Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
236 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 235 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

H5 analysis from earlier today had a closed low over
southern Montana with a trough extending to the ssw into western
Arizona. East of the low and trough, a nice shortwave was present
over central North Dakota. To the south of the low, a decent
shortwave was noted over northwestern Arizona. Ht. falls in
association with this feature were most pronounced over Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana the western South Dakota where 50 to 90 meter falls
were noted. East of the trough, high pressure was located over
northern portions of the Gulf of Mexico. A low amplitude ridge
extended north into the Ohio Valley and upper midwest. At the
surface: Low pressure was located over north central Nebraska in the
vicinity of Bassett Nebraska. A warm front extended to the northeast
into east central South Dakota and southern Minnesota. northwest of
the low, an occluded front was located from northern Nebraska into
southwestern north Dakota. south of the low, a cold front extended
into the Texas Panhandle. Across western and north central Nebraska
winds were generally northerly west of a line from Ainsworth to
North Platte. East of this line, winds were southerly wind gusting
as high as 20 MPH. In addition, a dryline was established and
extended from just west of North Platte into Western Kansas (along
the Kansas/Colorado) border. Temperatures as of 2 PM CDT were
generally in the mid to upper 80s, with some mid 70s in the
northeastern panhandle.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Tonight and Wednesday: Thunderstorms and the threat
for severe storms is the main forecast threat Tonight. For this
evening. Thunderstorms are expected to initiate sometime around 4 PM
CDT across the central and eastern sandhills. Current satellite
imagery already has convective cloudiness along and east of highway
83 from Valentine to North Platte. The latest HRRR initiates
convection in two locations: First along the back edge of the CU
field (roughly along Highway 97 from Tryon to Merritt Reservoir.
Second along the frontal boundary from Arnold up to Bassett. The 4KM
NAM from this morning initiates convection around the same time as
the HRRR, however it is slightly farther east, initiating it along a
line from Broken Bow to O'Neill. This also has support from the GFS
soln this morning. The 12z WARW is similar to the latest HRRR in
developing convection on the western periphery of the CU field. With
the front being located just to the east of KLBF as of 2 PM CDT,
which is farther west than the NAM and GFS fcst solns, am more
inclined to believe the HRRR and WARW solutions. That being said,
decided to drag pops further west during the early evening hours.
This was reflected in the midday fcst update and will be
incorporated in the afternoon fcst package. Storms which do develop
will quickly become severe, with large hail and damaging winds being
the main threats. Low level helicity is more favorable for tornadoes
further north into eastern South Dakota and srn Minnesota INVOF the
warm front. As for the tornado threat across the CWA, it appears to
be the greatest in the far eastern zones (Holt, Boyd, Garfield and
Wheeler counties). In these areas 0-2 KM helicities are on the order
of 100 to 200 M2/SEC2. Looking at the latest near range model
solutions, thunderstorms should exit the forecast area by 03z this
evening. Drier air will push into the forecast area thanks to light
westerly winds. The drier air will allow temps to reach the mid 40s
in the far west overnight with 50s expected elsewhere. Thanks to
westerly winds, dry air will push east into far eastern Nebraska and
western Iowa Wednesday afternoon. This will lead to dry conditions
across the forecast area with highs in the lower to mid 80s.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Mid range (Wednesday night through Thursday Night):
Westerly winds aloft and at the surface, will allow dry boundary
layer air to persist across the forecast area into Friday morning.
No embedded shortwaves are depicted in the models as well, lending
support to a dry forecast from Weds night through Thurs night.

Friday through Tuesday: Southerly winds will shift around to the
south late Thursday night into Friday. This will push boundary layer
moisture quickly northward. Late Friday into Friday night, a
shortwave will track along the Canadian/US border. This will force a
warm front aloft through the eastern Dakotas and Eastern Nebraska
Friday Night with an increased threat for storms in the northeastern
forecast area. This precipitation threat will be followed by a
secondary threat for pcpn Sunday night in association with a surface
cold front. This front will track through the forecast area Sunday
night with even a better chance for rain during the period.
Temperatures will be warmest on Friday with highs in the mid to
upper 80s, while sunday will be the coolest with highs in the upper
70s to lower 80s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Thunderstorm development is likely once again across central
plains this afternoon. Today the storms should initiate east of a
KLBF to KVTN line. The latest near term convective allowing
guidance does hint however at some development further southwest.
The official 18z forecast will keep TS mention out of the forecast
for KVTN and KLBF, but will monitor future model runs and current
atmospheric trend through the afternoon and address if need be.
Otherwise a weak low jet will attempt to create WS issues for the
LBF terminal near dawn Wednesday.
