AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
616 PM CDT SUN MAY 27 2012

.AVIATION...00Z TAF. MAIN INTEREST WILL BE THUNDERSTORMS EARLY IN
THE PERIOD. A LINE TO THUNDERSTORMS IS DEVELOPING TO THE WEST OF
THE KGRI TERMINAL AREA NEAR A COLD FRONT. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE MOVING THROUGH THE KGRI TERMINAL AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SOME LATER AFTER THE LINE OF STORMS MOVE
THROUGH...BUT IT SHOULD BE MORE SPOTTY AFTER THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. WITH THE FRONT WINDS WILL TURN TO THE NORTHWEST. LATE
TONIGHT THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END AND THE SKIES
SHOULD START TO CLEAR OUT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 324 PM CDT SUN MAY 27 2012/

SHORT TERM...THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY. OVERALL VERY LITTLE
NOTABLE CHANGE TO THE INHERITED FORECAST THROUGH THE NEXT 24-30
HOURS...WITH THE OBVIOUS MAIN ISSUE BEING THE LIKELY ROUND OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS/HEAVY RAINFALL LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT.

18Z OBJECTIVE SURFACE ANALYSIS PAINTS A WEAK 1002 MB LOW NEAR HILL
CITY KS...WITH A SOMEWHAT ILL-DEFINED COLD FRONT EXTENDING NORTH
FROM THE LOW ACROSS FAR WEST/NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE CWA.
FARTHER EAST...THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA IS SOLIDLY IN THE SOUTHERLY
WIND REGIME AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS MAINLY
15-25 MPH AND GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH. HOWEVER...KS ZONES ARE AVERAGING
A BIT STRONGER SPEEDS...WITH SUSTAINED CLOSER TO 30 MPH AND GUSTS
TO AROUND 40 MPH. ALTHOUGH WINDS ARE CURRENTLY STRUGGLING TO REACH
ADVISORY CRITERIA DOWN THERE...ANTICIPATE A POSSIBLE SLIGHT
INCREASE AS THE AFTERNOON WEARS ON...AND THUS WILL LET THE
INHERITED WIND ADVISORY CONTINUE AS-IS FOR NOW ALTHOUGH AN EARLY
CANCELLATION IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. TEMP WISE...EARLIER
NUDGED UP AFTERNOON HIGHS 1-2 DEGREES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST IN
MOST AREAS...RANGING FROM MID 80S WEST TO LOW 90S EAST AND SOUTH.
SO FAR...THIS SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK...DESPITE THE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD
CUMULUS FIELD WHICH AS OVERTAKEN MOST OF THE CWA. ALOFT...WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY AND SHORT TERM MODEL DATA CLEARLY REVEALS THE
PRIMARY EXPANSIVE SHORTWAVE OF INTEREST APPROACHING FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS...AND ANCHORED BY A CLOSED 500MB LOW PUSHING ACROSS
EASTERN MT. THE PRIMARY 300MB JET AXIS AROUND 100KT IS STILL TO
THE WEST...EXTENDING NORTH-SOUTH FROM WESTERN NEB INTO SD. RADAR
WISE...THERE HAVE BEEN A SMATTERING OF HIGH BASED SHOWERS/MAYBE A
FEW VERY WEAK THUNDERSTORMS MIGRATING NORTHEAST ACROSS
CENTRAL/EASTERN COUNTIES DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...LIKELY
AMOUNTING TO NOTHING MORE THAN A GLORIFIED SPRINKLE.

GETTING TO THE FORECAST...THE WELL-ADVERTISED AFTERNOON/EVENING
ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS THE PARAMOUNT CONCERN.
LITTLE CHANGE IN THINKING/MODEL TRENDS HAS OCCURRED THUS FAR FROM
THE INHERITED OVERNIGHT FORECAST...WHICH REALLY SEEMED TO HAVE A
GOOD HANDLE ON THINGS. ALSO AGREE WITH LATEST SPC DAY 1 CONVECTIVE
OUTLOOK EMPHASIZING THE HAIL/WIND THREAT BUT KEEPING THE TORNADO
POTENTIAL MORE IN CHECK. ONE TREND THAT HAS SEEMED TO EMERGE TODAY
IS SLIGHTLY LOWER INSTABILITY VALUES...WITH THE RAP/RUC
ADVERTISING 0-1 KM MLCAPE VALUES TOPPING OUT MAINLY AROUND 1500
J/KG INSTEAD OF MORE WIDESPREAD 2000 J/KG. HOWEVER...WITH 0-6KM
DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES CURRENTLY INCREASING INTO THE 40-60KT
RANGE FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE SHORTWAVE APPROACHES...AND MID
LEVEL TEMPS GRADUALLY COOLING AS WELL...SHOULD STILL SEE A ROBUST
SEVERE THREAT. LEANING TOWARD THE LATEST RAP/RUC AND HRRR FOR THE
DETAILS...THE 21Z-00Z TIME FRAME SHOULD FEATURE THE ONSET OF
STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION...MAINLY ACROSS THE WESTERN 1/2 OF THE
CWA. AS A RESULT...LOWERED POPS A BIT IN EASTERN ZONES THROUGH
00Z...KEEPING SEVERAL COUNTIES BELOW LIKELY WORDING. ONCE STORMS
FORM...A POTENTIALLY MESSY MIX OF INITIALLY DISCRETE CELLS AND
QUASI-LINEAR SEGMENTS SHOULD UNFOLD...WITH INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS
TRACKING NORTHEAST AROUND 35 MPH. WITH SURFACE DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS ON THE ORDER OF 20-30 DEGREES...AND RESULTANT LCL
HEIGHTS LARGELY IN EXCESS OF 1500-2000M TO START OUT WITH...THINK
THAT INITIAL STORMS SHOULD BE MAINLY HAIL/EFFICIENT WIND
PRODUCERS...POSSIBLY PRODUCING ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTNADOES AS SEEN
BACK ON THE 19TH. HOWEVER...AS LONG AS STORMS CAN REMAIN AT LEAST
QUASI-DISCRETE TOWARD 00Z AND TOWARD SUNSET...PARAMETERS DO BECOME
A BIT MORE FAVORABLE FOR MAYBE A FEW TORNADOES...WITH BOUNDARY
LAYER COOLING BRINGING LCLS DOWN CLOSER TO 1000M AND 0-1KM BULK
SHEAR INCREASING TO AROUND 20-25KT AND 0-1KM SRH POSSIBLY
EXCEEDING 150 M2/S2...AT LEAST FOR A FEW HOURS. THIS IS PARTIALLY
IN RESPONSE TO SURFACE WINDS SLIGHTLY BACKING IN RESPONSE TO THE
LOW DEEPENING A BIT TO AROUND 997MB IN NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL KS.
FOR TORNADO POTENTIAL...SO MUCH WILL DEPEND ON YET-TO-BE-RESOLVED
DETAILS IN STORM MODE/STORM INTERACTION...BUT OVERALL THE
ENVIRONMENT SHOULD NOT SUPPORT ANYTHING LONG TRACK OR PARTICULARLY
STRONG. AS FOR HAIL...WILL LEAVE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO BASEBALL
WORDING IN THE HWO...BUT WITH INSTABILITY NOT EYE-POPPING WOULD
TEND TO THINK MOST SHOULD REMAIN GOLF BALL OR SMALLER. CERTAINLY
WIND GUSTS TO AT LEAST 70 MPH ARE A CONCERN.

SPECIFICALLY GETTING INTO THE EVENING 00Z-06Z PERIOD...KEPT 60-80
POPS GOING ACROSS MAINLY THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA...BUT
EXPANDED AT LEAST SLIGHT POPS ALL THE WAY BACK ACROSS THE FAR
WEST...AS THE COLD FRONTAL INVASION APPEARS TO BE A BIT SLOWER
THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT...AS IT STALLS OUT IN RESPONSE TO A GRADUAL
DEEPENING OF THE NORTHWEST KS SURFACE LOW TO AROUND 997MB. THAT
BEING SAID...THERE WILL LIKELY STILL BE SHARP EAST-WEST GRADIENT
BETWEEN STORMS AND NO STORMS...AND SEVERAL WESTERN COUNTIES COULD
MISS OUT ON MOST IF NOT ALL THE ACTION. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AS WELL...AS STORMS LIKELY
BECOME MORE LINEAR AND THE 850MB LOW LEVEL JET ACCELERATES
MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO AND OVER THE INVADING LOW LEVEL FRONTAL
ZONE. SHOULD EASILY SEE SOME FAIRLY WIDESPREAD 1-2 INCH
AMOUNTS...WITH LOCALIZED 2+ QUITE POSSIBLE AS WELL IF THINGS STALL
OUT AND/OR BACKBUILD FOR A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING AS HINTED BY THE
12Z 4KM WRF-NMM EXPLICIT REFLECTIVITY.

FOR THE LATE NIGHT 06Z-12Z PERIOD...MAIN CHANGE WAS TO INCREASE
POPS ACROSS EASTERN ZONES DURING THE 06Z-09Z PERIOD...BUT KEPT
THEM BELOW LIKELY RANGE AT LEAST FOR NOW. BOTH THE 12Z NAM/4KM WRF
SUPPORT LINGERING CONVECTION FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS PAST 06Z
ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. CONFIDENCE IS RATHER HIGH IN
STORM-FREE CONDITIONS POST-09Z...AS DRIER AIR INVADES BEHIND THE
PASSING COLD FRONT. KEPT LOW TEMPS TONIGHT SIMILAR TO
PREVIOUS...RANGING FROM LOW 50S FAR WEST TO LOW 60S FAR EAST.

GETTING INTO MONDAY...OTHER THAN BEING A BIT BREEZY...A PLEASANT
MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY IS IN STORE. ALOFT...THE PARENT 500MB CLOSED
LOW WILL SLOWLY MIGRATE FROM THE MT/ND BORDER TO EASTERN
ND...WHILE AT THE SURFACE...THE COLD FRONT TRACKS WELL OFF TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST...ALIGNED FROM NORTHERN IL TO NEAR THE KS/OK BORDER
BY LATE AFTERNOON. MUCH DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR WILL ARRIVE
IN THE WAKE OF THIS BOUNDARY...RESULTING IN SUNNY/MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES. CHANGED HIGH TEMPS LITTLE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST...KEEPING
THEM CLOSE TO 12Z MET GUIDANCE RANGING FROM MID-UPPER 70S
NORTHWEST TO MAINLY MID 80S SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER FAR SOUTHEAST
AROUND BELOIT COULD STILL REACH UPPER 80S. LOWERED DEWPOINTS A FEW
DEGREES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST...AND POSSIBLY NOT ENOUGH...AS
NAM-BASED MIX-DOWN TOOLS SUGGEST DEWPOINTS COULD PLUNGE ALL THE
WAY INTO THE 20S IN SOUTH/WEST AREAS AS BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING
INCREASES TO AROUND 700MB. NOT GOING TO GO QUITE THIS LOW
YET...BUT STILL HAVE MOST OF THE CWA MIXING WELL DOWN INTO THE 30S
FOR DEWPOINTS. FORTUNATELY WILL NOT HAVE TO CONSIDER A RED FLAG
WARNING AS OFFICIAL VEGETATIVE FUEL STATUS IS STILL
DEEMED UNFAVORABLE FOR FIRE GROWTH...BUT RH VALUES SHOULD
NONETHELESS DIVE BELOW 20 PERCENT ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTHWEST
1/2 OF THE CWA. THE AFOREMENTIONED DEEP MIXING WILL ALSO KICK UP
WESTERLY WINDS DURING THE DAY...WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS EASILY 15-20
MPH FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND GUSTING TO AROUND 25 MPH.

LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS
WILL BE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES.

A SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER AS THE TEMPERATURES AT
850MB DECREASE DURING THE DAY. BY TUESDAY NIGHT AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE
STARTS TO MOVE INTO THE PLAINS. THIS WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. THE WAVE STRENGTHENS AS IT MOVES INTO THE
AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE BEST CAPE IS GOING TO BE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND DECREASES AFTER THAT. THERE COULD BE SOME
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT WITH THE CAPE
DECREASING LATER...EXPECT THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE
ISOLATED DURING THE EVENING. WITH CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION AROUND ON
WEDNESDAY EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE A BIT COOLER THAN RECENTLY. THE
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ON THURSDAY WHEN THE
UPPER WAVE FINALLY MOVES TO THE EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ON
THE COOLER SIDE FOR THURSDAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WILL BE DOMINATED BY ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE AREA THAT SETTLES INTO THE AREA. BY FRIDAY NIGHT THE
SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND WINDS TURN TO THE SOUTH. A
COUPLE OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVES MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR THE PERIOD
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. EXPECT SOME SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH SPOTTY PRECIPITATION.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST OF THE
OUTLOOK AREA...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT FOCUSED NEAR AND EAST OF
A LINE FROM GREELEY...TO KEARNEY...TO ALMA NEBRASKA...AND INCLUDING
ALL OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL INITIALLY
DEVELOP SOMETIME BETWEEN 4 PM AND 7 PM MAINLY NEAR AND WEST OF THE
HIGHWAY 281 CORRIDOR. THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN INCREASE IN
AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY BY THIS EVENING AS THEY TRACK
EAST-NORTHEAST TOWARD THE HIGHWAY 81 CORRIDOR. THE STRONGEST
STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF
BASEBALLS...DAMAGING WINDS TO AROUND 70 MPH...AND POSSIBLY A FEW
TORNADOES. ALTHOUGH STORMS WILL LIKELY LINGER PAST MIDNIGHT IN
SOME AREAS...THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD BE OVER BY
THEN. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES IS ALSO
POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING...WHICH COULD RESULT IN MAINLY LOW
LAND FLOODING ISSUES.

IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...SUSTAINED SOUTHERLY
WIND AROUND 30 MPH REMAINS POSSIBLE IN MUCH OF NORTH CENTRAL
KANSAS THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES REMAIN IN THE
FORECAST FOR THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE
STRONG TO SEVERE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON WEDNESDAY...MAINLY
WEST OF A LINE FROM LEXINGTON NEBRASKA TO STOCKTON KANSAS.

THUNDERSTORMS THEN RETURN TO THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS LIKELY AT SOME POINT LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
