.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 255 PM CDT Sat Jun 11 2022

Low amplitude ridge building into the area today is bringing some
of the warmest temperatures of the season so far to eastern
Nebraska and western Iowa. June has been unremarkable for temps
so far. You'd have to go back 30 days to find the warmest day of
the season so far when most locations managed mid-90s on May 12th.
Sticky dewpoints are in the upper 60s and low 70s.

The short-term focus is on severe weather potential later this
afternoon and evening on the periphery of the upper ridge. With
this moist airmass warming quickly, we've got MLCAPE pushing 4000
J/kg across the heart of the area. Low level lapse rates will
push over 8C/km. Lowest 2000 feet of hodographs are eye-catching.
A weak boundary is sagging out of South Dakota and may serve as
the focus for initiation. Surface based discrete supercells are
expected to develop quickly after 21Z. Cells are expected to
produce a large hail threat with 2"+ hail a reasonable expectation
for the worst of them. A tornado or two seems quite possible.
Storms will be isolated and move south quickly. The threat may be
over for the Omaha metro by 6pm and out of the CWA by around 9pm.
They'll have a tendency to grow upscale and produce damaging wind
gusts as they push into Missouri.

Storms will also be producing heavy rain with PWAT values over
2", but with their quick progression and isolated nature, flooding
isn't expected.

Moist easterly flow and a shortwave riding across southern SoDak may
help develop low cigs early on Sunday morning, though they
shouldn't last long after sunrise. Isolated PoPs seem warranted in
northern zones.

Only a few high clouds will remain through the remainder of the
day and the powerful mid- June sun will drive temps to numbers at
or just above those noted this afternoon. Heat advisories have
been issued for areas on the other side of the Kansas state line.
Will hold off as this forecast doesn't quite push apparent
temperatures to 105 for most, though it'll be close in our
southern tier of counties. Night shift will have to consider
issuing for a couple of southern counties at least.

Convection should be limited through the afternoon and evening
with the cap in place, but isolated storms in western Nebraska in
the evening may coalesce into a line and produce a threat of
damaging wind gusts after midnight in northeast Nebraska. Plenty
of moving parts in that scenario, but most guidance basically
agrees.

Monday will be dry and hot. NAEFS ensembles show all 52 members
have low levels warmer than all values in the 1979-2009
climatology for mid-June... 00z and 12z both. It's an extreme
forecast for the time of year.

* Omaha's record of 101 is currently forecast to fall.
* Lincoln's record of 102 is, too.
* Norfolk may fall a degree shy.

This will be the warmest day of the season so far. It may be the
warmest day of the year. In the past 9 years, only once has Omaha
managed triple digits two or more times. (There were 11 instances
in 2012 when the drought monitor looked a lot like it currently
does.)

A cold front on Tuesday spoils the fun. Triple digits are possible
near Missouri with temps 10-15 degrees cooler in the northern
reaches of the CWA as the "cooler" air works in. A shortwave may
interact with the front and produce some rain and thunder Tuesday
night.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1212 PM CDT Sat Jun 11 2022

A wind shift will settle across the area today from north to south
and bring light and variable winds. Primary concern is threat of
severe storms late this afternoon and evening. Possible at KLNK
and KOFK, but have kept from TAF from now due to low chances. Went
with VCTS at KOMA from 21Z Saturday to 00Z Sunday.

Expect IFR cigs to develop at KOMA and KLNK from about 11Z Sunday
to 15Z. May even dip to FL004 (LIFR) at KLNK at that time.
