Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 6:31 PM CDT, 3 hours 53 minutes before
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. && SHORT TERM...Roberg LONG TERM...Roberg AVIATION...Snively
