Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service North Platte NE
634 PM CDT Fri May 17 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 319 PM CDT Fri May 17 2019

Strong southwest flow aloft combined with strong southerly low
level flow ahead of the dryline will be providing sufficient deep
layer shear to generate supercells along the dryline after about 3
PM CDT. Bunkers right-moving supercells will be from the
southwest and rapid - about 35 kts or so making supercell
interaction likely. All modes of severe weather will be possible
with initial development and as storms remain in the warm sector.
As expected, storms that encounter the warm from will have an
enhanced tornado threat as explains in prev SPC and the mesoscale
update discussions. As upper support strengthens through the
evening the small clusters will likely grow upscale to one or two
large convective systems with large hail and damaging winds a
continued threat. Storms push north into SD after midnight. Cold
front overtakes the area through the night.

Mainly a dry start to Saturday but a secondary frontal surge will
drop quickly south across the area. Some chance for weak
thunderstorm development along this front Sat afternoon though
coverage is expected to be limited.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 319 PM CDT Fri May 17 2019

A cooler and wetter pattern shapes up for the first half of the work
week as yet another upper low becomes negatively tilted and closes
off over the Great Basin area. Deep southerly flow ahead of this
feature across the central and southern Plains will allow moisture
to return and increase across the area setting the stage for a
prolonged rain event in areas that have seen plenty of rain already
this year. While some deterministic solutions suggest snow at least
mixing with rain in the far northwest portion of the area,
believe at this time a lack of deep cold air will preclude
anything but a brief mix Tuesday night at this point, and
confidence on that is low. So will leave precip type as all rain
for now.

Chances for rain continue through the remainder of the week as well
and another system drops into the main long wave trough across the
west by late Wedneday and Thursday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 634 PM CDT Fri May 17 2019

Storm conditions continue this evening until around 06z.
Thereafter, VFR is expected along and south of highway 2 with
IFR/MVFR/local LIFR in low or very low ceilings north of highway
2. A gradual improvement to VFR is expected 12z-18z Saturday.
