AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 245 AM CDT WED JUN 27 2007 .DISCUSSION... MAIN QUESTION TODAY IS WHETHER FRONT MOVING SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA CAN KICK OFF ANY PRECIP AS IT MOVES INTO KANSAS AND MISSOURI. NARROW BAND OF CONVECTION DEVELOPED BEHIND THE FRONT YESTERDAY OVER NORTHEAST NEBRASKA WITH NOTHING IN ADVANCE. MODELS INDICATE SIMILAR SCENE FOR TODAY FOR BORDER AREAS OF MISSOURI AND KANSAS. AT 07Z THE FRONT EXTENDED FROM NORTHEAST IOWA ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA... BETWEEN KPMV AND KAFK...THEN INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS. RADAR FAIRLY QUIET SO FAR THIS MORNING WITH ONLY AN OCCASIONAL SHOWER POPPING UP HERE AND THERE. RUC FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW SOME CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL FOR EXTREME SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA THIS MORNING. WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY SOME CHANCE POPS FOR THE SOUTHERN BORDER AREAS TODAY THEN DRY THEREAFTER AS HIGH BUILDS SOUTH AND UPPER WAVE WEAKENS ACROSS MISSOURI. DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO SETTLE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE. SEASONAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM THEN WARMING IN THE EXTENDED AS UPPER HIGH BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. NO CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH WARMING TREND STILL INDICATED FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEK. FOURTH OF JULY LOOKING HOT AND DRY AT THIS TIME. && .AVIATION... WITH COLD FRONT SOUTH OF KOMA AND KLNK...AM EXPECTING DECREASING CHANCES OF CONVECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD. HOWEVER LATEST RADAR LOOPS SUGGESTING ISOLATED -SHRA STILL POSSIBLE BEHIND COLD FRONT FROM KLNK TO KOMA. LARGE AREA OF VFR STRATO CUMULUS COVERING MUCH OF EASTERN NEBRASKA WILL LINGER THROUGH AT LEAST 18Z BEFORE BREAKING UP. SOME POCKETS OF MVFR CIGS MAY FORM BEFORE 18Z...BUT THOSE SHOULD BE ISOLATED OR IN COMBINATION WITH -SHRA. && FOBERT/DERGAN
