Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
640 PM CDT FRI JUN 24 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 322 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2016

H5 analysis from this morning had a closed low over central
Washington...with low amplitude ridging over the central and
northern plains.  A low amplitude trough encompassed much of New
England and eastern Canada.  Weak shortwaves are noted east of the
forecast area near the Missouri Valley...atop the northern periphery
of the northern plains ridge and one nearing central Colorado.  A
couple storms are beginning to develop over the front range and
south central Colorado Rockies...but otherwise very little activity
is noted.  At the surface a trough lies just east of the Rockies
with a warm front extending southeast from low pressure in the
western Dakotas through eastern Nebraska.  A cold front from the low
extends southwest across west central Wyoming into far northwest
SDak. Temperatures as of 2pm CDT range from the mid 80s at KONL...to
100F at KCDR.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 322 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2016

It will be hot and humid ahead of an approaching trough moving off
the front range. Thunderstorms will initiate under the trough and
eventually work their way east this evening. Some of the storms
could have strong winds and some hail due to some decent
instability, especially at the mid levels that will be tapped once
we reach peak heating and dynamic support from the trough arrives.
Bulk shear looks weak however the low level jet kicking in should
help sustain the storms into the night time hours. Multicell
clusters look to be the most likely thunderstorm mode, especially by
the time the storms arrive into the eastern panhandle this evening,
and into central Nebraska tonight.

A dry cold front will move through from northwest to southeast very
early in the morning on Saturday, ushering in cooler temperatures,
in the 80s, and a rain free day for most. There could be a few
showers early over eastern portions of the forecast area but
redevlopment of showers or storms in the afternoon is not expected.
Northwest winds will be breezy behind the front with widespread
gusts over 20 mph common.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 322 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2016

Beginning 00z Sunday.  The cold front will be east of the forecast
area to start off the extended with the showers and storms east
along the front.  Thus a dry forecast is anticipated into Sunday
evening.  Cooler Canadian high pressure will settle overhead Sunday
morning leading to lows mainly in the 50s...but a few upper 40s will
be possible over northwest Nebraska.  Isolated or scattered storms
will be possible Sunday evening across western portions of the cwa
as a disturbance lifts through the region.  The EC and Nam continues
to highlight the qpf chances...with the GFS now latching onto a
similar solution.  Will expand the coverage of chances to much of
the forecast area overnight with the development of a LLJ.  The
possibility of additional showers/storms will last into Monday as
the upper level pattern transitions from a westerly to northwesterly
component and additional disturbances pass through.  Convective
parameters only indicate a marginal threat of a strong or severe
storm with the better instability arriving to our south on Monday.

Beyond Monday the work week will remain active as the prevailing
northwest flow directs several disturbances through the region.  The
best shot at widespread qpf arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday
when a nocturnal LLJ develops and a strong disturbance dives
southeast through the region.  Will maintain high end chance and low
end likely pops given by the blended procedure during that time
period.

Clouds would potentially play spoiler role for temperatures through
the work week...but at this point...seasonal to slightly above
average temperatures can be expected through the extended as most
days will see more sun than clouds.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 640 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2016

Vfr conditions forecast at the klbf and kvtn terminals the next 24
hrs. While there will be at least a slight chance for thunderstorms
tonight...latest models keep storm activity across the western
northwest sandhills and away for both terminals. A cold front will
move through kvtn and klbf after 14z saturday with gusty nw to ne
winds up to 24 kts.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 322 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2016

No snow remains below 10kft in the North and South Platte regions
and runoff season has effectively ended. The North Platte River at
North Platte and Lewellen have fallen below flood stage as releases
from Lake McConaughy continue to decrease. It is expected to remain
within action stage through at least early next week.
