AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 255 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2005 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION TONIGHT...THEN RAIN CHANCES THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...ARE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS. MORNING CONVECTION HAS PUSHED NORTHEAST OF THE CWA...HOWEVER ONGOING SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHWEST HAVE INTENSIFIED OVER THE LAST HOUR. MORE ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS WERE NOTED IN CENTRAL KANSAS AHEAD OF MID LEVEL WAVE LIFTING NORTH. SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY IS NOT THAT GREAT AHEAD OF SURFACE BOUNDARY STRETCHING NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE CWA...HOWEVER COOLING ALOFT WILL PRODUCE INCREASINGLY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPS RATES. HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND THUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM FOR THE SOUTHWEST CWA. A SECOND ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS LIKELY LATER TONIGHT AS CONVECTION FIRING ON A DRY LINE IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS IS DIRECTED NORTHEAST AHEAD OF ANOTHER MID LEVEL WAVE ROTATING INTO THE PLAINS. AGAIN THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE ELEVATED WITH HAIL A POSSIBILITY. 12Z/18Z NAM RUNS ARE SHOWING 1000-1500 J/KG ELEVATED CAPE ROLLING INTO THE SOUTHERN CWA AFTER 06Z WITH 60KTS OF BULK SHEAR. SO SOME CONCERN SURFACE-BASED STORMS COULD GET GOING OVER THE SOUTHERN CWA TOWARD MORNING. THE FORECAST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WILL BE DOMINATED BY UPPER LOW WANDERING THROUGH THE PLAINS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. MODELS ARE SHOWING A REX BLOCK SITUATION JUST TO OUR EAST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. COOL MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL KEEP A CHANCE FOR THUNDER IN THE FORECAST THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE MORE OF A RAIN/SHOWER FORECAST CONCERN AS LOBES OF VORTICITY ROTATE AROUND UPPER LOW FROM THE EAST AND NORTHEAST. NAM AND GFS DIVERGE ON QPF AMOUNTS DURING THIS TIME FRAME...HOWEVER EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AROUND AT LEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE SOUTHWEST FLOW TAKES OVER ALOFT SIGNALING A SLIGHT WARMING TREND THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. MODELS AGAIN DIVERGE ON HANDLING OF UPPER LEVEL FEATURES FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. GFS SHOWS MORE SHORTWAVE ENERGY EJECTING INTO THE PLAINS...STARTING AS EARLY AS FRIDAY AND ESPECIALLY SATURDAY...AS COMPARED TO ECMWF. WITH DOUBTS ON WHEN REX BLOCK TO THE EAST WILL BREAK DOWN...AM MORE INCLINED TO SIDE WITH LESS SHORTWAVE ENERGY IN THE PLAINS THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER WILL HOLD OFF ON CHANGING FORECAST UNTIL A STRONGER SIGNAL IS SHOWN. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEK WILL START RELATIVELY COOL MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BUT STILL CLOSE TO NORMAL. A LITTLE WARMER FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW RETURNING. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && DERGAN
