SYNOPSIS...LATEST SUBJECTIVE SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED THE BOUNDARY BTWN ANW AND ONL WITH A LO CNTR IN SE SD. SFC TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE UPR 80S TO LOWER 90S. SFC DEWPOINTS AT YKN/OKF/OLU WERE IN THE LOWER 60S.

A COMPARISON OF THE SFC PATTERNS HAVE THE SFC FNT SLIPPING FURTHER INTO NE NEB BEFORE LIFTING N INTO SD. THIS FNT IS FCST TO RMN TO THE N OF THE FCST AREA KEEPING THE CWFA IN THE HOT AIR UNTIL ITS PASSAGE. TONIGHT MUCH OF THE FCST AREA IS UNDER THE SLIGHT RISK. BELIEVE BEST RISK FOR SVR TO BE IN NE NEB. AS THIS IS WHERE THE BEST CONVERGENCE...UVV...UPR LVL JET SUPPORT...AND INSTABILITY IS. CORFIDI VECTORS INITIALLY HAVE STORMS LIFTING NE...THEN AFT 06Z SE. DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS...THE REDEVELOPMENT AND REPEATED PASSAGE OF STORMS...AND HIGH PWS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR HEAVY RAIN. PER COORD WITH FSD...THEY HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WHICH MAY COME TO YKN. FFG FOR OUR NRN COUNTIES ARE IN THE 2-3 INCH RANGE AND IT HAS BEEN VERY DRY IN THAT PORTION OF THE STATE...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME LOCALIZED RAINS THIS PAST WEEK. WITH THIS IN MIND...HAVE NOT GONE WITH A WATCH AS BELIEVE THE BETTER RISK WILL BE A LITTLE FARTHER N. EXPECT SOME OF THESE STORMS TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN AND HAVE INDICATED THIS IN THE ZONES. HAVE SOME RISK OF TSRA FARTHER S AS THEY WILL TURN SE...BEST CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE AXIS IN SD THOUGH. LOWS TON IN THE 60S. FOR SAT/SUN...HOT TEMPS TO REMAIN OF THE FCST AREA AND HIGHER DEWPOINTS TO FIND THEIR WAY N WITH WINDY CONDITION EACH DAY. WILL CONTINUE TO GO ABOVE GUID ON TEMPS.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE AREA UNTIL 11 PM CDT. SPOTTERS MAY BE NEEDED AS FAR SOUTH AS DAVID CITY AND THE OMAHA AREA LATER TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FRONT CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO FAR SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA WILL ACT AS A TRIGGER FOR THUNDERSTORMS. MOISTURE AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ARE CONCENTRATED NEAR THE FRONT... WHICH WILL INCREASE INSTABILITY NEARBY. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY CONTAIN STRONG WINDS OR LARGE HAIL. THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTH DURING THE EVENING HOURS... BUT BEGIN TO MOVE BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE TONIGHT. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE FRONT WILL MOVE AS FAR SOUTH AS EAST CENTRAL NEBRASKA BEFORE RETURNING NORTH. HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA...SINCE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO BE CROSSING THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. LOCALIZED FLOODING IS POSSIBLE. FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH INTO THE DAKOTAS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE THREAT OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS OR SEVERE WEATHER IN EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA.
