Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 6:36 AM CDT, 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE 636 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 440 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019 Line of convection moving through the area early this morning has weakened from earlier, but was still producing winds gusts 30 to 40 mph from Omaha southward. This will continue to march eastward and be out of the area with the next hour. Additional convection behind the first round has redeveloped across central NE, and this could still bring a severe threat to areas along/south of I80 through 9-10 am, with both hail and wind. Thus, we coordinated with SPC earlier in the night to reorient the severe watch that remains in effect until 15z. Otherwise, the rain moves out by mid morning, leaving behind dry weather for the late morning and early afternoon. However, rain chances start to increase again through the afternoon. Coverage would be pretty spotty, and very light, and probably just a shower. There is still a severe threat this evening, generally for southeast NE and southwest IA, just north of the the surface low which would be across northeast KS. Meanwhile, an advancing cold front in northeast NE could also bring a small chance of severe storms near the NE/SD border, but that threat appears to diminish by about 9 pm. In between, just some spotty thundershowers are possible. For Saturday, a severe weather threat continues in southeast NE and southwest IA, as a reinforcing surge of low pressure moves along the a stalled frontal boundary. Spotty showers would be possible elsewhere Saturday, but the severe weather threat is pretty low north of I80. For Saturday night, the next wave moves out of the central Rockies, renewing nocturnal precipitation chances across the area, boosting pops back into the likely range. Lingering rain chances continue into Sunday. Adding up all of the rain though the weekend, some locations could pick up 1 to 2 inches, and probably more for portions of southeast NE and southwest IA that receive multiple heavy rounds of rain. May eventually need a flash flood watch for some areas, but for now, will hold off. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday) Issued at 440 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019 We finally get a chance to dry out Monday through Tuesday. Models suggest some more spotty nighttime convection Tuesday night but probably over by daybreak Wednesday. Rain chances return Wednesday night through Thursday. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 630 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019 Thunderstorms will still impact KLNK/KOMA through 14-15z, then dry for several hours after. Showers could redevelop at these locations by 20z, with additional thunderstorms possible by 22/00-06z. Showers in the vicinity of KOFK for a couple of hours this morning. Then dry for several more hours until 22/01-03z. VFR conditions, but becoming MVFR and eventually IFR at KLNK/KOMA. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...None.
