Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
315 PM CDT Mon Jul 2 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Mon Jul 2 2018

A weak disturbance is lifting north out of Colorado this
afternoon. This will provide some broad lift above a surface
boundary stretching from northeastern Colorado through central
Nebraska. At this time, it looks like the boundary will roughly
lie between Imperial and Purdum when storms initiate around 23z.
CAMs have been trending later with initiation as the day has gone
on. Either way, there is a significant amount of instability and
moisture available with as much as 6,000 J/kg predicted around
initiation and rich dew points in the mid 70s. PWATs are predicted
to be around 1.5 inches as a ribbon of tropical moisture arrives.
Given the amount of moisture available, flash flooding is also a
possibility. Bulk shear is modest but enough at 20 to 25 kt
across most of the area of concern. Initially there could be some
severe hail and tornado potential, especially near the surface
boundary and with that much CAPE, storms moving into this region
could become rather energetic. Storms quickly merge into a line
however and switch to more of a straight line wind threat as the
storms dive southeast into south central Nebraska and Kansas early
this evening. There will be some isolated sub-severe development
behind the main complex of storms later on this evening.

There will be another chance for afternoon showers and storms on
Tuesday, with a few severe storms possible in the Panhandle and
along and north of Highway 2 but the action will be quite a bit
later with storms firing in the western panhandle into Wyoming and
then eventually moving into our area.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Mon Jul 2 2018

Showers and thunderstorms remaining into Tuesday night could bring
some gusty winds as the cluster makes its way into the Sandhills
around midnight. The rest of the day on Tuesday looks dry until
another disturbance arrives in the early evening, kicking off
another round of storms. There will be a repeat on Wednesday,
Independence Day, where mother nature might offer up some
fireworks of her own around sunset, especially along and south of
Highway 2. There is a threat for heavy rain with these storms as
well as PWATs over 1.5 inches are forecast for areas along and
east of Highway 83. Remaining showery on Thursday and Friday,
especially across central and southern Nebraska, with drier
weather returning for the weekend.

Temperatures will be hovering around normal for this time of year
with highs in the 80s and low 90s for much of the week. Lows will
be in the upper 50s to low 60s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1249 PM CDT Mon Jul 2 2018

Scattered thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and evening
across parts of southwest and north central Nebraska. The best
chance of thunderstorms development will be along and south and
east of a line from Brownlee to Arthur to Venango. Decided to
leave the mention of thunderstorms out of KVTN TAF for know as
thunderstorms should stay mostly southeast of the area.
However...winds are expected to remain gusty across the north
central Nebraska region through early evening with winds out of
the southwest around 20 to 25 mph.

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