Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
1234 AM CDT Sat Jun 4 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022

An active short-term is expected through Saturday night. For
tonight...conditions remain marginal for severe thunderstorm
potential with the best instability located to the west of north
central Nebraska. A stray thunderstorm may clip the western counties
(eastern Panhandle) but severe storms will remain isolated. The main
concern with severe storms will be large hail and strong winds.
However, as storms move east into less stable air, heavy rain and
strong winds (but under severe criteria) will be the main threat.
Even then, the heavy rain potential is not expected to lead to
widespread flooding as QPF amounts remain near or below a half inch.
The issue will be this rain will come quickly in a short period,
leading to possible brief flooding that should recede quickly once
the shower or thunderstorm passes.

Dry weather returns for Saturday morning before the next round of
thunderstorms arrives Saturday afternoon and evening. Thunderstorm
potential Saturday will be associated with a low pressure system
moving across the northern US dragging a cold front across the
central US. For now, the latest SPC outlook has portions of north
central Nebraska in a marginal risk. There is still some
uncertainty in the location development of thunderstorms and model
timing. As such, there is a chance that the cold front may push far
enough south and east to keep any convection out of our area,
besides an isolated shower to two. On the other hand, if the front
slows on Saturday, a better chance of not only more widespread
severe storms may impacting a larger area of our forecast area, but
also an earlier initiation time (early afternoon). Regardless, steep
low level lapse rates and deep shear should support at least a few
thunderstorms across the region.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022

Continued thunderstorm chances are expected on Sunday. However, with
lingering convection through Saturday night and possible cloudiness
throughout much of Sunday, any shower activity will struggle to find
enough instability for widespread severe storms.

High pressure tries to build south into the region on Monday
bringing some relief to the active weather. The respite is brief as
the next disturbance moves into the area on Tuesday morning. There
is a chance of thunderstorms with this system Tuesday, but severe
storms is uncertain at this time. The chance of some stronger storms
is definitely possible though, as the shortwave trough moves off the
High Plains into the central Plains. Will wait a few more model runs
to see how instability progresses before determining the severe risk
with these storms.

Beyond Tuesday...some quieter weather returns for Wednesday before
rain and thunderstorm chances arrive again for the end of the week.
Have only put a mention into the forecast for these storms as it's
too early to foresee any details or severe potential at this point in
time. Stay tuned to later forecasts for more about the end week
thunderstorm potential.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1227 AM CDT Sat Jun 4 2022

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will continue across northern
Nebraska tonight and may possibly impact KVTN terminal. Across
southwest into central Nebraska, thunderstorms are expected to be
isolated. Winds overnight should be mostly light and variable,
with light winds remaining through the day, switching to the east
during the day. Mostly VFR conditions are expected over the next
24 hours. There is also a chance for isolated to scattered
thunderstorms Saturday late afternoon and evening.
