EWP Status for 16 May 2013: 1-9 pm Shift

Well, it looks like the most exciting weather day of operations this week is almost behind us.  Tomorrow appears to be another marginal / conditionally severe day.  Operations will likely shift north to Nebraska as a short wave moves across the region. This upper level support combined with low-level warm air and moisture advection provides the highest probability severe weather across the CONUS.  Ongoing convection in the overnight and morning hours may complicate timing and location of afternoon storms.  For convection that does occur, large hail and wind will be the primary concerns.

Again, timing is a bit difficult to predict due to the likelihood of overnight/moving convection, but considering it is likely to be a marginal day, I see no reason to switch away from our default schedule of 1-9 pm.

Likely CWAs:  North Platte, Hastings, Goodland
