Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 11:46 PM MDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 1246 AM CDT Sat Apr 23 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 1003 PM CDT Fri Apr 22 2022 The forecast gets a temperature dewpoint update for warmer more moist conditions using the RAP and HRRR models. UPDATE Issued at 920 PM CDT Fri Apr 22 2022 High wind gusts have been reported as far west as Scottsbluff this evening. A High Wind Warning is now in effect for all of western and ncntl Nebraska until 6 am CDT...the time a Pacific cold front exit ncntl Nebraska. The passage of the front will mark the end of this high wind event. UPDATE Issued at 903 PM CDT Fri Apr 22 2022 A thunderstorm across Blaine county started a grass fire this evening. The Red Flag Warning for western and ncntl Nebraska has been extended in time until 6 am CDT...the approximate time the thunderstorms will exit the region. UPDATE Issued at 737 PM CDT Fri Apr 22 2022 A forecast update is in place for widespread blowing dust across much of wrn and ncntl Nebraska. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night) Issued at 344 PM CDT Fri Apr 22 2022 Fire weather concerns continue Saturday as strong northwest winds develop along with dry air. The concern will be for areas especially south of I-80. A fire weather section below has more detailed information regarding the fire potential. Potent upper trough is evident on WV imagery moving this afternoon moving across Utah. Surface low pressure is in the process of rapidly deepening across the Nebraska Panhandle ahead of this feature. This is resulting in a tight east-west pressure gradient across the Plains. Strong southerly low-level flow is helping transport quality Gulf moisture/humidity northward into the region. A dry line has become established across western Kansas into western Nebraska with a warm front located near the NE/SD border. An EML has overspread the area and resulting in a capping inversion across the region. CAMS are reflecting this and do not give much support of development near the warm front late this afternoon, but continue to focus more on the dry line across western Kansas for at least isolated convective development around 23Z-01Z timeframe. By early evening, soundings are very favorable for supercells along the HWY 83 corridor and vicinity as winds in the low-levels begin to back slightly to the southeast. This coincides with a westward retreating dry line with a surge of lower 60s dew point into western Nebraska. The isolated convection in western Kansas could grow upscale into a couple of supercells as it travels northeastward into southwest and central Nebraska during the evening. The other focus will be along the surging cold front that essentially meets the westward retreating dry line mid-evening across west central Nebraska. This is about the time that the best forcing arrives, and should see the rapid development of a squall line take shape along the cold front/dry line. This line is then expected to advance quickly eastward across the area overnight. This line will be pushing into a favorable environment with a strong southerly LLJ, etc. It appears that the line could remain near- surface based due to the rapid increasing low-level moisture and strong southerly winds and mixing through the boundary layer. This scenario could lead to the potential for an isolated tornado along the leading edge of the line. Regardless, strong winds will be likely as 55-65 kt low level jet could lead to gusts nearing 60 mph (even well ahead of the line) as the strong winds mix to the surface. The upper low will move northeast across South Dakota on Saturday. Gusty northwest winds develop Saturday through Saturday night and then begin to decrease on Sunday. Bufkit sounding profile data indicates the potential for 55 mph gusts. Threat for light wrap- around rain or snow, mostly across northwest Nebraska. We'll have to watch the higher elevation of the Pine Ridge where 1-3" of wet snow could accumulate. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 344 PM CDT Fri Apr 22 2022 Upper level ridging looks to dominate the weather for much of the upcoming week. Temperatures will be above normal by the middle of the week. The airmass will be dry the first half of the week. Some wind is expected during this time which could lead to potentially more fire weather concerns. It doesn't appear though that winds will be near as strong this coming week as they have been the last several. Upper troughing takes shape across the western CONUS late in the week. This should allow for some return flow of Gulf moisture through the Plains by late in the week, possibly leading to at least a slight chance for rainfall/thunderstorms. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night) Issued at 1244 AM CDT Sat Apr 23 2022 A line of thunderstorms associated with a cold front will continue to move east across the forecast area through the early morning hours. LLWS will be present in areas near the cold front passage. Periods of MVFR conditions will be possible within some of the storms due to low ceilings and reduced visibility. Gusty and erratic winds are the main concern for these storms. Winds will shift from the south ahead of the front to the west and northwest behind the front and remain gusty through the forecast period. MVFR conditions may develop in areas of northern Nebraska including KVTN in the evening due to lower ceilings and reduced visibility. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 344 PM CDT Fri Apr 22 2022 Critical fire weather conditions will continue across the area through mid evening as strong southerly winds will increase into the evening hours. By mid evening, some wind gusts may top 60 MPH. Any fire starts will quickly spread and will be difficult to control. Later this evening, a squall line is expected to develop in the vicinity of highway 61. This line of storms will track quickly east into the overnight hours. Moisture will be limited with this line of storms, so there may be dry lightning strikes this evening and overnight. Behind the squall line, gusty westerly winds are expected overnight and some gusts may reach 50 MPH overnight. Windy conditions will continue into Saturday with elevated to near critical fire weather conditions. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... High Wind Warning until 6 AM CDT /5 AM MDT/ early this morning for NEZ004>010-022>029-035>038-056>059-069>071-094.

Severe thunderstorms capable of large hail and wind damage are possible across western and north central Nebraska overnight. Isolated tornadoes are possible and the area of concern is generally along and south of Interstate 80. A High Wind Warning is now in effect across all of western and north central Nebraska until 6 am CDT, 5 am MDT. The concern is south winds 30 to 40 mph gusting to 65 mph. Critical fire weather conditions are likely overnight. The concern is strong winds and lightning induced wildfires. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. Saturday, winds switch to northwesterly behind a powerful cold front and continue to be strong with gusts to 50 mph possible. Additional moisture appears likely for the northern Sandhills, where some of the precipitation will fall as snow. Up to one inch of snow accumulation is possible near the Pine Ridge by early Sunday morning. In southwest Nebraska, drier air will result in elevated fire weather conditions. Sunday and beyond, temperatures begin a gradual warming trend while dry air returns. When combined with gusty winds, periodic fire weather concerns are anticipated. For now, Tuesday appears to be the driest and windiest day of the stretch. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is possible this evening.
