Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 1:45 PM MST, 5 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 345 PM CDT FRI JUL 8 2011 .SYNOPSIS... A SURFACE HIGH OVER IOWA THIS MORNING MOVED EAST TODAY AND ALLOWED A SURFACE TROUGH TO ENTER WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND WEAK INSTABILITY LAY OVER MUCH OF THE REGION THIS MORNING. WEAK CONVECTION MOVED ACROSS KANSAS AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA BUT RESULTED ONLY IN CLOUD COVER AND A FEW SHOWERS. A SLIGHTLY STRONGER SHORT WAVE NOW OVER COLORADO WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA LATER TONIGHT AND BRING. THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE...ARE OCCURRING NOW ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE AND THAT CONVECTION WILL SPREADS INTO NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON WELL AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE. THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN INTO NEXT WEEK CENTERS ON A THERMAL RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS AXIS THEN SHIFTS EAST AND ALLOWS A SLIGHT SOUTHWEST FLOW OVERHEAD. SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL THEN BRING IN HIGH IN PRECIPITABLE WATER AIR OVER THE STATE. ALL MODELS AGREE WITH THIS PATTERN. AS A PERCENTAGE OF NORMAL THE AIR MASS COMING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST WILL AVERAGE 125% OF NORMAL AND MORE AND THIS WILL CREATE POTENTIAL FLOODING CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT WEEK FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DO DEVELOP. THE WEATHER FORECAST CALLS FOR AN ACTIVE PATTERN WITH THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS NEARLY EACH DAY AND NIGHT THOUGH IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PINPOINT WHICH SPECIFIC AREA IS MOST LIKELY TO RECEIVE THE RAINFALL OUTSIDE OF 12-24 HOURS. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY ONGOING CONVECTION OVER THE WESTERN PANHANDLE INTO CENTRAL COLORADO WILL MOVE EAST THIS EVENING. INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE HIGHEST THE PANHANDLE AND INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA BUT WILL WANE GOING EAST. MAIN FORCING WITH UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WAS AND WILL BE FOCUSED OVER NORTH DAKOTA AS IS THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT SO BELIEVE AS DAYTIME HEATING DIMINISHES AND STORMS MOVE INTO MORE STABLE AIR AND WILL DIMINISH. MAY GET A FEW STORMS IN THE FORECAST AREA... BUT NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY THIS EVENING. AS FOR SEVERE CHANCES...DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN THE FORECAST AREA IS MARGINAL RIGHT AWAY BUT DOES INCREASE TO AROUND 40 TO 45KTS BY 06Z. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS FOR STRONG STORMS IN THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. A SURFACE BOUNDARY WITH DRIER AIR AND WESTERLY WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE WILL BE LOCATED ROUGHLY FROM SOUTHWEST INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA ON SATURDAY MORNING AND WILL STAY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY THROUGH THE DAY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL SERVE AS FOCUS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. LIFTED INDEX VALUES OF MINUS 8 ARE FORECAST AND NAM INDICATING AMOUNTS OF AROUND 2500 J/KG ML CAPE EAST OF THE BOUNDARY BUT NOT A GOOD FORCING SIGNAL WITH ONLY VERY WEAK WAVES OF ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW. CONVECTION WILL FIRE WITH HELP OF DAYTIME HEATING ALONG THE BOUNDARY IN THE AFTERNOON...AND WITH THE LITTLE FORCING SHOULD BE MORE SCATTERED THAN WIDESPREAD COVERAGE AND HAVE GRIDS INDICATING THAT. WHERE THERE ARE STORMS COULD GET SOME STRONGER TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS AS DEEP LAYER SHEAR WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES ARE ALSO SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. SOME GUIDANCE SHOWS MID 90S ACROSS THE AREA AND DO THINK IT WILL BE A WARM DAY BUT THAT MAY BE PUSHING IT A BIT. TO CONTEND WITH MAY BE SOME CLOUD COVER WITH BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY. TO THE WEST OF THE BOUNDARY THE AIR WILL BE DRIER SO EXPECTING HIGHER MIXING AND WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES WARMING TO 28-29C BY 00Z SUNDAY SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH LOW 90S IN THOSE LOCATIONS. SUNDAY...THE FRONT LAY JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA BUT MIX BACK ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE DAY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY BY 0Z. CAPES AGAIN REACH AROUND 2500 J/KG BUT WE ARE ALSO TROUBLED BY HIGH FREEZING LEVELS/WET BULB ZEROS 16184 FEET / 14457 FEET. STORM MOTION WILL BE EAST AT 16 KNOTS BUT WITH K INDEX VALUES OVER 40 AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AGAIN OVER 1.50 INCHES AND PERCENT NORMALS GREATER THAN 130. && .AVIATION MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY DEAL WITH WINDS ALONG WITH CHANCES FOR CONVECTION THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL SUBSIDE THIS EVENING AS MIXING DECREASES AND A GRADUAL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST THEN TO THE WEST BY THE END OF THE PERIOD AS A FRONT OFF TO THE WEST SLOWLY MOVES INTO THE AREA. THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE...THOUGH NOT PROBABLE AT BOTH KVTN AND KLBF TONIGHT. CONVECTION IS ONGOING TO THE WEST ACROSS THE WESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE ENVIRONMENT BECOMES MORE UNFAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORMS GOING TO THE EAST INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA. ALSO...THE BULK OF THE FORCING SIGNALS STAY TO THE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA SO AS DAYTIME HEATING GOES AWAY...THERE SHOULDN/T BE MUCH TO FUEL THE ONGOING STORMS AND DON/T EXPECT THE ACTIVITY TO MAKE IT TOO FAR EAST. SO ALTHOUGH MAY GET SOME STORMS IN THE REGION...NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AND DIDN/T HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO ADD BEYONE CB INTO THE FORECAST. INTO THE DAY ON SATURDAY...THE FRONT WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE LOCAL AREA. THERE WILL AGAIN BE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION...BUT BELIEVE THINGS WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTERNOON TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS/EXTENDED...HIRSCH SHORT TERM/AVIATION...BROOKS
