Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE
632 AM CDT Sat May 20 2017

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday)
Issued at 323 AM CDT Sat May 20 2017

Ending precipitation chances this evening is the primary forecast
concern.

Upper low was still spinning in the central Rockies this morning,
and was finally making a push to the east toward southwest Nebraska.
Continued moisture transport from the Southern Plains into Nebraska
and Iowa ahead of the low was providing ample fuel for precipitation
as impulses rotate into the region. One impulse was moving through
early this mornings, sparking bands of moderate showers with a few
lightning strikes from time to time. Model output is consistent in
moving low center into northeast Nebraska late this afternoon then
on into Minnesota by 12Z Sunday. Thus the trend for decreasing rain
chances will commence from south to north this afternoon, with all
precip exiting to the north and northeast overnight.

Shorter range mesoscale models suggest current band of precipitation
will lift north into northeast Nebraska early today, with one more
area developing in its wake. Best consensus of model output shows
showers associated with this area will move north of Interstate 80
by 18Z, with showers persisting into the evening in northeast
Nebraska and west central Iowa nearer core of low center.

Upper low is forecast to drift north to just north of Minnesota and
Lake Superior on Monday, leaving our area in cyclonic flow regime
then. Also, a potent trough is expected to rotate south on west side
of low, entering then Northern and Central Plains Monday afternoon.
Steepening lapse rates under cooling aloft, combined with lingering
mid level moisture suggests scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms are likely over much of the area Monday afternoon,
focusing along cold front attendant to upper trough. Thus will
maintain our current forecast for precipitation then. Given steep
lapse rates, MUCAPE values approaching 1500 J/kg, and moderate
shear, a few storms could get a little frisky Monday afternoon. As
such, SPC has much of eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa in a
marginal risk for severe.

Otherwise cool temperatures will remain in place this afternoon
under clouds, precipitation and northeast to north winds. A bit
warmer temperatures in the 60s should return for Sunday with
decreasing clouds from southwest to northeast as low drifts farther
away. Will likely surge into the lower 70s Monday as southwest flow
ahead of cold front provides for a brief warming opportunity before
convection fires in the afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Friday)
Issued at 323 AM CDT Sat May 20 2017

Showers and a few thunderstorms will continue through Monday evening
as cold front moves through under lingering instability. A few
showers are then again possible Tuesday with cyclonic flow regime
remaining overhead and perhaps a secondary shortwave trough rotating
through the region. A relatively dry and warmer period will follow
for the rest of the week when mid level flow flattens between
exiting Great Lakes low and a developing trough in the Pacific
Northwest. Highs in the lower 60s Tuesday should warm to near 70
Wednesday, then well into the 70s if not higher by Thursday and
Friday.
