Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
649 PM CDT Fri Jul 27 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 228 PM CDT Fri Jul 27 2018

The near term concern is thunderstorms with severe storms possible
mainly west of Ellsworth through North Platte this evening.
Overcast skies with showers and a few thunderstorms have limited
the instability this afternoon, and thus the potential for
widespread severe storms into this evening. Models do however
indicate a mid level disturbance currently extending from
southwest South Dakota thorugh southeast Wyoming to increase
thunderstorm coverage this evening, especially for areas south of
Highway 2. In addition to an isolated hail and wind threat, heavy
rainfall will be an additional concern. Areas which have received
heavy rainfall the past few days will be under increased chances
for localized flooding, which includes eastern Keith, west and
southeast Lincoln into Frontier County. Showers and thunderstorms
chances lower to a low chance pop after midnight, while chances
increase in the northeast to around 50 percent.

On Saturday, as the disturbance moves into eastern Nebraska,
showers and storms are likely during the morning with just a
slight chance southwest. In the afternoon, an approach disturbance
to the northwest, will bring increased chances for showers and
storms to the northwest Sandhills, while still near a 30 percent
chance southeast. Stratus will likely cover much of the forecast
area during the morning, while still mostly cloudy into the
afternoon. This will limit highs to only the low to mid 70s most
areas with a light southeast wind through the day.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 228 PM CDT Fri Jul 27 2018

Northwest flow aloft will continue Saturday night thorugh Sunday
night. This is due to upper level high pressure remaining anchored
across the desert southwest, and a slow moving upper trough draped
across the Great Lakes and Midwest. Shower and thunderstorm
chances to remain near 50 percent most areas Saturday night and
Sunday, with the best potential for heavy rainfall expected
across southwest areas Saturday night. Unsettled, rather cool
conditions are forecast though Sunday night, with scattered
showers and thunderstorms and highs Sunday in the mid 70s. Only
general thunderstorms forecast Sunday.

Early next week an upper level low will develop near and east of
the mid Missouri Valley and move eastward through Wednesday. With
lingering shower and thunderstorm chances Monday, the remainder
of the extended look dry. Upper level ridging will expand
northward across the Rockies. The upper level ridge to the west
will flatten out late next week. Flow aloft will become more zonal
across the central and northern plains as this occurs, with highs
returning to near normal in the middle 80s to around 90.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 648 PM CDT Fri Jul 27 2018

For the KLBF terminal: There will be a threat for thunderstorms
mainly during the evening hours. Any storms which do hit the
terminal, have the potential to produce wind gusts up to 35 KTS
along with heavy rain and visibilities down to 4 SM. Ceilings will
lower to 1500 to 2500 FT AGL overnight, increasing to 4500 to
6000 FT AGL on Saturday. For the KVTN terminal: Expect broken
ceilings ranging from 2000 to 4000 FT AGL overnight, increasing to
4000 FT AGL to 6000 FT AGL for Saturday. There will be a threat
for light showers overnight with visbys above 6 SM.
