AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
150 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2005

.DISCUSSION...
THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IS THE MAIN
FORECAST CONCERN.

ONGOING SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING IN A COUPLE OF AREAS.
FROM THE OMAHA METRO SOUTH...STORMS FIRED ON OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER
CONVECTION AND ALONG SURFACE WARM FRONT.  INTERSECTION OF THESE
FEATURES CAUSED MOST POTENT STORM OVER CASS COUNTY...WHICH THEN
PRODUCED MORE OUTFLOW-DRIVEN STORMS NEAR IT.  SECOND ARC OF SEVERE
STORMS FROM NORTHEAST NEBRASKA INTO WEST CENTRAL IOWA WAS FIRING IN
AREA OF ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE NORTH OF SURFACE FRONT.  AND MORE STORMS
WERE SPREADING FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO THE WESTERN CWA.  ALL OF
THESE AREAS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO SPAWN STORMS PAST SUNRISE...BUT
SEVERITY SHOULD DECREASE AS LOW LEVEL JET WEAKENS.  WILL CONTINUE
WITH AT LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS MORNING ACROSS ALL OF
THE CWA.

WHETHER STORMS WILL REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IS IN QUESTION.  LATEST
MODEL DATA SUGGESTS A POSSIBILITY...BUT THINK ATMOSPHERE WILL BE
WORKED OVER ENOUGH TO DELAY GREATER POTENTIAL UNTIL LATE IN THE
DAY.  WHERE SURFACE BOUNDARIES WILL FOCUS CONVECTION WILL HAVE TO BE
WORKED OUT AFTER MORNING CONVECTION IS OVER...BUT LOOKING AT LARGE
SCALE FEATURES POINTS TO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA BEING UNDER THE GUN FOR
MORE SEVERE STORMS NEAR NORTHWARD MOVING SURFACE BOUNDARY AND PEAK
HEATING.  WILL INTRODUCE POPS THERE FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

NEXT COLD FRONT WILL ROLL INTO THE PLAINS LATE TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY.  MODELS CONTINUE TO POINT NORTH OF THE CWA FOR BEST
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS.  WILL CONTINUE THE CHANCE FOR PRECIP
ACROSS ALL OF THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY...THINKING STRONGER STORMS WILL
FIRE IN SOUTHEAST ZONES WHERE FRONT WILL BE SWEEPING THROUGH DURING
AFTERNOON HEATING.

COOLER WEATHER SLATED BEHIND THIS FRONT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK
WITH RELATIVELY DRY WEATHER.  HAVE LEFT FORECAST ALONE FOR THE
WEEKEND.  MODELS STILL SHOWING NEXT FRONT SWEEPING INTO THE PLAINS
SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY...WHERE CURRENTLY HAVE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN.
HAVE CONTINUED TREND OF WARMING TEMPERATURES AHEAD OF THIS FRONT.

.OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

NE...NONE.
IA...NONE.
