Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
708 PM CDT Thu May 10 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 334 PM CDT Thu May 10 2018

Models continue to agree that thunderstorms will congeal into an MCS
across the Sandhills into southwest NE early this evening, and then
track eastward across north central and central Nebraska mid to late
evening. Surface low pressure will be located across northeast
CO. early this evening, with a warm front extending east from the
low across west central and southwest Nebraska. This is the area
where low level moisture will be maximized with SFC dew points
near 60F. This is also the area of best instability and strongest
shear. Large hail and wind damage seem most likely in these areas
as the storms move through. In addition there is a small chance
that an isolated tornado may form, especially right near the warm
front where LCL levels may be lower due to the local higher
moisture content.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 334 PM CDT Thu May 10 2018

Unsettled weather will continue Friday into Saturday. A large upper
level low pressure system will remain established across the
western CONUS. We'll be on the eastern fringes, with a chance for
showers through Saturday. NAM does continue to indicate some
instability in the mid levels Friday night, and will include
thunder during this time. Otherwise the surface front will be well
to the south in KS, with an overcast stratus cloud deck and cool
temperatures locked in our area both Friday and Saturday. By
Sunday, expected some improvement as the upper level low weakens
across the Rockies. Breaks in the clouds should allow highs to
reach the mid and upper 60s.

The upper trough will reload and deepen next week across the
western U.S. This will continue southwest flow aloft across the
central plains. A stationary front will meander north and south
during this time, separating warm, humid Gulf air to the south and
cooler drier Canadian air to the north. This, with the upper
trough locate d to the west, should yield a good set up for at
least scattered thunderstorms at times. Highs mostly will be in
the mid to upper 70s, with perhaps some lower 80s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 644 PM CDT Thu May 10 2018

Numerous thunderstorms developing across the eastern Panhandle
into the far western Sandhills. Storms are expected to continue
through the evening hours with movement east-northeast; storms
are anticipated to congeal and transition to clusters/line this
evening as well. Storms are expected to exit out of the local
forecast area during the small hours. Meanwhile, ceilings are
expected to deteriorate to low-end MVFR (less than 2 kft) to IFR
overnight with sub-VFR conditions continuing tomorrow.

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