AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 250 AM CDT SUN JUN 22 2003 FORECAST CHALLENGE SURROUNDS THUNDERSTORM CHANCES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...AND POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER TODAY INTO TONIGHT. 06Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACED A SURFACE TROF FROM NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...WHILE AREA RADARS SHOWED MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EARLY THIS MORNING WAS LOCATED OVER NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO SOUTH DAKOTA. FIRST ISSUE WILL BE CONVECTION THIS MORNING. 00Z ETA LOOKS TO SUFFER BADLY FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK TODAY INTO TONIGHT...AND HAVE GONE CLOSER TO THE GFS. THE LOW LEVEL JET AND 850 MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS SUGGEST THE FAVORED AREA FOR CURRENT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO MOVE WILL BE MAINLY ACROSS EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO NORTH CENTRAL AND POSSIBLY NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. CORFIDI VECTORS WOULD ALSO SUGGEST MOVING CURRENT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO THE NORTHEAST WHICH AGAIN MAY CLIP THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA. WILL KEEP HIGHEST POPS IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA THIS MORNING TO COVER. PROBLEM THEN BECOMES POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE TROF IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST TODAY BRINGING LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE TO CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON. MOISTURE IS ALREADY IN PLACE WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS CURRENTLY IN THE MID 60S AND CAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST TO EXCEED 4000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES OF UP TO 40 KTS WOULD SUGGEST SUPERCELLS ARE A GOOD BET. SPC NEW DAY 1 OUTLOOK ALSO HAS THE ENTIRE CWA IN A MODERATE RISK...SO WILL ADD MENTION OF POSSIBLE SEVERE IN THE ZONES FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ON MONDAY...IT APPEARS THAT A RATHER STRONG CAP SHOULD BE IN PLACE ACROSS MOST OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA AS 700 MB TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE +12 TO +14 CELSIUS RANGE. CURRENT FORECAST IS DRY BASED ON THE CAP HOLDING...AND WILL CONTINUE A DRY FORECAST DURING THE DAY...BUT AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT NORTHEAST NEBRASKA WHICH WILL BE CLOSER TO THE CAPS EDGE AND IN AN AREA OF BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. HAVE THEN HELD ONTO POPS MONDAY NIGHT AS THE CAP WEAKENS A BIT...WITH AGAIN THE BEST CHANCES OVER NORTHEAST NEBRASKA IN THE AREA OF STRONGER LOW LEVEL FORCING. MADE FEW CHANGES TO THE OUTER PERIODS WITH A BOUNDARY STILL AFFECTING THE AREA TUESDAY INTO WEDNEDAY...AND THEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS SOUTH FOR THURSDAY. .OMA...NONE. KING

SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY...WITH THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS BEING VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES. THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE...AND AFTERNOON HEATING WILL DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE EVEN FURTHER. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING NORTHEAST OUT OF EASTERN COLORADO AND WYOMING WILL HELP AID IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN MOVE EAST INTO WESTERN IOWA IN THE EVENING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE...WILL CONTINUE MONDAY EVENING INTO TUESDAY AS VERY UNSTABLE AIR REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...HOWEVER IT IS TOO SOON TO DETERMINE THE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS TIME. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... STORM SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. GRIFFIS
