Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 3:08 PM CDT, 4 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE 308 PM CDT MON SEP 5 2005 .SHORT TERM...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE POPS FOR THE NEXT FEW PERIODS. MODELS DO NOT SEEM TO BE HANDLING THINGS WELL...BUT SEEM TO AGREE THERE WILL BE A BOUNDARY IN THE AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WITH WAVES COMING THROUGH WE STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING RAIN OVER OUR CWA WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. WENT TOWARD THE HIGHER ETA MOS POPS FOR THE NEAR TERM. WENT WITH COOLER ETA MOS TEMPS THINKING GREATER AMOUNTS OF CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPS DOWN. THERE IS A SEVERE THREAT TONIGHT WITH COMPLEX MOVING IN...BUT NOT THE MOST FAVORABLE AS MID LEVEL FLOW IS WEEK AND INSTABILITY IS NOT INCREDIBLE. HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL IS GOOD. THINK STORMS SHOULD MOVE ALONG FAST ENOUGH NOT TO CAUSE WIDESPREAD FLOODING. .LONG TERM...KEPT A DRY FORECAST AS WE SHOULD BE UNDER INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE. TROUGH IN THE WEST IS KEPT FAR ENOUGH WEST TO PREVENT SHORTWAVES IT KICKS OUT TO INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER TOO MUCH...AT LEAST MY THINKING NOW. BY SATURDAY A PIECE OF ENERGY MIGHT MAKE IT CLOSE ENOUGH FOR POPS...BUT EVEN THE ECMWF INDICATES THIS MAY BE TOO FAR NORTH AND WEST...GFS KEEPS US BONE DRY. OF COURSE THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT WILL BE DIFFICULT IN THE EXTENDED WITH RELATIVELY SMALL FEATURES. HAVE A DIFFICULT ENOUGH TIME WITH NEAR TERM WITH SMALLER FEATURES...SO ONLY RAISED POPS ON SATURDAY TO THE BRINK OF SLIGHT POPS. && .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE.
