Severe Thunderstorm Warning 35, NWS Omaha, NE

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 345 AM CDT Sun May 24 2020

Main forecast concerns are thunderstorms, chance of severe storms
and potential for rain amounts high enough to cause flooding. Will
issue a Flash Flood Watch for 4 pm today until Noon Monday for
southern parts of the area.

MCS continues to move east with development on southern end. Added
some counties to Severe Watch until 6 am. Storms should die out
toward mid morning as low level jet continues to veer and will
weaken later. That leaves a probable lull in strong convection
for late morning and early afternoon. Storms could again fire up
in the area mid to late afternoon. Any outflow boundaries may
enhance storms. 0-1 km MLCAPE values from the RAP13 model increase
to near 3000 J/kg this afternoon and evening across southeast NE
and southwest IA, with 0-6 km bulk shear ranging from 20 to 40
knots. Shear should be the lowest near the MO border and highest
in areas west of a line from Wayne to David City. The atmosphere
will remain quite moist today and tonight with PW values up to
near 1.5 inches. Heavy rain will be possible with many locations
getting 1 to 3 inches. Locally higher amounts will be possible.
Main severe threat is currently expected to be before 8 am today
and then again probably 4 pm to midnight tonight. Mid level height
falls should affect the area tonight, with shortwave energy
moving in from the southwest.

Pattern will remain active into Monday, possibly Tuesday. Chances
start to drop for Wednesday, then it looks drier from Thursday
into Sunday as the large scale pattern changes. Closed low sets up
over TX and OK, with main westerlies across the northern tier of
the US. A ridge at 500 mb should develop over the Four Corners
Region then try to build northeast toward our area by Sunday.

AFD shortened due to ongoing severe weather early this morning.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
Issued at 1140 PM CDT Sat May 23 2020

An MCS evolving over central NE will progress through portions of
eastern NE overnight into Sunday morning. KOFK is most likely to
be impacted by this system with variably gusty winds and potential
for MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities. KOMA and KLNK may
receive more of a glancing blow toward daybreak Sunday. Ahead of
the MCS, a strong low-level jet will result in LLWS at KOMA and
KLNK overnight. Another round of thunderstorms is expected late
Sunday afternoon and evening at KOMA and KLNK.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Strong to severe thunderstorms are moving through parts of the
area early this morning. Some of these are producing winds over
60 mph and hail. The storms should weaken and generally end mid
to late morning across the area.

New storm development is expected mid to late this afternoon and
into the evening. Storms could be severe, with large hail,
damaging winds and heavy rain. The area with the highest chance of
severe weather is generally southeast of a line from David City to
Onawa. The main window of time for severe weather later today
is from 4 pm to midnight. A flash flood watch is also in effect
for parts of eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa from 4 pm today
until noon Monday.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Storms could continue to produce pockets of heavy rain overnight
and into Monday morning.

Thunderstorms could occur over parts of the area at times from
Monday afternoon into Wednesday, especially in southeast Nebraska
and southwest Iowa. At this time, the chance of organized severe
storms from Monday into Wednesday seems fairly low.
