AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 300 AM CDT MON AUG 8 2005 .DISCUSSION... RAIN CHANCES WITH FRONTAL SYSTEMS ROLLING INTO THE PLAINS AT MID WEEK AND THIS WEEKEND ARE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS. FIRST CONCERN IS SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA THIS MORNING. A FEW FACTORS CAME TOGETHER TO TRIGGER THIS CONVECTION...WEAK MID LEVEL WAVE...SUBTLE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF UPPER JETLET...AND 14C DEW POINTS AT 850 NOSING INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA. WINDS WERE RELATIVELY LIGHT SO EXPECT ONLY A SLOW EASTWARD DRIFT TO THESE PULSE STORMS THIS MORNING. WILL LIKELY KEEP MENTION OF ISOLATED STORMS IN FAR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA ENDING BEFORE NOON. MID LEVEL WAVE AND ASSOCIATED CLOUDS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA THIS MORNING...ALLOWING DECENT WARM UP THIS AFTERNOON. SHOULD SEE HIGHS AT OR JUST ABOVE SUNDAYS READINGS...AND LATEST MOS NUMBERS AND CURRENT FORECAST CONCUR. SIMILAR HIGHS EXPECTED TUESDAY AHEAD OF NEXT POTENTIAL WEATHER MAKER SLIDING INTO THE NORTHWEST CWA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MODELS ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR IN DEPICTING WEAK COLD FRONT ENTERING THE CWA TUESDAY AFTERNOON...THEN DRIFTING THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. NAM AND GFS BOTH SHOW FRONT IN THE SOUTHERN CWA WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN DIVERGE AFTER THAT IN REGARDS TO LIFTING THE BOUNDARY NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR THURSDAY. HAVE EXPANDED PRECIP CHANCES TO COVER THE SOUTHERN CWA TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN LINGERED THE CHANCE INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING IN THE SOUTH. GFS THEN MAINTAINS MORE DISTINCT BOUNDARY SOUTH OF THE CWA WEDNESDAY... LENDING TO COOLER TEMPERATURES IN EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA. NAM TRIES TO WASH OUT THE FRONT...ALLOWING SOUTHERLY FLOW AND WARMER TEMPERATURES TO SURGE BACK NORTH. HAVE TRIED TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE SOLUTIONS FOR WEDNESDAY. THINK FRONT WILL BRIDGE NORTH FOR SURE WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR EARLY THURSDAY AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ROLLS THROUGH WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. A SERIES OF THESE SHORTWAVES WILL EVENTUALLY DRAG ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT SOUTH BY THIS WEEKEND. AHEAD OF IT...THE CHANCE FOR PRECIP LOOKS TO WANE A BIT...BUT UNCERTAINTY IN THIS SCENARIO PRECLUDES REMOVING GOING PRECIP CHANCES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BETTER CHANCES COME THIS WEEKEND AS COLD FRONT SLIPS SOUTH AND MORE POTENT MID LEVEL TROUGH ROLLS INTO THE PLAINS AS PER LATEST GFS AND ECMWF. MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES STILL LOOK ON TRACK FOR SUNDAY. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && DERGAN
