AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
613 PM CDT MON SEP 24 2007

.AVIATION...FOR THE 00Z KGRI TAF.  THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING
FOLLOWED BY POTENTIAL FOR SOME LOW CLOUD COVER LATER TONIGHT ARE THE
MAIN AVIATION CHALLENGES FOR THE GRAND ISLAND TERMINAL.  A COLD
FRONT HAS ALREADY SLIPPED TO THE SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL THIS EARLY
EVENING WITH A BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION IMPACTING THE TERMINAL
AREA.  ANTICIPATE THUNDERSTORMS TO REMAIN A THREAT THROUGH MID
EVENING WITH JUST SOME SHOWERS POSSIBLE UNTIL MIDNIGHT.  THE
TERMINAL AREA SHOULD BEGIN TO DRY OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT ALTHOUGH SOME
AREAS OF LOWER CLOUD COVER COULD ENTER THE AREA.  AT THIS POINT IT
APPEARS ANY LOW CLOUD COVER WOULD REMAIN ABOVE 1000 FT BUT MVFR
CEILINGS BELOW 2000 FT COULD BE POSSIBLE.  CLOUD COVER SHOULD ERODE
QUICKLY TOMORROW MORNING WITH A SCATTERED DECK AROUND 3000 TO 4000
FT LEFT THROUGH MID AFTERNOON BEFORE ERODING COMPLETELY BY LATE AFTERNOON.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM CDT MON SEP 24 2007/

SHORT TERM...THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. PRIMARY FORECAST
CONCERN WILL CENTER AROUND THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.

SFC OBSERVATIONS AT 3 PM SHOWED THAT THE COLD FRONT HAD ALREADY
PROGRESSED EAST INTO OUR CWA AND EXTENDED FROM GREELEY TO
LEXINGTON. TEMPERATURES WERE REALLY FALLING OFF BEHIND THE FRONT
WITH 3 PM TEMPERATURES ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA IN THE 50S
WHILE SOME PANHANDLE LOCATIONS WERE ONLY IN THE UPPER 40S.
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTED AN EXPANDING CUMULUS FIELD ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN CWA WHERE SUNSHINE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WAS ALLOWING FOR
DESTABILIZATION AND MLCAPE VALUES OF AROUND 1000 J/KG. THERE IS
PLENTY OF FORCING GIVEN STRENGTH OF UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM IN
COMBINATION WITH SFC FRONT. THE COMBINATION OF FORCING AND
INSTABILITY WILL BE ENOUGH FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION ALONG THE
FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON PRIMARILY AFTER 4 OR 5 PM.
THEREFORE...WITH THE COLD FRONT ALREADY TRACKING ACROSS OUR
CWA...BELIEVE THAT THE HIGHEST POPS WILL BE ACROSS OUR EASTERN AND
SOUTHERN ZONES WHERE THERE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE TIME FOR FURTHER
DESTABILIZATION PRIOR TO FRONTAL PASSAGE. DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 40
TO 60 KTS IS CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE WEATHER BUT WITH LIMITED
INSTABILITY BELIEVE THAT ANY SEVERE STORMS SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT
ISOLATED WITH MOST THUNDERSTORMS REMAINING BELOW SEVERE LIMITS.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE IN INTENSITY BY LATE EVENING
AND SHOULD PUSH OUT OF THE AREA DURING THE EARLY MORNING PRE DAWN
HOURS.

TUESDAY IS SETTING UP TO BE A COOL AND DRY DAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
UNDER AN AREA OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE. HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL PRIMARILY
BE IN THE 60S OVER NEBRASKA TO AROUND 70 ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.

LONG TERM...12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.  FORECAST CHALLENGE IS PRECIPITATION
CHANCES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.

AFTER A QUIET DAY ON TUESDAY...ANOTHER WAVE IS QUICK TO MOVE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LEFT PRECIPITATION CHANCES OUT...AS
SURFACE FRONTAL PASSAGE TODAY INTO TUESDAY AND HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN RIGHT BEHIND KEEPS ANY DECENT MOISTURE TO THE SOUTH OF
THE AREA. CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK ARE SHAPING UP TO BE
PRETTY NICE. AT THE SURFACE...THE AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE...WHICH SLIDES OFF TO THE EAST AS THE
WEEK PASSES. A TROUGH DEVELOPS ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS LATER IN THE
WEEK...HELPING TO BRING WINDS BACK OUT OF THE SOUTH. IN THE UPPER
LEVELS...SHORTWAVE RIDGING TAKES PLACE IN BETWEEN A TROUGH ACROSS
THE EASTERN CONUS AND AHEAD OF THE TROUGH ACROSS THE WEST WHICH
WILL BE THE NEXT WEATHER PRODUCER FOR THE CWA. THESE
FACTORS...ALONG WITH A LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER WILL
ALLOW FOR WARMER TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...WITH
HIGHS REACHING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

THINGS GET MORE INTERESTING DURING THE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
TIME FRAME WITH THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AND
SURFACE FRONT. INTRODUCED PRECIPITATION CHANCES LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY...THE SURFACE FRONT REMAINS WEST OF THE CWA...BUT
MODELS DEPICT AN AREA OF WARM AIR ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT
TRIGGERING OFF PRECIPITATION. MADE FEW CHANCES TO PREVIOUS
FORECAST WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...THOUGH
THE GFS RUN FROM THIS MORNING DID PUSH THE FRONT THROUGH THE CWA
FASTER. BUT WITH LACK OF RUN CONSISTENCY DID NOT FEEL CONFIDENT IN
MAKING BIG CHANGES AT THIS TIME.

AFTER THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH...CONDITIONS ARE DRY FOR MONDAY AND
DID NOT VARY MUCH FROM HPC GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 70S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S.
