AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1127 AM CST TUE FEB 10 2009

.AVIATION...18Z TAF. QUIET WEATHER WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THROUGHOUT THIS TAF PERIOD. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WILL START TO INCREASE AS
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSES THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT.
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL
TO THE SOUTH OF THE GRI TERMINAL. ALONG WITH INCREASING CLOUD
COVER...THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANGE TO NORTHERLY WINDS. THE
SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA WILL TIGHTEN OVERNIGHT...CAUSING
AN INCREASE IN SPEEDS TO NEAR 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR 30 MPH.
THESE BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN...BUT DIMINISH
SLIGHTLY...TOWARDS THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 AM CST TUE FEB 10 2009/

DISCUSSION...MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE PRECIPITATION CHANCES
TONIGHT AND TEMPERATURES.

CURRENT SATELLITE SHOWS ONLY A FEW CLOUDS LEFT FROM THE STRONG LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT MOVED THROUGH THE AREA. EXPECT THAT MOSTLY
CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY AS THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE AREA. LATER TODAY
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW STARTS TO AFFECT THE AREA. THIS LOW MOVES
THROUGH THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS...BUT A FRONTOGENETIC BAND SETS
UP IN NORTHERN KANSAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA. PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING THE FRONTOGENETIC FORCING MOVES TO THE EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA. HAVE A LITTLE CONCERN THAT THERE MAY BE A LITTLE LINGERING
PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT THE AREA WILL BE IN THE FAR
SOUTHEAST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. WILL LEAVE IT OUT FOR NOW SINCE
MODELS INDICATE THAT THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE OUT OF THE AREA. AS
THE PRECIPITATION IS IN THE AREA COLDER AIR ALOFT MOVES INTO THE
AREA. EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN AND SNOW MIXED AS THE
TEMPERATURES COOL OFF LATE TONIGHT.

ON WEDNESDAY THE UPPER LOW MOVES TO THE EAST AND THE PRECIPITATION
SHOULD BE OVER. SOME MOISTURE LINGERS ACROSS THE AREA IN THE MORNING
BEFORE MOVING OFF TO THE EAST. CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH ON WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL REMAIN WARM...BUT WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER
THAN TODAY. THE DRY AND MILD WEATHER CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHES THURSDAY NIGHT
AND FRIDAY. MADE NO CHANGES TO FRIDAY AND BEYOND.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1042 PM CST MON FEB 9 2009/

AVIATION...06Z TAF. GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE AT KGRI...BUT THEY
SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE NIGHT AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE REGION. THE TAF
PERIOD WILL BE VFR...THOUGH THERE COULD BE A FEW MID OR HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS OVERNIGHT. MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ARE ALSO
EXPECTED TO INCREASE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A STORM
SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION.
