Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
313 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 313 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

At 20Z, surface low pressure extended from far eastern WY south
along the Front range of CO. Storms have already initiated east
of this leeside surface trough into the western panhandle and near
Akron CO. Isolated elevated still lingered over the central
Sandhills. temperatures have risen above 90 near and west of
Highway 83 to as warm as 96 at Imperial, with mid 80s further
east.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 313 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

Tonight... Storms initially near and west of Highway 61 will
spread east mainly across north central Nebraska. This has been
indicated by the HRRR, RAP and NAMNest models. Further south
across southwest Nebraska into Custer County, POPs were lowered to
a slight chance or isolated coverage. All the activity should
begin to diminish after 03Z and exit the eastern areas soon after
06Z. There is a Slight Risk for severe storms for areas west of
Ogallala through Springview and a marginal Risk to the east.
Damaging winds looks to be the greater threat, although large
hail to 1 inch diameter also possible.

Wednesday and Wednesday night... A disturbance currently in
eastern Utah will reach the western Sandhills Wednesday
afternoon. Strong heating with highs reaching the mid and upper
90s over the western Sandhills along with a surface dryline in
place will be a focus area for storm initiation. MUCAPEs west of
Highway 83 1500-2500 J/KG and 2500-5000 J/KG to the east, modest
deep layer shear 20-25KT, and steep mid level lapse rates would
support strong to severe storms soon after initiation. A slight
risk for severe storms is forecast from southern Cherry County
southeast across most of southwest and central Nebraska. This has
consistently been indicated by the GFS and ECMWF the past few
days. An organized thunderstorm cluster may form, with an
increasing damaging wind threat southeastward during the evening.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 313 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

Thursday through next Tuesday... Thunderstorm development late
Thursday afternoon is conditional, and contingent upon a fairly
strong cap breaking. Forecast soundings indicate CIN weakening to
150 to over 300 J/KG while SBCAPEs range from 2500-near 5000
J/KG. Deep layer shear is also weak at 10-15KT. Not expected any
thunderstorm development at this time, for a dry forecast.

On Friday, a weak front will move through most of the area, with
a slight chance for storms Friday evening across eastern areas.

Saturday, a trough moving across the Northern Plains will bring a
weak cold front into the area for afternoon and overnight chances.
This will bring a cooldown to the 80s for Sunday through Tuesday.
The period look mainly dry as northwest flow becomes established,
from an upper ridge intensifying across the Desert Southwest and
an upper trough deepens across the Great Lakes/Midwest.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period outside of
thunderstorms which are expected to develop later this afternoon
into the early evening. Have included thunder in the VTN TAF but
left out of LBF due to uncertainty with respect to southward
extent. Cannot rule out MVFR and possibly brief IFR CIGs and
visibility in these thunderstorms to go along with the threat for
erratic gusty winds and hail. Activity will wind down by late this
evening with the expectation for LLWS to develop for the early
morning hours Wednesday.

&&

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