AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
327 PM CST THU FEB 15 2007

.SHORT TERM...THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. PRIMARY FORECAST
CONCERN WILL CENTER AROUND NON DIURNAL TEMPERATURE TREND TONIGHT
AS WELL AS SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A WINTRY MIX TOMORROW.

ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER NEBRASKA AND KANSAS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES PRIMARILY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.  VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AN EXTENSIVE SNOWPACK ACROSS THE REGION
WHICH IS ALSO MAKING IT HARD TO WARM UP.  HOWEVER...SFC OBSERVATIONS
ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW DOWNSLOPE WINDS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS AS THE ARCTIC HIGH CONTINUES TO SLIDE SOUTH. THIS HAS ALLOWED
PARTS OF EASTERN COLORADO...EASTERN WYOMING...AND THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE TO WARM INTO THE 20S TO LOWER 30S.

SFC WINDS ACROSS OUR CWA WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AND INCREASE
AS THE ARCTIC HIGH SLIDES FURTHER AWAY FROM OUR AREA TONIGHT.
THEREFORE...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BOTTOM OUT EARLY...BEFORE
MIDNIGHT...AND THEN BEGIN TO RISE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS ADVECT WARMER AIR INTO THE REGION. THE REAL DIFFICULTY WILL
BE IN SEEING HOW LOW TEMPERATURES CAN FALL THIS EVENING BEFORE THE
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS KICK IN AND THE WARMING BEGINS.  CURRENT THINKING
IS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL BOTTOM OUT THIS EVENING IN THE LOWER
SINGLE DIGITS.

THE NEXT CHALLENGE IS PRECIPITATION TYPE ON FRIDAY AS UPPER LEVEL
SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH. THE MAIN POINT IS THAT THIS IS A WEAK
SYSTEM EMBEDDED IN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WITH VERY LITTLE MOISTURE
AVAILABLE.  THEREFORE...POPS ARE LOW AND WHATEVER FALLS WILL BE
LIGHT.  THE NAM AND GFS ARE SHOWING NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE
TRENDS. THE GFS RAPIDLY WARMS TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING IN THE
MORNING HOURS AND WOULD BE MORE OF A RAIN SOUNDING OR MAYBE A RAIN
AND SNOW MIX LATER IN THE DAY AS TEMPERATURES COOL ALOFT. ON THE
OTHER HAND...THE NAM HAS A STRONG TEMPERATURE INVERSION LASTING
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY AND WOULD BE MORE CONDUCIVE OF
FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET TRANSITIONING INTO RAIN AND SNOW. ALL THE NAM
ENSEMBLES RAPIDLY WARM THE SFC LAYER TO ABOVE FREEZING BY EARLY
AFTERNOON WHILE THE SHORT WAVE CAUSES COOLING ALOFT...WHICH WILL
RESULT IN EITHER RAIN OR SNOW DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
THEREFORE...ANY KIND OF SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN IN THE MORNING AS
INDICATED BY THE NAM...WOULD BE VERY BRIEF.  OUR BELIEF IS THAT THE
NAM KEEPS THE SFC COLD AIR AROUND TOO LONG...AND LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW
WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY PRECIPITATION TYPE. RAIN AND SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD ONLY BE TRACE AMOUNTS.

WINDS REALLY INCREASE BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE FRIDAY NIGHT AND COULD
APPROACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.  LAPSE RATES SHOULD REMAIN PRETTY
STEEP DESPITE BEING DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS HELPING TO BRING THE
STRONGER WINDS DOWN TO THE SFC. A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS COULD
LINGER THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS OUR NORTHEAST CWA BUT AGAIN ANY
ACCUMULATION WOULD LIKELY BE TRACE AMOUNTS.

.LONG TERM...FROM 12Z SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW A WARMING TREND AS THE UPPER PATTERN TRANSITIONS
AWAY FROM THE DEEP EASTERN CONUS TROUGH TO A MORE ZONAL REGIME OVER
THE PLAINS. HOWEVER...THIS PERIOD WILL GET OFF TO A WINDY AND COOL
START ON SATURDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN EXITING
SURFACE CYCLONE WILL KEEP STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH 850MB WINDS ARE SHOWN TO GRADUALLY
DECREASE THROUGH THE DAY...SOME POTENTIAL FOR WINDS TO MEET ADVISORY
CRITERIA WILL EXIST DURING THE MORNING HOURS.  ON THE POSITIVE
SIDE...TEMPERATURES LOOK TO RISE INTO THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S FOR
HIGHS ON SATURDAY.

BEYOND SATURDAY THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE RIDGE
CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN CONUS...SLIDING EAST INTO THE PLAINS ON
SUNDAY IN RESPONSE TO AN UPSTREAM KICKER WAVE SHOWN TO DIG INTO THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST.  THIS WILL HELP PUSH THE DEEPER COLD AIR NORTHEAST
OUT OF THE PLAINS WHILE THE LEE TROUGH BEGINS TO DEEPEN OVER THE
HIGH PLAINS.  THIS WILL RESULT IN TEMPERATURE RISING INTO THE 40S
OVER MOST OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA ON
SUNDAY.  WARMER AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE SHOWN TO PERSIST INTO
MONDAY...HOWEVER THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM SHOWN TO DIG INTO THE
SOUTHWEST CONUS WILL EJECT EASTWARD INTO THE PLAINS LATE MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY.  ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF ENERGY FROM THIS WAVE STAYS OVER
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...PHASING OF THIS SYSTEM WITH A WEAKER NORTHERN
STREAM WAVE WILL HELP TO PUSH A DECENT COLD FRONT BACK THROUGH THE
AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY.  EXPECT THIS WILL COOL
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ON TUESDAY ALTHOUGH WILL STILL AIM FOR HIGHS
NEAR NORMAL.
