Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 2:13 AM CST, 8 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA NE 313 AM CDT TUE JUN 12 2001 MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE THUNDERSTORMS AND TEMPERATURES. IN THE SHORT TERM...RUC HAS DONE THE BEST JOB WITH CONVECTION... ORRECTLY LEAVING OUR CWA CAPPED OVERNIGHT. IT INDICATES INCREASING 850 WINDS FROM THE S THIS MRNG WITH N/S MOISTURE AXIS FROM SRN PLAINS TO CNTRL/E NEBRASKA INTERSECTING THE MAIN E/W AXIS FROM NORTHEAST NEB INTO SRN WI...WITH VERY STRON THETA E ADVN FROM N CNTRL NEB INTO SERN SD. THIS SUGGESTS THAT SFC FRONT CURRENTLY LNK AND OMA VCNTY WILL BEGIN MOVING NORTH...AND CURRENT TSTMS IN WESTERN NEB WILL TEND TO DEVELOP NORTHEAST INTO BEST THETA E ADVN...POSSIBLY CLIPPING OUR NW COUNTIES. HOT TEMPS IN LOW-MID 90S SHOULD PREVAIL AGAIN TODAY ALONG AND S OF THE SFC FRONT. 850 TEMPS ARE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN YDA...BUT NOT MUCH. FRONT MAY NOT MAKE IT THRU FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES. WILL BE INFLUENCED BY 06Z MESOETA WHEN AVBL. THREAT VERY STRONG CONVECTION DEVELOPS BY LATE AFTN NEAR AND N OF THE FRONT AS INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND HOT CAP AT MID LEVELS RESULT IN VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS. AM IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH SPC SCENARIO...BUT FEEL THAT CAP IS LIKELY TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH BEST CONVECTIVE THREAT SOMEWHAT FARTHER NORTH. WHILE CONVECTIVE THREAT CONTINUES IN THE NORTH TONIGHT...CENTRAL AND SRN ZONES LOOK QUITE WARM WITH MID LEVEL CAP HOLDING AND STRONG LLJ DEVELOPING. SE AND CENTRAL ZONES APPEAR TO HAVE BEST CHC TSTMS WED AFTERNOON AND NIGHT AS 850 MB MOIST AXIS MOVES SLOWLY EWD INTO THE AREA...700 CAP ERODES...AND UPPER DIVERGENCE IS SUGGESTED WITH VIGOROUS CLOSED 500 MB LOW APPROACHING ALONG WITH FAVORABLE QUAD OF JET SPEED MAX. NW ZONES APPEAR TO HAVE A LOWER POP AS SFC FRONT PASSES THRU EARLIER IN THE DAY. THE TIMING OF THIS FRONT IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN BY THEN...HOWEVER...AND MODELS DIFFER SUBSTANTIALLY IN DETAILS.) THEY HAVE TENDED TO BE TOO FAST RECENTLY...BUT NEW ETA ACTUALLY SPED UP WEST COAST SYSTEM FROM PREVIOUS RUN...AND NEW MRF/AVN ARE FASTER THAN ECMWF. NO BIG CHANGES TO EXTENDED. .OMA...NONE. POLLACK

A WARM FRONT IS FORECAST TO LIFT INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON. HOT...HUMID AND UNSTABLE AIR WILL BUILD TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT...BUT THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SUPPRESSED BY A CAP OF WARM AIR ALOFT. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT THIS CAP WILL BE BROKEN IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA IN THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING... ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM SCHUYLER TO DECATUR. IT IS LESS LIKELY THAT THE CAP WILL BREAK TO THE SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. DUE TO THE MOIST AND VERY UNSTABLE AIR BELOW THE CAP...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO BECOME SEVERE. THE GREATEST THREATS WILL BE FROM LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...BUT ENOUGH WIND SHEAR WILL BE AVAILABLE IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA FOR TORNADOES TO BEY POSSIBLE. POLLACK
