AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1217 AM CDT THU MAY 19 2011

.AVIATION...06Z TAF. LOTS OF AVIATION CONCERNS DURING THE TAF
PERIOD. A LINE OF TSTMS HAS DEVELOPED IN NC KANSAS AND WITH AN
INCREASING LLVL JET TONIGHT...THE CONVECTION WILL SPREAD NORTH
INTO KGRI PRIOR TO DAYBREAK. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY FM AN EASTERLY
DIRECTION WITH GUSTS NEAR 25KTS EXPECTED STARTING OVERNIGHT AND
LASTING INTO THURSDAY. LIFR CIGS WILL WORK THEIR WAY NORTH IN
INCREASING LLVL MOISTURE AND WHEN TSTMS ARE NOT AROUND...AREAS OF
DRIZZLE LOOK PROMISING. VSBYS WILL BE REDUCED FM CONVECTION AND IN
FOG/DRIZZLE WITH IFR VSBYS FOR THE MOST PART. HAVE DROPPED THUNDER
MENTION FOR A FEW HOURS THURSDAY AFTN BUT BROUGHT THUNDER BACK IN
LATER IN THE EVENING WITH NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING.
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MAY DEVELOP TONIGHT WITH CHCS FOR SEVERE
WEATHER CONTINUING ON THURSDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 943 PM CDT WED MAY 18 2011/

UPDATE...PRIMARY UPDATE WAS TO DELAY THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION
FOR MOST AREAS UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. IN FACT...AREAS NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80 MAY SEE LITTLE MORE THAN SPRINKLES UNTIL AROUND
DAYBREAK TOMORROW. THE LOW LEVEL JET SHOULD HELP TO FIRE
THUNDERSTORMS UP AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS NORTHERN KANSAS. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN TRACK NORTH INTO SOUTHERN NEBRASKA BUT MAY
NOT REACH OUR NORTHERN MOST ZONES LIKE GENOA AND ORD UNTIL AFTER
DAYBREAK OR POSSIBLY EVEN MID MORNING.

ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT ACROSS KANSAS. THERE
IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW MARGINALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS PRIMARILY OVER KANSAS WITH MUCAPE VALUES
AS HIGH AS 1000 TO 1500 J/KG. MUCAPE VALUES WILL FALL OFF
QUICKLY FURTHER NORTH OVER NEBRASKA...TO LESS THAN 500 J/KG FOR
AREAS NORTH OF I-80 PRIOR TO DAWN.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 347 PM CDT WED MAY 18 2011/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY.  THE MAIN CONCERNS OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WILL BE THE CHANCE OF RAIN...ALONG WITH
SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBILITIES.  KUEX WSR-88D THIS AFTERNOON CONTINUES
TO SHOW A FEW SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS FAR NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
FORECAST AREA...WITH POSSIBLY A LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE IN THE SOUTH
AND WEST.  MID AFTERNOON MSAS SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACED A RIDGE ACROSS
THE MID AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AREA...WHILE A TROUGH WAS
LOCATED FROM NORTHERN TEXAS INTO PARTS OF SOUTHERN COLORADO.

FOR TONIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...ISENTROPIC LIFT IS AGAIN
EXPECTED TO INCREASE AND SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.  THIS WILL BRING MORE RAIN CHANCES TO THE
REGION...WITH THE MORE ORGANIZED AREA OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT AS THE ISENTROPIC LIFT IS MAXIMIZED.  THE LOW LEVEL JET
WILL ALSO INCREASE THIS EVENING...AND BY 06Z SHOULD BE FOCUSED INTO
NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.  INSTABILITY IS RATHER LIMITED
INITIALLY...HOWEVER AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES AND MOISTURE IS DRAWN
NORTH...MUCAPE VALUES RISE INTO THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE ACROSS THE
SOUTH.  THIS COULD BRING A FEW STRONG...TO PERHAPS SEVERE STORMS
LATE TONIGHT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS...WITH THE PRIMARY CONCERN
BEING HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS.

THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THURSDAY...THOUGH THE BETTER CHANCES DURING THE MORNING SHOULD
GRADUALLY SHIFT NORTH INTO PARTS OF CENTRAL NEBRASKA.  WINDS COULD
ALSO BE A CONCERN EARLY IN THE DAY WITH THE LATEST GFS NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE SUGGESTING WIND ADVISORY LEVEL SPEEDS IN WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THE NAM ALSO SHOWS BREEZY CONDITIONS...BUT IS
NOT AS STRONG AS THE GFS...AND THIS APPEARS TO STEM FROM DIFFERENCES
IN THEIR HANDLING OF THE SURFACE LOW POSITION.  THE GFS PLACES THE
LOW IN EASTERN COLORADO...WHILE THE NAM HAS IT IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS.
THE SREF/GEM AND ECMWF ARE MORE SUPPORTIVE OF THE NAM POSITION...SO
WILL FOLLOW THAT GO BREEZY/WINDY IN THE GRIDS...BUT NOT CARRY
ADVISORY LEVEL SPEEDS.

THE CONCERN BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL SHIFT BACK TO THUNDERSTORMS.
THE DRYLINE APPEARS TO LINE UP JUST WEST AND SOUTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY MID AFTERNOON BEFORE MAKING A SURGE NORTH AND EAST BY LATE
AFTERNOON.  THIS HELPS BRING 0-1KM MLCAPE VALUES NEAR 1000 J/KG INTO
THE FAR SOUTH BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR
A FEW SUPERCELLS.  0-1KM SHEAR VALUES INCREASE NEAR/JUST AHEAD OF
THE DRYLINE...AND WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION ALL OF THE SEVERE WEATHER
POSSIBILITIES INCLUDING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES...THOUGH THE MAIN TORNADO THREAT SHOULD BE CONFINED TO OUR
NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS COUNTIES.

THE LOW LEVEL JET AGAIN DEVELOPS THURSDAY EVENING WITH H85 WARM AIR
ADVECTION / THETA-E ADVECTION ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH THE
NIGHT...THOUGH THE BETTER CHANCES MAY EVENTUALLY SHIFT NORTH AND
EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AS THE LOW LEVEL JET TURNS SOUTHWESTERLY
AND THE AREA OF MORE ORGANIZED THETA-E ADVECTION EXITS.

LONG TERM...12Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  PRIMARY FORECAST
CONCERNS CONTINUE TO LIE WITH MULTIPLE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES...SEVERE WEATHER EARLY ON IN THE PERIOD...AND
TEMPERATURES.

LOOKING AT THE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY TIMEFRAME...CWA CONTINUES TO FEEL
THE EFFECT OF A UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SITUATED TO THE
NORTHWEST...WHICH REMAINS VERY SLOW TO MOVE DUE TO A RIDGE AXIS
EXTENDING FROM THE GULF UP INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION BLOCKING THE
PATTERN.  MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT /BUT SOME SLIGHT
DIFFERENCES DO REMAIN/ WITH THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN AT THE START OF
THE PERIOD...SHOWING AT 12Z FRIDAY THE CENTER OF THE MAIN UPPER
LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER ERN WY...BUT STILL VARY SOME ON
WHETHER ITS CENTRAL/NRN PORTIONS OR IN THE SE CORNER.  A 80-90KT JET
CONTINUES TO STREAM INTO THE FROM THE SW...AND EXTENDING TO THE S/SW
OF THE MAIN LOW IS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS WHICH WILL SWING UP OUT
OF THE ROCKIES ONTO THE PLAINS THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS ON
FRIDAY...EVENTUALLY PROVIDING A SPARK FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATER IN THE DAY AFTER SEEING A LULL IN
THE ACTIVITY.  AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE REMAINS NEAR THE CO/KS
BORDER...AND WHILE MODELS CONTINUE TO VARY ON THE PLACEMENT/STRENGTH
OF A SFC TROUGH AND WARM FRONT...THERE IS BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING
THE DEVELOPMENT/EASTWARD SHIFT OF THE DRYLINE INTO WRN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA.  THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE LATER
AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS AS THE TROUGH AXIS SHIFT IN...AND SEVERE
WEATHER CERTAINLY REMAINS A THREAT...WITH LOW AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR
REMAINING GOOD...AND INSTABILITY NOSING INTO THE CWA IS ACTUALLY
BETTER ACCORDING TO SOME MODEL OUTPUT.  ALONG WITH THE HAIL/WIND
THREAT...ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN WITH THE SFC
BOUNDARIES REMAINING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY...SO WILL INSERT A MENTION
IN THE HWO.  DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FRIDAY/INTO SATURDAY
MORNING...THIS TROUGH AXIS CONTINUES TO SWING THROUGH THE
REGION...AND ALONG WITH INCREASING LIFT FROM A 40ISH KT
LLJ...EXPECTING ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS ROUGHLY THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA.

GETTING INTO THE DAYTIME HOURS ON SATURDAY...SIMILAR TO FIRST THING
FRIDAY...WHILE THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING ACTIVITY...AM EXPECTED
THE CWA TO SEE A BREAK IN THE ACTION FOR AT LEAST PART OF THE DAY.
AS FAR AS THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN GOES...WHILE THE MAIN LOW ITSELF
HASNT MUCH A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT OF PROGRESS NORTH OR EAST...BUT IT
MAKES A BIT...AND IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER WRN PORTIONS OF SD.
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY IS LOWER...AS IT DEPENDS A
LOT ON WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.  MODELS NOT IN TOO BAD
OF AGREEMENT SHOWING YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS SWINGING
AROUND THE BASE OF THE LOW...BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION.  MAIN DIFFERENCES FOR SATURDAY IS THAT THE MAIN
LIFTING MECHANISM WILL BE A TOUCH FURTHER NORTH...AND THE PRIMARY
SFC FEATURES FURTHER EAST THAN ON FRIDAY.  FOR THIS REASONS
CONTINUED THE LOWER POPS...AND KEPT THEM CONFINED TO THE
NORTHEASTERN HALF OR SO OF THE CWA.  BUT BECAUSE OF THE FEATURES
REMAINING CLOSE TO THE CWA...CANT COMPLETELY RULE OUT CHANCES FOR
STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ACROSS EASTERN AREAS...SO WILL
KEEP MENTION GOING IN THE HWO.  ANY ACTIVITY WHICH OCCURS SHOULD BE
BRIEF AS IT CONTINUES SHIFTING NORTHEAST...AND DECIDED TO KEEP THE
SATURDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME DRY...CONSIDERING THE UNCERTAINTY OF
WHETHER ANYTHING WILL EVEN HAPPEN.

AM KEEPING THE SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAMES DRY AT THIS POINT WITH
THE CWA SITTING IN THE WAKE OF THIS LATEST SYSTEM...BUT THE ACTIVE
PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE INTO EARLY/MID NEXT WEEK.  HAVE POPS
STARTING ON MONDAY AS LIFT BEGINNING TO INCREASE AS ENERGY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DIGGING
ONTO THE WEST COAST AFFECTS THE PLAINS.  CONFIDENCE IN THIS
TIMEFRAME IS EVEN LOWER...AS SOME MORE NOTABLE DIFFERENCES ARISE
BETWEEN MODEL SOLUTIONS AS WE GET THROUGH MONDAY AND INTO TUESDAY.
TIMING LOOKS TO BE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT...BUT
LOCATION AND WHETHER THIS IS A CLOSED/OPEN SYSTEM ISNT FAR BEHIND.
BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS SHOW THE CENTRAL/NORTHER PLAINS TAKING THE
BRUNT OF THIS SYSTEM...SO DID RAISE POPS INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY
FOR TUES/TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT EXPECTED PLENTY OF ADJUSTMENTS WITH
THIS STILL IN THE DAY 6/7 PERIODS.

CONFIDENCE IN THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD
DEFINITELY NOT ON THE HIGH SIDE WITH ALL OF THE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES AND VARYING CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE CWA.  IN GENERAL AM
EXPECTING SUNDAY TO BE THE WARMEST DAY OVERALL WITH THE BEST CHANCE
OF BEING DRY AND SEEING SOME SUN WITH HIGHS EXPECTED IN THE
70S/LOWER 80S...BUT THINK THAT FRIDAY/SATURDAY WILL END UP FAIRLY
SIMILAR IN MANY AREAS.  THE COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED IN THE
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIMEFRAME /ESP TUES AND WED/ WITH THE
APPROACH/ARRIVAL OF THAT NEXT UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...WITH
HIGHS FALLING BACK INTO THE 60S FOR WEDNESDAY.
