AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
235 AM CDT TUE MAR 24 2009

.AVIATION...06Z KGRI TAF. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SUBSIDE
TEMPORARILY DURING THE EARLY MORNING...BUT WILL BECOME
SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER FROM MID-MORNING INTO THE EVENING ON
TUESDAY. WIND SHOULD NOTICEABLY SUBSIDE TOWARD THE VERY END OF THE
FORECAST ONCE AGAIN. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...HOWEVER
CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER TO ALMOST MVFR CONDITIONS AND THERE
IS A POSSIBILITY OF SPRINKLES OR FLURRIES...PERHAPS A STRAY SHOWER
OR SNOW SHOWER. THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IS LOW ENOUGH TO NOT
INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 910 PM CDT MON MAR 23 2009/

UPDATE...CLEANED UP GRIDS/FORECAST FOR THE EXPIRE OF THE WIND
WARNING/ADVISORY. ALSO HAVE SOME LIGHT RAIN/SNOW MOVING INTO TO
THE NORTHWESTERN AREAS AND HAVE INCREASED POPS THERE.

AVIATION...00Z KGRI TAF...UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN TO THE
NORTHEAST. THUNDERSTORMS MOVED QUICKLY OUT OF THE AREA AND NOW
WRAP AROUND CLOUDS TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA. CIGS TO BE BETWEEN
3000 AND 4000 FEET AGL. THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT RAIN/SNOW AFTER
MIDNIGHT. THIS MAY REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO AROUND 4 MILES. WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE OVERNIGHT. A RETURN OF WINDY CONDITIONS
LIKELY AFTER 24/14Z.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 321 PM CDT MON MAR 23 2009/

DISCUSSION...SEVERAL CONCERNS THIS PERIOD...THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING...RAIN AND SNOW LATE TONIGHT...WINDS TONIGHT AND TUESDAY AND
RAIN AND SNOW THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED IN SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE EAST THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING. THE FIRST
CONCERN WILL BE HOW MANY THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN IN THE FORECAST AREA
DURING THE EVENING HOURS. BASED ON THE CURRENT MOVEMENT THE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE MAINLY OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY THIS
EVENING. WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE HOW FAR THEY HAVE MOVED BY
FORECAST TIME. ONCE THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA EXPECT
THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY MORE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS EVENING.

THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS CENTERED IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS
AFTERNOON AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST. A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT HAS ALLOWED WINDS TO INCREASE WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE INTO
THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOME LATER THIS EVENING...BUT
BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT.

AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES TO THE NORTHEAST
TONIGHT...WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO THE
NORTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL BE ON THE COLD SIDE
OF THE LOW AND COLDER AIR WILL BE SPREADING INTO THE AREA. THERE
WILL BE SOME RAIN OR SNOW LATE TONIGHT. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
CONTINUES TO WRAP SOME PRECIPITATION AND COOLER AIR INTO THE
NORTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN AND
SNOW. FURTHER NORTHWEST IN THE MORNING IT WILL BE MOSTLY SNOW BUT AS
TEMPERATURES WARM A LITTLE DURING THE DAY THE RAIN IS MORE LIKELY.
WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN ON TUESDAY...BUT THIS TIME THE
WINDS WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST. WIND SPEEDS LOOK LIKE THEY COULD
BE APPROACHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON AN
ADVISORY FOR NOW WITH ALL OF THE OTHER HEADLINES CURRENTLY IN
EFFECT.

BY TUESDAY NIGHT THE UPPER LEVEL LOW HAS MOVED FAR ENOUGH TO THE
NORTHEAST THAT PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE DONE. MOISTURE LINGERS ACROSS
THE AREA TUESDAY EVENING BUT THEN AS A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
NOSES INTO THE AREA CLOUDS SHOULD DIMINISH. THE DRY WEATHER WILL
CONTINUE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES AS
WINDS TURN TO THE SOUTH AND BRING WARM ADVECTION TO THE AREA.

ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM STARTS TO AFFECT THE AREA ON
THURSDAY. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS STILL TO THE WEST...BUT A WAVE
MOVES INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW. AHEAD OF THE
UPPER LEVEL WAVE...SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WINDS BRING A RETURN OF MOISTURE
AND AS THE WAVE MOVES IN THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN ON
THURSDAY. AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW INTENSIFIES THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY COLDER AIR IS WRAPPED INTO THE SYSTEM ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE
LOW. THERE IS A VERY TIGHT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT AT 850MB AS THE COLD
AIR MOVES IN. THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES THROUGH OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS
BEFORE MOVING INTO MISSOURI. MODELS HAVE BECOME MORE CONSISTENT WITH
THE LOCATION AND TIMING OF THIS LOW. WILL HAVE TO WATCH AS THIS LOW
MOVES THROUGH...THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK WITH COLD AIR MOVING INTO
THE AREA AND THE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS COULD LEAD TO ACCUMULATING
SNOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. IN ADDITION...THE SURFACE GRADIENT
WOULD INDICATE THAT WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY STRONG.
