ISSUED AT 249 PM CDT THU MAY 28 2015 H5 ANALYSIS THIS MORNING HAD A SHORTWAVE OVER WESTERN OKLAHOMA WITH ANOTHER STRONGER SHORTWAVE OVER EASTERN IDAHO. UPSTREAM OF THESE FEATURES...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WAS NOTED OVER THE ALASKA PANHANDLE. ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS...A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDED FROM THE SHORTWAVE OVER EASTERN IDAHO...SWD TO SRN AZ. LOW PRESSURE WAS NOTED OVER NRN QUEBEC WITH SHORTWAVES PRESENT OVER NRN SASKATCHEWAN AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE NW TERRITORIES OF CANADA. HIGH PRESSURE WAS PRESENT OVER THE SERN CONUS WITH A RIDGE EXTENDING NWD TO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. AT THE SURFACE...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDED FROM WESTERN CHERRY COUNTY INTO THE SERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. EAST OF THIS FEATURE...SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A THICK VEIL OF STRATOCU TOPPED WITH CIRROSTRATUS FROM DECAYED CONVECTION OVERNIGHT. WEST OF THE TROUGH CLEAR SKIES HAVE GIVEN WAY TO NUMEROUS DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN SANDHILLS AND THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. TEMPERATURES AS OF 2 PM CDT RANGED FROM 69 AT NORTH PLATTE AND IMPERIAL...TO 79 AT ONEILL. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY) ISSUED AT 249 PM CDT THU MAY 28 2015 SURFACE TROUGH/DRY LINE CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM WESTERN CHERRY COUNTY...SOUTHWEST INTO THE SOUTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. A FAIRLY POTENT PV ANOMALY ROTATING EAST ACROSS NORTHERN COLORADO AND SOUTHERN WYOMING WILL ENHANCE LARGE SCALE LIFT THIS EVENING...AND EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH FROM WESTERN NEBRASKA INTO NORTHEAST COLORADO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL SHEAR IS SOMEWHAT WEAK...BUT INSTABILITY IS DECENT AS STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SPREAD OVER THE REGION. EXPECT THAT A FEW STORMS WILL BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN THREATS. STORMS WILL WEAKEN LATE THIS EVENING...BUT EXPECT THEM TO CONTINUE AS THEY MOVE INTO CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA WITH SUPPORT FROM THE APPROACHING PV ANOMALY. AS THE ANOMALY TRACKS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY...SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE FROM THE NORTH AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION. EXPECT A FAIRLY RAW DAY TEMPERATURE WISE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHWEST NEBRASKA...WHERE HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S ARE EXPECTED.

TEMPERATURES WERE TRENDED DOWNWARD FROM THE PVS FORECAST GIVEN THE TRENDS IN GUIDANCE...HOWEVER...DECIDED TO LIMIT LOWS TO AROUND 40 IN THE NORTH WITH LOWER 40S IN THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA...BASED ON A COUPLE OF FACTORS.

FURTHER EAST...DRIER AIR AND LIGHTER WINDS WILL RESULT IN LOWS IN THE MIDDLE 40S. ON SUNDAY...RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO PUSH EAST INTO THE ROCKIES.
