Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 12:34 PM MDT, 4 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 134 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 133 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 Early afternoon satellite imagery and observations show no shortage of boundaries across central and western Nebraska with an old lingering frontal boundary extending from SD into central/eastern Nebraska, a north-south inverted trof/dryline across western Nebraska, and numerous convective outflow boundaries floating around. Instability has been pooling all morning with CAPE values ranging from 1500J/kg north to 2500J/kg south, and the cap largely eroded north of I-80. Expect convective initiation will occur upstream as numerous short waves evident in water vapor move over the frontal boundary this afternoon and evening. 0-3km bulk shear vectors of 30kt to 40kt appear to have a favorable enough orientation to the boundary for discrete cells that will propagate southeastward along the boundary and into central Nebraska, likely also encountering old convective outflow boundaries from morning convection still percolating across northeast Nebraska. With slight differences in location and timing, mesoscale guidance is in fairly good agreement advertising has a strong signal for more than one supercell to move along the boundary with the full suite of hail, wind, and possibly tornadic severe threats in play before convection pushes clear of the region to the southeast before Midnight. Not much of a ow level jet tonight to fuel vigorous convection overnight but expect some showers/thunder will be stewing around through daybreak. We finally get a good kicker to boot the lingering frontal boundary to our south as a good amount of short wave energy starts moving the axis of the upper short wave eastward. However before this can take place, the convective environment remains quite favorable for another round of severe storms tomorrow afternoon and evening. Instability south of highway 2 will be quite robust and will support some big hail with abundant shear for organized convection. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 133 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 Wednesday looks to be a dry day as the axis of the departing upper trof moves to our east and high pressure builds in at the surface. However this break will be brief as the surface high moves off to our east and pushes a warm front into the region with showers and thunderstorms by Wednesday night. The lingering warm front will then serve as a focus for convection on Thursday with significant instability pooling along the boundary in a highly sheared environment. Expect a severe threat of hail, wind, and with 0-3km bulk shear vectors approaching 50kts and just enough angle of attack relative to the boundary to support a tornado threat as well into Thursday evening. Will be watching evolution of parameters closely over the next few days. Ensemble guidance remains in good agreement in building a ridge over the western US through the weekend before another large upper trof starts building into the PacNW as we head into next week. The axis of the upper ridge looks to be a bit further west and this will result in systems spilling over the ridge in northwest flow with a surface boundary meandering across the High Plains. This will keep at least a low chance of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast each day thorugh the weekend but do not expect any day to be a washout. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1229 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop by late afternoon and continue into the evening hours. Some thunderstorms may be severe with very large hail and damaging winds as the primary threats. Visibility reductions should be expected in heavy rainfall from these storms. Storms may linger through Tuesday morning with a brief break by late morning. Additional thunderstorm chances are expected Tuesday afternoon and evening. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SHORT TERM...MBS LONG TERM...MBS AVIATION...Kulik
