AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Hastings NE
256 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 243 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020

A cold frontal boundary crossing through Nebraska today will provide
the focus for another round of showers and thunderstorms later this
afternoon through tonight...primarily across our southern zones with
the front expected to orient from our southeast Neb Counties to
our western KS counties by evening. There will be plenty of
instability around with ML CAPES 2500-3000 j/g along and south of
the front, but overall shear remains weak...up to 20-25kts. With
shear lacking, not looking for much of a severe threat, but cannot
rule out the potential for damaging winds.

Heavy rain/hydro...of bigger concern with storms tonight is the
heavy rain and flooding potential. As has been mentioned for several
shifts now, moisture availability is abundant with surface
dewpoints in the low/mid 70s, precipitable water values are around
2" which are three standard deviations above normal and in the upper
90th percentile. With weak flow aloft, storm motion will be slow
at the onset of storm development and training of efficient rain
producing storms is expected, which are likely to produce rainfall
rates of an inch per hour and higher rainfall rates are also
possible. A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from this aftn
into Monday morning for north central Kansas and our southeast Neb
counties where the heaviest rain is expected to occur. The heavy
rainfall may cause areas of flash flooding and rapid rises in
rivers and streams from heavy rain runoff. The heaviest rain is
expected to impact to primarily impact portions of the Little
Blue, Republican and Solomon River basins.

Storms...convection has been ongoing across eastern Nebraska
today with some new development across western KS. Radar is
picking up on a few outflow boundaries and while the cold front
will be the main focus for storms...residual boundaries may
provide an additional storm focus. Storms are expected to increase
in coverage heading into this evening...continue through the
overnight hours and into the day on Monday. While the brunt of
the storms are expected to orient along/south of Highway 6, latest
high resolution models suggest the potential for new development
for elevated storms along/north of I80 after dark (along the
elevated frontal boundary). These storms will also be capable of
producing very heavy rainfall and would lead to multiple rounds of
storms/heavy rain as this next area of development moves
southeast and could contribute to additional potential
flooding/hydro issues.

On Monday there is still some model uncertainty on when convection
will depart our southern zones, with latest trends indicating storms
may linger thru the morning in north central Kansas. Once the storms
depart, dry weather is expected the remainder of the day with
noticeably cooler post frontal temperatures with highs mainly in the
low 80s and lower dps primarily in the 60s...quite a change from the
last several days.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 243 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020

Have some low pops in our southern zones for Tuesday as a system
tracks across KS/southern plains with our north central Kansas
counties on the northern edge of the activity. Tuesday night into
Wednesday...convection is expected to develop to our west with a
lead shortwave moving out of CO across KS while a closed mid level
low reaches WY. Have some isolated to scattered pops in the forecast
if any of this western convection is able to sustain this far east
overnight. Precip chances are looking more promising
Wednesday/Thursday as the western closed low meanders southeast
across Neb into KS later this week. There are some models
differences in timing and if system slows any further, then precip
could linger longer into Friday. The 12Z ECMWF advertises a fairly
widespread precip and potentially prolonged precip event with
this closed system and something to monitor. Behind this
system...heights rise across our region heading into next weekend
as an upper ridge axis builds north from the desert southwest and
precip chances trend down.

As far as temperatures...most days will see highs in the low/mid 80s
but clouds/precip with the system later this week could keep highs
in the 70s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 18Z Monday)
Issued at 1213 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020

The weather will become more active for the terminals (or in the
vicinity of the terminals) this afternoon and tonight. Thunderstorms
are expected to develop along a cold frontal boundary and along any
residual outflow boundaries from last night's convection and
ongoing convection attm. Main timing for storms is around 22-23Z
with primary focus expected south of the terminals initially, but
then new development is possible along an elevated front tonight
(after dark) which may be in the KEAR/KGRI areas. Heavy rain will
be the primary hazard from the storms, although damaging winds
remain possible. Otherwise wind speeds will remain fairly light
the next 24 hours and cloud heights will be fairly variable with
MVFR cigs fairly likely and could see some IFR cigs late tonight
and into Monday morning.
