.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 249 PM CDT Sat Aug 12 2017

The HRRR would seem to be the most rational model for the storm
activity late this afternoon and tonight. A blend of the Canadian,
nam and gfs was the basis for chance showers and thunderstorms
Sunday.

Storm activity late this afternoon and tonight could organize into 3
clusters off the Colo front range, Laramie range and Black
Hills/White river valley where a warm front will be located. A blend
of the HRRR and HRRR Exp models was the basis for the storm forecast
tonight. The RAP model was taking an atypical storm/propagation
southwest from Valentine to Imperial and was discarded for this
forecast.

POPs are limited to 70 percent as some models like the NAM show the
infamous "Lincoln County Split" sending storms through Southwest
Nebraska and North Central Nebraska north of Broken Bow. This would
produce little or no rain across Lincoln and Custer Counties.

Storm activity should exit the forecast area 12z-15z Sunday morning
but redevelopment is possible across Wrn and Ncntl Nebraska. This is
highly dependent on the tracks of the MCS's tonight. So, POPs Sunday
are limited to 30 percent. SPC is placing a slight risk for severe
storms across the Nebraska Panhandle for isolated storm development
during the afternoon. Winds aloft at 500mb should increase to 30-
40kt late in the afternoon.

Temperatures aloft are quite cold today and Sunday, less than 10C at
700mb, and when combined with 30 to 40 kt winds at 500mb and ample
moisture, SPC suggested very large hail west of highway 83 late this
afternoon and this evening. See the SPC day 1 outlook for additional
information.

South winds redevelop Sunday and this, presumably, will support
highs in the lower 80s with partly cloudy skies.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 249 PM CDT Sat Aug 12 2017

The long term forecast period will be characterized by near to
slightly below temperatures and a chance for at least isolated
thunderstorms daily. By far the best chance for organized widespread
thunderstorm activity will be Tuesday evening, when a strong
shortwave trough will move east across the Dakotas and Nebraska. A
few severe storms will probably occur, but overall shear is rather
weak. The bigger threat may be areas of locally heavy rainfall.

Really little pattern chance seen this week...as west to northwest
flow materializes once again in the wake of Tuesday's shortwave. The
upper level high pressure and associated heat will remain well south
of our region in TX and LA.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 631 PM CDT Sat Aug 12 2017

Thunderstorms continue along aand south of a line from KVTN to
KAIA. These storms contain large hail. KVTN looks to be on the
backside of the system and have left thunder out of the forecast
for now. KLBF will see vcts through at least 2z. Line is kind of
sporadic and have just carried vcts. Southerly winds to the east
of the line and will become light and variable once the
thunderstorms get to the east of the station. Some stratus
expected around sunrise with MVFR cigs.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western and
north central Nebraska.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected this
afternoon and evening. The area of concern is generally west of a
line from Springview to Rose to Broken Bow.

Wind damage and very large hail, 2 inches or larger in diameter,
are the primary hazards. An isolated tornado may form and this
would be most likely to occur late in the afternoon or early this
evening. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

Sunday and Sunday night holds a risk for isolated strong to
severe thunderstorms across much of the area with the best
chances in the eastern Nebraska Panhandle and far southwest
Nebraska. Large hail and damaging winds are the main hazards.

Unsettled conditions continue Monday through Thursday with
thunderstorms forecast mainly in the afternoon and night.
However, the threat for strong or severe thunderstorms is
uncertain at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and evening.
