WESELY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1206 AM CDT SUN MAR 22 2009

.AVIATION...06Z TAF. VFR CLOUDS...ON THE FRINGE OF MVFR HEIGHTS
HAVE DEVELOPED JUST EAST OF KGRI AND GIVEN THE SATELLITE TRENDS OF
THIS HAVE ADDED MVFR CLOUDS TO KGRI OVERNIGHT. ALTHOUGH
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN STEADY DURING THE NIGHT...WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A PERIOD OF REDUCED IFR VISIBILITIES IN
FOG. CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO THICKEN ON SUNDAY AND CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL GUST IN EXCESS OF 30KTS IN A
TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT...AND THE WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG
BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 354 PM CDT SAT MAR 21 2009/

SHORT TERM...THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. PRIMARY FOCUS IS THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT POSSIBILITY OF FOG TONIGHT AND NEAR
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS TOMORROW AFTERNOON ALSO CONCERNS.

AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT OVER THE
CENTRAL CONUS...IN BETWEEN POTENT UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING THE WEST
COAST AND ANOTHER TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH FROM HUDSON BAY. SUBSIDENCE
UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE HAS KEPT SKIES MOSTLY SUNNY THROUGH THE
DAY...AS MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE HAS REMAINED WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA.
TEMPS HAVE WARMED NICELY INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S UNDER THE
RIDGE AND AS WAA PERSISTS AT LOW-LEVELS ABOARD SOUTHEAST WINDS.
THESE SOUTHEAST WINDS HAVE ALSO BEEN ADVECTING HIGHER DEWPOINTS INTO
THE AREA...WITH MID-AFTERNOON SURFACE DEWPOINTS GENERALLY IN THE
40S.

THE WEATHER SCENE REMAINS QUIET THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. WILL HANG
ONTO A SLIGHT CHANCE POP FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT THINKING MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE CWA WILL LIKELY
STAY DRY THROUGH THE NIGHT. WITH LLJ AXIS POSITIONED OVER THE CWA
AND ATTENDANT WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY/THETA-E ADVECTION...CANNOT
TOTALLY RULE OUT A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS OR STORMS. HOWEVER...ANY
APPRECIABLE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE OR OTHER FORCING IS ABSENT GIVEN
THE LLJ BLASTING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE CWA THROUGH THE NORTHERN
PLAINS. THE WARM AIR/MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL KEEP TEMPS MILD
OVERNIGHT...WITH LOWS ONLY DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S.
THIS MOISTURE ADVECTION MAY ALSO LEAD TO FOG AND STRATUS DEVELOPMENT
OVERNIGHT. DON/T THINK VISIBILITIES WILL TANK AS BAD AS THEY DID
LAST NIGHT AS WINDS STAY UP MORE OVERNIGHT...BUT STRATUS MAY BE MORE
PRONOUNCED THAN LAST NIGHT.

HUNG ONTO A SMALL POP SUNDAY MORNING FOR SIMILAR REASONING AS THE
OVERNIGHT POPS...BUT SIMILAR TO OVERNIGHT...REALLY NOT EXPECTING
MUCH IF ANYTHING DURING THE MORNING HOURS. CONVECTIVE CHANCES THEN
INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON. POTENT UPPER TROUGH MAKES ITS WAY
THROUGH THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST DURING THE DAY...CAUSING THE SURFACE
LEE TROUGH TO DEEPEN THROUGH THE DAY...WITH A SURFACE LOW EVENTUALLY
DEVELOPING OVER NORTHEAST CO. THE MAIN WAVE EJECTS A LEAD SHORTWAVE
THAT MOVES ACROSS THE CWA SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL ACT WITH A
WEAKENING CAP BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON TO HELP INITIATE CONVECTION.
COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT...BUT THINK WE/LL
AT LEAST SEE SOME STORMS DEVELOPING BY LATE AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS
WILL BE SUPPORTIVE FOR THOSE STORMS THAT DEVELOP TO POSSIBLY BECOME
STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE. MLCAPES ARE PROGGED TO REACH 500-800
J/KG AS SURFACE DEWPOINTS CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER
50S...WHILE EFFECTIVE SHEARS AVERAGE 35-40 KTS. THE ONE CAVEAT AND
CONCERN IS HOW MUCH INSOLATION WE/LL ACTUALLY SEE...AS COULD BE
STRATUS TO START THE DAY WHICH IS EXPECTED TO ERODE...BUT WILL BE
REPLACED BY INCREASING MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS AHEAD OF THE
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE. NEVERTHELESS THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR SOME
STRONG STORMS AND WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT IN HWO. LLJ REMAINS
PRONOUNCED THROUGH THE DAY AT 40-45 KTS AHEAD OF STRONG SYSTEM...AND
CRANKS UP TO 50-55 KTS SUNDAY EVENING...HELPING TO FEED CONVECTION
AS IT WORKS EAST DURING THE EVENING HOURS. CONVECTION LOOKS TO PUSH
EAST OF MOST OF THE CWA BY MIDNIGHT GIVEN CURRENT TIMING. WARM
AIR/MOISTURE ADVECTION CONTINUES SUNDAY NIGHT...KEEPING TEMPS VERY
MILD OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUING TO BRING MOISTURE NORTH FOR MONDAY
SYSTEM TO WORK WITH.

WINDS ARE ALSO A CONCERN TOMORROW AS GRADIENT REALLY TIGHTENS. IT LOOKS
LIKE A MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AT THIS
POINT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN ROW OF KS COUNTIES. WILL HOLD OFF
ON SECOND PERIOD ADVISORY FOR NOW AND LET MID SHIFT GET ANOTHER LOOK
AT IT.

LONG TERM...12Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.  MAIN FORECAST CONCERN REMAINS WITH
PRECIP CHANCES.

MOST ACTIVE PORTION OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD COMES RIGHT OFF THE BAT
ON MONDAY...WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE WELL ADVERTISED MAIN UPPER LEVEL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OUT OF THE ROCKIES.  WHILE THERE HAS NOT BEEN
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WITH LATEST MODEL RUNS OVER THE PAST FEW
DAYS...THERE CONTINUES TO BE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES AMONG THEM WITH THE
EVENTUAL LOCATION OF THE LOW BY MONDAY EVENING.  MONDAY MORNING THE
LOW SITS OVER EASTERN COLORADO...MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE
DAY.  EXACT PATH/PLACEMENT VARIES SLIGHTLY BY MODEL...WITH ECMWF
STICKING TO ITS MORE NORTHWARD LOCATION. LAST COUPLE OF GFS RUNS
HAVE ALSO TRENDED THAT WAY...BUT NOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN LATEST
GFS BECAUSE IT ALSO SPED IT UP AND NOW IT IS THE QUICKEST OF THE
SOLUTIONS. THIS ENDS UP WITH THE GFS MORE OVER NC NEB BY 00Z
TUESDAY...WITH THE NAM A BIT FURTHER BACK OVER SW NEB AND THE
EC/UKMET/GEM/SREF IN BETWEEN. ALSO LITTLE CHANGE WITH SFC
FEATURES...WITH THE DRYLINE BEING THE FOCUS FOR INITIATION ACROSS
THE REGION AND THE MAIN COLD FRONT LAGGING A BIT BEHIND. DID TREND
POPS UP JUST A TOUCH DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...STILL SOLID
LIKELY...MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THOUGH THERE IS
NOT A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MODELS IN REGARD TO LOCATION OF UL/SFC
FEATURES...STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE INITIATION LOCATION AND
SPEED OF THE CONVECTION...AND HOW MUCH/IF ANY OF THE ACTION THE FAR
WESTERN CWA SEES.  EXPECTING IT TO BE A MAINLY MID/LATE AFTERNOON
THROUGH MID EVENING SHOW FOR OUR CWA...AS ONCE THINGS GET GOING...IT
REALLY DOES NOT WASTE TIME MOVING OFF TO THE EAST.  SEVERE POTENTIAL
STILL THERE...AND A GOOD CHUCK OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS ARE
INCLUDED IN THE SLGT RISK DY3 OUTLOOK.  LIFT DEFINITELY NOT AN ISSUE
WITH THE WELL VERTICALLY STACKED SYSTEM ITSELF AND SFC
DRYLINE/FRONT...AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR NOT SHABBY.  SOME UNCERTAINTIES
EXIST LOOKING AT INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE...WITH MODELS SHOWING
ANYWHERE FROM 500-1000 J/KG OF CAPE /DEPENDING ON THE MODEL/...AND
THOUGH THE GULF IS OPEN WITH GOOD SOUTHERLY FLOW...BEST DEW PTS
STILL EXPECTED TO ONLY GET INTO THE LOW/MID 50S.  AS FAR AS MAIN SVR
THREAT...AGREE WITH SPC THAT WHILE AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE
EARLY ON...HAIL/WIND LOOK TO BE THE MAIN THREATS...ESP AS THINGS
EVENTUALLY EVOLVE INTO MORE OF A SQUALL LINE.

ANOTHER CONCERN FOR MONDAY...BEFORE THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION GETS
GOING...LIES WITH THE WINDS.  AS THE SFC LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS OVER
THE HIGH PLAINS...THIS TIGHTENS UP THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
REGION.  ALONG WITH STRONGER WINDS ALOFT MIXING DOWN...IT IS LOOKING
MORE LIKELY THAT MOST/IF NOT ALL OF THE CWA WILL BE SEEING AT LEAST
ADV LEVEL WINDS.  CONTINUED UPWARD TREND WITH SPEEDS...AND UPCOMING
SHIFTS WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR POTENTIAL FOR A POSSIBLE HIGH WIND
EVENT. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY HEADLINES FOR NOW...WITH IT BEING 4
PERIODS OUT...AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT A HEADLINE MAY BE NEEDED FOR
TOMORROW.

FOR THE REST OF MONDAY NIGHT...ONCE THE MAIN ACTION MOVES
OUT...EXPECTING THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA TO SEE VERY LITTLE...AND
TRENDED DOWN POPS QUITE A BIT.  EXCEPTION WOULD BE ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN AREAS...AS MOISTURE WRAPS AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE
MAIN SYSTEM...WHICH IS SLOWLY SHIFTING NORTHEAST BECAUSE OF A RIDGE
AXIS SET UP ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS.  COLDER AIR WORKING IN FROM
THE NORTH WILL BRING A POSSIBILITY OF SOME SNOW MIXING IN WITH RAIN
OVERNIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...BUT NOTABLE ACCUMULATIONS NOT
EXPECTED.  ANY LINGERING PRECIPITATION INTO TUESDAY WILL QUICKLY
TAPER OFF...LEAVING THE REST OF THE DAY DRY.

LOOKING TO THE MID/LATE WEEK PERIODS...DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR
WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...BUT BEYOND THAT CONFIDENCE
DECREASES DUE TO MODEL HANDLING OF ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM/TROUGH WHICH LOOKS TO IMPACT THE ENTIRE CENTRAL CONUS
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.  ANOTHER SFC COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO PUSH
THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY...BRINGING PRECIP CHANCES...WHICH I
KEPT FOR NOW IN THE THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME AND KEPT THE
END OF THE WEEK/SAT DRY.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES GO THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD...MONDAY
EXPECTED TO BE THE WARMEST...BUT IS A BIT TRICKY.  WHILE SOUTHERLY
FLOW AND WARM AIR/MOISTURE ADVECTION CONTINUES INTO THE CWA...ANY
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER OR CHANGE IN SFC BOUNDARIES WOULD HAVE A BIG
IMPACT.  STILL EXPECTING HIGHS TO REACH INTO THE MID/UPPER 60S NORTH
WITH LOWER 70S SOUTH.  AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT...HIGHS ON TUESDAY DROP DOWN INTO THE MID 40S/LOWER 50S WITH A
SLIGHT REBOUND ON WEDNESDAY...BEFORE THURSDAYS COLD FRONT PUSHES
HIGHS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK BACK NEAR TUESDAYS HIGHS.
