southeast Monday afternoon. The front will stall monday night just southeast of the forecast area, with a 20-30 percent chance of elevated storms across the southeast zones. Dry Tuesday, then at least a chance Wednesday into Wednesday night, as the front remains near the Nebraska/Kansas border. The ECMWF appears to generate an MCS across central Nebraska into northeast Kansas with the GFS to a lesser extent. Storm chances increase Thursday and Friday with a west-northwest flow aloft and a surface front just south of the area. A similar scenario for an MCS to develop Thursday/Thursday night with chances continuing Friday into Saturday. Atmospheric moisture looks to be above average, so heavy rainfall is possible with any organized thunderstorm complex(es). Highs Tuesday through Saturday will range in the mid to upper 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 115 PM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016 For KLBF...VFR conditions continue through Sunday afternoon. A lowering of clouds can be expected late this afternoon and tonight as showers develop across the northern portion of Nebraska. Showers and thunderstorms are not expected to impact KLBF tonight. For KVTN...VFR conditions also continue through the remainder of the afternoon. Shower and thunderstorm development is expected in the early evening hours across northern Nebraska and slowly move eastward. Increased winds and lowering of both ceilings and visibilities are expected in any thunderstorm. Showers move east of the terminal by 04Z Sunday. VFR conditions return for Sunday, however, wind gusts increase up to 25 knots by midday. && .LBF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... Heat Advisory from 1 PM to 7 PM CDT Sunday for NEZ006-007. && SHORT TERM...Kulik LONG TERM...Roberg AVIATION...Kulik
