Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
626 PM CDT Fri Jun 8 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 328 PM CDT Fri Jun 8 2018

A severe MCS is forecast to develop early this evening, and move
quickly east-southeast. SPC continues to suggest an enhanced wind
damage threat this evening into the early morning. Isolated storms
expected to initiate in northern Sheridan County, followed by
scattered storms moving east into the northern panhandle. As
suggested by the latest and recent HRRR model runs, a small
convective cluster should begin to take shape across the nw
Sandhills by 8 pm CDT. While damaging straight line winds the
primary hazard, there is also the potential for some large hail.
The thunderstorm forecast carries likely POPs across much of north
central Nebraska this evening, and into portions of central
Nebraska crossing midnight. The southward extent of chance POPs
extend south to near Ogallala thorugh Stockville, with just a
slight chance south of there.

The severe weather potential is based on ML CAPES +35000 J/KG and
0-6km shear values of 25 kts. A dry layer around 850 mb will
enhance the wind damage threat. The convective system should exit
the eastern zones by 6 am CDT. Depending on the size and
intensity of the system, locally heavy rainfall is also possible.
A half to three quarters of an inch is possible across much of
north central into parts of central Nebraska. Although not an
immediate concern, localized flash flooding is possible mainly
east of O'Neill through Burwell.

On Saturday, the atmosphere should become fairly stable in the
wake of tonights system, as the upper ridge axis extends across
the Plains. Warm 700 mb temps near 15C across the Panhandle and
southwest should act to inhibit any thunderstorms late afternoon
as highs reach or exceed 90 degrees most areas.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 328 PM CDT Fri Jun 8 2018

A slight chance for storms Saturday evening across the northwest
Sandhills as height falls begin to work into the region. Backed
southeast winds into the Blackhills region to be favorable for
storm initiation, which may move into the northwest Sandhills.

Sunday will be hot with daytime highs reaching well into the mid
90s with upper 90s across parts of southwest Nebraska.

The upper trough will force the cold front through the forecast area
Sunday night or early Monday morning. With height falls occurring,
and the associated cold front, thunderstorms are possible across
the northwest half of the area overnight, although a few storms
could develop further east.

Cooler and more stable air will reside behind the front for
dry seasonal conditions Monday and Tuesday. Highs in the upper
70s to lower 80s. By Wednesday, an upper ridge begin to build in,
with a warm front lifting north across the plains. Temperatures
warm into the mid and upper 80s Thursday-Friday.

Thunderstorms chances return late Tuesday into Wednesday, as fast
zonal flow interacts with a warm front lifting north. Another
chance arrives Thursday night.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 626 PM CDT Fri Jun 8 2018

Forecast challenge involves extent of developing MCS in area and
time of departure. Current thinking is for the storms in SD to
move southeast once an organized large scale cold pool develops
which is ongoing now, following the theta-E axis that is
currently outlined by the cu field in satellite. Good moisture
inflow and evolving LLJ should sustain the storms as they head
further south. Did not bring them as far south as KLBF until after
04Z though that will have to be evaluated as the night
progresses with consideration of additional storms to the west
moving in.

SREF probs not indicating much potential for widespread IFR cigs
in the post-MCS environment toward morning though that is always a
bit of a concern. Have left out for now. Once organized system
moves out there should be mainly convective debris for the morning
but mainly in the form of high level cloudiness.

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