Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
656 PM CDT Fri Aug 9 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 322 PM CDT Fri Aug 9 2019

The thunderstorm forecast late this afternoon and tonight follows a
blend of the HRRR, HREF, RAP, NAMdng and the model blend which
places isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity from roughly
Deuel county northeast to Valentine. The srn storm activity is
expected to weaken early this evening which the nrn storm activity
may last for several hours as it advances east through nrn Nebraska.

POPs for tonight are capped at 30 percent to account for
uncertainties in coverage. Some models like the HRRR produce very
little storm activity tonight.

A significant and potentially major league heavy rain event could
develop across parts of western Nebraska late Saturday afternoon
through Saturday night. Precipitable water increases to over 1.70
inches with a deep warm layer supporting tropical type rain
processes. The problem with the forecast is locating the low level
focus for best rain chances. The models may be placing the h850mb
front somewhere across KS with swrn Nebraska in an easterly upslope
flow. A frontal location near the NE-KS border would favor swrn
Nebraska for heavy rainfall. The location of the front will become
known later tonight in the wake of the storm activity across the
Dakotas.

POPs for this portion of the forecast capped at 50 percent and the
forecast uses the same model blend as the tonight period. Once
again, some models such as the GFS and ECM produce very little
rainfall across wrn Nebraska Saturday while the NAM12 places heavy
rain centers of 4 to 6 inches over nern Colorado and nwrn Kansas/far
swrn Nebraska. The flood guidance across swrn Nebraska is less than
2 inches in an hour which could easily be eclipsed given the
moisture available.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 322 PM CDT Fri Aug 9 2019

The atmosphere transitions from quasi-barotropic to baroclinic
Sunday as a nrn stream disturbance infiltrates the tropical moisture
plume across the cntl Plains. The GEF output places a broad heavy
rain center over wrn and ncntl Nebraska and if this verifies, back-
to-back heavy rain events will occur. Parts of ncntl Nebraska might
be post-frontal with sfc low pressure over swrn KS and nern WY as
high pressure builds in to the upper Midwest. The double-barrel sfc
low pressure across WY and CO/KS will produce moist upslope east and
southeast winds across wrn Nebraska. The NAM and GFS continue
precipitable water above 1.70 inches Sunday night. The GFS and ECM
favor Sunday for the better rain chance while the NAM and SREF favor
Saturday.

A cold front will begin to dry out Wrn and ncntl Nebraska Monday
with northwest winds developing. Lingering moisture will continue
shower and thunderstorm chances Tuesday and beyond but POPs are 30
percent or lower.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 655 PM CDT Fri Aug 9 2019

The main aviation concern will the chance for rain and thunderstorms
across portions of north central Nebraska. At this time, the best
chance for development will remain across the north, impacting only
KVTN. Frequent lightning, erratic winds, small hail, and heavy rain
could all be threats with these thunderstorms. Otherwise, VFR
conditions will remain across the region through Saturday.

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