Area forecast discussion, Jul 4, 6:53 PM CDT, 5 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hastings NE 653 PM CDT Thu Jul 4 2019 ...Aviation Update... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 316 PM CDT Thu Jul 4 2019 The lower clouds across the area have nearly cleared out. There are still some cumulus that have formed in the southwest, but mostly sunny skies are common across much of the area. Temperatures have quickly made a recovery. Highs still could be a tad lower than forecast. Have taken a couple of degrees off the high this afternoon. There is still at least a little uncertainty for the forecast tonight. Some models have convection further to the north, others further south, some earlier and some later. Have settled on keeping the forecast dry into the evening and most fireworks shows should go on without trouble. The western part of the area will be the area with the thunderstorms the closest. The thunderstorms should then move through the area with the best chances for thunderstorms in the Nebraska portion of the area tonight. The problem is then what happens on Friday. Most of the thunderstorms should move out of the area Friday morning, but the timing is a little bit of a challenge. Then, there is an upper level wave that moves into the area Friday afternoon which will cause a redevelopment of thunderstorms Friday afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 316 PM CDT Thu Jul 4 2019 The thunderstorms Friday afternoon are expected to continue into Friday night. The upper level wave will continue to move through the area and there is a fairly weak front across the area. The thunderstorms should be mainly to the north of the front. The best chance should be during the evening and mostly over the Nebraska portion of the area. The period Saturday through Thursday will have an upper level ridge building across the area and to the west. The weekend into early next week the ridge is fairly weak and there will be several upper level waves that move across the ridge. There will be on and off chances for thunderstorms. With some clouds around, the temperatures will be a little cooler than normal. Toward mid week, the ridge builds some. The upper level waves moving across the ridge are weaker and the chances for thunderstorms become more irregular and lower chances. At the same time, the temperatures start to warm back up a little, more toward normal. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 00Z Friday) Issued at 640 PM CDT Thu Jul 4 2019 There is relatively high confidence that a line of thunderstorms will move through central Nebraska late tonight...mainly after 06Z. That said, timing remains a bit tough to pin down...therefore just continued with VCTS mention for now. After thunderstorms move out of the area tomorrow morning, we should have have a dry period before additional storms potentially redevelop in the late afternoon and evening. The most likely timeframe is just outside of this TAF period. & .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...None. KS...None. && SHORT TERM...JCB LONG TERM...JCB AVIATION...Mangels
