Hail and Damaging Winds in Nebraska, June 21, 2019

Area Forecast Discussion

636 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 440 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019

Line of convection moving through the area early this morning has
weakened from earlier, but was still producing winds gusts 30 to
40 mph from Omaha southward. This will continue to march eastward
and be out of the area with the next hour. Additional convection
behind the first round has redeveloped across central NE, and this
could still bring a severe threat to areas along/south of I80
through 9-10 am, with both hail and wind. Thus, we coordinated
with SPC earlier in the night to reorient the severe watch that
remains in effect until 15z. Otherwise, the rain moves out by mid
morning, leaving behind dry weather for the late morning and early
afternoon. However, rain chances start to increase again through
the afternoon. Coverage would be pretty spotty, and very light,
and probably just a shower.

There is still a severe threat this evening, generally for
southeast NE and southwest IA, just north of the the surface low
which would be across northeast KS. Meanwhile, an advancing cold
front in northeast NE could also bring a small chance of severe
storms near the NE/SD border, but that threat appears to diminish
by about 9 pm. In between, just some spotty thundershowers are
possible.

For Saturday, a severe weather threat continues in southeast NE
and southwest IA, as a reinforcing surge of low pressure moves
along the a stalled frontal boundary. Spotty showers would be
possible elsewhere Saturday, but the severe weather threat is
pretty low north of I80.

For Saturday night, the next wave moves out of the central
Rockies, renewing nocturnal precipitation chances across the
area, boosting pops back into the likely range. Lingering rain
chances continue into Sunday.

Adding up all of the rain though the weekend, some locations could
pick up 1 to 2 inches, and probably more for portions of southeast
NE and southwest IA that receive multiple heavy rounds of rain.
May eventually need a flash flood watch for some areas, but for
now, will hold off.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 440 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019

We finally get a chance to dry out Monday through Tuesday. Models
suggest some more spotty nighttime convection Tuesday night but
probably over by daybreak Wednesday. Rain chances return Wednesday
night through Thursday.
