AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
349 AM CDT THU OCT 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
THE JETSTREAM WILL CONTINUE DIG SLOWLY SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
CENTRAL PLAINS TO FURTHER DEEPEN THE SURFACE LOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL
KANSAS THAT MOVES NORTHEAST INTO WESTERN IOWA BY EVENING. TODAY
STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AND INCREASING DOWNGLIDE MOTION ACROSS THE
WEST WILL TRANSPORT STRONGER WINDS DOWN INTO THE AFTERNOON FOR
HIGHLIGHTS TODAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CHALLENGE IS WINDS TODAY AND FRIDAY. MODELS ARE SIMILAR WITH
THE SURFACE LOW TO FURTHER ORGANIZE AND DEEPEN WHILE LIFTING
NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA. AT 08Z THE SURFACE
ANALYSIS SHOWED AN ELONGATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FROM THE CENTRAL
CANADIAN PRAIRIES THROUGH THE PLAINS. THE COLD FRONT HAD PUSHED
EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH FEW SHOWERS REMAINING ON THE RADAR
MOSAIC ATTM. AS THE SYSTEM PUSHED EAST OVERNIGHT MUCH DRIER AIR
WAS DRAWN NORTHEAST THAT REDUCE RAINFALL POTENTIAL WITH POPS
LOWERED A CATEGORY OR MORE TODAY. AS NORTHWEST WINDS STRENGTHEN
INTO THE AFTERNOON INCREASING COLD AIR ADVECTION OCCURS FOR H85
THERMAL TROUGH TO EXTEND SOUTHEAST AND SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH THE
DAY. CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS WILL LINGER WITH TEMPERATURES TRENDED
TOWARD THE COOLER MET NUMBERS. THEN THE HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN
REPLACED WITH A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR AREAS WEST OF HIGHWAY 83
THROUGH 03Z. THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MODELS AND BUFKIT
SOUNDING DATA SHOWING 35 TO 45 KNOT WINDS TO EASILY MIX DOWN THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE LAPSE RATES STEEPEN. FURTHER EAST...THE WIND
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT BUT DELAYED INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE
STRONG WINDS WILL THEN LINGER ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL OVERNIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. A WIND ADVISORY IS ALSO POSTED FOR THE WEST DURING THE
DAYTIME FRIDAY IN ADDITION TO THE NORTH CENTRAL.

TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OCCLUDES OVER IOWA KEEPING
THE WRAP AROUND CLOUD COVERAGE PREVAILING ACROSS THE NORTH. THE LOW
POPS WERE CARRIED FORWARD AS STEEP LAPSE RATES AND ENERGY
ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW WHILE THE DEFORMATION ZONE SHIFTS
EASTWARD. FRIDAY THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO PULL EAST FOR CLEARING
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND LATE INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL. THIS SHOULD
HELP TEMPERATURES REBOUND SOME IN THE WEST DURING THE DAY. DRIER
AIR HOWEVER MAY LEAD TO A WIDESPREAD FROST IN THE WEST SATURDAY MORNING.
PATCHY FROST WAS INTRODUCED BUT WITH THE DRIER AIR TO ARRIVE
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 20 SHOULD BE EXTENSIVE ENOUGH FOR A
WIDESPREAD FROST FOR AREAS WEST OF HIGHWAY 83 THAT CAN BE
EVALUATED WITH THE NEXT COUPLE OF RUNS.

THE WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS UNSETTLED INTO NEXT WEEK WITH THE NEXT
SYSTEM FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE FOUR CORNERS REGION SUNDAY
NIGHT WITH THE WARM FRONT EXTENDING NORTHEAST THROUGH NORTHERN
NEBRASKA. RAISED POPS THROUGH MONDAY AS SYSTEM SLOWLY EMERGES ONTO
THE PLAINS AND DROPS SOUTHEAST. THE H5 LONGWAVE TROUGH IS SLOW TO
TO MOVE EAST THAT WILL KEEP COOLER TEMPERATURES AND THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION THROUGH DAY 5 WITH FEW CHANCE MADE IN THE EXTENDED.
&&

.AVIATION...
     OUR CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT STRONG NORTHWEST WIND WILL BE THE
GREATEST IMPEDANCE TO FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN CENTRAL AND WESTERN
NEBRASKA. BY 16Z...FROM VALENTINE AND NORTH PLATTE
WEST...SUSTAINED WIND IS EXPECTED TO BE 35-40KT WITH 50KT GUSTS.
THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FORECASTS FOR KLBF AND KVTN. AFTER
03Z..WIND IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH...BUT WILL STILL BE 20-25KT WITH
35KT GUSTS POSSIBLE. IN CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...WE
EXPECTED WIND TO BE 30-35KT...BUT IS LIKELY TO BEGIN BY 18Z AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY. OTHER FORECAST
PROBLEMS MAY BE THE CEILINGS. MARGINAL CEILINGS ARE LIKELY IN
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THROUGH 15Z FRIDAY AND IN NORTHWEST
NEBRASKA UNTIL 06Z. THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE TAF FOR KVTN. FOR
KLBF...OUR CONFIDENCE IN THE MVFR CEILINGS IS NOT AS HIGH...SO WE
WILL KEEP THE CEILING 3000-3500AGL AFTER 13Z.
