AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1143 PM CST SUN JAN 11 2009

.AVIATION...06Z TAF. FAIRLY ACTIVE PERIOD OF WEATHER SETTING UP
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL SWING THROUGH
OVERNIGHT BRINGING WITH IT A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW...AND A
WIND SHIFT FOLLOWED BY A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS. DRY
LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE HAVE KEPT ANY PRECIPITATION VERY
LIGHT SO FAR BUT AS THE LOWER LEVELS MOISTEN...SHOULD SEE A
LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT BUT STILL AMOUNTS
LOOK LIGHT. THE BIGGER FACTOR WILL BE THE STRENGTHENING WINDS
TOMORROW...WHICH SHOULD EASILY REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA AND COULD
NEAR HIGH WIND WARNING THRESHOLDS. SOUTHERLY WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL
TURN NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT...WHICH WILL PASS THROUGH KGRI
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE EARLY EVENING BEFORE GRADUALLY DISSIPATING SOME.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1006 PM CST SUN JAN 11 2009/

UPDATE...INCREASED LOW TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT BY A FEW DEGREES
DUE TO WARM AIR ADVECTION THAT WE WILL SEE THROUGH MOST OF THE
NIGHT. THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH NEAR DAY BREAK BUT EXPECT
MIXING WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE TO KEEP TEMPERATURES UP FOR A LITTLE
WHILE THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES SHOULD THEN START TO FALL BY LATE
MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON AS HEART OF THE COLDER AIR MOVES IN.
ALSO EXTENDED WIND ADVISORY END TIME FROM 6PM TO 8PM TOMORROW
EVENING AS GUIDANCE SHOWS WINDS WILL STAY UP A BIT LONGER. THIS
WILL BE A HIGH END ADVISORY AND MAY BE VERY CLOSE TO A HIGH WIND
WARNING IN A FEW LOCATIONS BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 PM CST SUN JAN 11 2009/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY. MAIN FORECAST CONCERN
LIES WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES TONIGHT...AND STRONG NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS TOMORROW. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. FORECAST IS TRENDED TOWARDS THE GFS/ECMWF
SOLUTIONS.

EXPECTING THE EVENING HOURS TO REMAIN RELATIVELY QUIET...AS THE CWA
AWAITS THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE PASSING
THROUGH THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW IN THE UPPER LEVELS. AS THE EVENING
HOURS PASS...A 150KT UPPER LEVEL WILL HELP THIS WAVE WORK ITS WAY
OUT OF SC CANADA...AND LATEST MODELS RUNS HAVE BEEN TRENDED
TOWARDS THIS WAVE BECOMING A BIT SHAPER AS IT SLIDES SOUTH INTO
THE NORTHERN PLAINS. LITTLE HAS CHANGED IN REGARD TO THE TIMING OF
THIS SYSTEM...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN HAVING AN IMPACT ON THE
CWA NEAR MIDNIGHT. BEST CHANCES OF PRECIP ARE EXPECTED TO COME
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT...AS ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASES
AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AND THE FRONT QUAD OF THAT STRONG UL JET MOVES
INTO THE AREA. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A LOT OF CHANGE WITH THE
LOCATION/PATH OF THIS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM OR THE ASSOCIATED AREA OF
SFC LOW PRESSURE...MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE DAKOTAS AND INTO
MN/IA AND EVENTUALLY MO/IL THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY. BEST CHANCES
FOR MEASURABLE PRECIP LIE ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA
CLOSER TO THE MAIN SYSTEM...AND FEEL AREAS EAST OF LINE ROUGHLY
FROM ORD TO SUPERIOR COULD SEE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS APPROACHING A
HALF OF AN INCH. AFTER 12Z MONDAY...THOUGH THE BULK OF THE ACTION
IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE TO THE EAST OF THE CWA...IT WILL STILL BE A
VERY WINDY DAY WITH A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS POSSIBLE. AS THE SFC
LOW SLIDES SOUTHEAST...IT WILL PUSH A STOUT COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
CWA...WITH GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG MODELS IN REGARD TO THE TIMING.
THE FRONT WILL HAVE PASSED THROUGH THE CWA BY MID MORNING...WITH
HIGH PRESSURE QUICK TO BUILD IN BEHIND. WITH GOOD PRESSURE RISES
AND CAA INTO THE CWA...NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL PICK UP QUICKLY
BEHIND THE FRONT...AND HAVE WENT WITH A WIND ADV FOR THE ENTIRE
CWA FROM 14Z THROUGH 00Z. EXPECTING WINDS TO BE SOLID ADV
LEVEL...AND AM EVEN A BIT CONCERNED THAT SOME LOCATIONS WILL FLIRT
WITH HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA...SOMETHING TO BE MONITORED. ONE
GOOD THING IS THAT THERE IS A TIME LAG BETWEEN THE BEST CHANCES
FOR PRECIP /TONIGHT/ AND THE ONSET OF THE STRONGEST WINDS /MID TO
LATE MORNING/. AND WHILE IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HAD THE TIMING
MATCHED UP BETTER...TOMORROW WILL STILL BE UNPLEASANT AND THERE
MAY BE PERIODS WITH REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITIES...SO THOSE WITH
TRAVEL PLANS SHOULD PLAN EXTRA TIME. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES
GO...HIGHS WILL BE REACHED EARLY ON IN THE DAY...AND FALL THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND THE COLDER AIR FILTERS INTO THE CWA.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE TOMORROW EVENING/OVERNIGHT AS THE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO SHIFT OFF TO THE EAST AND HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN
ACROSS THE PLAINS.  COLDER AIR WILL BRING CHILLY OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES...WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE
NORTH TO LOWER TEENS IN THE SOUTH.

LONG TERM...12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. THE ISSUES IN THE LONG TERM
REMAIN THE SAME AS THEY HAVE FOR THE PAST WEEK. WIDE TEMPERATURES SWINGS
FOCUSED ON A STRONG...BUT BRIEF...COLD AIR OUTBREAK AND THE LACK OF ANY
SIGNIFICANT MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION.

TEMPERATURES...TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE MILDEST DAY OF THE MON-FRI PERIOD.
THE CWFA STARTS COLD...BUT GETS THE GUMPTION TO WARM BY AFTERNOON. IT
ACTUALLY LOOKS SIMILAR TO SATURDAY...BUT A JUST TOUCH WARMER.  A
MILD NIGHT IS FORECAST TUESDAY NIGHT...AS THE REGION AWAITS
WEDNESDAY/S ARCTIC BLAST. THE COMMON THEME THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS
HAS BEEN WARM/ABOVE NORMAL NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES JUST AHEAD OF AN
EARLY IN THE DAY COLD FRONT. THIS LOOKS LIKE THAT PATTERN. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY ARE JUST ABOUT ANYBODY/S GUESS...ALTHOUGH THE
MOST RECENT GFS/ECMWF APPEAR QUICKER THUS LENDS ME TO A COOLER
SOLUTION. A STOUT NORTH BREEZE WILL DEVELOP WEDNESDAY WITH 20MB IN
SIX HOURS FORECAST. THURSDAY IS THE COLDEST DAY WITH DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. WARM ADVECTION WILL STEADY
LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE WEST...WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING FRIDAY
ON A QUICK RETURN SOUTH SOUTHWEST FLOW. CURRENT FORECAST IS FOR 30S
FRIDAY...AND THAT MAY BE A TOUCH WARM TOO QUICK...BUT A GOOD
STARTING POINT. TEMPS SHOULD CONTINUE TO CLIMB SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
TO ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS...AND POTENTIALLY WELL ABOVE ABOVE GOING
INTO MONDAY THE 19TH AND TUESDAY AND 20TH.

PRECIPITATION...THERE MAY BE SOME FLURRIES LATE TUESDAY ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHEAST CWFA IN STRONG WARM ADVECTION. THE ONLY OTHER PERIOD
OF INTEREST IS THURSDAY/THURSDAY EVENING...WHEN STRONG BAROCLINIC
ZONE JUST TO OUR WEST IS THE FOCUS FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW. ECMWF HAS
PUSHED THIS FURTHER WEST...AND THAT SEEMS MORE LIKELY BASED UPON
PATTERN RECOGNITION GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE HIGH /1045MB/...AND
DEPTH OF THE COLD AIR /8K DEEP/ SHOULD PUSH IT TO THE WYO/NEB BORDER
REGION. THAT TENDS TO KEEP THE MAJORITY OF THE CLOUDS/SNOW FURTHER
WEST. NOT SAYING WE MAY NOT CATCH SOMETHING...BUT THAT IS STILL
SEVERAL DAYS AWAY AND FINE TUNING THAT DETAIL CAN COME WITH
TIME.
