AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
638 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012

.AVIATION...00Z TAF. TOUGH AVIATION FORECAST THIS PERIOD.
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE WEST WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE EN-RODES INTO THE
KGRI AREA LATE THIS EVENING CAUSING MFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AT
TIMES. BUT COVERAGE MAY BE LIMITED IN NATURE...AND STILL SOME
CHANCE THEY MISS KGRI ALL TOGETHER. EVENTUALLY...SOME LATE NIGHT
CLEAR WILL TAKE OVER AS ANY STORMS MOVE EAST...AND IFR CONDITIONS
WILL SETTLE. ON SUNDAY...WRAP AROUND CLOUDS AND COLD FRONT FROM
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL CAUSE VERY STRONG WINDS
TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST...AND
INCREASING MID CLOUDS. MAY BE SHOWER IN THERE BUT TOO EARLY TO
REALLY PUT IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 420 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012/

SHORT TERM...THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE OBVIOUS CONCERN IS THE
EVOLUTION OF SEVERE CONVECTION OVER AT LEAST THE NEXT 6-8 HOURS.
IN SHORT...THE FIRST ROUND OF STRONG-SEVERE CONVECTION IS IN THE
PROCESS OF EXITING FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...ESSENTIALLY
BRINGING ROUND 1 TO A CLOSE. THESE STORMS RESULTED IN AT LEAST 3
UNCONFIRMED BRIEF TORNADOES NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE STATE
LINE...ALONG WITH SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES.
THE CONCERN NOW SHIFTS BACK TO THE FAR WESTERN-SOUTHWESTERN
CWA...AS CLEARING SKIES ARE RAPIDLY DESTABILIZING AREAS CLOSER TO
THE SURFACE DRYLINE FROM SOUTHWEST NEB DOWN ACROSS WESTERN KS. AS
A RESULT...WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS EVENT IS FAR FROM BEING
OVER.

PARAMETERS FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ARE VERY FAVORABLE FOR
HIGH-END SEVERE...AS THE 110+KT UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK CURRENTLY
MAKING ITS WAY INTO FAR WESTERN KS OVERSPREADS THE AREA.
SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF AT LEAST 50KT...AND
WITH LOW LEVEL 0-1KM BULK SHEAR OF 30-40 KT. 0-1KM STORM RELATIVE
HELICITY IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE AS WELL...WITH 300-400+ M2/S2 ACROSS
MUCH OF THE CWA...WHICH COULD ONLY INCREASE INTO THE EVENING HOURS
AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS. FOLLOWING CONVECTIVE REFLECTIVITY
PROGS FROM LATEST HRRR...ALONG WITH 12Z RUNS OF 4KM WRF-NMM...ALONG
WITH LATEST RUC FIELDS...SIGNIFICANT SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY
WILL CONTINUE SURGING NORTHEAST INTO THE CWA THROUGH THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS WITH LOW LEVEL CAPE IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG
PERSISTING WELL INTO THE EVENING. HRRR SUGGESTS A COMBINATION OF
DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AND QUASI LINEAR STORM MODES WILL CONTINUE
WELL INTO THE EVENING...WITH SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA LIKELY MOST UNDER THE GUN. ALTHOUGH HYDRO ISSUES SEEM TO BE
MINIMAL SO FAR...ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS ROUGHLY THE
SOUTHEAST 1/3 OF THE CWA ON TOP OF WHAT FELL EARLIER COULD LEAD TO
SOME ISSUES.

SO FAR...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR KS ZONES THROUGH 00Z IS NOT
PANNING OUT VERY WELL WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY INTERFERING...AND
ALTHOUGH NEITHER AN IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION OR AN EXTENSION IS NOT
PLANNED AT THIS TIME...WILL PROBABLY SEE STRONGER SOUTHERLY WINDS
ACTUALLY PICK UP OVERNIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS TO AROUND
987MB IN THE NORTHEAST CO/SOUTHWEST NEB AREA. SPEAKING OF WIND...A
GOOD CHUNK OF THE CWA WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY NEED AN ADVISORY
DURING THE DAY SUNDAY...AS STRONG WINDS INITIALLY ARE FROM THE
SOUTH...BUT THEN FROM THE WEST AND NORTHWEST BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT. INSERTED A STRONG WIND MENTION INTO THE GRIDS AND HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK...BUT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON TODAY WILL
DEFER TO MIDNIGHT SHIFT TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE NEXT WIND
HEADLINE...WHICH WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE MORE ROBUST THAN THE CURRENT
ONE.

AS FOR STORM CHANCES LATE TONIGHT...ONLY HAVE 20-30 PERCENT
CHANCES POST-06Z...AND ALTHOUGH THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CWA
SHOULD BE FREE OF SEVERE WEATHER BY THEN...COULD FORESEE A
MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS HANGING ON IN NORTHERN ZONES LATE INTO
THE NIGHT. SHOULD BE A LULL IN PRECIPITATION ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS THE SYNOPTIC DRY SLOT
SURGES IN...BUT RAIN SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD INTO THE CWA
FROM WEST TO EAST WRAPPING AROUND THE DEPARTING LOW. THE
COMBINATION OF ANY RAIN SHOWERS WITH THE STRONG WINDS WILL MAKE
THE FORECAST HIGHS IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S FEEL COLDER THAN IT
MAY SOUND.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY. OVERALL FEW
NOTABLE CHANGES MADE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST...WITH FORECAST BASED ON
A GENERAL BLEND OF THE 12Z ECMWF/GFS.

STARTING OFF RIGHT AWAY SUNDAY EVENING...A WIND ADVISORY MAY
CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEAST AREAS...BUT
LIKELY NOT BEYOND 03Z AS THE STRONG SURFACE LOW PULLS GRADUALLY
AWAY ACROSS SOUTHERN MN. LINGERED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT SHOWERS
INTO THE EVENING HOURS MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...BUT DRY AFTER
MIDNIGHT. HEADING INTO MONDAY...LEFT THE MORNING DRY BUT HAVE
20-30 PERCENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON AS A TRAILING
SHORTWAVE TRACKS OUT OF SOUTHERN SD INTO NORTHERN NEB. NEXT SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ARRIVES IN NORTHEAST COUNTIES FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
AS THE NEXT QUICK MOVING WAVE PASSES BY IN QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT.
A FAIRLY ACTIVE UPPER PATTERN CONTINUES INTO THE LATTER PART OF
THE WEEK...AND MAINTAINED 20-30 PERCENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS
FROM THURS INTO THURS NIGHT AS THE NEXT WAVE CROSSES THE REGION.
AT THIS TIME...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT APPEARS LOW. BEYOND THURSDAY
NIGHT...MAINTAINED A DRY FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY AS THERE ARE
SUGGESTIONS OF AT LEAST WEAK SHORTWAVE RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE
PLAINS.

TEMPERATURE WISE THROUGH THE EXTENDED...HAVE MOST DAYS IN THE
LOW-MID 70S FOR HIGHS...EXCEPT FOR COOLER UPPER 50S-LOW 60S ON
MONDAY. AS FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS...COULD EVENTUALLY NEED TO INSERT
SOME FROST WORDING FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND/OR MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS
IN THE MID-UPPER 30S...ALTHOUGH BREEZES MAY REMAIN JUST STRONG
ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE MUCH DEVELOPMENT.

MPH WILL DEVELOP. THOSE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY.

COLD FRONT PASSES. SUSTAINED SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH WITH GUSTS
TO AT LEAST 45 MPH ARE LIKELY ACROSS MOST OF THE OUTLOOK AREA.

THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
