Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 1:15 PM CST, 7 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 215 PM CDT FRI JUN 24 2005 .DISCUSSION... THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FROM NOW THROUGH SATURDAY IS THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM. SURFACE ANALYSIS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWED A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM NWRN IA INTO LOW PRES OVER KS NEAR KHLC. THIS WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION OVERNIGHT. WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED A WEAK TROPICAL CONNECTION OF MOISTURE FROM MEXICO THRU CO...THEN INTO THE DKTS AND MN. WRN AND NRN NE WERE ALSO IN THIS MOIST PLUME. 18Z OAX SOUNDING WAS NOT A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE 12Z VERSION...BUT DID HAVE MORE MOISTURE AROUND 550 MB AND PRECIPITABLE WATER HAD INCREASED TO A LITTLE OVER 1.40 INCHES. 12Z GFS AND NAM MODELS WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH FRONTAL LOCATION...BUT DID NOT AGREE ON THE GENERATION OF PCPN TONIGHT. GFS TRIES TO FOCUS ACTIVITY IN THE NORTH AND CENTRAL WHILE THE NAM SUGGEST CENTRAL AND THEN SOUTH. A BLEND OF THE TWO HAS BEEN USED FOR OVERNIGHT...SINCE A COMPROMISE OF THEIR SURFACE PATTERN VERIFIED BEST AT 18Z. BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE BY 06Z. UNTIL THEN...SOME SUPERCELL STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE... WITH STRONG WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THE FREEZING LEVEL IS AND SHOULD REMAIN PRETTY HIGH...SO IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO GET LARGE HAIL...BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. ACTIVITY SHOULD TRY TO FOCUS MAINLY IN NRN IA AFTER 06Z AS LOW LEVEL JET VEERS. IN REGARDS TO SATURDAY...A LOT DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS OVERNIGHT. WILL STAY WITH SCENARIO OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY PROBABLY FROM NWRN KS TO SRN IA INITIALLY...BUT TRYING TO LIFT NORTH DURING THE DAY. INCREASED POPS A LITTLE FOR SATURDAY. THE FRONT SHOULD LIFT EVEN FARTHER NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. LEFT HIGHER POPS OVER THE NRN ZONES FOR SATURDAY NIGHT...THEN HAVE SUNDAY DRY AS THE BETTER PARAMETERS SHIFT INTO ND AND NRN MN WITH THE FRONT. HOT CONDITIONS APPEAR ON TAP FOR SUNDAY...AND LEFT HIGHS RANGING FROM THE LOWER TO MID 90S. BEST FOCUS FOR PCPN WILL BE TO OUR NORTH AND WEST SUNDAY NIGHT...SO KEPT FORECAST DRY. HOWEVER... THE PATTERN SHOWS A 40 TO 50 KT LOW LEVEL JET AND FAIRLY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THAT IS FAVORABLE FOR ACCAS DEVELOPMENT WHICH COULD DEVELOP INTO ISOLATED STORMS. COLD FRONT WILL TRY TO PUSH IN FROM THE NW MONDAY NIGHT...SO FELT AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE WAS NEEDED. BETTER CHANCE SHOULD COME MID WEEK WHEN ECMWF AND GFS BOTH BRING A FAIRLY STRONG DISTURBANCE UP FROM THE SW. AFTER THAT PASSES...IT LOOKS DRY WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES. .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && MILLER
