AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1100 PM CDT FRI MAY 25 2012

.UPDATE...SENT AN UPDATE TO THE FORECAST PACKAGE TO REMOVE THE
TORNADO WATCH ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS AS WELL AS
TO BRING THE FORECAST IN LINE WITH LATEST SATELLITE AND RADAR
TRENDS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH NO OTHER
CHANGES NECESSARY TO FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 707 PM CDT FRI MAY 25 2012/

UPDATE...UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDED TORNADO WATCH 298 FOR
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT.

AVIATION...00Z KGRI TAF...DETERIORATING CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT
KGRI OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. EXPECT MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK TO
GRADUALLY LOWER AND FOR PREVAILING MVFR CONDS TO RETURN OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS THE WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS
LIFTS FURTHER NORTHWARD. WITH DETERIORATING CONDITIONS...EXPECT
SOME SHRAS AND TSRAS TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA...WHICH WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT KGRI FROM ABOUT
26/03-26/07. THEREAFTER...WINDS WILL SHIFT AND BECOME MORE
SOUTHEASTERLY...WITH PREVAILING MVFR CIGS AND POSSIBLY SOME MVFR
VSBYS IN AREAS OF BR FM 26/09-26/13Z. WHILE SKIES ARE THEN
EXPECTED TO CLEAR AND BECOME MOSTLY SUNNY DURING THE DAY
SATURDAY...FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE VALID PERIOD.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 352 PM CDT FRI MAY 25 2012/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY.

UPPER LEVEL PROFILER AND SATELLITE DATA CONTINUE TO SHOW THE
REGION  UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN THE UPPER
LEVELS...SET UP BETWEEN A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DIGGING SOUTH ALONG
THE CALIFORNIA COAST AND HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS/GULF COAST REGION. LOOKING AT THE SURFACE
PATTERN...LOW PRESSURE SITS OVER THE PANHANDLES OF TX/OK...WHILE
THE MAIN WARM FRONT HAS MADE GRADUAL NORTHWARD PROGRESS THROUGH
THE DAY. IT STARTED OUT THE DAY NEAR THE OK/KS BORDER...BUT
CURRENTLY LIES ROUGHLY FROM SWRN KS...TO JUST SE OF THE CORNER OF
THE CWA...INTO NERN KS. ANOTHER BOUNDARY /TROUGH AXIS/ ACTUALLY
EXTENDS THROUGH THE CWA...WITH THE NERLY WINDS NOTED TO THE NORTH
OF THE BOUNDARY.

ACROSS THE AREA OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN WARM FRONT...BROAD AREA OF
WARM AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES...BUT HAS RESULTED IN LITTLE ELSE
THAN  A FEW ISOLATED/SCT SHOWERS AND RUMBLES OF THUNDER THROUGH
MID AFTERNOON. THE BETTER INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE ACCOMPANIES THE
WARM FRONT...BUT SO DOES BETTER CAPPING WITH WARMER MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES. THE MAIN QUESTION FOR THIS EVENING/TONIGHT IS THE
OVERALL COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION...DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY AN
INCREASING SOUTHERLY LLJ...BUT MODELS DONT EXACTLY HAVE THE BEST
AGREEMENT...AND KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING AT THIS POINT. CONCERNS
REGARDING SVR WEATHER REMAIN IN PLACE WITH BETTER INSTABILITY
MOVING IN...GOOD DEEP LAYER SHEAR PRESENT...AND THE SFC BOUNDARY
ACROSS THE AREA. ONE CHANGE MADE TO THE FORECAST DURING THE 00-12Z
PERIOD TONIGHT WAS TO TREND POPS BACK POST-06Z TO JUST THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE SHIFTING OFF
TO THE NORTH WITH THE SFC WARM FRONT AND THE BETTER CONVERGENCE
AREA OF THE LLJ. ANOTHER WAS TO THE TEMPERATURES...THINKING THAT
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE MILD...AND WONT SEE A SIGNIFICANT DROP OFF
IN HOURLY TEMPS...ESP ONCE THE MORE SOLIDLY SOUTH WINDS BUILD INTO
THE CWA.

BY THE TIME 12Z SATURDAY ROLLS AROUND...EXPECT THAT ACTIVITY WILL
HAVE SHIFTED NORTH OF THE CWA...AND KEPT THE DRY FORECAST IN PLACE
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. THE PRIMARY WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
BE JUST NORTH OF THE CWA BOUNDARY...THOUGH EVEN THIS CLOSE TO
THAT PERIOD...THERE REMAIN VARIANCES BETWEEN MODELS WITH THE
TIMING/LOCATION. THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...THE CWA REMAINS IN
THE WARM SECTOR...WITH THE WARM FRONT CONTINUING TO CREEP
NORTH...WHILE LOW PRESSURE GETS BETTER ORGANIZED NEAR THE
NEB/WY/CO BORDER. MORE UNCERTAINTY ARISES...MAINLY DURING THE
MID/LATE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY. THOUGH THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT WITH CAPPING/WARM MID
LEVEL TEMPS IN PLACE /12+C AT 700 MB/...LATEST MODEL RUNS CONTINUE
THE TREND OF GOOD MIXING ACROSS ESP WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA /NAM
SHOWS MIXING UPWARDS OF 600 MB/...WHICH MAY RESULT IN A DRYLINE
BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA. LOWERED MID AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS...ENDING
UP WITH LOWER 50S IN THE FAR WEST TO LOWER 60S IN THE EAST. ALONG
WITH THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SFC BOUNDARY...SHOULD SEE
STEEP LOW/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. DECIDED NOT TO MAKE MUCH CHANGE
TO THE POPS...JUST ADJUSTED THE TIMING...BELIEVE THE OVERALL
COVERAGE OF ANYTHING THAT COULD DEVELOP WOULD BE PRETTY SCATTERED.
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO BE STRONG/SEVERE IS
THERE...INSTABILITY REMAINS IN PLACE EVEN THOUGH DEEP LAYER SHEAR
ISNT GREAT.

ANOTHER CHANGE MADE TO TOMORROWS FORECAST WAS TO BUMP UP HIGHS A
FEW DEGREES HERE AND THERE...IT IS ABOVE GUIDANCE BUT TRENDED A
TOUCH MORE TOWARD THE NAM/EC. TAKING A BIT OF A RISK...IF THE
DEEPER MIXING DOESNT PAN OUT AND/OR DEWPOINTS REMAIN HIGHER THAN
FORECAST...TEMPS WILL HAVE A HARDER TIME INCREASING. SEE CLIMATE
SECTION BELOW FOR RECORD INFORMATION.

WILL ALSO NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE NEED FOR A WIND ADV HEADLINE
FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON...ESP ACROSS THE SWRN PORTION OF THE CWA.
SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH ARE EXPECTED WITH THE INCREASED
MIXING AND TIGHTENING SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT...AND GUSTS NEAR
40 MPH NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. WITH THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
GUIDANCE PRESENT...DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON A HEADLINE AND WILL LET
THE EVENING/MID SHIFT CREWS GET ANOTHER ROUND OF MODELS TO CHECK
OUT.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS
WILL BE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND TEMPERATURES.

SATURDAY NIGHT AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA AND THERE
IS  A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. THERE WILL BE A STRONG CAP
IN PLACE AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME TO GET GOING. IF
THUNDERSTORMS GET GOING THEY SHOULD BE ISOLATED AND DIMINISH AS
THE HEATING OF THE DAY GOES AWAY.

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE PERIOD WILL BE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. A
SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY MORNING AND
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE
MOVES INTO THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND THIS SHOULD TRIGGER
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE FRONT. NEAR AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT THE CAPE
IS 2000 TO 2500 J/KG. EXPECT SOME SEVERE WEATHER WITH THESE STORMS
AS THEY MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THEY
WILL BE DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH
THE  AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT. AFTER THE THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP...THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO SLOW DOWN DURING THE EVENING.

THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE MOVED OUT OF THE AREA AND EXPECT DRY
CONDITIONS FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. A SURFACE HIGH PUSHES INTO
THE AREA AND HELPS TO CLEAR THINGS OUT.

ON TUESDAY THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL WAVE STARTS TO AFFECT THE AREA.
THERE MAY BE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE
AREA. BY TUESDAY NIGHT THE MAIN UPPER WAVE APPROACHES THE FORECAST
AREA AND THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES. THE UPPER LOW
MOVES  THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUES TO
AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE MOVING OFF TO THE
EAST. WITH CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION AROUND THE AREA TEMPERATURES
WILL BE ON THE COOLER SIDE.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY THE AMPLITUDE OF THE RIDGE IN THE WEST BUILDS
AND NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA. WITH A SURFACE
HIGH EXPECT THERE TO BE AMPLE SUN. THE TEMPERATURES WARM DURING
THE PERIOD AND EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO RETURN TO MORE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES BY FRIDAY.

CLIMATE...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO REACH INTO THE 90S
ON SATURDAY...RECORDS MAY BE IN JEOPARDY. THE NUMBERS TO BEAT ARE
AS FOLLOWS...94 DEGREES AT GRAND ISLAND /SET IN 1916/...97
DEGREES AT HASTINGS /SET IN 1912/...AND 98 DEGREES AT KEARNEY /SET
IN 1912/.
