Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE
410 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Sunday)
Issued at 405 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017

Storms are beginning to percolate across north central
and northeast Nebraska in uncapped enviroment ahead of
surface boundary. Per 18z OAX sounding and SPC MA, area south of
interstate 80 still somewhat capped. CAM have been little
erratic on convective development, with RAP doing the best
with initiation. Mid-level shear decent with OAX sounding showing
50-60kt in mid-levels. Weak shear in the low levels, so any
tornado development likely will be coincident with surface
low and along boundary that currenly arcs along and
east of Missouri River. Used consensus blend of CAM for PoP
and weather this evening and through the overnight. Approaching
H5 short weave will allow additional storm development along
boundary that will stretch southward into Kansas. Based on
CAM, bulk of activity will be out of forecast area by 08utc.

Cyclonic flow aloft and H8 convergence will provide focus for
isolated showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder during the
afternoon. Passage of vort max late in the day, will bring large
scale subsidence across the region and a reprieve from storms by
Friday evening. Little or no precipitation threat Saturday or
Saturday night. Warm air advection and return flow may allow
for isolated convection early Sunday morning, but expect activity
to diminish by late morning.

Accepted short-term model consensus temperatures for the most
part Friday through Saturday. On Sunday, GEFS members hinting
that temperatures could be a little warmer than consensus blend.
Due to combinations of upper level ridging, H8 thermal ridge and
compressional warming ahead of southward moving surface boundary,
decided to raise temperatures a few degrees.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 405 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017

Medium range models have been consistent with MCS development
Sunday night into Monday, though timing and location have varied
from run to run. Due to ongoing inconsistency, keep PoPs only in
high chance range.  Perhaps a little break from precip chances
later in the day on Monday, then unfortunately, shortwave moving
through the central plains on Tuesday may dampen holiday
activities. Accepted consensus/guidance temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017

Storms will likely develop in northeast Nebraska early this
afternoon along frontal boundary and near an associated area of
low pressure. Convection will then progress east/southeast across
the area, possibly reaching KOMA around 00Z. Confidence in
convective sustainability decreases further south across
southeast Nebraska and southern Iowa due to atmospheric overturn
from morning convection. Lingering showers and storms should be
clear of the TAF sites by 06Z.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST
IOWA...WEST CENTRAL IOWA...EAST CENTRAL NEBRASKA...NORTHEAST
NEBRASKA AND SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

There is a slight risk for severe storms this afternoon and into
the evening hours. Storms will likely fire in along a boundary in
northeast Nebraska during the early afternoon hours. They will
then progress southeast, potentially reaching the I-80 corridor.
There remains uncertainty as to how far into southeast Nebraska
and southwest Iowa storms will be able to hold together, given
that the atmosphere further south has not had much time to recover
from morning convection. Large hail and damaging winds will be
the primary threats with any storms that do develop. An isolated
tornado or two cannot be ruled out as well, especially along
intersecting boundaries in northeast Nebraska.

Storm activity should clear the area then by late this evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

Thunderstorm chances will continue through early next week in
response to a series of Pacific NW disturbances moving through.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Storm spotter activation will possibly be needed in counties
across northeast Nebraska this afternoon.
