Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 1:11 PM CST, 4 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 211 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 209 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014 A DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE WASHINGTON COAST MOVES INLAND THROUGH SRN CANADA SUNDAY AND SENDS A STRONG PACIFIC COLD FRONT THROUGH WRN AND NCNTL NEB. THIS WILL BRING COOLER AIR INTO THE FCST AREA MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WARMER WEATHER DEVELOPS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS A MORE SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN DEVELOPS. RAIN CHANCES DECREASE AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY. UNTIL THEN THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 209 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014 TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...ABBREVIATED DISCUSSION AS WE ARE CURRENTLY WATCHING CONVECTIVE TRENDS. MULTIPLE MODES OF CONVECTION CAN BE ANTICIPATED ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND...AND GUSTY OUTFLOW EXISTS. IN ADDITION...HEAVY RAINFALL MAY ACCOMPANY STORMS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS CELLS MERGE AND CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES FORM. THE FORECAST IN THE SHORT TERM RELIES ON A BLEND OF THE 27.12Z NAM AND NEAR TERM CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS. THE OVERALL IDEA IS THAT MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A SHORTWAVE IMPULSE ASSOCIATED WITH A NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH EJECTS NORTHEAST ATOP THE CENTRAL PLAINS FROM SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO. MVFR STRATUS HAS BACKED INTO THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY TODAY...LIMITING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND PROVIDING FOR A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CAP /SEE 18Z SPECIAL KLBF SOUNDING/. WITH THAT BEING SAID...THE STRATUS IS SLOWLY BREAKING...WITH A BKN DECK NOW GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF A KOGA TO KONL LINE. THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD FURTHER DESTABILIZE AS THE IMPULSE CLOSES AND ADDITIONAL CLEARING OCCURS. RAP GENERATED SBCAPES APPROACH 3000 J/KG BY LATE AFTERNOON EAST OF A IMPERIAL TO NORTH PLATTE TO BROKEN BOW LINE...WITH UP TO 2000 J/KG ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA AND MUCH OF THE SANDHILLS REGION. ONCE THE CAP ERODES...STORMS ARE LIKELY TO FORM IN TWO GENERAL AREAS...FIRST ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHEAST COLORADO...IN THE VICINITY OF A NORTH TO SOUTH SFC TROUGH EXTENDING FROM A SFC LOW CENTERED IN FAR WEST CENTRAL KANSAS. IN THIS AREA THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE HAIL INITIALLY...BUT THEN TRANSITION TO A WIND THREAT AS THE STORMS MERGE INTO A CONVECTIVE LINE AND DCAPES APPROACH 1000 J/KG. THIS ACTIVITY PROJECTED TO LIFT EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE SANDHILLS THIS EVENING. THE SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION WILL BE ANTICIPATED INVOF THE TRIPLE POINT THAT IS SHOWN TO SLOWLY BULGE NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN KANSAS/SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. STORMS IN THIS AREA MAY PRODUCE A BRIEF TORNADO AS THE SUPERCELLS REMAIN SEMI-DISCRETE. THE TORNADO THREAT WILL BE SHORT-LIVED HOWEVER AS THE STORMS SHOULD QUICKLY EVOLVE INTO MULTIPLE CLUSTERS. IN ADDITION TO THE BRIEF TORNADO THREAT...HAIL...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE VERY LARGE...WILL BE POSSIBLE AS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION OF CAPE RESIDES IN THE -10 TO -30C LAYER...BUT ONCE AGAIN THE VERY LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL BE MAINLY TIED DURING THE INITIAL SEMI-DISCRETE SUPERCELL STAGE. THIS ACTIVITY FROM SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA IS PROJECTED TO MERGE TO THE NORTHEAST AND WILL PRODUCE GUSTY WIND AND HEAVY RAINFALL AS PWATS INCREASE TO THE 1.25-1.50" RANGE. MORE ON THE RAIN THREAT BELOW. THE FORECAST GENERALLY CALLS FOR WIDESPREAD 50-60% POPS OVER MUCH OF THE SANDHILLS...WESTERN...SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS EVENING...WITH POPS INCREASING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. DIDN/T WANT TO GO MUCH HIGHER AS CONVECTION...WELL IT/S CONVECTION. CONCERNING THE HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL...THE POTENTIAL MCS/S/ MAY PROVE TO BE A FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVERNIGHT AS A COLD POOL DEVELOPS AND POSSIBLY REINFORCING A WEST TO EAST BOUNDARY...FOR WHICH REDEVELOPMENT/TRAINING WOULD OCCUR AS THE LLJ STRENGTHENS. AGAIN PWATS INCREASE TO OVER 1.25" ATOP EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...WITH THE POTENTIAL OF 1.50" OVER FRONTIER AND CUSTER COUNTIES. WE MAY SEE A LOCALIZED FLOOD THREAT. FOR SATURDAY...LINGERING SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AS THE FOCUS FOR STORMS SHIFTS EAST WITH THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE PLEASANT...WITH WIDESPREAD 80S ANTICIPATED. .LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY) ISSUED AT 209 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014 SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES REVOLVE AROUND THE PROGRESSION OF RETURN MOISTURE AND A PACIFIC COLD FRONT FCST TO ARRIVE SUNDAY. RETURN MOISTURE SATURDAY NIGHT MIGHT PRODUCE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR ISOLATED TSTMS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST ZONES. THE BETTER CHANCES OCCUR SUNDAY AFTN/NIGHT AS THE PACIFIC FRONT SAGS THRU THE FORECAST AREA FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. AREAS EAST OF HIGHWAY 83 ARE MORE FAVORED AT THIS TIME. A FAIRLY STRONG THERMAL RIDGE/CAP DEVELOPS SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH H700MB TEMPERATURES RISING TO 15C ACROSS SWRN NEB. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S AHEAD OF THE FRONT. GIVEN THE THE PROXIMITY OF AN UPPER LOW OVER MANITOBA...HEATING AND MOISTURE...HIGH CAPE AND STRONG WINDS ALOFT SUPPORT SEVERE TSTM DEVELOPMENT AS THE CAP WEAKENS SUNDAY AFTN AND EVENING. POPS TAPER ACROSS SWRN NEB WITH THE CAP IN PLACE UNTIL 06Z OR LATER. MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...A SUBTROPICAL UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE MID SOUTH AND THEN AMPLIFIES SOMEWHAT ACROSS THE ROCKIES. RETURN MOISTURE DEVELOPS WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND. GIVEN THE WARMING ALOFT...SLOW MOISTURE RETURN AND WEAKENING WIND FIELDS...ISOLATED POPS ARE LIMITED TO THE NIGHTTIME PERIOD. THE MODELS SUGGEST H500MB TEMPS WOULD RISE TO -6C TO -8C WHICH WOULD GENERALLY CAP DAYTIME CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES RISE FROM AROUND 80 TUESDAY TO THE 90S BY FRIDAY. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 1215 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014 LOW CEILINGS DEVELOPED INTO THE VICINITY OF NORTH PLATTE AROUND 15Z. THE MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER THROUGH 21Z THEN LIFTING TO VFR. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WHERE THUNDERSTORM CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS ON THE HIGH PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE EAST THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO DEVELOP IN THE KLBF VICINITY NEAR 01Z THEN MOVE EAST AND NORTH THAT WILL CARRY THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT INTO THE KVTN AREA AFTER 02Z. BEYOND 06Z THE CONVECTION WILL BE MOVING OUT FOR GENERAL CLEARING FOR VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
