AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
623 AM CDT SAT APR 12 2008

.AVIATION...12Z TAF. QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THIS TAF
PERIOD...WITH VFR CONDITIONS. MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS HAVE BEEN
BREAKING UP OVER THE AREA DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS...AND EXPECT
THAT TO CONTINUE INTO THE MORNING. ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL PASS OVER THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON...BRINGING A FEW MORE CLOUDS AND A CHANCE FOR
SPRINKLES/LIGHT SHOWERS TO THE REGION...BUT CHANCES OF GRI
TERMINAL SEEING ANYTHING MEASURABLE ARE VERY LOW SO LEFT OUT OF
TAF. MAIN CONCERN FOR TODAY WILL BE WITH THE WINDS. A TIGHTENING
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL BRING AN INCREASE IN
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS...WITH SPEEDS REACHING NEAR 25 MPH WITH GUSTS
NEAR 35 MPH POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THIS EVENING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 351 AM CDT SAT APR 12 2008/

DISCUSSION...PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGES WILL BE IN DETERMINING HOW
QUICKLY WE CAN WARM THINGS UP THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND WHETHER OR NOT
WE CAN SQUEEZE A FEW MORE DROPS OUT OF THIS DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM
THIS AFTERNOON.

EARLY MORNING SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW WIDESPREAD
CLOUDINESS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. THESE
CLOUDS ARE FINALLY STARTING TO THIN OUT SOME...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR
EVEN MORE SUNSHINE TODAY. THIS WILL HELP TO WARM TEMPERATURES UP A
FEW MORE DEGREES FROM WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY...BUT COULD ALSO
RESULT IN A FEW SPRINKLES THIS AFTERNOON. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF
COLD AIR ALOFT SO A LITTLE SFC HEATING BY AFTERNOON COULD RESULT IN
ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A COUPLE SPRINKLES OR VERY WET SNOW FLAKES.
WILL LEAN TOWARDS SPRINKLES RATHER THAN FLURRIES DUE TO EXPECTED SFC
TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY THIS
AFTERNOON AS SOME SUNSHINE AND SFC HEATING WILL ALSO HELP TO MIX THE
STRONGER WINDS DOWN TO THE SFC. THOUGHT ABOUT ISSUING ANOTHER WIND
ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT BELIEVE THAT WINDS SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ON SUNDAY AND
NORTH WINDS WILL DECREASE. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MOVES INTO THE
PLAINS ON MONDAY AND SFC HIGH SLIDES EAST ALLOWING FOR WARM
SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW. THE COMBINATION OF UPPER RIDGING AND
SOUTHERLY SFC FLOW WILL HELP TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE 60S ON
MONDAY AND THE 70S FOR TUESDAY. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED SUNDAY
THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK. AN UPPER TROUGH PASSAGE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY EVENING COULD RESULT IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AT SOME POINT IN THAT PERIOD. HOWEVER...AT THIS TIME
ANY RAIN CHANCES WITH THIS NEXT TROUGH ARE STILL RATHER SLIM.
