AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE 237 PM CDT SUN MAY 7 2006 ..SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. MAIN FOCUS IS ON THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS. STRATUS CLOUDS ARE GRADUALLY ERODING FROM WEST TO EAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WITH INSOLATION TO THE WEST...TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO THE 60S AND 70S...WHILE HOLDING IN THE 50S UNDER STRATUS. SURFACE TROUGH AND DRY LINE HAD REACHED LOCATIONS FROM KOGA TO KGLD AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY INITIATED AROUND KGLD. WIND SHEAR PROFILE IS WEAK AS IS FLOW ALOFT...AND EVEN BETTER INSTABILITY IS CONFINED TO OUR WEST WITH LOW CLOUDS KEEPING OUR CWA STABLE SO FAR. AS CLOUDS ERODE AND BOUNDARY SHIFTS EAST...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE EVENING AND NIGHTTIME HOURS. AN OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT WITH HAIL THE PRIMARY HAZARD...AS FREEZING LEVELS AND WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS ARE RELATIVELY LOW. MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS PASSES TO OUR EAST EARLY MONDAY WITH A LULL IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY. SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DRAW MOISTURE NORTH AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH PUSHES A COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY AXIS WILL BRUSH OUR EASTERN CWA INITIALLY AND THEN SLIDE EAST. AGAIN AN OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR A SEVERE STORM WILL EXIST FOR TIME. FOR TEMPERATURES...MONDAY READINGS WILL BE MORE SEASONAL AS LOW LEVEL CLOUDS WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE AND WE WILL SEE WARMING AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. TUESDAY WILL AGAIN DRY OUT BEHIND THE FRONT BUT WINDS WILL BE STRONG FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY...UNTIL GRADIENT RELAXES AS SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS SOUTHEAST. BY TUESDAY NIGHT...PRECIPITATION CHANCES RETURN AGAIN IN COMBINATION OF UPSLOPE FLOW AND DIGGING UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL AGAIN TREND TOWARD COOLER AND DAMP CONDITIONS FOR MIDWEEK. .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. WEDNESDAY STILL DESERVES SMALL RAIN CHANCES AS UPPER LEVEL LOW TO THE NORTH...SPINS AN UPPER WAVE ACROSS THE REGION IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW. LOOKS COOL WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS LIKELY. MAIN FRONT AND CONVECTION WILL BE WELL SOUTH OF THE CWFA. ONCE WE MOVE BEYOND WEDNESDAY...THE CWFA IS UNDER A WNW FLOW THURSDAY AND IT WILL BE COOL WITH A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN. EC/GFS MORE IN LINE REGARDING LOW FURTHER EAST FRIDAY...SO THAT SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME WARMING...BUT NOT MUCH WITH POOR FLOW. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO GRAB ONTO ANYTHING...AS NOW THE EC SUGGESTS THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE GREAT LAKES WILL BE A SOURCE OF ENERGY WRAPPING AROUND INTO THE PLAINS AGAIN. THIS WOULD MEAN COOLER WEATHER. REMOP SUGGESTS VERY POOR PREDICTABILITY AFTER DAY 5. AT THIS TIME...AS STICKING NEAR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AND KEEPING IT DRY WITH SUSPECT MOISTURE RETURN IN THIS PATTERN. && .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. KS...NONE. && 05/22
