Hail and Damaging Wind in Nebraska, July 29, 2019

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne WY
226 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 225 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019

Some convection firing over eastern Converse county attm and
expect this activity to increase a bit more the rest of the
afternoon as it moves eastward. A few strong storms possible with
strong wind gusts looking the main threat. This in response to a
weak impulse riding over the top of the 4 corners upper high.
Activity should move across mainly the northern Neb Panhandle into
this evening with otherwise quiet weather expected elsewhere the
rest of the night.

Similar setup on Tuesday but the upper high looks to strengthen a
bit over the area with convection looking more confined to the
mtns near the Colorado border Tuesday afternoon as some warming
at mid levels hinder development. Temperatures remaining quite
warm across the CWA Tuesday with maxs in the mid 80s to mid 90s
outside of the mtns.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 225 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019

Monsoonal moisture should begin returning more in earnest Weds and
persist through the weekend as the upper high meanders around the
4 corners area. This will bring back pretty much daily chances
for mainly afternoon and evening showers and tstms to the CWA,
currently looking most widespread on Thursday and Friday as a push
of cooler air moves down the high plains. Temps rebound a bit
over the weekend but remaining close to seasonal averages.
