AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
626 PM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011

.AVIATION...00Z TAF. CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS WESTERN
NEBRASKA AND KANSAS WITH MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION IN THE VICINITY
OF KGRI...AND STORMS MAY REACH KGRI IF THEY HOLD TOGETHER. WINDS
WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE OR FROM A LIGHT EASTERLY
DIRECTION OVERNIGHT...THEN SHIFTING SOUTHEASTERLY AND INCREASING
ON SUNDAY. MOISTURE POOLING IN THE VICINITY MAY LEAD TO SOME
PATCHY FOG DEVELOMENT OVERNIGHT...WITH POTENTIAL FOR VSBYS MVFR
RANGE. ENHANCED CHCS FOR THUNDERSTORMS EXIST ON SUNDAY TOWARD THE
END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 407 PM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. PRIMARY FORECAST
CONCERNS LIE WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

HAVE SEEN DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS ACROSS THE
MAJORITY OF THE CWA FOLLOWING THE OVERNIGHT/MORNING ACTIVITY...THE
LONE EXCEPTION SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN A NARROW LINE OF
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TRYING TO FORM ALONG A WEAK
SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS PORTIONS OF NC KS.  THE ACTIVITY HAS PULSED
UP AND DOWN...BUT HAS BEEN KEPT IN CHECK THANKS TO SOME LINGERING
CIN IN THE AREA...AND CURRENTLY ISNT AMOUNTING TO MUCH OF ANYTHING
MORE THAN A FEW SPRINKLES.  BUT ITS CERTAINLY BEING KEPT AN EYE ON
IN CASE IT TRIES TO GET GOING AGAIN. THE MAIN SURFACE FRONT IS
ACTUALLY A BIT FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS CNTR/NE KS...WITH HIGH PRESSURE
SET UP OVER THE CWA AND GRADUALLY SHIFTING EAST. THE MAIN FEATURE OF
THE DAY IS THE MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH...WITH SATELLITE
DATA SHOWING IT NOW SWINGING OUT ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS...AND
ASSOCIATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ONGOING ACROSS WRN NE/KS AND ERN
CO. MAIN CONCERN FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT
WILL BE HOW MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY SHIFTS EAST AND IMPACTS THE CWA.
MODELS ARE KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE
CONVECTION...AM EXPECTING AT LEAST SOME OF IT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT
OVER. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO AREAS OF ACTIVITY...THE
PANHANDLE OF NE AND THEN FURTHER SOUTH IN ERN CO...WHICH LOOKS LIKE
IT COULD CLIP THE SW PORTIONS OF THE CWA...AND ADJUSTED THE HIGHER
POPS TO THAT AREA FOR THIS EVENING.  WITH THE INSTABILITY/SHEAR
PRESENT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE REMAINS...AND WILL KEEP MENTION
GOING IN THE HWO.  KEPT ONLY SLIGHT POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT IN CASE OF
SOME PRECIPITATION LINGERING AROUND...BUT MAIN FOCUS OF THE LLJ IS
NOT IN OUR CWA...AND BY THEN THE SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED
TO BE MOVING OFF TO THE EAST...SO MOST OF THE POST 06Z HOURS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY QUIET.

AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY...EXPECTING DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH AT LEAST
EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT THINGS DO LOOK TO BECOME MORE INTERESTING AS A
STRONGER DISTURBANCE TAKES AIM ON THE PLAINS.  SIMILAR TO
TODAY...ANOTHER MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE
MAIN LOW/TROUGH SYSTEM OVER THE WRN CONUS/ROCKIES IS EXPECTED TO
PUSH OUT ONTO THE PLAINS LATER IN THE AFTERNOON/INTO THE
EVENING...SPARKING OFF ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS.  THIS TROUGH
IS EXPECTED TO PACK A LITTLE MORE OF A PUNCH...AND WITH THE EXPECTED
SURFACE PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION...COULD MAKE FOR A BUSY DAY.
DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO
BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES...WITH
MODELS NOT IN TOO BAD OF AGREEMENT SHOWING THE LOW NEAR THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN BORDER BETWEEN KS/CO. A TROUGH AXIS IS EXPECTED
TO EXTEND TO THE NORTH THROUGH THE HIGH PLAINS...WITH A WARM
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE EAST ROUGHLY OVER NRN KS...AND A DRY LINE
EVENTUALLY PUSHING THROUGH WRN/CENTRAL KS. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
START OFF ACROSS WRN NEB...WITH A MCS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND
CROSS THROUGH A GOOD CHUNK OF THE CWA THROUGH THE EVENING/INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH. MOST OF THE CWA
SITS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE MAIN SFC WARM FRONT...WITH PLENTY OF
MOISTURE/WARMER AIR BEING DRAWN IN FROM THE E/SE...RESULTING IN
SOME PRETTY HIGH INSTABILITY VALUES BY MID AFTERNOON. ADDING TO
THE FUN SUNDAY EVENING/NIGHT WILL BE THE FOCUS OF A STRONG SRLY
LLJ (60-70KT) ALSO INTERACTING WITH THE SFC BOUNDARY...WHICH IS
EXPECTED TO BE HOVERING SOMEWHERE NEAR THE NE/KS STATE LINE. LARGE
HAIL/WINDS/HEAVY RAIN WILL ALL BE A CONCERN...BUT LL SHEAR VALUES
WILL ALSO BE BETTER THAN SEEN IN A WHILE...AND THOUGH THE MAIN
TORNADO THREAT IS EXPECTED TO BE WITH INITIAL ACTIVITY TO THE
WEST...THAT THREAT DOESNT NECESSARILY GO AWAY WITH ITS EASTWARD
PROGRESSION. THOSE WITH OUTDOOR PLANS FOR FATHERS DAY...ESPECIALLY
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING...ARE ENCOURAGED TO
STAY UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST FORECAST.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER AROUND THE CWA THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HALF OR SO...WITH THE MAIN THREAT TURNING MORE TOWARD
HAIL/WIND.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE WARMER ON SUNDAY THAN TODAY...WITH
THE MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW HELPING DRAW WARMER AIR INTO THE CWA...BUT
THEY WILL ALSO BE DEPENDENT ON WHERE THE WARM FRONT SETS UP.  THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA ARE EXPECTED TO REACH INTO THE MID
90S...BUT SOME LOCATION CREEPING NEAR THE 100 DEGREE MARK WOULDNT BE
A STRETCH. FURTHER NORTH...MID 80S TO NEAR 90 ARE EXPECTED.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM
SYSTEM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WILL IMPACT THE CENTRAL PLAINS AT THE
START OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AND WILL BE THE FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST.

THE 12Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR WITH THE SFC AND UPPER
LOW POSITION PROJECTED TO BE OVER NEBRASKA BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE
GFS IS A BIT FASTER...BUT THE TRACK RIGHT THROUGH THE CENTER OF
NEBRASKA IS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE ECMWF. HOWEVER...THE 12Z NAM
IS MUCH FASTER AND FURTHER NORTH WITH THE SYSTEM INDICATING AN UPPER
LOW TRACK THROUGH NORTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND A SFC LOW POSITION OVER
NORTHWEST IOWA BY LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE SREF ENSEMBLE MEAN
SHOWS AN UPPER LOW TRACK THAT IS FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE 12Z
NAM...BUT FURTHER NORTH THAN THE 12Z GFS AND ECMWF. THE GFS AND
ECMWF HAVE A BETTER RECORD WITH STORM TRACKS WHEN IT COMES TO BIG
SYNOPTIC SYSTEMS THAN THE NAM. GIVEN HISTORICAL BIASES AND THE
DEGREE TO WHICH THE 12Z NAM IS AN OUTLIER...HAVE ESSENTIALLY THROWN
OUT THE 12Z NAM FROM MUCH CONSIDERATION IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.

THERE WILL LIKELY BE TWO PRIMARY AREAS OF CONVECTION ON MONDAY. ONE
AREA...WHICH WILL BE THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT AREA WILL BE ALONG A
PREFRONTAL TROUGH IN THE WARM SECTOR OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW. THIS WILL
LIKELY SET UP ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA AND WILL RESULT IN A
NOTEWORTHY SEVERE WEATHER SET UP. HOWEVER...AM CONCERNED THAT THIS
SYSTEM MIGHT SLOW DOWN JUST ENOUGH TO RESULT IN POSSIBLE
THUNDERSTORM INITIATION IN OUR EASTERN COUNTIES MONDAY AFTERNOON
PRIOR TO A QUICK EXODUS EAST OUT OF OUR CWA. THE SECOND AREA OF
CONVECTION...WHICH SHOULD FOR THE MOST PART BE NON SEVERE AND MORE
SHOWERY...WILL BE POST FRONTAL ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. THIS WILL BE DEFORMATION BAND RAINFALL IN SOME AREAS
NORTHWEST OF THE UPPER LOW AND COULD RESULT IN HEAVY RAIN. OUR
FORECAST AREA WILL GENERALLY FALL BETWEEN THESE TWO AREAS OF PRIMARY
FOCUS. CONSEQUENTLY...PRECIPITATION CHANCES ON MONDAY WILL REMAIN
LOW DUE TO A GENERALLY POOR STORM TRACK FOR OUR AREA TO SEE MUCH.

THE UPPER LOW WILL TRACK NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA ON
TUESDAY. THIS WILL STILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE SLIGHT POPS FOR
VERY ISOLATED INSTABILITY SHOWERS GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF COLD AIR
ALOFT FOR THIS LATE IN THE SEASON. DRY WEATHER WILL THEN PREVAIL
FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE
AREA.

THE RIDGE MAY FLATTEN SOME BY NEXT WEEKEND AND WILL THROW IN A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...BUT
CONFIDENCE THAT FAR OUT IN THIS KIND OF PATTERN IS LOW.

AVIATION...18Z TAF. VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST FOR THE MAJORITY OF
THIS TAF FORECAST...WITH MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN COMING LATER THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THEN AGAIN EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR REDUCED VISIBILITIES. A
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES WILL BRING
INCREASING CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
REGION...WHICH COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE TERMINAL. CONFIDENCE IS
NOT OVERLY HIGH THAT THESE THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WILL START OUT
WEST IN THE HIGH PLAINS THEN SHIFT EAST...WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT THE
TERMINAL...WHICH IS WHY IT WAS KEPT IN A TEMPO GROUP. WILL SEE HOW
ANY ACTIVITY PROGRESSES THIS AFTERNOON. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SET
UP OVER A GOOD PORTION OF THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS IS KEEPING
WINDS GENERALLY EASTERLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND FAIRLY LIGHT WHICH
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE TAF PERIOD. DECIDED TO KEEP THE
MENTION OF LOWERED VISBYS GOING FOR EARLY SUN MORNING...WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS...AM CONCERNED ABOUT
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME PATCHY FOG. TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF
PERIOD...MORE SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS DEVELOP WITH THE SFC HIGH
SLIDING EAST AND LOW PRESSURE BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED OVER ERN
CO.
