Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service North Platte NE
620 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 228 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2017

The main concerns in the short term period revolve around
thunderstorm potential, strong and severe, this afternoon and
evening. Latest satellite imagery shows sky cover eroding in
northeast CO to southwest NEB. Surface dew points at the top of
the hour range from the lower 60s to around 70, highest towards
south central NEB.

Latest SPC mesoanalysis shows strong instability with MLCAPE in
excess of 3000 J/kg from northeast CO and across the southern
Sandhills. There is some MLCIN. Soundings show an environment
featuring an elevated mixed layer over southwest NEB that is
providing some convective inhibition, especially farther east
across southwest NEB towards central NEB. Steep mid-level lapse
rates (700-500 hPa) are in place as well. Deep layer vertical
wind shear ranging near 40-50 kts and 200-250 m2/s-2 0-3 km SRH
upstream/far western portion of the CWA that show an environment
with potential for supercells. While there is some range with
solutions in hi-res guidance (comparing the SPC SSEO 00Z cycle,
flavors of wrf, HRRR, and HRRR experimental), a signal for
development in northeast CO/southern Panhandle into southwest NEB
is there. While they generally show storms weakening as they move
into southwest NEB, we are not completely confident with this
given instability and if storms have supercell features. As such,
the greatest uncertainty for storm develop/potential is in
southwest NEB. Current thinking also is this would be the most
likely area for more discrete storms given environment setup and
based on hi-res guidance. Thus the best chances for thunderstorms
and precip rest of today and tonight are along west and north of
a line from Grant to Ogallala to Mullen to Ainsworth. Elsewhere,
guidance have been fairly consistent with respect to northwest
NEB and t-storm chances haven't changed much. Continue to think
storms/MCS will affect portions of northwest NEB this evening.
Overall, threats for storms include all hazards (large hail,
damaging winds, tornadoes). Though the best tornado potential
appears just outside the forecast area to the west this afternoon
and early evening, will continue to monitor as the day evolves.

Tomorrow, predominantly dry conditions will prevail though there
is potential for thunderstorm, mainly along and east of Highway
281. Near to slightly above normal highs will prevail tomorrow,
not that different from today.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 228 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2017

A few thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday evening across Boyd,
Holt, Garfield, and Wheeler Counties, some may be strong to severe
as a negatively tilted trough swings through the region. The best
moisture will be ahead of a cold front in eastern Nebraska by the
time the storms fire so whether or not our eastern counties see any
stronger activity will depend on the timing of this feature. There
is certainly enough shear and instability to support a stronger
storm or two.

Swift zonal flow takes over on Wednesday behind the exiting upper
low. We should not see any rain Wednesday through Friday. The next
chance will be this weekend as another system moves across the
northern tier of the US. Temperatures will dive back toward normal
and remain there for the week with highs in the 80s to near 90
across the south.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 620 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2017

The extreme instability and severe thunderstorm threat should end
across Wrn Neb around 06z. Redevelopment is expected 21z-00z
Tuesday across ern Holt and Boyd counties. Otherwise VFR is
expected.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 228 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2017

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected tomorrow. Dry air
will move in and prevail across western Nebraska with afternoon
minimum relative humidity falling to 15 to 20 percent across
western Nebraska. Winds, however, are a limiting factor and will
be westerly 10 to 20 mph, strongest in northwest NEB tomorrow
afternoon.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop and or move northeast into
portions of the eastern Nebraska Panhandle and far western
Nebraska late this afternoon and evening. The best potential for
thunderstorms is along west and north of a line from Grant to
Ogallala to Mullen to Ainsworth.

Some thunderstorms may be severe, capable of producing very large
hail and damaging winds. A tornado is also possible, primarily in
the eastern Nebraska panhandle and extreme southwest NEB.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

Additional thunderstorms are possible tomorrow afternoon across
north central Nebraska, generally along and east of Highway 281.
Some storms may be strong or severe, capable of large hail and
strong winds.

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected Tuesday mainly in
the eastern Nebraska panhandle due to the combination of westerly
winds 10 to 20 MPH, low humidity 15 to 20 percent, and warm
temperatures.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed late afternoon and evening,
primarily west of a line from Ogallala to Valentine.
