AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 257 AM CDT SUN JUN 4 2006 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION CHANCES TODAY AND THEN MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT MAIN FORECAST CONCERN THROUGH NEXT WEEK. SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT. AS EXPECTED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED SEWD ACROSS A LARGE PART OF THE NEBRASKA CWA DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON INSTABILITY GRADIENT FED BY A MODERATE 30KT H85 JET. ALSO 310 K ISENTROPIC FORECAST SHOWED PACKED PRESSURE SURFACES OVR WRN CWA AT 06Z WITH FLOW NEARLY PERPENDICULAR INDICATING STRONG WARM ADVCTN AIDING ACTIVITY AS SHEARING VORT MAX FROM UPR TROF PROVIDES LIFT. RUC BULK SHEAR VALUES WERE 40-45KTS OVER WRN CWA WHICH HAS AIDED IN A FEW OF THE MULTICELLS TO OBTAIN SOME SUPERCELLUAR CHARACTERISTICS WHICH EARLIER PRODUCED TENNIS BALL SIZE HAIL. SOME HAIL POTENTIAL LIKELY CONTINUES FOR SVRL MORE HOURS BEFORE WARM ADVCTN BEGINS WEAKENING AS LOW LVL JET VEERS AND ALSO WEAKENS. LUCKILY LOW LVL MOISTURE WAS SOMEWHAT LACKING WHICH HAS CREATED HIGH LFCS AND RELATIVELY HIGH LCLS. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY COULD CONTINUE ERN SECTIONS INTO EARLY AFTN AND WILL PROBABLY MENTION SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS THIS MORNING THAT AREA. HOWEVER... WL WAIT CLOSER TO ZONE/GRID ISSUANCE TIME TO MAKE FINAL DECISIONS AS CURRENT CONVECTION COMPLEX WAS SHOWING SIGNS THAT IT COULD MOVE OUT OF CWA OR DISSIPATE THIS MORNING. ALSO OF INTEREST...POSSIBLY LATER TODAY AFTER ATMOSPHERE HAS HAD TIME TO RECOVER...IS MODEST PUSH TO BOUNDARY OVR NCNTRL CWA. THIS FRONT WAS PROGGED TO WASH OUT THIS AFTN AS PRESSURES BEGIN FALLING OVR WRN HIGH PLAINS IN RESPONSE TO YET ANOTHER SHORTWV TROUGH FORECAST TO MOVE INTO WRN MT BY 00Z MON. CURRENT TRENDS INDICATE THAT IT COULD MOVE INTO WRN CWA THIS AFTN AND IT MAY PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION TOWARD EVENING WHICH WAS REFLECTED IN 00Z NAM. THUS WILL INCLUDE SMALL LATE AFTN/EVENING POPS NW IN ADDITION TO LINGERING PCPN CHCS E/SERN ZONES. LINGERING CLOUDS/PCPN HAVE A DECENT CHANCE TO HOLD HIGHS DOWN AND MAV NUMBERS MAY BE HARD TO BEAT. NEXT UPPER TROF FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS LATE MONDAY WITH A SIMILAR PATH TO TONIGHTS. HOWEVER...MODEL QPF SUGGESTS ACTIVITY MAY DVLP A LITTLE EARLIER THAN IT DID YDA EVENING AND THIS WAS REFLECTED BY PREV IN MODERATE POPS NWRN ZONES ALREADY AFT 18Z AND THIS LOOKS REASONABLE. BOTH NAM AND GFS DROP ONE MCS ACRS WRN IA AND WL RUN LIKELY POPS THAT AREA TONIGHT. QUESTION IS WILL A SECOND SMALLER MCS TRACK ACROSS WRN ZONES WHICH BOTH GFS AND NAM SUGGEST. AGAIN SIMILAR TO TONIGHT...310 K PRESSURE SURFACES BECOME PACKED WITH DECENT WARM ADVCTN...EVEN ACROSS WRN ZONES IN THE EVENING...SO WILL BOOST POPS THAT AREA AS WELL. IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE IN LATER RUNS...POPS THERE MAY HAVE TO BE LIFTED INTO LIKELY CATEGORY AS WELL. WILL COUNT ON CONVECTION HOLDING OFF LATE ENOUGH IN THE DAY TO ALLOW MAX TEMPS TO REACH CLOSER TO PREV FORECAST/WARMER MET NUMBERS. BEYOND MONDAY NIGHT PCPN CHCS DECREASE ACROSS THE CWA AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ENEWD. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BHND MONDAY NIGHTS TROUGH COULD KEEP CONDITIONS FROM GETTING TOO WARM UNTIL POSSIBLY LATE NEXT WEEK OR INTO THE WEEKEND. GENERALLY REFLECTED IN FORECAST AND MADE LTL/NO CHANGES. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && CHERMOK
