NWS Forecaster Discussion
999 fxus63 klbf 181244 afdlbf Area forecast discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 740 am CDT Friday Jul 18 2008 Update... convective system moving across the South Dakota-Nebraska border is pretty persistent. As a result...we are updating precipitation probabilities to increase them this morning. && Previous discussion... convection seemed to have pushed through County Warning Area quicker than expected 24 hours ago and again strong and widespread convection seems to have pushed it well into Kansas with surface low over southeast Colorado at this time. Fast zonal flow continue over northern rockies/plains and cyclogenesis is commencing over S.Wyoming rockies at this time and there seems to be a secondary boundary forming across northern County Warning Area this morning according to surface analysis with both wind and some moisture convergence. Heavy rain did affect southern and eastern County Warning Area in flash flood advisory area with estimates of near 5 inches in places. Quick glance at local stream data shows everything is in check this morning with medium creek showing the most response but on the way down...with clear radar at this time and expected heavy rainfall outside of County Warning Area will end flash flood advisory at issuance. Hard to get a complete handle of forecast with models struggling with convection and will base much of early forecast on Sat/radar trends. As for temperatures easterly flow and saturated ground would seem to indicate that numbers should lean to cooler side of guidance over southern/eastern County Warning Area at least today and plan to head that way. Far SW Nebraska seems to had escaped any precipitation lately and this may be the exception. Would expect with southeast/east flow in place that western County Warning Area will be under the gun late this afternoon and evening as steep middle level lapse rates move over this favorable low level sheared environment in the High Plains. Expect thunderstorms and rain will fire in the higher terrain and move into western County Warning Area through the late afternoon an evening hours and have probability of precipitation included for this. Both models indicating mesoscale convective system may try and from over Black Hills region and corfidi vect would take this into northern/east County Warning Area late if it hold together so early morning probability of precipitation continue for this scenario. Think with Kansas boundary so far south at this time that main convection concern will be well southeast of County Warning Area...but then again my forecast for that front today was way off. Day shift can monitor progress of an northward movement...especially with any cyclogenesis over Colorado plains...and add probability of precipitation to SW later...but for now have kept fairly small probability of precipitation. Seems to be a front meandering near the northern border next few days while upper ridge begins to settle ovhd. Middle level temperatures increase to 16c across southern County Warning Area...not unbreakable but should limit chances across the south with ring of fire mainly being pushed into Dakotas. Should begin to temperatures really rise with some guidance already hitting triple digits by Sunday. Have kept tempered at this time but trended up slightly...especially in dry SW and this can be re-evaluated by later shifts. && Aviation discussion... low level moisture forecasts indicate that some instrument flight conditions will set in by daybreak today...especially in western and southwest Nebraska where the thunderstorms overnight moistened the boundary layer. With only light east to southeast wind...the chances are about even for fog or stratus. Indications are that similar conditions can be expected Saturday morning. The low level moisture in north central Nebraska do not indicate that Valentine will have instrument conditions. Also...persistence of a low level boundary across the Central Plains may generate thunderstorms again this afternoon and tonight in south central and southwest Nebraska. It appears that North Platte will be on the northernmost extent of the storms. For now then...we will not have a mention of storms in the North Platte or Valentine terminal forecasts. && Lbf watches/warnings/advisories...none. && $$ 13/Springer
