AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1225 AM CDT WED OCT 5 2011

.AVIATION...06Z KGRI TAF. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
AT KGRI FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS CAN BE
EXPECTED AT THE TERMINAL DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...BUT ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO HAVE ANY OPERATION IMPACT. THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO
BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN...NOT LIKELY TO FALL BELOW 11KTS
OVERNIGHT...AND ONCE AGAIN INCREASING AND BECOMING GUSTY AND OUT
OF THE SOUTH AFT 05/15Z...AS THE LOCAL AREA REMAINS SANDWICHED
BETWEEN AND AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY AND A SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. A FEW MID
CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY EVEN AND ISOLATED -SHRA OR -TSRA WILL MAY BE
AFFECT KGRI LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...BUT
DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE...OPTED TO KEEP OUT OF TAF AT THIS TIME.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 650 PM CDT TUE OCT 4 2011/

UPDATE...THE RH VALUES WILL BE ON THE RISE AS WE COOL THIS
EVENING. THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW THE RED FLAG WARNING TO
EXPIRE AT 7 PM. THE WIND WILL ALSO WEAKEN SOME THIS EVENING...BUT
REMAIN BREEZY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 PM CDT TUE OCT 4 2011/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SUNNY SKIES AND
DEEP MIXING TODAY HAVE ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE MID
80S TO LOWER 90S. WINDS HAVE BECOME GUSTY...WITH THE STRONGEST
WINDS IN WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE A SOUTHWESTERLY
COMPONENT TO THE WIND HAS ALSO HELPED TO DROP DEWPOINTS INTO THE
30S. THE COMBINATION OF GUSTY WINDS...WARM TEMPERATURES AND LOWER
DEWPOINTS HAVE CREATED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS...AND
THOSE SHOULD STAY IN PLACE UNTIL TEMPERATURES AND WINDS DECREASE
THIS EVENING. WILL HOLD THE RED FLAG WARNING IN PLACE THROUGH ITS
EXPIRATION AT 7 PM.

THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT SHOULD BE QUIET WITH AN H5 RIDGE ACROSS
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST OF THE
UNITED STATES. AHEAD OF THE TROUGH ON WEDNESDAY...FIRE WEATHER
AND POTENTIAL RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL AGAIN BE THE CONCERN. WINDS
WILL LIKELY BECOME QUITE GUSTY AGAIN AS MIXING AGAIN INCREASES
DURING THE MORNING. 12Z NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS SUGGEST MIXING COULD
APPROACH H8 WITH SPEEDS OF 30 TO 35 KTS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED
LAYER. DEWPOINTS AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE MORE QUESTIONABLE WITH
THE H5 TROUGH SENDING THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF WAVE TOWARDS THE
REGION BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE NAM AND GFS SUGGEST THAT MID
AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE...AND THAT COULD
HOLD BACK TEMPERATURES. IN FACT...GFS GUIDANCE HAS COME IN MUCH
COOLER THAN THE NAM GUIDANCE...WHILE A CONSENSUS MODEL APPROACH
ALSO SUGGESTS TEMPERATURES COULD BE COOLER THAN CURRENTLY
FORECAST. DIFFERENCES IN DEWPOINTS ARE ALSO APPARENT BETWEEN THE
GFS AND NAM...WITH THE GFS KEEPING HIGHER DEWPOINTS...WHILE MIXING
DEWPOINTS FROM H8 IN THE NAM WOULD EASILY TAKE READINGS INTO THE
30S. WHAT IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO IS THAT WE PLAN TO KEEP THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH IN PLACE...BUT WILL NOT GO WITH A RED FLAG WARNING
AT THIS POINT. THERE ARE STILL TOO MANY THINGS THAT COULD KEEP
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES JUST ABOVE 20 PERCENT...AND THINK ITS
BETTER TO STAY WITH A WATCH FOR NOW.

A SMALLER CONCERN FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON IS THAT THE GFS AND TO
SOME DEGREE THE CANADIAN GEM SUGGEST RAIN ACROSS PARTS OF WESTERN
KANSAS COULD BEGIN TO APPROACH THE FORECAST AREA LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE NAM KEEPS THIS AREA OF PRECIPITATION WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON..AND WITH QUITE A BIT OF DRY
LOW LEVEL AIR IN PLACE...WILL HOLD OFF ON POPS FOR NOW.

LONG TERM...STARTING 00Z THURSDAY. AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL
PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD AS AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN RANGE AND AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH OVERTAKES THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE CONUS. MID AND
UPPER LEVEL JET ENERGY WILL POSITION ITSELF OVER OUR AREA LATE
THIS WEEK THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE TROUGH SETS UP TO THE
WEST. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE WILL EJECT FROM THE
MAIN TROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING WITH JUST ENOUGH DPVA
AND MID LEVEL THERMAL ADVECTION FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA.
FORECAST PROXIMITY SOUNDINGS FROM THE NAM AND OPERATIONAL GFS
SUGGEST THE TROPOSPHERIC COLUMN WILL INITIALLY BE A BIT DRY FOR
PRECIPITATION TO BE REALIZED AT THE SURFACE...HOWEVER GUIDANCE
CONSENSUS SUGGESTS SATURATION WILL LIKELY BECOME DEEP ENOUGH AND
LOW ENOUGH FOR AT LEAST SOME LIGHT RAIN ACROSS THE AREA BEFORE DAY
BREAK THURSDAY AND AS A RESULT...KEPT THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING
06Z-12Z THURSDAY. ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN FAIRLY LIMITED
WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING...BUT THE PRESENCE OF A NEAR 60KT
LLJ MAY PRESENT ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION FOR LOCALLY
ENHANCED INSTABILITY AND WENT AHEAD AND INSERTED THUNDER INTO
EARLY THURSDAY AS A RESULT. ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING
PRECIPITATION ACROSS OUR NORTH THURSDAY MORNING...GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS SUBSIDENCE WILL SETTLE IN BEHIND THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT THUS PRESENTING DRY CONDITIONS. THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE ROCKIES IS THEN PROJECTED TO MOVE
NORTHEAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS FRIDAY THUS HELPING THE LONG
WAVE TROUGH TO MOVE EAST SOMEWHAT. THIS WILL IN TURN INCREASE MID
LEVEL THERMAL ADVECTION ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THUS SETTING THE
STAGE FOR PRECIPITATION FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS INITIAL MID
LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY MOVE NORTHEAST INTO CANADA BY
FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT A SECOND MID LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
AT THE BASE OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH BY SATURDAY THUS PRESENTING
ANOTHER ROUND DPVA AND MID LEVEL THERMAL ADVECTION ACROSS OUR
AREA...RESULTING IN ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAIN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
THIS SECONDARY MID LEVEL LOW IS PROJECTED TO PUSH NORTHEAST INTO
THE NORTHERN PLAINS LATE SUNDAY/EARLY MONDAY THUS BRINGING AN END
TO THE BEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES...BUT THERE WILL STILL BE LOW
CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH REMAINS TO OUR WEST AND MID LEVEL THERMAL ADVECTION REMAINS
INTACT.

RETURNING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ALONG WITH INCREASING MID AND UPPER LEVEL
LAPSE RATES DUE TO THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PRESENT
INCREASED VALUES OF INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS DEEP LAYER MUCAPE VALUES SHOULD NOT EXCEED
1000J/KG DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...WITH THE GREATEST INSTABILITY
LIKELY BEING OBSERVED ON FRIDAY. SLIGHTLY MORE CONCERNING HOWEVER IS
THE PRESENCE OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 50KTS ON FRIDAY...WITH
30-40KT DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES FORECAST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WILL
GO AHEAD AND KEEP THE THUNDER MENTION FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AS A
RESULT...WITH A STRONG STORM POSSIBLE FRIDAY.

MID LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE ROCKIES WILL INTENSIFY QUITE A BIT AS THE
WESTERN CONUS TROUGH PUSHES EASTWARD. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A
DEEPENING LEE SIDE TROUGH ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE THUS INCREASING THE
LOW LEVEL PGF ACROSS OUR AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. GUIDANCE FROM THE
NAM AND OPERATIONAL GFS REFLECT THIS BY SUGGESTING BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR CWA BOTH DAYS...AND WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA
PERHAPS BEING MET WEST OF HIGHWAY 281 ON THURSDAY.

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE LOW LEVEL AIRMASS SUGGESTS ABOVE-NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY PERSIST UNTIL SATURDAY...AT WHICH TIME A
LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE IS EXPECTED TO CUT THROUGH THE REGION.
THAT BEING SAID...INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION SUGGEST TEMPERATURES WILL BE A TAD COOLER THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY WHEN COMPARED TO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND AS A RESULT...KEPT
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY HIGHS IN THE 70S TO NEAR 80. CERTAINLY SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY APPEAR TO BE THE COOLEST DAYS OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD AS CLOUDS AND PERHAPS SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION OVERTAKE THE
AREA. 10-12 DEGREE DIURNALS ARE FORECAST BOTH DAYS AS A
RESULT...WITH A WARMING TREND TO FOLLOW MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS CLOUDS
AND CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION DECREASE.

AVIATION...18Z TAF. SKIES WILL REMAIN NEARLY CLEAR MOST OF THE
PERIOD WITH NO VISIBILITY CONCERNS EXPECTED EITHER. THE MAIN
PROBLEM WILL BE WINDS...AND THEY HAVE ALREADY INCREASED ACROSS
PARTS OF THE REGION. WINDS AT KGRI ARE STILL NOT GUSTY...BUT THAT
SHOULD CHANGE AS MIXING CONTINUES TO GET BETTER THIS AFTERNOON.
WILL HOLD ONTO A GUSTY WIND INTO EARLY EVENING BEFORE DECREASING
THEM AGAIN. SIMILAR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON WEDNESDAY WITH
MIXING AGAIN INCREASING DURING THE MORNING AND GUSTY WINDS AGAIN
POSSIBLE BY LATE MORNING.
