Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
342 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

The main concern this forecast period is the thunderstorm
development this afternoon and evening. This is a bit of a
challenge as the stratus cloud deck from this morning stuck around
a little longer than anticipated, and has still stuck around
southern portions of north central Nebraska. Areas stuck under the
clouds have not warmed up as much as forecast, which may hinder
development of thunderstorms in this area.

Another thing to consider is early convection across the northwest
Sandhills this morning, the original thought was the convection
would move out of the area by mid morning, this has not been the
case and convection has remained over the northwest Sandhills longer
than expected which could have an effect on thunderstorms this
afternoon.

A warm front is draped across the Sandhills from west to
east which will become the focus for most of the thunderstorm
development this afternoon and evening. A very moist airmass is in
place with dewpoints in the 60s across much of the area, along
with a southeast surface wind, CAPE values around 3000 j/kg or
greater along with deep layer shear with 0 to 3km of 250 or more
across the northern Sandhills. This area is the most favorable
area to see severe thunderstorms including the possibility of a
tornado.

Along with the severe potential there is the possibility of heavy
rainfall with these thunderstorms with pwat values over an inch.
The greatest potential for excessive rainfall will be across the
northern Sandhills, mainly north of highway 2.

Another round of thunderstorms is possible Wednesday afternoon and
evening. There is a potential for severe thunderstorms once again
as an upper level TROF moves across the area Wednesday afternoon.
The best area for severe weather will be across the Sandhills,
where the instability will be the greatest.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

Cooler temperatures Thursday and Friday with highs in the upper
60s to 70s. Temperatures will warm back up into the 80s this
weekend through early next week. Temperatures will be around 5 to
10 degrees above normal. Rain chances will be minimal from
Thursday through Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1220 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

For the KLBF terminal: Over the next 24 hours, expect mainly high
clouds with scattered ceilings around 25000 FT AGL. There is a
minor threat for isolated thunderstorms early this evening across
SW Nebraska. Will handle this with a VCTS group since coverage is
isolated at best. In addition, low level wind shear will be a
threat overnight with southerly winds of 40 to 45 KTS 2000 FT AGL.
For the KVTN terminal: Thunderstorms will be possible in the
vicinity of the terminal beginning at 22z this afternoon with the
greatest threat from 00z to 04z this evening. Visbys as low as
3sm, wind gusts to 45 KTS and hail will be possible with these
storms. After 07z, the threat for thunderstorms will end at the
KVTN terminal with ceilings falling to IFR after 12z Wednesday.
