Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
1126 PM CDT Fri Apr 14 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 338 PM CDT Fri Apr 14 2017

Thunderstorms are expected to become scattered near and north of
Interstate 80 tonight.

Discrete storms will be possible early this evening east of a
line from Hayes Center through North Platte and Callaway, with a
few storms capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts. A
dryline bulge is forecast to push into southern Hayes and Frontier
County by early evening with a warm front just to the north. The
latest runs of the HRRR and RAP models are in similar agreement
with this location. Other isolated storms may develop along a
surface trough across the western Sandhills early evening. As the
boundary layer cools, the surface based storms will diminish or
move east of the forecast area. Elevated storms will then develop
northward as the evening progresses. Storms should become more
numerous as a low level jet develops across our southeastern and
eastern zones, and a cold front across the northwest pushes
southeast overnight. With storm motion only 10 kts to the east and
northeast, locally heavy rainfall may occur. The higher chances
for showers and storms overnight will be east of a line from
Broken Bow, Thedford and Ainsworth. The elevated storms will
still be capable of nickel size hail and gusty winds along with
locally heavy rainfall.

Lingering showers possible Saturday morning in the northeast,
otherwise the remainder of the weekend looks dry. Highs Saturday
will be cooler behind the Pacific cold front from the mid 60s
northwest to around 70 southeast.

Elevated fire weather condition to develop Saturday afternoon across
the southeast panhandle into southwest Nebraska with relative
humidity falling to 15-20 percent and northwest winds gusting to
around 20 mph.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 338 PM CDT Fri Apr 14 2017

Slightly warmer Sunday near 70 with light southerly winds
increasing to 5 to 15 mph in the afternoon.

Sunday night, the upper flow remains zonal with a weak cold front
across the area. An increase mid mid level moisture and a weak
disturbance will bring a chance for showers, followed by a
stronger and deeper upper trough approaching and moving across
Monday afternoon and Monday night. A surge of Gulf moisture into
the region with weak instability and mid level lapse rates near
7.5 c/km, thunderstorms are possible. Models agree on an organized
thunderstorms complex tracking across the Dakotas into north
central and central Nebraska overnight. Another upper trough cross
the area Tuesday night into Wednesday providing another chance
for showers and a few thunderstorms. Off and on shower chances
Wednesday night through Friday, as a trough and closed low tracks
into the Four Corners Region. Medium range models consensus is
for much of the showers and thunderstorms to be focused from
Kansas southward on Friday, with some chance that model could
trend northward and bring higher chances to Western Nebraska.

Highs remain above normal Monday and Tuesday in the upper 60s to
lower 70s. Forecast highs in the 60s Wednesday and Thursday, then
mid to upper 50s Friday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1125 PM CDT Fri Apr 14 2017

For the KLBF terminal: Expect mid level clouds overnight with
ceilings ranging from 8000 to 10000 FT AGL. Skies will clear on
Saturday. For the KVTN terminal: There will be a threat for
thunderstorms through 9z Saturday. Ceilings overnight will range
from 7000 to 10000 FT AGL. Skies scatter out Saturday morning with
cigs ranging from 9000 to 20000 FT AGL. Skies will clear out on
Saturday evening.
