AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 330 PM CDT FRI JUN 11 2004 .DISCUSSION... FCST CHALLENGES INCLUDE POSSIBLE TSTM REDEVELOPMENT TDA...MNLY ERN ZONES AND THEN POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN EVENT SOMEWHERE IN THE PLAINS AND POSSIBLY OVER PARTS OF OAX CWA SAT/SAT NIGHT. SHORT TERM...BULK OF THE CONVECTION HAD LIFTED NE OF FCST AREA AS OF 08Z AS UPR VORT LOBE PIVOTS NE. HOWEVER...LOW LVL MOISTURE AXIS REMAINED POINTED FM KS INTO SCNTRL/SERN NEBR AND NEW CONVECTION WAS DVLPG S OF FCST AREA. THUS WL PRBLY MAKE A FEW LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENTS TO GRID POPS/COVERAGE BASED ON LATEST TRENDS. WARMER MID LVL TEMPS/CAP SPREADING INTO SERN NEBR MAY LIMIT CONVECTION SRN ZONES...BUT GENERALLY WL KEEP SOME MENTION OF CONVECTION ALL ZONES THIS MORNING. THIS AFTN IS A LTL TOUGHER AS BOTH GFS/ETA PULL QPF E OF CWA BY 00Z BUT TROF/DRYLINE DOES NOT REACH MO RIVER UNTIL AROUND MID AFTN. THIS LOOKS REASONABLE GIVEN DRIER AIR HAS ONLY A WEAK TO MODERATE PUSH BEHIND IT NOW. SO WL KEEP SLGT CHC OF TSTMS FOR THE COUNTIES BORDERING THE MO RIVER THIS AFTN AND BOOSTED THEM SLIGHTLY FAR ERN ZONES. DRYING CONDS...DOWNSLOPE WINDS AND STILL WARM 850 MB TEMPS SHOULD ALLOW READINGS TO REACH WARMER GFS GUIDANCE THIS AFTN AND RAISED MOST HIGHS A LTL. PUSH OF DRIER/SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR APPEARS IT WL STALL OUT NR SRN BORDER LATE TNGT AS IT LOSES IT UPR SUPPORT THAT WL BE DRIVING IT EWD/SEWD TDA. MODEL DIFFERENCES BTWN GFS/ETA DO NOT ADD MUCH CONFIDENCE TO PIN ANYTHING DOWN YET...BUT PREV FCST HAD HEALTHY POPS WHICH LOOK GOOD. 00Z ETA WAS SLGHTLY FASTER WITH MOISTURE RETURN ALTHOUGH IT BACKED OFF SLIGHTLY AT 06Z. NONETHELESS...ADDED SLGT CHC TO FAR SRN COUNTIES BEGINNING 12Z SAT. LOW LVL JET WL BE FEEDING INTO ANCHORED FRONT LATE SATURDAY WITH GFS SOLUTION FOCUSING MORE OF THE HEAVY RAIN ON OUR CWA AS IT ATTEMPTS TO LIFT FNT AND MOISTURE N. SINCE ETAS SWD PLACEMENT RMNS POSSIBLE DIDNT MENTION HEAVY RAIN YET. TEMPERATURES WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDANT ON HOW WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OR DEBRIS CLOUDS ARE IN THE SAT TO MON PD SO MADE LTL CHANGES. AS PER PREVIOUS DISC...TIMING OF SHORTWAVES WILL REMAIN DIFFICULT THRU THAT PD BUT ADDED PCPN CHCS SUN NGT AS SOME SORT OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY WL LIKELY RMN IN VCNTY. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF SUPPORT MILD AND DRIER AIR SPREADING OVR CWA ON TUE AND THUS TRIMMED BACK TEMPS A LTL. READINGS SHOULD RETURN BACK TO NEAR NORMAL WED AND KEPT SMALL POPS IN THU FOR CONTINUITY. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && CHERMOK
