Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service North Platte NE
708 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 255 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

H5 analysis from earlier this morning had a closed low
over the Tennessee Valley with a trough extending south into the
northern Gulf of Mexico. This low was south of a ridge of high
pressure which extended from the upper midwest to Hudson Bay in
Canada. Further west, a deep trough of low pressure extended from
northeastern Alberta, south into northern portions of Nevada and
Utah. Ht. falls of 50 meters were noted from Salt Lake City to
Riverton WY this morning. H5 temperatures in association with the
trough very very cold with readings around -25 from Washington state
east and southeast to Idaho and Montana. A nice 50 to 70 KT mid
level jet streak extended from Nevada into northern Utah and
northeast to Glasgow MT. At the surface, a strong cold front was
located roughly from Ainsworth to Ogallala as of 2 PM CDT. Showers
and thunderstorms have continued to develop well ahead of the front
across the northeastern forecast area this morning into the early
afternoon hours. So far as of 2 PM CDT, activity along and ahead of
the front has been quiet. Skies were mostly cloudy as of 2 PM CDT
and temperatures ranged from 61 at Gordon, to 85 at Imperial.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday night)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

In the near term, the
main forecast challenges are precipitation chances tonight, then
temperatures for Sunday night. For tonight, based on the latest HRRR
and 4KM NAM solns, the cold front will be oriented from Naper, to
Arnold, to Hayes Center around 7 PM CDT. Thunderstorms will develop
and continue INVOF the front through mid evening as the front clears
the forecast area by 10 PM CDT. The severe threat will be limited
behind the front, however, the threat for thunderstorms will
continue through the late evening hours as mid level instability
continues across the eastern half of the forecast area. The threat
for showers will continue beyond this evening into Sunday morning as
the mid level trough of low pressure lifts into the Panhandle and
western Dakotas. By midday Sunday, good subsidence develops across
the forecast area in the wake of the exiting mid level trough. Dry
conditions are expected with highs forecast in the middle 60s. High
pressure will build into southeastern Colorado Sunday night. This
will lead to light westerly winds across the forecast area. This
typically is a good cool air drainage setup. With clear skies and
dry air in place, lows will fall quickly after sunset. There is some
differences in forecast lows noted with the latest 12z MET and MAV
guidance. The MAV guidance is running 2 to 5 degrees warmer
compared to the MET guidance. Given the wind setup Sunday night and
expected dry air in place, trended the forecast toward the cooler
MET guidance. This led to forecast lows ranging from the middle 30s
in the western Sandhills, to around 40 in the western forecast area
to the lower 40s in the east. ATTM, the coolest lows are 36 at
Antioch and 37 at Gordon with 39 at North Platte and 41 at
Valentine. The record lows Monday morning for North Platte and
Valentine are 38 and 37 respectively. As for frost potential, will
leave it out of this forecast package as my coolest low is 36 for
Antioch. If this trends lower, may need to insert frost in the
forecast and possibly issue a frost advisory.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

High pressure will build east into Kansas. Southerly winds will
increase northwest of the high and in advance of an approaching
cold front. After highs in the 60s Sunday, highs will reach into
the 70s for Monday. This will be followed by a cold front and
increased chances for showers and thunderstorms Tuesday into
Tuesday evening. Ridging will build into the western CONUS
midweek. Moisture will be limited Wednesday and Thursday and a dry
forecast will be continued. Highs Wednesday will be around 70
behind the exiting front, while highs in the upper 70s to near 80
are forecast for Thursday. The next threat for showers and
thunderstorms will arrive on Friday as the ridge across the CONUS
weakens and a more zonal pattern develops. Low level moisture will
return to the forecast area as well, lending support for
increased precipitation chances.
