AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
354 AM CDT TUE MAR 24 2009

.DISCUSSION...
WIND AND PRECIP TODAY...THEN INCREASING CHANCES FOR SNOW LATER IN
THE WEEK...ARE THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS.

THE SOUTHERN END OF THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVED THROUGH OUR
AREA MONDAY EVENING HAS STALLED ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS INTO
NORTHWEST MISSOURI...WITH A FEW SHOWERS GRAZING OUR FAR SOUTHEAST
CWA. MOST OF THIS PRECIP SHOULD FINALLY SHIFT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA
THIS MORNING.

TIGHTLY WOUND UPPER LOW WAS NOTED ON SATELLITE AND RADAR LOOPS
SPINNING IN NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. SPIRAL BANDS OF LIGHT SNOW WERE
NOTED NEAR THE LOW...AND SHOULD SLOWLY PUSH EAST TOWARD NORTHEAST
NEBRASKA THIS MORNING. INCREASING CLOUDS AND COLD CORE LOW SHOULD
KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM CLIMBING MUCH THERE...SO MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN FROZEN WITH A MIX EXPECTED ON THE
SOUTHEAST FRINGES WHERE TEMPS NEAR 40 ARE FORECAST. PRECIPITATION
SHOULD END THIS EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHEAST.

WILL ALSO HOIST A WIND ADVISORY FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST NEBRASKA.
TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW THROUGH
750MB SUGGESTS WINDS OVER 30 MPH AND GUSTS OVER 40 ARE LIKELY THERE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. AGAIN...WINDS SHOULD TAPER SOME AS SYSTEM
PULLS OUT OF THE AREA LATER THIS EVENING.

RELATIVELY TRANQUIL WEATHER EXPECTED WEDNESDAY BEFORE FORECAST
BECOMES MORE COMPLICATED AS WE HEAD TOWARD THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
WESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW BEHIND EXITING SYSTEM WILL BRING AT LEAST
PARTLY SUNNY SKIES AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S WEDNESDAY. LARGE
SCALE UPPER TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO SETTLE INTO THE PLAINS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS STRONG JET DROPS SOUTH THROUGH THE WESTERN U.S. BAND OF
WARM ADVECTION PRECIPITATION IS SHOWN BY GFS AND ECMWF IN NORTHEAST
NEBRASKA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HAVE INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
RAIN/SNOW THERE AS TEMPERATURES DROP TOWARD FREEZING AND PARTIAL
THICKNESS PROGS ARE BORDERLINE FOR LIQUID/FROZEN PRECIP.

COLDER AIR SETTLES INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY AS UPPER TROUGH SINKS
THROUGH THE ROCKIES. BOTH 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF SHOW SURFACE FRONT
AND 0C 850 LINE APPROACHING THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR BY 00Z
FRIDAY. HOWEVER GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW MUCH MORE QPF ACROSS EASTERN
NEBRASKA AND WESTERN IOWA. TEND TO FAVOR THE ECMWF AND NAM IN THIS
REGARD WITH MOST OF THE PRECIP FALLING WELL WEST OF OUR AREA AND
NEARER UPPER TROUGH AXIS. STILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR PRECIP ON THURSDAY
BUT HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL FRIDAY WHEN SURFACE/UPPER
LOWS MOVE INTO THE PLAINS.

THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY IS STILL IN
QUESTION...BUT LAST COUPLE OF RUNS OF THE GFS/ECMWF HAVE TRENDED
TRACK FARTHER SOUTH...AND THUS LESS OF A THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACROSS OUR AREA. THE 00Z RUNS OF BOTH MODELS SWING THE LOW THROUGH
OKLAHOMA WHICH IS CLIMATOLOGICALLY WAY TOO FAR SOUTH FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW IN EASTERN NEBRASKA. BUT THEN AGAIN...MODELS ALSO SHOW QPF
EXCEEDING A HALF INCH FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT SOUTHEAST OF
INTERSTATE 80. AND TEMPERATURE PROFILES CONTINUE TO COOL...SO MUCH
OF THE CWA SHOULD SEE MAINLY FROZEN PRECIP BY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
WITH VARIABILITY OF TRACK/TIMING STILL BEING WORKED OUT BETWEEN THE
MODELS AND FROM RUN TO RUN...WILL CONTINUE WITH OUR CURRENT
RELATIVELY HIGH POPS FOR MUCH OF THE CWA...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...AND WILL MENTION IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK THE THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWS ACROSS THE AREA.

BEYOND FRIDAY NIGHT...LINGERING SNOW IS POSSIBLE SATURDAY BEFORE
SYSTEM PULLS OFF TO THE EAST. TEMPERATURES SATURDAY SHOULD HOLD IN
THE LOWER 40S WITH A SLIGHT WARMING TREND STARTING SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR TAF SITES KOFK/KOMA/KLNK.

MVFR CLOUDS WILL IMPACT KOFK THRU THE PERIOD WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW
POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. VFR CONDITIONS AT KOMA/KLNK...ALTHOUGH
MVFR CIGS SHOULD MOVE INTO THESE TAF SITES BY 22Z. SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL BECOME WEST AT KOFK...EVENTUALLY BECOMING GUSTY WITH 20 TO 30KT
GUSTS BEYOND 14Z.
