AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Hastings NE
703 PM CDT Thu Aug 26 2021

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 229 PM CDT Thu Aug 26 2021

This Evening into Tonight...
Showers and thunderstorms have largely remained north of our
forecast area through most of the afternoon thus far. However, we
expect additional thunderstorms will begin to develop off to the
west of our forecast area across northwestern Kansas and
southwestern Nebraska by early evening. These storms are then
expected to track northeast and could impact our northwestern
forecast area, mainly northwest of the Tri-Cities. The better
chance for strong to severe storms will be both west and north of
our forecast area with thunderstorms probably in the weakening
phase by the time they move into our area this evening.

Cloud cover around the Tri-Cities through much of the day has kept
our temperatures just a few degrees cooler, but these clouds have
finally started to erode and lift northeast. The heat advisory
for southern and southeastern zones will continue through 8 pm.

Friday...
Still hot especially across southeastern zones, which will be
south of a weak frontal boundary. We could see a few showers and
thunderstorms lingering into Friday morning and then possibly
redeveloping by late afternoon/evening. However, the better
chance for afternoon thunderstorms will be with the better forcing
well northeast of our forecast area across northern Iowa.
Consequently, most of our forecast area will likely remain dry.

Saturday into Saturday Night...
This is really the best chance for widespread appreciable rain.
A strong cool front will slide southeast across the forecast area
Saturday evening into Saturday night. Thunderstorms are likely to
form into a line along this front and track southeast with the
front providing a decent chance for many areas to see at least
some rainfall. Some of these thunderstorms could be severe and
this is probably also one of our better chances at seeing several
severe thunderstorms across the forecast area.

Sunday...
There will be some small chances for lingering thunderstorms, but
the big story is that it will be much more pleasant with cooler
highs only around 80 over southern Nebraska, to the lower and
middle 80s over north central Kansas.

Monday through Thursday...
The overall upper level pattern will start out fairly zonal, but
we will see a building upper ridge across the southern plains that
will push north into the central plains allowing for a decent warm
up. The next upper trough will try to start pushing into the
western high plains late in the period, around Thursday. We could
see a few slight chances for thunderstorms yet on Monday, but
Tuesday and Wednesday will likely be dry for most areas under the
building upper ridge. Thunderstorm chances should then increase
ahead of the next upper level system from northwest to southeast
Wednesday night into Thursday.

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 603 PM CDT Thu Aug 26 2021

Started POPs in our west/northwest an hour earlier as the
boundary looms nearby, plus increased sky cover this evening.
