NWS Omaha, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 10, 2:06 PM CST, 10 hours 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA NE 306 PM CDT TUE APR 10 2001 PRIMARY CONCERNS ARE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH WED...RAINFALL...TEMPS...AND WINDS AS A MAJOR CYCLONE MOVES NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. IN THE SHORT TERM...VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR FROM AMA N.E. TO TOP AT 850 MB WAS UNDERESTIMATED BY MODELS. ETA AGAIN SEEMS TO LOSE SOME OF THE MOISTURE WHILE AVN REMAINS MOIST. THIS AIR ADVECTING NWD UNDER A SERIES OF RIPPLES IN THE UPPER JET HAS RESULTED IN REPEAT TSTM DEVELOPMENT AND SLOWED TIEH NWD ADVANCE OF THE WARM FRONT. AS THIS PROCESS IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE WITH UPPER DIFL LIKELY INCREASING AHEAD OF MAIN LOW OVERNIGHT...THE PROSPECTS FOR SVR WX WILL CONTINUE. ALSO THINK THE MODELS WILL REMAIN TOO FAST WITH THE WARM FRONT. FLOODING IS POSSIBLE...BUT STORMS SHOW FAST MOVEMENT...SO WILL NOT HEADLINE FOR NOW. ETA AND AVN ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON POSITIONS OF LOW AT SFC AND ALOFT THRU 36 HRS...WITH ETA FASTER AFTER THAT. DESPITE THESE SIMILARITIES...THE AVN IS FASTER IN LIFTING THE DRY SLOT INTO OUR AREA WEDNESDAY. WILL TAKE A COMPROMISE SOLUTION. WIND WILL ALSO BE A PROBLEM WED AND WED NIGHT AS THE STRONG LOW MOVES THROUGH ERN NEB THEN MN. GRADIENT DOES NOT LOOK QUITE AS TIGHT AS LAST SYSTEM...SO FAR. WINDS SHOULD DIE OUT GRADUALLY ON THU AS WINDS ARE COUNTERACTED BY A DYING GRADIENT. THU. NIGHT LOOKS COOL AND DRY PER GUIDANCE...WITH NO BIG CHANGES TO EXTENDED. .OMA...NONE. POLLACK
