AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
309 AM CDT SUN OCT 26 2008

.DISCUSSION...

AFTER A BOUT WITH STRONG WINDS TODAY...TEMPERATURES APPEAR TO BE
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE OAX CWFA THIS FORECAST CYCLE. STLT SHOWED A
ONE-TWO PUNCH OF SHORTWV ENERGY DIGGING AROUND SRN CANADIAN UPPER
LOW. FIRST PIECE WAS MOVING INTO WRN WI WITH SECOND ONE DROPPING
RAPIDLY TWD NRN ND. LEAD WAVE HAD SHOVED CDFNT INTO SRN ZONES AS
OF 06Z WITH FRONTOGENTICAL BANDS OF CLOUDS AND EVEN SCT LGT
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES ACROSS THE CWA. INITIAL SURGE...AIDED BY
EVAPORATIVE COOLING HAD SPIKED UP WINDS...ALTHOUGH EXPECT THEM TO
SUBSIDE A BIT THIS MORNING BFR INCREASING LATER THIS MORNING INTO
EARLY AFTN AS SECOND WAVE BRINGS ADDITIONAL COLD ADVCTN ALOFT
ACROSS THE CWA. COLD ADVCTN AND UNIDIRECTIONAL WINDS WILL LIKELY
PROMOTE WINDS REACHING ADVSRY CRITERIA MOST LOCATIONS THIS
AFTN...SPCLY NERN ZONES CLOSEST TO TRACK OF COLD AIR ALOFT AND
WHERE 850 MB WINDS WERE FCST TO BE STRONGEST. AS SECOND WAVE DROPS
SE...ADDITIONAL CLOUDS ASSOCD WITH IT COULD HINDER HEATING AND
MIXING A BIT MAKING SOME AREAS...MAINLY SRN ZONES...MORE MARGINAL
TO REACH CRITERIA. BUT WITH 1000-700 MB LAPSE RATES FCST TO BE
STEEPEST THIS AFTN THAT AREA WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED THE ADVISORY
ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. NAM HAS SPED UP SECOND PUSH OF COLD AIR
MORE IN LINE WITH GFS/ECMWF WHICH COULD BRING STEADY OR EVEN
SLIGHTLY FALLING TEMPS THIS AFTN N AND WL DO SOME HRLY ADJUSTING
OF TEMP GRIDS. HOWEVER...PREV FCST HIGHS GENERALLY LOOKED
GOOD...UPPER 40S FAR N TO MID/UPR 50S FAR SW. LATEST NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE STILL INDICATES HARD FREEZE TNGT AND LOOKING AT 07Z TEMPS
MOVING INTO NRN MT THEY MAKE A GOOD CASE. ALTHOUGH WITH A STILL
SOMEWHAT WARM GROUND AIDING BLYR WARMTH...SLIGHTLY MILDER MAV WAS
FOLLOWED. SINCE MOST AREAS HAVE HAD A FREEZE THIS FALL AND GIVEN
TIME OF YEAR NO FREEZE HEADLINES WILL BE ISSUED WITH THIS PACKAGE.
HOWEVER...DECISION IS SOMEWHAT SUBJECTIVE AND MAY BE CHANGED IN
LATER FORECASTS.

COLD SFC HIGH WILL BRING A CHILLY MONDAY TO THE CWA WITH WINDS
STILL GUSTY...ALTHOUGH LIKELY STAYING BELOW WIND ADVSRY CRITERIA.
NW WINDS AND MORE SUNSHINE COULD ALLOW MIXING TO NEAR 850 MB WHICH
USING NAM/GFS COMPROMISE WOULD SUGGEST MID 40S NE TO LOWER 50S SW.
HOWEVER...KEPT THEM A BIT BELOW THAT ATTM GIVEN COOLNESS OF
AIRMASS MAY BE MORE IN LINE WITH COLDER GFS. WITH SFC RIDGE
MOVING ACROSS CWA MON NGT IT APPEARS MOST AREAS COULD BE COLDER
TUE MORNING THAN MON MORNING...AND WEAK RTN FLOW WRN ZONES PRBLY TOO
LTL/TOO LATE TO KEEP THAT AREA FM DOING THE SAME.  ALTHOUGH TEMPS
THERE MAY BE A BIT MORE STEADY LATE.

EVEN THOUGH DECENT WARM ADVCTN SPREADS ACROSS THE CWA TUE...WEAK
SFC WINDS COULD LIMIT MIXING. AND GIVEN COLD START TO DAY...TEMPS
MAY BE A BIT SUSPECT BUT MADE NO SIGFNT CHANGES ATTM. GOOD
AGREEMENT AMONG 00Z OPERATIONAL GFS/ECMWF/GEM ON CONTD WARM ADVCTN
INTO THU WITH 60S LIKELY. WEAK WAVE INDICATED BY MODELS THU
PROBABLY WON/T HAVE ENOUGH MOISTURE TO WORK WITH TO BRING
PCPN...BUT IT COULD AND IT COULD ALSO SPREAD A BIT MORE CLOUDINESS
THAN EXPECTED SO HIGHS THEN MAY NEED ATTENTION IF EITHER LOOK MORE
LIKELY AFTR LATER RUNS. AFTER THAT...GFS AND ECMWF BRING NEXT CDFNT
ACROSS CWA EITHER LATE FRI OR EARLY SAT WHICH MAKE HIGHS TOWARD
THE END OF THE EXTENDED QUESTIONABLE. ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOTED THAT
THEY HAD TRIED SVRL DAYS AGO TO BRING A MID WEEK FROPA ACROSS THE
CWA WHICH THEY HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY BACKED OFF ON.

.AVIATION...
FOR TAF SITES KOFK/KOMA/KLNK THROUGH 27/06Z.

THE TAF SITES AS WELL AS SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA.

VISIBILITIES WILL REMAIN UNRESTRICTED.
