Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 5:25 PM MDT, 2 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 625 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 329 PM CDT Sun Jun 26 2016 A cold front will back southwest into extreme northern Nebraska this evening then further west to the high plains this week to be the focus for thunderstorm development. Temperatures will be closer to seasonal norms for the upcoming week. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 329 PM CDT Sun Jun 26 2016 Forecast challenge is pops. This evening good instability exists where visible satellite show cumulus forming. Not much for vertical development currently but sufficient cape and with the heating an isolated thunderstorms in the eastern Panhandle and southwest is possible through this evening. Boundary layer moisture is limited where thunderstorms that do form will be high based with a few storms expected to develop and a severe threat for damaging winds through sunset. Additional thunderstorms are possible tonight across the north. The cold front moving through South Dakota's will move into far northern Nebraska this evening. The front will be the focus for general, isolated to scattered thunderstorm development overnight across the north in areas generally along and north of Highway 20. Thunderstorms that do form will also be high based and capable of producing strong winds. Lows tonight will range from the upper 50s in the far northwest to middle 60s southeast. Monday as the front moves south easterly winds return moisture where there will be a better chance for rain as thunderstorms redevelop and move southeast. There is a slight risk for severe thunderstorms generally into areas west of Highway 83. Temperatures will be more seasonable with high temperatures into the 80s. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 329 PM CDT Sun Jun 26 2016 Beginning 00z Tuesday. Active northwest flow will direct a series of disturbances across the Sandhills region of Nebraska and work in conjunction with favorable shear...unstable conditions and sufficient lower tropospheric moisture to promote near daily chances of thundershowers through much of the extend. The periods of highest pops are tied when the models have decent agreement of convective systems passing through the forecast area. At least initially...the greatest chances of widespread qpf comes Tuesday evening and early Wednesday. Monday evening a severe threat remains across sw Nebraska and portions of the southeastern Panhandle as storms form across the high plains and drift southeast into the forecast area where the best instability and shear parameters line up. Timing on the convection is questionable...thus will maintain at least a slight chance mention into Tuesday across our south. Tuesday afternoon/evening has the potential to see widespread convection as the models continue to depict a solution where solid moisture combines with a moderately unstable atmosphere and more than ample deep shear /50kts/ to promote storm development. The initial development is expected within the Black Hills region where supercells are possible...but in time the environment will favor a transition to a more linear system /cool pool driven/ as it dives southeast into the Sandhills region. The development of a low level jet is shown to help maintain the convective system further into the overnight. Large hail and gusty winds would accompany the convective complex. The latest day 3 SPC severe thunderstorm outlook has mich of our western cwa highlighted in a slight risk. For Wednesday and beyond...the northwest flow will continue to direct additional disturbances across the region and with good low level tropospheric moisture in place...additional chances of storms will be possible. The thunderstorms will be diurnally driven with most of the activity impacting the CWA during the afternoon through overnight time period...but due to timing differences in the models...we cannot rule out some convection lingering well into the morning/day hours. Outside of smoothing the convective blobs...there was little change to the extended blended procedure. Temperatures through the extended are forecast to be near seasonal...but if clouds remain in the wake of a convective system...highs would be impacted. Highs in the 80s are largely forecast with lows in the 50-60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 625 PM CDT Sun Jun 26 2016 An enhanced potential for showers and thunderstorms late this evening into Monday at kvtn and on monday at klbf. A weak cold front will sag south late tonight and move into southwest nebraska monday afternoon. Mainly vfr conditions except near thundertstorms. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 329 PM CDT Sun Jun 26 2016 High flow remain on the North Platte River at Lewellen. There will be minor flunctuation where additional rainfall this week will require attention as the gage is forecast to be within two tenths of the flood stage of 7.5 feet. && .LBF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... None. && SYNOPSIS...Keck SHORT TERM...Keck LONG TERM...Jacobs AVIATION...Roberg HYDROLOGY...Keck
