Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service North Platte NE
622 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 303 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

H5 analysis this morning had a high pressure over the
four corners with a ridge extending north into the Yukon and central
Alaska. West of this feature, a closed low was present over the Gulf
of Alaska, while east of the ridge, a closed low was located off the
northern tip of Quebec. A trough of low pressure extended south into
the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic. On the northern periphery of the
high, a weak shortwave tracked across western and central Nebraska
this morning and brought isolated showers and thunderstorms to
portions of central Nebraska. Very little in the way of rain fell
with the showers this morning as they tracked to the southeast. A
second wave was located mid day across Montana and was approaching
sern Montana and the Black Hills. At the surface, a stationary front
was anchored across central Kansas and transitioned west into
Colorado where it turned north along the front ranges of Colorado
and Eastern Wyoming. Light easterly winds and much cooler
temperatures were present across western and north central Nebraska
this afternoon. Readings as of mid afternoon were in the 80s to
lower 90s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 303 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

Tonight through Saturday night: Thunderstorm chances
is the main forecast concern over the next 24 to 36 hours. for
tonight: The disturbance, currently over Montana, will continue to
slide to the southeast this evening. Based on the latest HRRR,
convection will initiate in the Black Hills, entering the northern
panhandle sometime around 00z this evening. Shear parameters remain
favorable for super cell thunderstorms with weak southeasterly and
easterly winds at the surface and northwesterly mid level winds.
With respect to the severe threat, it will be highly conditional on
whether or not convection can initiate over the black hills and nern
Wyoming over the next couple of hours. The HRRR does initiate it and
lift it sewd into the forecast area, but this is the only model
which does develop decent convection this evening. The NAM12, GFS,
and WARW initiate only a small amount of thunderstorms if any at
all. Right now, I do have a mention of thunderstorms in the western
and southwestern forecast area this evening which will suffice if
the HRRR were to verify. Will keep the mention in the 20 to 30
percent range as it should be isolated in coverage at best.  For
Saturday, the short range solutions stall out a frontal boundary
from the northeast to the southwestern portion of the forecast area.
Moisture will pool along the boundary with SB CAPES reaching 2000-
3000 J/KG by mid afternoon Saturday. This is along and south of a
line from O'Neill to Imperial. Have introduced pops across the
forecast area Saturday afternoon into the evening hours INVOF the
front. The only place I feel confident in a dry forecast ATTM is in
the northwestern CWA. Elsewhere, have posted some 20 to 30 pops
during the late afternoon and early evening hours INVOF the front.
Shear will once again remain favorable for super cell thunderstorms,
so cannot rule out the threat for severe storms Saturday
afternoon/evening.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 303 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

Mid range (Sunday through Monday): On Sunday, a weak
frontal boundary, will once again set up across the forecast area
and serve as the focal point for thunderstorms. Both the NAM12 and
GFS solns, develop convection in the vicinity of the front Sunday
afternoon/evening. The main difference is location with the NAM12
favoring central and southern portions of the forecast area while
the GFS favors northern areas. With a compromise between the two
solutions, placed the front across the central CWA as well as the
highest pops, albeit slight chances. Deep layer wind shear is much
weaker on Sunday, so storms should be fairly weak and limited to the
late afternoon/early evening hours. On Monday, the frontal boundary
will lift north as a warm front. Very warm air will push into the
forecast area from the southwest. With the front north of the area,
temperatures will soar to the century mark across western and north
central Nebraska. The latest mex guidance has temps well above 100
degrees across the region Monday and this looks on track given where
the front is located.

Monday night through Friday: Hot temperatures will continue across
western and north central Nebraska into next week. Persistent
ridging aloft will remain entrenched across the intermountain west
and high plains well into the end of next week. There will be a
limited threat for thunderstorms during the peak heating times of
each day as weak shortwaves rotate around the northern periphery of
the closed low. Pops were limited mainly to the late afternoon and
evening hours in the outer periods, as little or no model agreement
exists for precipitation.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 622 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

It is believed the convection across Wrn Neb will grow upscale
this evening and move south...generally tracking west of highway
83.

Other thunderstorms...currently across Wrn SD...will move south
through Wrn Neb tonight...also affecting areas west of highway
83...and exit Swrn Neb by 12z.

The forecast uses a blend of the HRRR and RAP models. The
thunderstorm coverage shown in those models was shifted west about
50 miles to line up with the ongoing thunderstorm activity.

Other storm activity...generally isolated...is expected across
Wrn/Ncntl Neb, 18z Saturday aftn-00z Saturday evening. The
experimental HRRR model was the basis for this forecast.
