AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1159 AM CST MON JAN 28 2008

.UPDATE...WE ARE STRUGGLING TO GET THESE CLOUDS OUT OF HERE OR
TEMPERATURES WOULD REALLY SOAR OVER THE ENTIRE CWFA. AS IT
STANDS...THE SOUTHERN CWFA WILL EASILY PULL THE 60S. THE CLOUDS
ARE ON THE MOVE...BUT IT WILL BE LATE AFTERNOON AT BEST FOR
SUN IN THE NORTHERN CWFA...AS THE SOUTH WILL CLEAR SOONER. OGALLALA
MANAGED A SPRINKLE OR TWO...AND RETURNS ON RADAR SUGGEST THAT
A FEW SPRINKLES COULD GRAZE THE NORTHERN CWFA THIS AFTERNOON...
DESPITE CIGS ONLY DOWN TO 8 TO 10K. NO BIG DEAL.

COLD FRONT IS PLOWING THROUGH NORTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA...AND WILL
LIKELY SEE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE CWFA LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY
TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF. VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. AROUND 06Z TONIGHT...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
RIP THROUGH...WITH NORTHWEST WINDS OF 25 TO 40KTS CONTINUING
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. RISK FOR SNOW LOOKS BRIEF AT BEST...
ALTHOUGH VISIBILITIES WILL CERTAINLY DROP WITH THAT KIND OF
WINDS. CIGS PROJECT TO BE MVFR FOR 6 TO 9 HOURS BEFORE CLEARING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 518 AM CST MON JAN 28 2008/

AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL MUCH OF THE TAF
PERIOD...HOWEVER A FEW MVFR CEILINGS ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW
ARE POSSIBLE BEHIND A COLD FRONT LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS
WILL ALSO TURN TO THE NORTHWEST AND BECOME GUSTY BEHIND THE FRONT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 313 AM CST MON JAN 28 2008/

DISCUSSION...SATELLITE IMAGERY AND 00Z UPPER AIR DATA SHOW RIDGING
OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...WITH A TROUGH AXIS LOCATED NEAR BOTH THE
EAST AND WEST COAST. UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE STREAMING IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST ALLOWING FOR MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER MOST OF THE
REGION. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS...WITH A TROUGH DRAPED OVER THE HIGH PLAINS.
THIS IS BRINGING SOUTHERLY WINDS TO THE REGION...AND WITH THE
CLOUD COVER...TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT HAVE STAYED MILD.

FOR TODAY...THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN SOME HINTING AT LIGHT
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE FAR NORTH FROM SOME MODELS...LEFT DRY
FORECAST GOING. SOUNDINGS SHOW THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF LOWER LEVEL
DRY AIR THAT ANY FALLING PRECIPITATION WOULD HAVE TO OVERCOME.
WINDS WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH THE DAY...WITH SPEEDS
HIGHER THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN
AREAS. A FEW AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTH MAY FLIRT WITH ADVISORY
CRITERIA...BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE FURTHER SOUTH IN
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN KANSAS WHERE A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT SETS
UP. ACROSS OUR CWA THERE ARE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT...BUT FEEL WITH
THE CLOUD COVER EXPECTED FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF THE DAY MIXING WILL
BE HAMPERED. INTO TONIGHT...CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION INCREASE IN
ADVANCE OF THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TO PASS THROUGH THE
REGION. DID NOT MAKE MAJOR CHANGES TO INHERITED FORECAST...JUST
BUMPED UP CHANCES A BIT. DIFFERENCES STILL REMAIN AMONG
MODELS...WITH NAM CONTINUING BE AN OUTLIER SHOWING BASICALLY
NOTHING FOR THE CWA. KEPT TIMING AS IS...WITH PRECIPITATION
STARTING AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND ENDING TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
STILL LOOKS TO BE A LIGHT QPF EVENT. BIGGEST ISSUE TONIGHT WILL
LIE WITH THE WINDS. THIS UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH A STRONG
SURFACE COLD FRONT THROUGH NEAR/JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION AND PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE FRONT WILL MAKE FOR
WINDY CONDITIONS. EVEN WITH THIS TAKING PLACE DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...FEEL THAT WINDS WILL BE GETTING CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVELS.
THESE WINDS MAY CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS WITH BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCING
VISIBILITIES...ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS...WITH ANY SNOW THAT DOES
FALL. AS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING...WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH AND SKY COVER WILL
IMPROVE. OVERNIGHT LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WILL DROP
WELL INTO THE TEENS WITH SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE NORTH.

INTO MID WEEK...COLD AIR BUILDING BACK INTO THE AREA WILL DROP
HIGH TEMPERATURES THROUGH MID WEEK INTO THE 20S AND 30S. WEDNESDAY
SHAPING UP TO BE A DRY DAY...TRANSITIONING BETWEEN TONIGHTS WAVE
AND ANOTHER APPROACHING INTO THE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY
MORNING TIME FRAME. CHANCES OF SNOW LINGER ON THROUGH MOST OF THE
DAY THURSDAY...WITH MODELS SHOWING THE BRUNT OF THIS SYSTEM
PASSING TO THE SOUTH.

MADE NO CHANGES TO EXTENDED FORECAST...AS DRY FORECAST GOING THROUGH
THE WEEKEND LOOKS GOOD. AFTER THE DISTURBANCE PASSES THROUGH ON
THURSDAY...GENERALLY ZONAL FLOW SETS UP WITH NO MAJOR WAVES
PASSING THROUGH. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND NEAR
NORMAL...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 30S.
