Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service North Platte NE
621 PM CDT MON AUG 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 342 PM CDT Mon Aug 15 2016

H5 analysis this morning had a trough of low pressure
extending from Kansas south into west Texas. West of this feature,
an low amplitude ridge of high pressure was present across the four
corners with a trough noted over northern California. North of the
south central CONUS trough, a nice shortwave was located over
Eastern South Dakota. Thunderstorms in association with this feature
had weakened and dissipated this morning over Minnesota. Further
north, across Canada and Alaska, low pressure was noted in the gulf
of Alaska while a low amplitude ridge was present from southern
British Columbia into southeastern portions of the Northwest
Territories of Canada. At the surface: Low pressure was noted over
western North Dakota with a second low over southeastern Colorado. A
trough of low pressure extended between these two features and ran
roughly from Pierre South Dakota, to Valentine Nebraska, to
Ogallala,to Lamar Colorado. East Winds were from the south, east of
the trough while winds were northerly west of this feature. Dew
points across western and north central Nebraska had fallen into the
40s in southwestern Nebraska, to around 60 in central and north
central Nebraska. As of 3 PM CDT, temperatures ranged from 81 at
Ainsworth to 93 at Imperial.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 342 PM CDT Mon Aug 15 2016

Weak trough moving across the CWA this afternoon. A CU field is
starting to develop along the trough across N central which is
expected to continue to expand into the evening hours. A broken line
of thunderstorms is expected. Low level shear is marginal, around 30
kts and modest CAPE of 2K-3K j/kg. SPC mesoanalysis highlights a
small window for the possibility for landspout tornadoes. Something
to watch for through sunset. Locally brief heavy rainfall is
possible as PWATS of 1.25 to 1.50 exist. Meanwhile a second area of
concern is in association with a disturbance crossing the Rockies.
Storms already going across eastern Wyoming and this activity should
drift east. The environment is not as favorable as you get off the
higher terrain although storms could linger into the late evening
hours reaching the western sandhills. The warm air remains in place
with a mild night in the mid 50s to lower 60s expected. Tomorrow
another warm August day with highs generally in the lower 90s. The
trough will push a little further southeast and stall from western
Kansas into S central Nebraska. Far southeastern zones could see
some CU/storm develop during the late afternoon hours although
confidence is low at this time.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 342 PM CDT Mon Aug 15 2016

Mid term...Tuesday night through Thursday: In the mid range,
temperatures, along with a small threat for precipitation Tuesday
Night and possibly Wednesday night are the main forecast concerns.
For Tuesday Night: Inherited forecast had a slight chance mention
of pops for the entire forecast area Tuesday evening. Looking at
the latest NAM and GFS solutions, there is a small threat for pcpn
in a couple of areas-the first is along a surface trough which
will be anchored in the southeastern CWA, and a second threat
which extends west along the Interstate 80 corridor as well as
Highway 26 from North Platte, west to Oshkosh and Chappell. The
second area is along a stalled out frontal boundary. This feature
is expected to begin to lift north on Wednesday as a warm front.
Support aloft remains very weak on Tuesday evening and low level
moisture availability is doubtful ATTM as the GFS and NAM solns
are divergent on their low level moisture forecasts. With low
confidence in the near range solns, will opt for slight chance
pops. For Wednesday into Wednesday night. A warm front will begin
to lift north Wednesday a nice tongue of warm air pushes into
western and north central Nebraska. Highs will rebound back into
the 90s behind the front. Generally favored the NAM solution for
frontal timing, which is more in line with the latest EC forecast.
The GFS solution was lagging 6 to 12 hours slower than the NAM
soln. Both models do develop some pcpn along the warm front in
northern Nebraska Weds. Afternoon (NAM) solution, or Weds. Evening
(GFS) solution. With the decent timing differences noted between
the models, will plan on leaving the period dry attm. However,
pops may need to be added to the forecast if model timing
improves. On Thursday, a strong, cold front will approach from the
northwest, and will enter the far northwestern CWA by mid
afternoon Thursday. Convection will light up INVOF the front
Thursday night into Friday with the best chances Thursday night.
ATTM, CAPE and shear out ahead of the front is fairly meager
Thursday night, so the severe threat appears limited.

Long term, Thursday night through Monday: Much colder air will
push in behind the front for Friday night into Saturday with
drying conds expected Saturday. For Saturday night, the forecast
initialized with slight chance pops across the board. Based on the
degree of subsidence indicated by the EC and GFS solns this
morning, took out pops after coordinating with the surrounding
offices. For the remainder of the forecast, left the init. pop
grids alone as the GFS and ECMWF solns begin to diverge somewhat
Sunday into Monday. The ECMWF remains dry during the remainder of
the extended, however, the GFS drops another northern stream
trough into the Dakotas and Nebraska Sunday night into Monday.
Temperatures will rebound from the mid 70s on Saturday, to the
upper 70s to lower 80s Sunday into Monday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 621 PM CDT Mon Aug 15 2016

Isolated to scattered thunderstorm coverage is expected this
evening along a stalled front located from KTIF to KONL. Storm
motion will be southeast. Storm activity may last past 06z tonight but
should decrease by 12z Tuesday.

An upper level disturbance is moving through the Rockies and
producing scattered thunderstorms. This storm activity could
affect Western Neb this evening and then dissipate. Storm coverage
is expected to remain isolated across Western Nebraska.

No thunderstorm activity is expected after 12z Tuesday.
