SYNOPSIS
Issued at 407 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024
19Z surface analysis showed a surface low centered near Grand Island with a cold front extending southwest through Lexington and McCook. An upper level low was centered from central into north central Nebraska. Scattered showers continued near and west of Highway 83, with isolated storms near and east of a Broken Bow through Butte line.
SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/
Issued at 407 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Tonight...The upper low will lift from eastern South Dakota into Minnesota. Chances for showers and a few thunderstorms this evening north of Highway 2, ending entirely by midnight.
Cooler air behind the cold front, with lows falling into the lower 40s west to the mid 40s northeast.
Saturday...Another closed low near the Four Corners 12Z, will emerge onto eastern Colorado by late afternoon. Surface low pressure will deepen from southwest into west central Kansas during the afternoon with a defined warm front extending from Goodland Kansas through Hastings Nebraska. Northeast winds will strengthen across western and north central Nebraska. Storms will initiate along the warm front and lift northward into areas south of I80 late afternoon with a marginal risk for severe storms. Highs will only reach near 50 in the northwest Sandhills to near 70 in Frontier County, in closer proximity to the warm front.
Saturday night...Deep forcing increases in the evening, with showers and thunderstorms becoming numerous to widespread, with potential for another half inch to inch of rainfall. The heaviest rainfall is expected from North Platte to Mullen back west through Ogallala and Imperial. Locally higher amounts are possible. The risk for Flash Flooding appears low, with a marginal risk for areas along and south of Highway 2 overnight.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
Issued at 407 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Showers and embedded thunderstorms will be widespread Sunday morning, becoming scattered in the afternoon. Precipitation looks to linger across the northeast Sunday evening. Cloudy skies and cooler air will hold temperatures to well below normal from 45 to the low 50s most locations.
Monday through Friday...Mainly dry conditions Monday and Tuesday, with a Northern Stream trough crossing the region Wednesday through Friday. Moderating temperatures Monday and Tuesday to the upper 60s to low 70s. A cool front Wednesday with mid 60s for Thursday. PoPs in the extended are generally limited to Slight Chance or Chance (35% or less) Wednesday through Thursday night, with model differences leading to the lower POPs. Could see 30s for lows Thursday night as surface high pressure builds in.
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
Issued at 1244 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024
Low stratus persist over north central Nebraska, with another shield of stratus over northeastern Colorado. Flight conditions are expected to deteriorate from VFR to MVFR at KLBF. For KVTN, MVFR conditions are expected to lower to IFR, possibly LIFR, throughout the TAF period. Another round of showers and thunderstorms are expected this evening, however have omitted mention of thunder in the TAFs at this time, until confidence in timing and location increases. Winds are expected to fluctuate from northwesterly to northeasterly this afternoon. Additionally forecast soundings support gusty conditions for north central Nebraska tonight though tomorrow evening, with gusty conditions picking up across western and southwest Nebraska this afternoon.
