.DISCUSSION...
    THE SURFACE FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA BY LATE THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY IN CENTRAL
AND SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA, WHILE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE
EXPECTED IN THE REST OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. STORMS
WILL TAPER OFF IN THE NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AFTER MIDNIGHT.THE
FRONT WILL BE A LITTLE SLOWER CLEARING THE PANHANDLE, SO
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH TUESDAY THERE.

    FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM,
BUT A RETURN TO 100S IS NOT EXPECTED.
    RETURN FLOW FROM THE TEXAS GULF COAST WILL BEGIN BRINGING
MOISTURE TO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS BY SATURDAY EVENING. WITH
CONVERGENCE ALONG A SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVING INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA
SATURDAY NIGHT, A MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE APPROPRIATE FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY, AND FAVORING THE DIURNAL PRIME TIMES
OF EVENING AND LATE NIGHT. HOWEVER, CONDENSATION DEFICITS IN THE
LOWER LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 150-250MB SO, FOR THE TIME BEING,
WE WILL KEEP THE MENTION OUT OF MOST OF THE AREA UNTIL SUNDAY
NIGHT.

.SYNOPSIS...
    ANALYSIS OF 18Z SURFACE DATA SHOWS THE COLD FRONT HAS COME INTO
NORTHERN NEBRASKA TO JUST NORTH OF NORFOLK AND BROKEN BOW AND JUST
SOUTH OF THEDFORD AND CHADRON. THE KLNX WSR-88D SHOWS A LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS JUST NORTH OF THE APPARENT LOCATION OF THE SURFACE
FRONT. BECAUSE OF CLOUD COVER, THE GOES SOUNDER DERIVED PRODUCT
IMAGERY IS NOT MUCH HELP.
