Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 1:49 AM CST, 8 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 249 AM CDT TUE JUN 7 2005 .DISCUSSION... IN THE SHORT TERM...CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES MOVING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS MORNING NOW HEADING INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. ACTIVITY IS BEING ENHANCED VIA STRONG ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND A WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE STATE. EXPECT CLUSTER WILL DIE OFF TOWARD MID/LATE MORNING WHEN MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE WEAKENS CONSIDERABLY. OTHERWISE...WARM TEMPS ON TAP FOR TODAY ACROSS THE CWA. WILL FOLLOW SLIGHTLY WARMER MET GUID AS SOUTHERLY WINDS KICK. MODELS SHOW CONSIDERABLE MOISTURE TRANSPORT THROUGH THE DAY TODAY WITH 70 DEGREE BOUNDARY LAYER DEW POINTS REACHING THE SOUTHERN CWA BY DAYS END. BOTTOM LINE IS UNCOMFORTABLE...MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON. PCPN CHANCES TONIGHT...PER LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS...APPEAR TO BE NOT AS GREAT OVER THE CWA AS THEY WERE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS. MATTER OF FACT...NEITHER PAINT ANY QPF ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. NAM & GFS FOCUS BEST CHANCES NORTH OF THE CWA ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CENTER MOVES INTO EASTERN SD. STILL...THINK THERE IS ENOUGH CAUSE TO BE CONCERNED FOR SOME PCPN DEVELOPMENT AS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH NEBRASKA OVERNIGHT AND GREETS A QUITE MOIST AIR MASS IN PLACE. LIMITING FACTOR THOUGH MAY BE CAPPING AFFECTS... PARTICULARLY SOUTH...AS LS INDICES ARE GENERALLY ABOVE 2-3 DEGREES. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING THE COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO SWEEP THROUGH THE CWA. HOWEVER MODELS SHOW IT STALLING OUT FROM ABOUT CNTRL IA INTO NRN MO...AND THEN TO SRN KS IN THE AFTERNOON...THEN MAKING A MOVE BACK NORTHWARD INTO THE CWA BY AFTERNOON AS LEESIDE SURFACE LOW SPINS UP IN WESTERN KS AND STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS KICK IN ACROSS THE PLAINS. PLENTY OF MOISTURE IS PROGGED TO ADVECT BACK INTO THE CWA AS PWS APPROACH 1.8. WILL THEREFORE FOCUS POPS OVER THE SOUTHERN CWA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. PCPN CHANCES CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE MODELS SHOW THE BOUNDARY MEANDERING ACROSS THE CWA. PROGGED MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE RATHER PRONOUNCED OVERNIGHT... ENHANCING PCPN CHANCES. ON THURSDAY...BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO EXTEND RIGHT ACROSS THE CWA IN ASSOCIATION WITH SURFACE LOW IN WRN KS. STILL ADEQUATE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH SO PCPN CHANCES CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS...MEAN TROF OVER THE WESTERN CONUS ALONG WITH AMPLE GULF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE OUTER PERIODS. HARD TO PIN DOWN WHERE BEST CHANCES WILL BE DURING THIS TIME FRAME WITH MEANDERING BOUNDARIES AND IMPULSES PASSING THROUGH THE FLOW. THEREFORE WILL BLANKET CWA WITH SMALL POPS TO COVER UNCERTAINTIES. .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && DEE
