AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
159 PM CST SUN FEB 8 2009

.SHORT TERM....TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. PRIMARY FOCUS IN THE SHORT
TERM CENTERS AROUND THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH WINDS
REACHING TO RIGHT AROUND ADVISORY CRITERIA. EARLY AFTERNOON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS A DEEP TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WITH THE
UPPER VORT MAX EXTENDING FROM THE NORTHERN BAJA REGION OF MEXICO
INTO ARIZONA. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS STREAMING NORTHWARD AHEAD OF
ADVANCING TROUGH...WITH 1 PM DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 50S ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

WARM MOIST AIR WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT AND
EXPECT RISING TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE
UPPER SHORT WAVE WILL RACE NORTHEAST INTO NEBRASKA AND KANSAS BY
NOON ON MONDAY. FORECAST MODELS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THEIR DEPICTION
OF A STRENGTHENING/DEEPENING SYSTEM THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY AS THE
SYSTEM EJECTS OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND TRACKS ACROSS OUR CWA. THE
DISAGREEMENT IS PRIMARILY FOCUSED MORE ON THE DEGREE OF STRENGTHENING
WITH THE NAM SHOWING A SLIGHTLY STRONGER MORE VERTICALLY STACKED
STORM SYSTEM. A STRONGER MORE VERTICALLY STACKED SYSTEM WILL HAVE A
BETTER DRY PUNCH THAT COULD CLEAR CLOUDS FROM OUR EASTERN ZONES AND
ALLOW FOR ENOUGH DESTABILIZATION TO ENHANCE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND
EVEN MAKE AN ISOLATED SEVERE LOW TOPPED MINI SUPERCELL A
POSSIBILITY. THE 12Z NAM IS SHOWING A RATHER CLASSIC LOOKING SET UP
FOR LOW TOPPED MINI SUPERCELLS ACROSS OUR EASTERN CWA WITH THE 12Z
GFS NOT QUITE AS FAVORABLE. DEWPOINTS SHOULD NEAR 50
DEGREES MONDAY MORNING AND THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE HOW STRONG OF A
MID LEVEL DRY PUNCH CAN WE GET...AND WILL THAT ALLOW FOR ENOUGH
CLEARING FOR AT LEAST MARGINAL DESTABILIZATION. IF EVERYTHING WORKED
OUT JUST RIGHT THERE WOULD BE AT LEAST SOME RISK OF A LOW TOPPED
MINI SUPPER CELL WITH SMALL HAIL AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO.
HOWEVER...THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CONFIRMED TORNADO REPORTED IN
FEBRUARY IN NEBRASKA WITH RECORDS STRETCHING BACK TO AROUND 1950. SO
AS ONE CAN SEE...THE ODDS OF EVERYTHING COMING TOGETHER JUST RIGHT
THIS TIME OF YEAR FOR A TORNADO IN NEBRASKA ARE VERY LOW. THIS VERY
SLIGHT TORNADO THREAT COULD EXIST FROM LATE MONDAY MORNING INTO
EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG THE TRIPLE POINT RIGHT AT THE NORTHWEST EDGE
OF AN ADVANCING MID LEVEL DRY PUNCH/CLEARING LINE. IF THIS WERE NOT
FEBRUARY...WOULD LIKELY NOT EVEN BE WORTH MENTIONING THE POSSIBILITY
AS ITS SO LOW. MORE LIKELY...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE A GOOD
POSSIBILITY ON MONDAY AND SEVERAL REPORTS OF SMALL HAIL WOULD NOT BE
TOO SURPRISING.

THE OTHER CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS
ASSOCIATED WITH IT. FORECAST GUIDANCE SEEMS UNDERDONE...WHICH IS NOT
TOO UNTYPICAL OF THESE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEMS. A
STRENGTHENING SYSTEM WILL OFTEN GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE WIND THAN
MIGHT BE ANTICIPATED. INITIALLY WIND WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH
SOUTHEAST AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM AND BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE SYSTEM PASSES BY. STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
ACROSS OUR SOUTHEASTERN CWA ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS A FEW THOUSAND
FEET OFF THE SFC ARE CONCERNING. IN ADDITION...THERE IS A STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT DUE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE STRENGTHENING
STORM SYSTEM. THEREFORE...HAVE OPTED TO INCREASE WINDS ABOVE MODEL
GUIDANCE AND WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR MONDAY ACROSS MY MY
SOUTHERN ZONES.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.  TUESDAY WILL BE IN BETWEEN
SYSTEMS AS THE MONDAY UPPER LOW LIFTS TO THE GREAT LAKES
REGION...WHILE THE NEXT TROUGH DIGS IN THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD IN THIS PATTERN AND EXPECT HIGHS TO
AVERAGE IN THE 50S.

THE NEXT UPPER LOW PUSHES EAST FROM THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE ACROSS
SOUTHERN KANSAS TUESDAY NIGHT.  THE GFS IS MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE
SYSTEM AND TRACKS THE H7 LOW INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI BY 12Z WED
WHEREAS THE ECMWF AND NAM HOLD THE LOW FARTHER WEST INTO EASTERN
KANSAS.  THE GFS HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN NOT GENERATING MUCH
IN THE WAY OF PCPN FOR OUR CWA WHEREAS THE SLOWER ECMWF/NAM SUGGESTS
OUR SOUTHERN CWA WILL BE ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE DEFORMATION
PCPN TUESDAY NIGHT WITH SOME LINGERING WRAPAROUND PCPN POSSIBLE
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.  HAVE NOT MADE MUCH CHANGE IN THE FORECAST
HERE AS IT STILL APPEARS OUR CWA WILL BE THE NORTHERN BUFFER TO THE
MAIN PCPN SHIELD.  THE RAIN/SNOW MIX IN THE FORECAST STILL LOOKS
REASONABLE BASED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS WHICH ARE COLD IN THE
MID/UPPER LEVELS BUT WARM NEAR TO ABOVE FREEZING IN THE LOW LEVELS.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL AGAIN BE IN BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS.
THE PASSAGE OF A TROUGH/COOL FRONTAL BOUNDARY TUESDAY NIGHT WILL
USHER IN SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR...AND HIGHS WILL DROP BACK TO THE 40S.
WARMER AIR ADVECTS IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT THEN ANOTHER COOL FRONT
MOVES THROUGH DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY AND HIGHS SHOULD AGAIN
AVERAGE IN THE 40S IN NEBRASKA...WITH SOME 50S POSSIBLE IN KANSAS.

ALTHOUGH MODELS WERE FAIRLY CONSISTENT ON THE FRIDAY SYSTEM 24 HOURS
AGO...NOW THEY ARE BEGINNING TO DIVERGE AGAIN WITH THE LATEST GFS
FAVORING A STRONGER CANADIAN/UPPER MIDWEST LOW AND THEREBY KEEPING
THE SOUTHWEST CONUS LOW WEAKER AND FARTHER SOUTH OF OUR CWA.  THE
GFS AND HPC NO LONGER HAVE PCPN FOR OUR CWA...WHEREAS THE 12Z GEM
INDICATES A WIDESPREAD EVENT ACROSS KS...BUT NOT NEBRASKA.  THE 12Z
ECMWF REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH A FAVORABLE TRACK FOR A WIDESPREAD
SNOW EVENT FOR OUR CWA. IN AN EFFORT TO MAINTAIN SOME CONSISTENCY IN
THE FORECAST HAVE OPTED TO LEAVE THE CURRENT FORECAST ALONE AND
FURTHER MONITOR TRENDS OF THIS END OF THE WEEK SYSTEM.

THE WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS PROGRESSIVE AND AFTER THE POTENTIAL
FRIDAY SYSTEM DEPARTS...YET ANOTHER CLOSED LOW OR OPEN TROUGH MAY OR
MAY NOT AFFECT OUR REGION AGAIN AS EARLY AS SUNDAY.  THE 00Z ECMWF
AND HPC FAVOR THIS TIMING HOWEVER THE GFS AND GEM ENSEMBLES HOLD THE
TROUGH BACK TO THE WEST ON SUNDAY.  THE 12Z GFS ALSO SUPPORTS THIS
AND FAVORS MORE OF A SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY TIME FRAME.  GIVEN THAT
THE LATEST OPERATIONAL RUNS ARE NOT IN LINE WITH THE ENSEMBLE
FORECAST AND THE GFS TREND IS FOR A SLOWER TIME FRAME...HAVE OPTED
TO LEAVE SUNDAY DRY ATTM.  WOULD LIKE TO AVOID THE FLIP FLOPPING IN
MODEL TRENDS AS HAS BEEN THE TREND WITH THE MID WEEK SYSTEM TRACK
(TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY) AND WHICH IS NOW OCCURRING WITH THE END OF
THE WEEK(FRIDAY) SYSTEM.

&&

.AVIATION...18Z KGRI TAF. IN SHORT...CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
WILL GRADUALLY DETERIORATE FROM VFR TO MVFR TO IFR FROM THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
SWINGS TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. PRECIPITATION
WISE...LITTLE IF ANY RAIN ANTICIPATED THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH
SHOWERS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE BULK OF
PRECIPITATION AND IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD FOCUS ON THE LAST 6 HOURS
OF THE FORECAST WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE RAIN LIKELY. AT THIS
JUNCTURE DECIDED TO KEEP MATTERS FAIRLY SIMPLE AND DEFER TO LATER
FORECASTS TO BETTER ADDRESS THE SPECIFICS AND POSSIBLY ADD TEMPO
GROUPS AS THE DETAILS BECOME CLEARER. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT OPTED NOT TO MENTION AS
COVERAGE OF THUNDER EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY LOW. LAST BUT NOT
LEAST...SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AS THE SURFACE LOW
DEEPENS...AND GUSTS OVER 25 KTS WILL BE COMMON FROM TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW.
