AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 439M CDT FRI JUN 16 2006 .DISCUSSION... THE MAIN CHALLENGE FOR THIS FORECAST IS THE HANDLING OF PRECIP AND TEMPS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS...AS A WEAKENING UPPER TROUGH AND SFC FRONT MAKE THEIR WAY SLOWLY ACROSS THE AREA. THURSDAY EVE OAX SOUNDING STILL HAD A LOT OF WARM DRY AIR UP INTO MID LEVELS...BUT WITH IMPRESSIVE HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE. COMBO OF LOW LEVEL DRY AIR AND UPPER RIDGE AXIS A LITTLE TO OUR EAST HAS BEEN ENOUGH TO STEER PRECIP MAINLY THROUGH CENTRAL NEBRASKA OVERNIGHT...WITH A GENERALLY WEAKENING BAND OF SHOWERS EXTENDING INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. LLJ HAS ALSO BEEN A FACTOR...DECLINING FROM 50KT TO 30KT OVERNIGHT ON NELIGH PROFILER. FBY HAS REMAINED AROUND 40 KT AS TSTMS CONTINUE TO BUBBLE UP IN SOUTH CENTRAL NEB...BUT WEAKEN TO SHOWERS AS THEY MOVE NORTHEAST. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE...WITH MUCH LESS EXTENSIVE PRECIP AFTER SUNRISE THAN YESTERDAY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO WARM A FEW DEGREES ABOVE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR TODAY. PROSPECTS FOR SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL CONTINUE TO LOOK DECENT FOR TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN COUNTIES. A FAIRLY STRONG UPPER WAVE WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA WITH MID LEVEL COOLING AND UPPER DIVERGENCE. THIS SYSTEM IS CLEARLY VISIBLE ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY PUNCHING INTO NM AND SOUTHWEST CO EARLY THIS MORNING. AS LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES SOMEWHAT...AND AIRMASS BEGINS TO DESTABILIZE THIS AFTN...EXPECT RAPID TSTM DEVELOPMENT ON FRONT TO OUR WEST. SPC SCENARIO LOOKS REASONABLE...WITH MAIN PRECIP EVENT FOR OUR AREA THIS EVE AND OVERNIGHT. GREATEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WX APPEARS TO BE THIS EVE IN OUR WEST...ALTHOUGH WIND AND HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT FARTHER EAST AFTER DARK. BY SATURDAY...MODELS ALL SHOW UPPER SYSTEM WEAKENING AND SLOWING AS IT RUNS INTO A RATHER STRONG UPPER RIDGE SHOWING ONLY VERY SLOW EASTWARD MOVEMENT FROM THE OH VALLEY. THIS WILL KEEP A DIMINISHING CHC OF PRECIP IN THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES ALL WEEKEND. THE SFC FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH PASSING THROUGH NORTHEAST NEBRASKA SHOULD ALLOW MORE DRYING AND SUNSHINE BY SUNDAY. WITH CLOUDS AND LINGERING SHOWERS...SAT WILL LIKELY CONTAIN THE COOLEST DAYTIME HIGHS FOR THIS FORECAST PD. MADE FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED...EXCEPT FOR SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TUESDAY TO ALLOW STRONGER WARMING AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT...AND A LITTLE EARLIER ONSET OF PRECIP CHANCES. 00Z GFS RUN IS WARMER...KEEPING UP ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE WESTERLIES WITH A SYNOPTIC LOW TRACK MAINLY RUNNING ACROSS NW NEBRASKA INTO SD. MEX REFLECTS THIS PATTERN...PROVIDING HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S NEXT WEEK. ECMWF IS FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE WESTERLIES...AND LEAVES OUR AREA MORE IN PLAY WITH A SERIES OF MIGRATORY LOWS MOSTLY TO OUR SOUTH. HARD TO SAY WHICH IS RIGHT...SO THERE WAS NO BIG PUSH TO ALTER THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && POLLACK
