Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 2:03 PM CST, 10 hours 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION ... CORRECTED HEADLINE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 303 PM CDT MON JUL 16 2001 MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE CONVECTIVE POSSIBILITIES TONIGHT...AND HEAT THEREAFTER. IN THE SHORT TERM...VERY HIGH MOISTURE WAS PRESENT IN THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS OF OAX 12Z SOUNDING. MODELS SUGGEST THAT WARM DRY AIR AT 700 MB OVR LBF IS ALREADY ADVECTING EASTWARD...BUT PROFILERS SHOW RATHER LIGHT WINDS...SO AIR SHOULD REMAIN MOIST AT THAT LEVEL THRU EARLY TONIGHT. UPPER LEVEL JET IS ALSO FAIRLY STRONG FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE MAIN NEGATIVE FACTOR FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS THAT LOW LEVEL HEATING HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED BY A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD CU FIELD AS MOISTURE STREAMS BACK INTO THE AREA...SO SOUNDINGS MAY REMAIN CAPPED. THE NORTHEAST APPEARS TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AS AREA OF MID LVL CLOUDS NEAR VTN AND ANW IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP INTO A TSTM COMPLEX THIS EVE THEN DRIFT EAST. EXPECT WARMING AND DRYING TREND ALOFT TO PUT A CAP ON ACTIVITY LATER TONIGHT. AM IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH SPC OUTLOOK...BUT AS IS OFTEN THE CASE IN JULY...THINK THAT BREAKING THE CAP AT ALL WILL BE A PROBLEM. MODELS HAVE COME INTO AGREEMENT THAT TUESDAY WILL BE VERY HOT AND HUMID. WITH THE HEAT INDEX IN OUR CORE URBAN AREAS EXPECTED TO REACH AROUND 110...AND 105 OR BETTER EVEN IN THE FRINGES OF THE CWA...WILL ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TUESDAY. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...HEAT INDICIES ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO DEW POINT. WITH SOME INDICATIONS OF DEEPER MIXING IN ETA AND NGM MODELS ON WED WITH FALLING SFC DEW POINTS...WILL NOT EXTEND HEAT ADVISORY INTO WED YET. AVN IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER MODELS IN DEVELOPING A DAYTIME MCS WITH EXTENSIVE CLOUDS AND COOLER TEMPS OVER THE AREA. THIS SEEMS AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO WITHOUGH A STRONG SHORT WAVE. WILL GO MOSTLY WITH THE HOT ETA/NGM SOLUTION. ETA DEVELOPS AN INVERTED V SOUNDING BY WED EVENING. IF HIGH DAYTIME TEMPS VERIFY...THIS IS WORTH AT LEAST A SLGT CHC OF TSTMS. WHERE THE HOTTEST 850 TEMPS UNDERLIE THE BEST MID LEVEL MOISTURE...IN MORE WESTERN ZONES...TSTMS COULD DEVELOP BEFORE DARK. SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE FOR NOCTURNAL TSTMS THOUGH. EXTENDED SHOULD REMAIN HOT UNTIL THE PATTERN SHIFTS...WHICH COULD COME WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT NEXT SUN OR MON. ECMWF HAS A BETTER TRACK RECORD THAN THE MRF RECENTLY. .OMA...HEAT ADVISORY TUESDAY EASTERN NEBRASKA AND PART OF SOUTHWEST IOWA POLLACK
