Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
646 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 308 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

The main concern in the short term is with thunderstorm development
late afternoon into evening.  A surface trof will move into the area
late afternoon and evening with thunderstorms expected to develop
across the Panhandle and northeast Colorado and move into the
western and southwest Nebraska. Severe storms will be possible with
the main hazards being large hail and strong winds. The area of
greatest threat for severe thunderstorms looks to be across
southwest Nebraska. CAPE values will be 3500 to around 5000 J/kg
across much of the forecast area. 0-6KM shear is good with values
around 25 to 30 across southwest Nebraska and a little less across
the Sandhills with values around 20 to 25 kts. Thunderstorm activity
is expected to diminish after midnight.

Overnight temperatures in western Nebraska will be in the low 60s
and will range into the upper 60s in northeast Nebraska. Trended
temperaturesto cooler guidance as they are expected to be lower
than previously anticipated due to a lack of widespread
cloudiness. There is decent low level moisture tonight with dew
points reaching the upper 60s in north central Nebraska.

For Friday, slight thunderstorm chances will be possible Friday
afternoon into Friday evening, at this time it does not look like
severe thunderstorms will be possible. High temperatures for
Friday are expected to be 5 to 10 degrees above normal with
temperatures in the low to mid 90s.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 308 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

The upper level ridge pattern will remain in place over the weekend
and early next week bringing southwesterly upper level flow. Dew
points will generally remain in the 60s over the weekend but drop to
the 50s early next week. Thunderstorm activity will remain a
possibility each day during the afternoon with the greatest chances
on Sunday and Monday. Temperatures in the 90s are expected through
the weekend and early next week. The highest temperatures could
reach 100 degrees in southwest Nebraska on Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 641 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

VFR conditions largely expected through the forecast period.
Multiple areas of convection across western Nebraska are expected
to remain away from the TAF sites as they continue to weaken over
the next few hours. May see some weak convection approach LBF
early in the period but impacts are likely to be nothing more than
a wind shift to the southwest for a brief period. Overnight, CIGs
may approach MVFR for portions of central Nebraska including
BBW/ONL/ANW and possibly LBF. Ceilings should lift to above 10k
feet AGL after sunrise on Friday.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
