Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 1:08 PM MST, 1 hour 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 308 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 307 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2017 The short range models, HRRR/RAP and NAMnest, suggest some sort of convective destabilization late this afternoon and tonight affecting Wrn and Ncntl Neb. Pops are isolated given the weak forcing. The storm development across the Panhandle should move southeast this afternoon and then curve south through Swrn Neb. Note that SCAM shows a storm motion of 6 kt or less with all storms in Neb and Colo. The storm motion will probably be driven by outflow. A better opportunity for storm development could be Thursday afternoon. The models suggest convective development off the Black Hills or along a warm front draped across the White River. If this development can survive into the early evening, then the low level jet would cause an increase in inflow and the system should turn south and move through either Wrn or Ncntl Neb. Any severe weather threat would probably be cold pool wind gusts. The shear is weak with 15 to 30 kt winds at 500mb and most updrafts would be relatively short lived. The temperature forecast follows a blend of guidance plus bias correction for lows in the 50s and 60s tonight with highs in the 80s Thursday. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 307 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2017 The models show a series of low pressure systems tracking through the Dakotas Friday through Monday. Thunderstorms should form across this area and the models suggest outflow from the storms could move momentarily into Nrn Neb and take some the edge off the heat wave conditions. The blend of model and guidance data plus bias correction continue to reflect a 4 day heat wave but temperatures may not reach 90F every day across Nrn Neb. There are only isolated thunderstorm chances in the forecast. A strong 15-17C h700mb cap will be in place holding the atmosphere down. A strong Pacific cold front moves through Tuesday but dry air ahead of the front could very well produce a dry frontal passage. Cooler weather should continue Wednesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1231 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2017 VFR is generally expected this afternoon through Thursday morning. The short range models, HRRR/RAP and NAMnest, suggest some sort of convective destabilization late this afternoon and tonight affecting Wrn and Ncntl Neb. The forcing is weak and storm coverage is expected to remain isolated. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SHORT TERM...CDC LONG TERM...CDC AVIATION...CDC
