AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
229 PM CDT WED JUN 13 2001

...POPS FIRST THREE PERIODS WILL BE THE CHALLENGE...

UPPER PATTERN FEATURES A LARGE SLOW MOVING CLOSED LOW OVER THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES AND A LARGE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN STATES. AT THE
SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED NEAR YKN SD WITH A TRAILING COLD
FRONT INTO THE OK/TX PANHANDLES WHERE ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE CENTER
IS EVOLVING.

MODELS HAVE REMAINED IN AGREEMENT FOR SEVERAL RUNS CONCERNING RAPID
INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND DEVELOPING PRECIP OVER THE CWA TONIGHT. VERY
STRONG WAVE IS EXPECTED TO EJECT FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED CLOSED
LOW. SIGNIFICANT COUPLET OF PV ADVECTION/UPPER DIVERGENCE/MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE CWA TONIGHT AS THE MAIN
PV LOBE DIGS INTO COLORADO. SURFACE LOW HAS BEEN RESOLVED TO SHIFT
FROM SOUTHEASTERN CO TO SOUTHERN NEBRASKA BETWEEN 00Z AND 12Z
THURSDAY. STRONG UPGLIDE ALSO INDICATED OVER THE AREA TONIGHT AT
THE ONSET OF THE EXPECTED PRECIP...EVIDENCE THAT MOIST/UNSTABLE AIR
WILL WRAP NORTH AND WEST OF SURFACE LOW AS IT DEEPENS. THUS HIGH POPS
FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST WILL BE MAINTAINED.

NOT MUCH CHANGE THURSDAY. UPGLIDE WILL TAPER OFF BUT EXCELLENT PV
ADVECTION/UPPER DIVERGENCE/MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS COUPLET EXPECTED
TO PERSIST AND MAINTAIN DEEP LAYER VERTICAL MOTION WITHIN HIGH
MOISTURE WRAP AROUND REGION. THUS HIGH POPS WILL REMAIN IN THE
FORECAST. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST
THROUGHOUT THE CWA AS THE SURFACE LOW LIFTS THROUGH EASTERN NEBRASKA
INTO SOUTH DAKOTA. MODEL WIND AND Q-VEC FORECASTS FROM SFC TO H85
LAYER SUGGESTS AT LEAST WINDY CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP IN LEE OF
SURFACE LOW WITH TIGHT GRADIENT AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE.

UPPER AND SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT INTO SD/MN THURSDAY
NIGHT SUCH THAT PRECIP SHOULD END IN NORTH CENTRAL ZONES AROUND
06Z. STRONG LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING FARTHER TO THE
SOUTHWEST WITH A DRY FORECAST. GRADIENT SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT
DECOUPLING AND WILL STAY NEAR GUIDANCE MINS.

MODELS RESOLVE LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT. UPPER LOW TO LIFT FARTHER AWAY AND HEIGHTS WILL
STEADILY RISE SUCH THAT FLAT RIDGING WILL BE CENTERED ALONG THE
DIVIDE BY 12Z SATURDAY. WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN. THINK WARMEST
GUIDANCE MAXES ON FRIDAY ARE REASONABLE GIVEN FULL SUNSHINE AND
WESTERLY COMPONENT TO LOW LEVEL FLOW.

IN THE EXTENDED...ESSENTIALLY NO CHANGE TO PREVIOUS EXTENDED
FORECAST. RIDGING AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND GENERALLY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. PASSING WAVES MONDAY
AND WEDNESDAY MAY INITIATE CONVECTION AND A MENTION IS IN THE
FORECAST. FSEASONABLE TEMPS EXPECTED.

.LBF...NONE.
