Area forecast discussion, May 22, 12:55 PM MST, 12 hours 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 255 PM CDT MON MAY 22 2006 .SHORT TERM... PLENTY OF SUNSHINE OVER THE PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON HAS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO HEAT UP QUICKLY. ALTHOUGH THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA HAS WARMED INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S...STRONGER SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW IN THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S. LARGE UPPER TROF OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WILL ALLOW SHORTWAVES TO ROTATE INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER TROF EJECTS NORTHEASTWARD. ALTHOUGH DEWPOINTS ARE ONLY IN THE 50S...THINK THIS IS ADEQUATE FOR TSTMS TONIGHT AS MU CAPES ARE IN THE 2500-3500 J/KG RANGE. THINK BEST CHC OF CONVECTION WILL BE ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA AND THEN WEAKEN AS THE THETA-E RIDGE WEAKENS. NOSE OF LOW LEVEL JET AND BEST 0-6KM SHEAR COME TOGETHER OVER THE EASTERN PANHANDLE AND WESTERN SANDHILLS BETWEEN 03Z AND 06Z TONIGHT SO EXPECT A FEW SUPERCELLS TO DEVELOP AND THEN MOVE NORTHEASTWARD. THETA-E RIDGE REDEVELOPS TUE ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA SO EXPECT THIS TO BE WHERE MOST OF THE TSTM ACTIVITY IS. THIS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TUE NIGHT AND EARLY WED AS THE UPPER LOW SWINGS NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN SD. .LONG TERM... UPPER RIDGE DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WESTERN PLAINS THU WITH 850 MB TEMPS REACHING 30-32C IN FAR SOUTHWEST NE BY FRI AFTERNOON. DO NOT EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO FALL OFF UNTIL MONDAY AS THE SFC LOW PRESSURE FINALLY SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA. THIS IS COINCIDENT WITH THE UPPER TROF APPROACHING THE AREA SUNDAY BRINGING A SLIGHT CHC OF TSTMS. UNFORTUNATELY THE BEST GULF MOISTURE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL SLIDE TO THE EAST OF THE AREA SO THERE ANY CONVECTION WILL BE LIMITED. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DB
