Area forecast discussion, Jul 24, 1:15 PM MST, 6 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 315 PM CDT TUE JUL 24 2001 ...LOCATION AND TIMING OF CONVECTION AND ITS EFFECT ON TEMPS THE MAIN CHALLENGES... UPPER AIR PATTERN REMAINS CHARACTERIZED BY AN ACTIVE NRN STREAM WHICH BEATS DOWN THE CENTAL PLAINS UPPER RIDGE. AT THE SFC...18Z SFC ANALYSIS HAS NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES...WITH THE MAIN FRONT STILL FROM SE NEBR INTO SW KANSAS...BUT PRESSURES FALLING IN NERN CO AS FLOW ALOFT INDUCES CYCLOGENESIS IN THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LOCATED IN THE SANDHILLS FROM MORNING CONVECTION...BUT CONVERGENCE ALONG IT...ACCORDING TO MSAS...WEAKENING AS SELRY FLOW SETS UP ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE CONSIDERING THE NOW BROAD AREA OF CAPPED CU ACROSS THE MIDDLE CWA. MODELS HAVE THEIR DIFFERENCES WITH TIMING OF CONVECTION THRU 48 HRS...BUT ARE REMARKABLE SIMILAR IN LOCATION...TO THE EXTENT RESOLUTION WILL SHOW. LIKE THE WAY ETA HAS HANDLED FEATURES OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS...AND WILL STICK WITH IT. TEMPS WERE USING A BLEND OF ETA SFC TEMPS AND NGM MOS...SINCE AVN MOS HAS BEEN TOO COOL FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW. SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE BEGINNING TO PULL UP THE WRN SIDE OF PLAINS STATES RIDGE...MOVING FROM NRN AZ INTO SWRN CO AS EVIDENCED BY WATER VAPOR LOOP AND DEVELOPING CONVECTION IN WRN CO/NM. THIS FEATURE PROGGED TO RIDE THE NEB/KS BORDER...DEVELOPING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX LATE TONIGHT AND MOVING EWD ALONG THE BORDER AS PER CORFIDI VECTORS. AM CONCERNED ABOUT HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL IN SRN 3 ZONES. CHASE COUNTY RECEIVED QUITE A BIT LAST NIGHT AS WELL. WILL MENTION THIS IN THOSE ZONES. SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION LIKELY TO DEVELOP IN ERN WY/NEBR PANHANDLE AND ALSO TRACK EWD...ALTHOUGH WEAKENING OVERNIGHT. FOLLOWED THIS IDEA FOR ZONE BREAKUP. ON WED...CONVECTION MAY BE ONGOING IN SRN ZONES FOR THE MORNING HOURS. AS NRN STREAM UPPER LOW PUSHES EWD ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER...HEIGHTS WILL RISE SOME IN THE NRN HIGH PLAINS. THIS SHOULD ALSO SHIFT THE FOCUS OF TSRA DEVELOPMENT MORE NWD. WITH SLIGHT NWRLY FLOW ALOFT...TSRA SHOULD THEN MOVE INTO NRN ZONES BY LATE AFTERNOON WED INTO WED NIGHT. SRN ZONES MAY ALSO HAVE A SHOT DUE TO CLOSE PROXIMITY OF FRONT...BUT WILL LEAVE POPS LOW SINCE THAT AREA WILL LIKELY BE WORKED OVER FROM EARLY MORNING CONVECTION. COOLER TEMPS PROGGED IN NERN CWA...BUT NOT DRAMATICALL SO. IN EXTENDED...SOME DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN MED RANGE MODELS. WILL LEAVE WMEEKEND DRY...AND ADD SLT CHC TO TUES. .LBF...NONE. JWS
