AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1238 PM CDT FRI APR 27 2012

.AVIATION...18Z KGRI TAF. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ON THE RADAR
CONTINUALLY REDEVELOPING. THUS...MENTIONED PROMINENTLY IN TAF FOR
NEXT 4 HOURS. THEY WILL BE HIT AND MISS...SO NOT ALWAYS RAINING
AND THUNDERING...BUT DEFINITELY THERE WILL BE THUNDER IN THE AREA
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THEN GOOD CHANCES FOR THUNDER THE REST OF
THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. THE SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS WEATHER IS FORECAST TO
MOVE EAST THROUGH THE EVENING. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST...RAIN
WILL END AND CLOUDS WILL DISSIPATE...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 402 AM CDT FRI APR 27 2012/

SHORT TERM...THROUGH 12Z MONDAY...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
IS BEGINNING TO INCREASE ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS THIS MORNING AHEAD
OF A COMPACT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CROSSING THE CENTRAL ROCKIES.
EXPECT AMPLE FORCING FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA AS WE TRANSITION THROUGH THE
MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH THE SURFACE LOW
EXPECTED TO TRACK ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATE IN
THE DAY. WHILE BULK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO BE CLOSER TO
CENTER OF SURFACE LOW...ALREADY SEEING SOME SEVERE STORMS FIRE UP
TO OUR SOUTHWEST...AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR DEVELOPING SITUATION
CLOSELY. THAT BEING SAID...MESO ANALYSIS INDICATES INSTABILITY IS
FAIRLY LIMITED ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA THIS MORNING AND BEST SHEAR
PROFILES LOCATED SOUTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...WITH
INCREASING CAPE VALUES AND GOOD SHEAR PROFILES FORECAST IN
MODELED SOUNDINGS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATER THIS
MORNING...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS FIRE UP ACROSS THIS AREA LATER TODAY...AS SURFACE LOW
APPROACHES THE LOCAL AREA. FURTHER NORTHWARD ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...LOOKS TO BE MORE OF A RAINFALL EVENT AT
THIS TIME...WITH MORE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. NOT
SURPRISINGLY...LATEST CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK HIGHLIGHTS A SLIGHT RISK
ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE OF KANSAS...CLIPPING PORTIONS OF THE
LOCAL FORECAST AREA.

00Z WRF...06Z NAM AS WELL AS LATEST RUN OF HRRR...ALL INDICATE
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO OVER TAKE THE LOCAL
AREA RIGHT AROUND SUNRISE...WITH RAINFALL BECOMING WIDESPREAD BY
AROUND 12Z...WHICH IS ALSO IN LINE WITH RECENT RADAR TRENDS. LATEST
HPC GUIDANCE INDICATES A PRECIP BULLS EYE NEAR THE TRI CITIES AREA
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...AND COULD SEE IN EXCESS OF AN INCH OF
RAINFALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
LATE TONIGHT. STUCK PRETTY CLOSE TO HPC QPF GUIDANCE FOR THE LOCAL
AREA TODAY...WITH JUST OVER AN INCH OF PRECIPITATION FORECAST ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AREA...AND BETWEEN THREE QUARTERS AND ONE
INCH ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE FAIRLY
UNIFORM ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA TODAY...WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO
REMAIN STEADY OR EVEN FALL A FEW DEGREES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
HOURS...AS PRECIPITATION BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE
REGION. IN ADDITION...BREEZY SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED IN TIGHTENING GRADIENT...AND WHILE NO ADVISORY IS
PLANNED...SUB ADVISORY SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS OF 20 TO NEAR 30 MPH
ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.

LATEST GUIDANCE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT TRACKING THE FRONT
ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA JUST AFTER 00Z...WITH CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL
RAPIDLY DECREASING AND AN ABRUPT END TO PRECIPITATION OCCURRING
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z THIS EVENING. COULD SEE A BRIEF PERIOD
OF BREEZY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AS FRONT PASSES BY AND STRONG PRESSURE
RISES ARE REALIZED...BUT WITH TIMING OF FRONT DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...KEPT WINDS BREEZY...HOWEVER ONCE
AGAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS BOUNDARY.

AFTER A BUSY FRIDAY...EXPECT A SOMEWHAT TRANQUIL SATURDAY ACROSS THE
REGION AS THE LOCAL AREA WILL BE BETWEEN SYSTEMS. A RETURN TO PARTLY
SUNNY SKIES AS WELL AS DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...WITH THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO TRACK MAINLY SOUTHEAST OF THE LOCAL AREA ON
SUNDAY. WITH LATEST GUIDANCE TRACKING THIS SYSTEM FURTHER
SOUTHEAST...FELT COMFORTABLE TRIMMING BACK POPS FOR MOST AREAS
SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH HIGHEST CHANCES REMAINING ACROSS THE
SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF LOCAL FORECAST AREA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. INSTABILITY APPEARS QUITE LIMITED WITH THIS
SECOND SYSTEM LOCALLY...AND DO NOT EXPECT ANY STRONG OR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS SECOND SYSTEM AT THIS TIME.

LONG TERM...12Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. PRIMARY FORECAST
CONCERN LIES WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

EXPECTING TO SEE A CONTINUED UNSETTLED PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION
DURING THE EARLY/MID WEEK TIME FRAME...WITH A NUMBER OF CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION.  WILL STATE RIGHT OFF THAT OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN THE
POPS IS NOT HIGH...AND HAVE LITTLE DOUBT THAT THERE WILL BE PLENTY
OF TIME/LOCATION ADJUSTMENTS OVER THE COMING DAYS.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT SHOWING
GENERALLY ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE REGION...BETWEEN A
NUMBER OF STRONGER DISTURBANCES THROUGHOUT CANADA AND WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE EXTENDING ACROSS THE GULF COAST/SERN CONUS REGION.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME DRIVEN BY WEAK MID
LEVEL WAVES CROSSING THROUGH THE REGION...AND MODEL AGREEMENT ISNT
THE BEST WITH THE TIMING/LOCATION...SO DIDNT STRAY MUCH FROM
ALLBLEND...WHICH KEEPS MOSTLY SLIGHT CHANCES POPS ACROSS THE CWA.
BETTER DETAILS WILL COME AS MODEL AGREEMENT INCREASES.  LOOKING AT
THE SFC PATTERN...THE CWA LOOKS TO REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
SOUTHERLY FLOW...SITTING BETWEEN HIGHER PRESSURE OVER THE ERN CONUS
AND SOMEWHAT DISORGANIZED LOW PRESSURE OVER THE ROCKIES/HIGH
PLAINS.

AS WE GET INTO WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY...A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE LOOKS TO BEGIN SHIFTING EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES/OVER THE CAN AND US BORDER...EVENTUALLY MOVING INTO THE
ND/CAN AREA.  CONTINUE TO SEE SCATTERED SMALL POPS ACROSS THE
CWA...BUT VARIANCES BETWEEN MODELS DOESNT REALLY IMPROVE THOUGH...SO
CONFIDENCE REMAINS ON THE LOW SIDE. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO PUSH A SFC
FRONT THROUGH THE REGION SOMEWHERE IN THE WED DAYTIME PERIOD...BUT
HAS LITTLE IMPACT OTHER THAN A SHOT OF NORTHWESTERLY WINDS.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE 60S/LOW
70S ON MONDAY TO THE MID 70S/LOW 80S TUES/WED...WITH MID 70S ON
THURSDAY.
