AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
240 PM CDT THU OCT 1 2009

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY.  THE MAIN ISSUE IN THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL BE WINDS.  STRONG WINDS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS
AFTERNOON BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT MOVED ACROSS THE REGION EARLIER
THIS MORNING.  WINDS HAVE BEEN NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS OFF AND ON THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH AREAS UNDER THE MORE PERSISTENT CLOUDS STRUGGLING
THE MOST TO REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA.  THOUGH NOT ALL AREAS WILL BE
CONSTANTLY AT ADVISORY LEVELS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WILL CONTINUE
TO CARRY THE ADVISORY THROUGH 7 PM WITH THE 01.12Z NAM STILL SHOWING
SOME STEEPENING OF THE LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS
WILL WEAKEN A BIT THIS EVENING...BUT WILL LIKELY REMAIN BRISK MUCH
OF THE NIGHT WITH A FAIRLY TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE.
LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S ACROSS MOST OF
THE CWA.  DID NOT WORRY ABOUT MENTIONING ANY PATCHY FROST IN THE
WEST WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE COOLEST SINCE WINDS SHOULD STAY
UP THROUGH THE NIGHT.

FRIDAY WILL BE ANOTHER WINDY DAY.  THE TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT REMAINS ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO NORTH CENTRAL
KANSAS...WHILE MIXING IS SHOWN TO BE GOOD BY THE 01.12Z NAM BUFR
SOUNDINGS.  MOMENTUM TRANSFER FROM THE 01.12Z NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS
WOULD IN FACT SUGGEST THAT WINDS WILL INCREASE AND BECOME GUSTY BY
MID MORNING WITH NEAR ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS POSSIBLE BY 14-15Z.
AFTER COLLABORATION WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE
A WIND ADVISORY FOR FRIDAY.

FIRE WEATHER WILL ALSO BE SOMETHING TO MONITOR ON FRIDAY WITH
LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES FALLING INTO THE 20-25 PERCENT RANGE
DURING THE AFTERNOON.  OBVIOUSLY WINDS WILL BE STRONG...SO
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO APPROACH RED FLAG CRITERIA IN THE
AFTERNOON.  WILL NOT ISSUE ANY RED FLAG HEADLINES YET SINCE THE
FORECAST WILL FALL JUST SHORT OF CRITERIA...BUT IT WILL NOT TAKE
MUCH OF AN ADJUSTMENT TO TEMPERATURES OR DEWPOINTS IN SOME LOCATIONS
TO REACH CRITERIA.

TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY NIGHT WILL ALSO BE OF CONCERN...ESPECIALLY
IN THE WEST WHERE READINGS MAY FALL INTO THE LOWER AND MID 30S.
WINDS WILL ALSO DIMINISH FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY AS THE
SURFACE RIDGE AXIS BUILDS INTO THE AREA.  CURRENTLY AM GOING WITH
TEMPERATURES JUST ABOVE FREEZING...SO DID NOT ISSUE A FREEZE
WATCH...HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE GO WITH FROST IN THE GRIDS AND
MENTION IT IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

FINALLY...KEPT SOME SMALL CHANCES OF RAIN IN THE FAR NORTH AND EAST
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...THOUGH IT
APPEARS THE BETTER RAIN CHANCES WILL LIKELY BE JUST NORTH AND EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.  THE WEATHER QUIETS DOWN FOR
SATURDAY THEN PCPN CHCS RETURN SUNDAY AND CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.  SATURDAY WILL START OFF COLD WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS
ANCHORED ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF NEBRASKA THROUGH MUCH OF
KANSAS.  IN THE COLD DRY AIRMASS...OUR WESTERN COUNTIES WILL START
THE DAY WITH READINGS IN THE LOW/MID 30S WITH MILDER READINGS IN THE
EAST.  THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE
MORNING AND TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER WITH RISING HEIGHTS AND THE
ONSET OF SHORTWAVE RIDGING IN BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS.  THE AIRMASS
WILL REMAIN DRY THRU THE DAY WITH DPS AVERAGING IN THE 30S...AND
TEMPS SHOULD RETURN TO THE 60S FOR HIGHS.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY RETURN FLOW OF SOUTHERLY WINDS SET UP
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND MOISTURE IS DRAWN NORTHWARD AHEAD OF
ANOTHER CLOSED UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DIGGING INTO THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES.  ISENTROPIC LIFT/THETA E ADVECTION INCREASES ON SUNDAY AND
CHCS FOR PCPN RETURN.  MODELS DIFFER A BIT ON TIMING ON THE ONSET OF
THE BETTER PCPN CHCS WITH THE NAM THE EARLIEST AND THE GFS/ECMWF
SUGGESTING MORE OF AN AFTERNOON TIMING.  HAVE SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE
FOR NOW WITH CHCS INCREASING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS THE DAY WEARS
ON.  INSTABILITY IS MARGINAL HOWEVER MUCAPES DO INDICATE SOME
INSTABILITY AND HAVE MAINTAINED AN ISOLATED THUNDER MENTION.  SUNDAY
NIGHT THE SFC LOW IS PROGGED TO REACH EASTERN COLORADO WITH THE WARM
FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIFTING NORTH FROM NORTHERN KANSAS INTO NORTHERN
NEB AND THE LOWLEVEL JET STRENGTHENS TO AROUND 40KTS.  THEN ON
MONDAY THE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES SOUTHEAST DURING THE DAY AND
CONVECTIVE CHCS REMAIN AND NOW SOME SFC BASED INSTABILITY IS
EXPECTED TO RESIDE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES.

MODEL TRENDS NOW CUT OFF THE UPPER LOW AND RETROGRADE THE SYSTEM TO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH A SPLIT FLOW/NORTHERN STREAM TROF
POTENTIALLY CROSSING THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON TUESDAY...JUST DEPENDING
ON THE MODEL.  WITH THE POTENTIAL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH HAVE
MAINTAINED SOME LOW POPS.  HAVE LEFT THE FORECAST DRY WEDNESDAY
THURSDAY FOR NOW AS MODELS DIVERGE IN PATTERN IN THE LATTER PERIODS.

.AVIATION...STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE 18Z TAF.
OBSERVATIONS FROM ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA INDICATE GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE...AND THOSE SHOULD CONTINUE
THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE A BIT AFTER DARK...HOWEVER
THEY WILL STILL REMAIN BRISK MOST OF THE NIGHT. WINDS WILL AGAIN
INCREASE FRIDAY MORNING...AND HAVE MADE THEM GUSTY AGAIN ALREADY
BY 13-14Z. OVERALL..EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL...THOUGH
CEILINGS MAY APPROACH 3KFT EARLY IN THE TAF PERIOD. AFTERNOON
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS ANOTHER ROUND OF STRATUS WITH CEILINGS
NEAR 4KFT ROTATING INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA...SO THINK MUCH OF THE
DAY WILL HAVE SCT-BKN CLOUDS AROUND 4-5KFT. CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH
THIS EVENING...LEAVING MAINLY SCATTERED CLOUDS.
