Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
631 PM CDT Mon Jul 20 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Mon Jul 20 2020

An upper trough in the northern stream will push a disturbance
through the area tonight. A weak cold front, and likely outflow
boundaries from thunderstorms will also move through. Scattered storms
in southern South Dakota will likely develop into organized
clusters of storms in north central Nebraska this evening and move
southeast. Deep layer shear is sufficient at 25 to 35KT with
instability near 3000 J/KG. The area is covered in a slight risk
for severe storms, with large hail and damaging winds possible.
Locally heavy rainfall also, with PWAT amounts near 1.5 inches.

Tuesday looks to be dry through much of the day in the wake of the
system tonight. Moisture will remain plentiful as PWATs still
1-1.5 inches. Slightly warmer in the mid 80s, with upper 80s far
southwest.

Thunderstorm chances increase again Tuesday night as the surface
front stalls in far northern Kansas. The best chances will be
north of this front across southwest and central Nebraska
overnight. A few strong storms possible along with locally heavy
rainfall.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Mon Jul 20 2020

For Wednesday and beyond, an upper ridge will build into the
region, and with that, hot temperatures into the mid 90s with
humid conditions Thursday through Sunday. Monsoonal moisture will
rotate across the region. Warmer temperatures aloft should
suppress thunderstorm development to some degree, with mainly
isolated late afternoon and evening thunderstorms possible.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 631 PM CDT Mon Jul 20 2020

The primary aviation weather concerns through Tuesday morning
include thunderstorms and low ceilings. Thunderstorm clusters will
continue to move through the Sandhills through 21/06z before
tapering to showers and exiting toward central Nebraska. Some
storms will be severe, capable of strong erratic winds and very
large hail. Expect brief significant visby drops. A stratus deck
will likely develop in the wake of the precipitation, mainly
across southwest and central Nebraska, resulting in MVFR cigs.

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