.NEAR TERM...
THE BOUNDARY LAYER IN WESTERN NEBRASKA HAD BEEN PRETTY WELL
WORKED OVER WITH THE STORMS THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON...AND
WE WOULD EXPECT IT TO TAKE SOME TIME TO RELOAD. HOWEVER...NORTH
CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA NEBRASKA SHOWED SURFACE BASED
CONVECTIVE ENERGY ON THE ORDER OF 1200-2000J/KG EXTENDING INTO
EXTREME SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. LOOKING AT THE 18Z SURFACE BASED
CONVECTIVE ENERGY...IT APPEARS THAT THE STRONGEST CHANCES OF SEVERE
WEATHER ARE EAST OF A LINE FROM ONEILL THROUGH BROKEN BOW TO
IMPERIAL. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES ARE ALREADY IN EFFEC FOR MUCH
OF THAT AREA. WE WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE NEED FOR ONE FARTHER
WEST MUGHT BE REQUIRED AS THE STORMS COME OUT OF NORTHEAST COLORADO.
AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF A VTN-TIF-OGA LINE SHOULD STAY DRY TONIGHT.
WITH THE SLOW-MOVING UPPER SYSTEM...THE REST OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA WILL NOT CLEAR OUT TOO QUICKLY...PROBABLY NOT
UNTIL LATE SATURDAY MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. AFTER THAT...DRY
WEATHER IS LIKELY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AFTER CLOUDS CLEAR OUT
SATURDAY...DAYTIME HIGHS WILL RETURN TO THE UPPER 80S TO POSSIBLY
AROUND 90 IN PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST. IN THE NORTH CENTRAL ZONES...80
TO 85 IS MORE LIKELY.
&&
.EXTENDED...
THE SURFACE FRONT WILL BEGIN WORKING ITS WAY TO THE NORTHEAST
MONDAY AND BECOME STATIONARY ALONG THE SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER. SO...
HIGHS IN THE 90S ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. BY LATE
MONDAY NIGHT THEN...FLOW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO RETURNS AND LIFTS
UP OVER THE FRONT ON THE NORTHERN PLAINS. AS THE FRONT DRIFTS
SOUTHWARD...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTH BY
TUESDAY NIGHT AND OVER A LARGE PART OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. AND TAPERING OFF FROM THE NORTH AND
WEST BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY. THERE IS A
POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN FRIDAY IN THE SOUTH AND EAST AS
THE FRONT RETREATS AGAIN.
