Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
636 PM CDT Fri Jul 12 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 319 PM CDT Fri Jul 12 2019

The main concern for the near-term is the chance of thunderstorms
tonight and again on Saturday night. For tonight, Thunderstorms will
likely start across the northwest Sandhills over the next couple
hours. Thunderstorms will become widespread by mid-evening before
moving to the east. Sufficient instability (CAPE values over 3000
J/kg) will help to support severe storms across the central
Sandhills and into north central Nebraska. Strong winds will be the
primary threat as thunderstorms develop into a MCS overnight. Heavy
rainfall leading to localized flooding will also be a concern. Up to
an inch to 1.5 inches is possible across portions of the region.

For Saturday, dry conditions return for the daytime. Thunderstorm
chances return on Saturday evening. At this time, the severe risk
remains low with the best locations to see thunderstorms north of a
line from Lisco to Spencer. Any thunderstorms that develop are
expected to remain isolated. Will continue to monitor the
environment heading into tomorrow which in turn will give us a
better idea about the severe risk for Saturday evening.

Hot temperatures will also continue into tomorrow with highs in the
low to mid 90s. Heat indices in the mid to upper 90s should be
expected and extra precautions taken if one must be outdoors on
Saturday.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 319 PM CDT Fri Jul 12 2019

Heading into Sunday, dry weather is expected early with some
isolated chances of thunderstorms across the northwest.
Thunderstorms are not expected to be severe and will only last a
hour or two before dissipating.

For the beginning of next week (Monday through Wednesday), a fairly
redundant pattern sets up across western and north central Nebraska.
Dry conditions prevail during the days with evening and overnight
thunderstorms possible. Thunderstorms are expected to be tied mostly
to diurnal heating developing late afternoon and early evening.
Thunderstorms may become enhanced overnight as the nocturnal jet
intensifies; however, most thunderstorms are expected to dissipate
overnight. Severe risk is uncertain at this time, but fully expect
at least a stronger storm or two with these evening thunderstorms.
Small hail and gusty winds will be the primary threats. Localized
flooding due to intense rainfall will also be possible.

Beyond Wednesday, upper level ridging sets up across the central US
bringing a return to surface high pressure over the region. Drier
weather will return on Thursday lasting through the end of the week.

The other major concern headed into the extended period is the
continued very hot temperatures. High temperatures will be solidly
in the 90s through next Friday. Heat indices will also rise into the
mid to upper 90s. A few isolated locations across north central
Nebraska may even see heat index values approach 100 degrees. At
this time no headlines are expected, but stay tuned to later
forecasts as we get a better handle on temperatures next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 632 PM CDT Fri Jul 12 2019

VFR conditions will continue across western Nebraska for the next
24 hours. The main aviation concern will be the thunderstorm
develop this evening and overnight. Recent satellite and radar
imagery shows thunderstorms developing over the Nebraska
Panhandle. These are expected to make their way into western
Nebraska this evening and overnight and affect both terminals. Any
thunderstorms that do develop will be capable of reducing
visibility to below 3SM with gusty and erratic winds. The
thunderstorm activity should move east of the terminals shortly
after 06z Saturday.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
