Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service North Platte NE 711 PM CDT SUN JUL 10 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 709 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 Temperatures will begin to cool shortly with the lower sun angle and cirrus overhead. The heat advisory has been allowed to expire. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 333 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 Warm and humid conditions continue through the early evening hours. Temperatures are expected to top out in the upper 90s to low 100s before nightfall. These warm temperatures combined with dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s across the eastern half of the CWA will allow for heat indexes to range between 100 and 105 degrees. A heat advisory remains in effect until 7PM for counties mainly east of Valentine to Brady line. In addition to warm temperatures and dangerous heat indexes, thunderstorms are also possible late this evening. While thunderstorms could be strong, they are expected to be brief and very isolated. Severe storms are not anticipated for much of the CWA with only a brief severe storm possible in northern Cherry county before it moves northward into South Dakota. Storms end between 06-08Z Monday. Overnight low temperatures remain warm and muggy (upper 60s to low 70s across the region). Dry conditions return for Monday. Slightly cooler temperatures return as well, however, highs will still reach up into the upper 80s to low 90s by afternoon. Another chance of showers and thunderstorms are possible early Monday evening, however, confidence is low in these storms pushing westward back into central Nebraska. Will keep only a slight chance of precipitation across mainly Frontier county, southeastern Custer county, and Wheeler county between 5pm and 7pm. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 333 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 Monday night, although the surface front will push well southeast of the area, a slight chance for elevated showers or storms across the far southeast zones as the upper trough passes through. Dry Tuesday, then at least a slight Wednesday, as a northern stream trough crosses the Northern Plains. Storm chances increase Thursday and Friday with a west-northwest flow aloft and a surface front slowly meandering north and south across the region. The for an MCS to develop Thursday/Thursday night and again Friday/Friday night. A slight chance Saturday and Sunday for some areas as upper height rises build over the region. Atmospheric moisture looks to be above average Thursday and Friday, so heavy rainfall is possible with any organized thunderstorm complex(es). Highs Tuesday through Saturday will range in the mid to upper 80s, then heating back up into the lower to mid 90s Sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 616 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 A strong cap is forecast to remain in place overnight and this could prevent anything more than isolated thunderstorm coverage tonight.
