Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE 1222 AM CDT SAT JUN 18 2016 .SHORT TERM...(tonight through Monday) Issued at 319 PM CDT Fri Jun 17 2016 Heat and humidity are making for rather sultry condition across the CWA this afternoon. Surface obs were showing dew point temps in the low/mid 70s extending along an inverted surface trof from eastern Kansas into eastern South Dakota. Late afternoon/Tonight...HIRES models indicate convection blooming later this afternoon along axis of boundary layer moisture convergence/theta-e advection...and steep mid-level lapse rates. CU already showing up on satellite...corresponding with anticipated thunder. At this point...per the latest RAP13...combination of extreme instability/effective shear/moisture rich environmental for potential severe storms are focused over central/eastern South Dakota. However...cannot discount a few severe storms and generous precipitation over the northern CWA mainly before midnight. Dry and hot conditions continue then Saturday and Sunday before the next round of precipitation Sunday evening. Both ECM/GFS prog a surface cold front associated with a potent vort max along the U.S./Can border...dashing through the Dakotas toward the central plains. Once again...given that a moisture rich environment will be in place...the potential for generous rainfall over portions of the CWA are quite favorable given both the ECM/GFS slow down brunt of frontogenetic forcing through late Monday night. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Friday) Issued at 319 PM CDT Fri Jun 17 2016 More agreeable conditions are progged through the extended periods thanks to relatively cool surface high pressure enveloping the central plains with high temps generally in the mid 80s to around 90 Tuesday through Thursday. Dry as well heading into next weekend. && .AVIATION...(06Z TAFS for KOMA...KLNK...KOFK through 06Z Sunday) Issued at 1220 AM CDT Sat Jun 18 2016 An area of TSRA has shifted south of KOFK, but will likely impact the KOMA/KLNK sites through about 10Z with gusty winds and MVFR CIGS and VISBY in the TSRA.
