The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Nov 24, 11:49 PM CST, 3 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 24, 11:49 PM CST, 3 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1149 PM CST THU NOV 24 2011
.AVIATION...06Z KGRI TAF. VFR CEILING/VISIBILITY ANTICIPATED THROUGH
THE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH HIGH AND EVENTUALLY MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER
WILL STEADILY INCREASE THROUGH THE FIRST 12 HOURS OF THE
PERIOD...WITH A MID LEVEL CEILING ANTICIPATED FOR MUCH OF
FRIDAY/FRIDAY EVENING. AT THIS TIME...EXPECT NO PRECIPITATION...AS
ANY AFTERNOON/EVENING RAIN IS EXPECTED TO FOCUS AT LEAST 50-100
MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE TERMINAL. ONE INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT IN
LATEST SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS/SHORT TERM MODEL TRENDS IS THAT A
SHIELD OF IFR STRATUS CURRENTLY SURGING NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN
KANSAS COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE A RUN AT KGRI BEFORE SUNRISE...BUT
THINKING AT THIS TIME THAT THIS STRATUS SHOULD STAY AT LEAST 50
MILES OFF TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER...WILL AT LEAST HINT AT
THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS STRATUS FLIRTING WITH THE AREA BY
INTRODUCING SCATTERED CLOUDS AT 500 FT...AND MONITOR CLOSELY. IF
THIS STRATUS MOVES CLOSER THAN ANTICIPATED...ITS ALSO NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION THAT VISIBILITY COULD DROP AS WELL...BUT AGAIN NOT
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. ASSUMING THAT VFR CONDITIONS REMAIN IN
PLACE...THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE TIMING A STRONG COLD FRONT BLASTING
SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY EVENING. THIS WILL BRING AN
ABRUPT AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WIND SHIFT...AND FOR NOW WILL ADVERTISE
GUSTS TO AROUND 27KT ALTHOUGH THIS MIGHT NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 332 PM CST THU NOV 24 2011/
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THRU FRIDAY NIGHT. MAIN FOCUS IN THIS PERIOD
IS THE CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY. THERE IS
ENOUGH LIFT WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TO SUPPORT SOME SHOWER
DEVELOPMENT IF IT CAN GET AN INJECTION OF MOISTURE. MODELS
CURRENTLY SUGGESTING THE MOISTURE MAY COINCIDE BEST WITH THE
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST PART OF OUR AREA.
THE NAM SUGGESTS THERE WILL BE NO RAIN IN THE AREA AND IT WILL
DEVELOP WELL EAST OF OUR AREA. CONTINUED THE TREND OF A SLIGHT
CHANCE A SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE
CWA. FRONTAL PASSAGE ON FRIDAY SHOULD BE RELATIVELY UNEVENTFUL ON
FRIDAY...WITH ONLY SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS AND A WIND SHIFT MOST PLACES.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT OR 10
DEGREES WARMER THAN NORMAL. HIGHS FRIDAY SHOULD BE ABOVE NORMAL FOR
THE SEASON...BUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY DUE TO MORE
CLOUDS AND FRONTAL PASSAGE.
LONG TERM...STARTING 00Z SATURDAY. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST
A MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS DURING THE
DAY SATURDAY...ALLOWING AN ASSOCIATED AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
TO PUSH ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND A LOW LEVEL
BAROCLINIC ZONE ACROSS OUR AREA BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. MID
LEVEL THERMAL ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE TROUGH MAY PROMOTE ENOUGH
OMEGA FOR PRECIPITATION PRODUCTION ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST THROUGH
06Z SATURDAY AND AS A RESULT...LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING
ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST. THERMAL ADVECTION SHOULD PUSH EAST OF OUR
AREA AFTER 06Z...HOWEVER GUIDANCE DOES SUGGEST THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH WILL STRENGTHEN INTO A CLOSED CIRCULATION OVER NORTHEASTERN
NEBRASKA AND IOWA 06Z-12Z SATURDAY...WITH ENOUGH DPVA OVER OUR
AREA AHEAD OF THE STRENGTHENING PV ANOMALY PERHAPS PROMOTING
ENOUGH ADDITIONAL OMEGA FOR VERY LIGHT PRECIPITATION. IN ADDITION
TO THIS DPVA...A WEAK INDIRECT THERMAL CIRCULATION NEAR THE LEFT-
FRONT QUAD OF A 700-500MB JET STREAK MAY ALSO PROMOTE ENOUGH LIFT
FOR PRECIPITATION PRODUCTION AND ALTHOUGH MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION
APPEARS UNLIKELY GIVEN THE LIMITED MID LEVEL MOISTURE...STILL
CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW FLURRIES THUS LEFT THE SNOW FLURRY MENTION
GOING FOR THE ENTIRE CWA 06Z-12Z SATURDAY.
THE BIG STORY FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST REMAINS CENTERED UPON THE
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. BOTH THE NAM AND
OPERATIONAL GFS INDICATE 12-HR SURFACE PRESSURE RISES IN EXCESS OF
10MB WILL BE REALIZED ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA SATURDAY
POST-FROPA...WITH THE STRONGEST LOW LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCE
RESULTING WEST OF HIGHWAY 281. IN ADDITION...FORECAST PROXIMITY
SOUNDINGS FROM THE NAM AND OPERATIONAL GFS ALSO SUGGEST AFTERNOON
PBL MIXING TO NEAR 800MB WILL BE REALIZED...WHERE 50-55KT WINDS WILL
BE WAITING FOR TRANSPORT TO THE SURFACE. MOMENTUM LOSS DURING WIND
TRANSFER TO THE SURFACE STILL YIELDS A GUST POTENTIAL NEAR 50KTS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA...ESPECIALLY WEST OF HIGHWAY 281 AND
NORTH OF HIGHWAY 6. GIVEN ALL THIS...OPTED TO GO WITH A HIGH WIND
WATCH FOR SATURDAY...WEST OF HIGHWAY 281 AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 6.
SOLID WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA STILL APPEARS AS THOUGH IT WILL BE MET
ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA.
IN ADDITION TO THE WIND THREAT...THE AFOREMENTIONED DEEP PBL MIXING
WILL ALSO LIKELY RESULT IN SOME DECREASE IN AFTERNOON DEW POINTS
EVEN BEYOND THE EXPECTED DECREASING LOW LEVEL DEW POINTS DUE TO DRY
AIR ADVECTION POST-FROPA. RH VALUES THROUGH THE TROPOSPHERIC COLUMN
BELOW 800MB PER THE OPERATIONAL GFS IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER WHEN COMPARED
TO THE NAM...BUT THE NAM IS VERY SCARY WITH REGARD TO FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS AS IT SHOWS DECREASING DEW POINTS FROM THE SURFACE ALL THE
WAY TO THE TOP OF THE AFTERNOON PBL WHICH...SHOULD THE NAM
VERIFY...WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT DROP OFF IN AFTERNOON
DEW POINTS. MET AND MAV GUIDANCE SUGGESTS AFTERNOON DEW POINTS
DECREASING INTO THE LOWER TEENS DUE TO LOW LEVEL DRY AIR
ADVECTION...WITH LAYER-AVERAGED RH VALUES BETWEEN 950MB AND 800MB
INDICATING SURFACE DEW POINTS COULD DROP TO NEAR 0 DEGREES ACROSS OUR
SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES WHICH RESULTS IN AFTERNOON RH VALUES WELL
BELOW 20%. FOR NOW...NOT QUITE READY TO BUY INTO SUCH LOW MOISTURE
BETWEEN THE SURFACE AND 800MB AS SUGGESTED BY THE NAM...SO WILL TAKE
A LAYER-AVERAGED RH BETWEEN 950MB AND 800MB PER THE GFS WHICH
RESULTS IN AFTERNOON DEW POINTS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS OUR
WEST/SOUTHWEST...AND IN THE LOW TEENS ACROSS OUR EAST/NORTHEAST.
THIS IN TURN PRESENTS AFTERNOON RH VALUES NEAR 20% ACROSS OUR
WEST/SOUTHWEST AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES FARTHER EAST/NORTHEAST.
WILL HOLD OFF FROM ANY FIRE WEATHER HEADLINES FOR NOW GIVEN THESE
FORECAST RH VALUES ARE MARGINAL FOR RFW ISSUANCE SATURDAY...BUT THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED THROUGH THE NEXT
FEW SHIFTS.
THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD REMAINS DRY AS AN
OVERALL LACK IN KINEMATIC FORCING PRESENTS ITSELF. TWO MORE LOW
LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONES ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH THE AREA...ONE
LATE MONDAY AND THE OTHER LATE WEDNESDAY. FORCING ALONG THE
BAROCLINIC ZONES AND TROPOSPHERIC MOISTURE APPEAR AS THOUGH
THEY WILL REMAIN FAR TOO LOW FOR PRECIPITATION PRODUCTION HOWEVER.
AFTER A COOLER DAY ON SATURDAY WARMER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WITH A SLIGHT COOL DOWN TUESDAY FOLLOWING FROPA
LATE MONDAY. ANOTHER WARMUP ON WEDNESDAY WITH ONE MORE COOL DOWN
THURSDAY FOLLOWING FROPA LATE WEDNESDAY. OVERALL...TEMPERATURES
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WILL REMAIN AT NEAR OR ABOVE-NORMAL
LEVELS...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 40S AND 50S AND LOWS IN THE 20S
AND 30S.
