Flash Flood Warning 23, NWS Hastings, NE

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hastings NE
632 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 323 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2019

A few thunderstorms are starting to develop across the western part
of the forecast area this afternoon. Satellite shows some stronger
cumulus starting to develop in the southwest part of the area.

The short term models have been showing a couple rounds of
thunderstorms. The first is this afternoon and into the evening
hours, the activity we are starting to see now. The instability is
expected to increase during the afternoon and into the evening
hours. Expect some severe weather with these storms as they move
through. In addition, the movement should be slow enough to bring
some good rain amounts.

Then, this evening and overnight, expect there to be another round
of thunderstorms that move in from the west. These will be moving a
little faster, but expect there to be some larger rain amounts. They
will be more linear in nature and could produce some wind gusts as
well as the heavier rains. Almost all of the models have heavy rain
in them and expect there to be some heavier pockets or rain. The
areas with the heaviest rain will be the areas that have the
combination of afternoon convection and more overnight.

Models are kind of all over for ending the precipitation. A few have
it ending overnight tonight, but there are some that continue to
have a little linger in the east in the morning. Expect there will
be a little left in the morning, but it should end pretty quickly.
Surface high pressure will build into the area on Tuesday. Clouds
should clear out behind the thunderstorms and mostly sunny skies are
expected Tuesday. Temperatures should get into the upper 80s or
lower 90s. As warm as it is getting this afternoon with cloud cover,
will need to look at temperatures tomorrow to see if they are too
low.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 323 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2019

There is a weak upper level wave that moves into the area Tuesday
night. There could be a few showers and thunderstorms that develop
in the west and move through. Some models have some, while others do
not. Have some small PoPs, but not sure how much there will be.

A surface high builds into the area Tuesday night into Wednesday
night before moving to the east on Thursday. Expect there to be
mostly clear skies and temperatures maybe a little below normal.

An upper level ridge builds just to the west of the area Wednesday
through Saturday. Temperatures start to warm up later in the week.
Despite the ridge, there are still a few persistent, mainly weak
upper level waves that try to move over the ridge. Thursday night
through Saturday night, there will be some mainly on and off chances
for thunderstorms. The best chances appear to be Friday and Saturday
evenings, for the most part.

Sunday through Monday the ridge continues around the area. Expecting
dry conditions and warmer temperatures.

Issued at 627 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2019

Thunderstorms are moving through the area and should continue for
a few more hours. Then overnight, there will be another band of
thunderstorms that move through the area. Thunderstorms should end
late tonight and skies clear out during the morning. There are
still a few models that bring in some MVFR ceilings for a time in
the morning.
