AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 319 PM CDT SAT JUN 3 2006 .DISCUSSION... SYNOPSIS...12Z UPPR AIR ANLYS INDCD H5 RIDGE AXIS FM WRN NM NEWD INTO THE WRN HI PLAINS. UPSTRM...POTENT SHRTWV TROF ASSOCIATED WITH A 70 M H5 HEIGHT FALL AT KTFX WAS TOPPING THE RIDGE OVR MT. MOISTURE REMAINED LIMITED ACRS THE CNTRL US WITH H85 RIDGE AXIS FM ERN KS SWD TO CNTRL TX. SOME LIMITED MOISTURE RETURN WAS NOTED W OF THE RIDGE AXIS WITH H85 DEW POINTS TO +10 C AT KAMA. 19Z SFC ANLYS INDCD CDFNT ASSOCIATED WITH MT SHRTWV WAS MOVING THRU WRN SD/NEB. WRMFNT HAD LIFTED NORTH INTO THE DAKOTAS AND EXTNDD SEWD INTO CNTRL IA. FORECAST...ATMO CONTS TO DESTABILIZE OVR THE WRN HI PLAINS WITH LATEST LAPS ANLYS MLCAPE OVR 2000 J/KG. MLCIN ALSO SEEMS TO BE WEAKENING OVR THIS REGION...AND WL EXPECT TSRA TO DVLP OVR THIS AREA BY LATE AFTN. AS THE LO LVL JET INCREASES THIS EVNG FM WRN KS TO CNTRL NEB...CONVECTION SHLD MOV SEWD INTO NRN NEB...AND FINALLY INTO OUR WRN FA ARND OR AFTER 06Z. LIMITED MOISTURE/WK EFFECTIVE SHEAR/WEAKENING LARGE SCALE UPPR LVL SUPPORT SHLD KEEP THIS ACTIVITY BELOW SVR LIMITS. GIVEN THE DRY BOUNDARY LAYER THOUGH...SOME GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY/SCT FOR AFTR MIDNIGHT FOR THE WRN FA. HAVE REDUCE POPS IN THE ERN FA WITH THE EXPECTED MOVEMENT MORE SRLY LATE TONIGHT AND IF ACTIVITY GOT THAT FAR E IT WOULD BE PRETTY LATE. GOING LOWS LOOK TO BE SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHTS WITH SOME BETTER MIXING EXPECTED TONIGHT. WK CDFNT WL SLIDE INTO THE NW FA DURING THE DAY ON SUN AS THE UPPR LVL SUPPORT MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES. THIS PUTS THE FA INTO AN UPPR LVL SHRTWV RIDGE PATTERN DRNG PEAK HEATING...WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR CONVECTION. MID LVL TMPS REMAIN FAIRLY COOL FOR JUNE...AND THUS THIS ALNG WITH HEATING AND CONVERGENCE ALNG THE BOUNDARY MAY ALLOW FOR ISO/SCT -TSRA TO DVLP DRNG THE LATE AFTN. HIGHS ARE A LITTLE DIFFICULT DUE TO THE AFFECTS OF MRNG CONVECTION AND LINGERING CLDS. GOING FORECAST LOOKED PRETTY GOOD...BUT DID BUMP UP TMPS A LITTLE IN THE NRN FA WHERE CLDS ARE EXPECTED TO CLR OUT AND MIXING TO H85 SHLD OCCUR. ANY -TSRA ACTIVITY THAT DVLPS ON SUN AFTN WL LIKELY WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE BY MIDNIGHT AS LO LVL MOISTURE ADVECTION SHIFTS FARTHER WEST ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEXT UPSTM SHRTWV TROF TOPPING THE WRN US RIDGE SUN NIGHT AND OUR WK BOUNDARY WASHES OUT. THIS SHRTWV SHLD CONT TO TOP THE RIDGE AND FALL INTO THE CNTRL US ON MON NIGHT. DO HAVE SOME QUESTION WHETHER THE MCS THAT DVLPS OVR THE WRN HI PLAINS SUN NIGHT WL DISSIPATE MON MRNG...OR WL SURVIVE AND CONT THRU THE DAY INTO THE NRN FA BY ERLY AFTN. IF MCS DOES DISSIPATE...REDEVELOPMENT STILL LOOKS LIKELY ALNG THE CDFNT BY AFTN...SO HAVE INCREASED GOING POPS FOR MON AFTN/NIGHT AS THIS BOUNDARY LOOKS STRONGER THAN THE ONE ON SUN. EXTENDED...HAVE TRIED TO GO WITH THE HPC PHILOSOPHY IN THE EXTENDED FOR PLACEMENT ON THE FRONTS AND TMPS. LIMITED CHCS OF CONVECTION TO PERIODS THAT HAVE SOME CONTINUITY WITH THE PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS. THUS WITH THE SFC FNT MOVING TO OUR S ON TUES HAVE REMOVED POPS FOR TUES AND TUES NIGHT. SHLD GENERALLY SEE DRY WX THRU THE DAY ON THURS WITH NR OR SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN CLIMO FOR TMPS. A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN THEN TRIES TO SET-UP FOR LATER IN THE WEEK OR NEXT WEEKEND. WITH UPPR LVL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH...LOOKS LIKE A PATTERN FAVORABLE FOR MCS ACTIVITY. OF COURSE THIS DEPENDS ON BOUNDARY PLACEMENT AND HAVE GENERALLY DISCOUNTED THE GFS FOR THIS. HAVE INSERTED SCHC POPS FOR THURS NIGHT AND FRI NIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY NOCTURNAL TSRA ACTIVITY. NEW GFS/EC HAVE STRONGER SHRTWV TO EJECT ON SAT...BUT WL WAIT FOR FURTHER MODEL RUNS TO JUMP ON THIS. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && BOUSTEAD
