Severe Thunderstorm Warning 107, NWS Hastings, NE

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hastings NE
640 PM CDT Fri Jun 16 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 257 PM CDT Fri Jun 16 2017

Plenty of instability with dewpoints in the mid 60s across the
local area this afternoon. As the CAP now has mostly eroded...we
are starting to see some convective development across the
northwestern portions of the area. Models are indicating most of
this line will try to dissipate over the next hour or two...with
the focus shifting northeast...but given the atmospheric
profile...remain a bit uncertain on how things will actually
evolve. For the time being...will maintain the chance for
thunderstorms spreading from west to east from the late afternoon
through early evening hours...with the potential for some of these
storms to reach severe limits. Given the instability and shear
values in model soundings...if severe storms do initiate... expect
golf ball sized hail and strong wind gusts to be the main
concerns. This activity should be fairly progressive...and expect
most of the action to be east of the local are by mid evening.

Overnight...expect a fairly strong cold front to race south
across the local area reaching the NE/KS state line near 12Z.
Behind this front...expect significantly cooler temperatures
across the area tomorrow afternoon...along with breezy north
winds and adjusted the forecast accordingly. While there will be
some showers around behind the front...cannot completely rule out
an isolated thunderstorm or two given a few hundred joules of
CAPE...so went ahead and re-introduced isolated storms to the
forecast for the late afternoon/evening hours. If thunderstorms do
develop...however...they will not be severe.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 257 PM CDT Fri Jun 16 2017

Small chances for showers or thunderstorms will exist into the
evening hours Saturday behind the aforementioned cold front. With
continued north winds and cool air advection on Sunday...expect a
very nice and seasonably cool afternoon...with highs possible
falling just shy of 80 degrees across the majority of the local
area along with northwest breezes.

Dry and seasonably warm weather is then expected through at least
Tuesday afternoon...as high pressure builds back across the
intermountain west. Later in the week...expect the upper level
ridge to being to break down with the upper flow becoming a bit
more zonal...bringing multiple small and spotty chances for
thunderstorms back to the local area Tuesday night through at
least Thursday. Temperatures over this time period are a bit in
question with quite a spread between guidance...but given short
term concerns...did not alter from the blended guidance generated
this afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 00Z Saturday)
Issued at 637 PM CDT Fri Jun 16 2017

Prevailing VFR conditions are expected through the period. Expect
a passing TSRA at KGRI to continue to push east over the next
hour or so...with an abrupt shift in winds behind a surface cold
front expected around 17/02Z. While there will be a brief surge in
northerly winds behind this front...expect winds to eventually
decouple later in the evening...becoming light and variable
overnight. Winds will then increase as the atmosphere begins
mixing some in the late morning hours...with breezy northwesterly
winds expected at both terminals by afternoon.
