AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1235 PM CDT SUN APR 1 2012

.AVIATION...18Z KGRI TAF. HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES ITS HOLD ON THE
AREA THRU THE NIGHT. VFR WEATHER EXPECTED. AFTER 12Z A STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE THRU. A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL LEAD TO VERY STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS. AFTER 14Z WINDS
COULD GUST OVER 30 KTS AT TIMES. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE
DRY...SO NO PRECIPITATION OR CLOUDS REALLY EXPECTED WITH IT.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 AM CDT SUN APR 1 2012/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.  AN UPPER RIDGE AXIS WAS
IN PLACE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY THIS MORNING...WHILE AN
UPSTREAM TROUGH HAD REACHED THE WEST COAST. THE WESTERN TROUGH
WILL MOVE INTO THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST DURING THE DAY TODAY WITH
PATTERN ALOFT TRANSITIONING SOUTHWESTERLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. AT THE SURFACE THE ASSOCIATED TROUGH AXIS IS FORECAST TO
EXTEND FM THE WESTERN DAKOTAS TO WEST TX BEFORE THE MAIN SFC LOW
DEVELOPS IN SW NEB THIS EVENING. SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BE
ON THE INCREASE TODAY DRAWING MOISTURE NORTH WITH SFC DPS REACHING
THE LOW 60S IN OUR EASTERN ZONES THIS AFTN. DPS WILL LOWER IN OUR
WEST ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE TROUGH AXIS...BUT EVEN MIXING
DOWN DRIER DPS STILL DO NOT OBTAIN LOW ENOUGH RH VALUES TO WARRANT
A FIRE WEATHER HEADLINE FOR THIS AFTN...AND AS TROUGH AXIS EDGES
EASTWARD...WINDS WILL NOT BE AS STRONG. FOR HIGHS THIS AFTN...NOT
AS OPTIMISTIC THAT RECORD HIGHS WILL BE MET HOWEVER TEMPS WILL
STILL BE CLOSE OR WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF THIS. RECORD FOR GRAND
ISLAND TODAY IS 88F SET IN 2003...HASTINGS RECORD IS 90F SET IN
2003...AND KEARNEY RECORD IS 88F IN 1921. DESPITE THE INCREASING
WINDS/MIXING TODAY...DPS WILL ALSO BE HIGHER AND PLAN TO PLAY
MORE MIDDLE GROUND FOR HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID 80S IN NEB...AND
UPPER 80S IN NC KANSAS.

100KT JET ROUNDS BASE OF TROUGH AND CIRCULATION CLOSES OFF NEAR THE
FOUR CORNERS REGION TONIGHT...AND NORTHERN STREAM BEGINS TO LIFT
TOWARD THE DAKOTAS. ADVANCING SURFACE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY
REACHES OUR WESTERN CWA AFTER 09Z AND SWEEPS ACROSS THE REMAINDER
OF OUR CWA MONDAY MORNING. GOOD PRESSURE RISES FOLLOWING FROPA AND
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT DURING THE DAY MONDAY WILL RESULT IN
STRONG AND GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS. THE NAM IS MUCH STRONGER WITH
WIND POTENTIAL THAN GFS ATTM BUT STILL WINDY OVERALL WITH
CONDITIONS STILL REMAINING FAVORABLE FOR WIND ADVISORY HEADLINE FOR
MOST AREAS ATTM...WITH OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES PERHAPS MORE
MARGINAL BASED ON LATEST MODELS.

FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH DRY WITH PCPN CHCS THEN INCREASING
MONDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MID WEEK AS THE UPPER LOW BEGINS
TO LIFT FM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO SOUTHWEST KS. PCPN CHCS FAVOR
NC KANSAS INTO FAR SOUTHERN NEBRASKA BASED ON CURRENT LOW TRACK.
INSTABILITY IS LACKING SO THUNDER WILL REMAIN OUT OF FORECAST.

AFTER SUMMER TEMPS OVER THE WEEKEND...HIGHS MONDAY WILL RANGE FM THE
LOW 60S IN OUR NW TO THE LOW 70S IN OUR SE.  BY TUESDAY HIGHS ARE
EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 60 TO 65F.  IN THE COOLER AIRMASS MONDAY
NIGHT...MET GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE LEXINGTON AREA MAY SEE A LOW TEMP
AT FREEZING OR 32F. WILL NEED TO MONITOR LOW TEMPS CLOSELY HERE BUT
AM OPTIMISTIC WINDS WILL REMAIN STEADY ENOUGH TO INHIBIT A COMPLETE
DROP OFF IN TEMPS AND KEPT LOWS SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING.

LONG TERM...12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.  EXPECTED TRACK OF THE
CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW EARLY IN THE PERIOD AND THEN ANOTHER TROUGH
PASSAGE LATE IN THE PERIOD THE PRIMARY CONCERNS.

SEEMS LIKE THE OPERATIONAL RUNS OF THE GFS AND EC HAVE FLIPPED IN
REGARDS TO SPEED AND LOCATION OF THE CLOSED LOW IN THE PAST 24
HOURS. YESTERDAY THE GFS WAS FASTER AND A FURTHER NORTH WITH THE
POSITIONING AND AT PRESENT THAT HONOR GOES TO THE EC. THE EC HAS
SHOWN SOME CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE LAST 2 RUNS AS IT TAKES THE 500
MB LOW CENTER FROM ERN NMEX/TX PANHANDLE ON 12Z TUES TO WCNTRL KS/OK
STATE LINE BY 12Z WED AND THEN EAST TO THE SW MO/NW ARKANSAS LINE BY
12Z THU. GFS JUST A LITTLE SLOWER AND A TAD SOUTH OF THIS TRACK
UNTIL IT CATCHES UP BY 12Z THU. THE GFS TRACK WOULD FAVOR MORE
PRECIP ON WED FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WHILE THE EC BRINGS
IT FURTHER NORTH ALTHOUGH STILL GENERATING PRECIP ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN CWA AS WELL. CHECKING THE PERTURBATION RUNS OF THE GFS
POINTS TO A DECENT SPREAD AS FAR AS NORTH/SOUTH LOCATION OF THE LOW.
THE ENSEMBLE GFS LOOKS TO BE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE OPERATIONAL RUN.
BOTH MODELS DO KEEP THE BETTER INSTABILITY WELL SOUTH AND WILL KEEP
THUNDER OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR WED. WILL GO WITH HIGHEST POPS IN
OUR S AND SE BUT WILL INCLUDE POPS FOR ALL OF THE CWA FOR WED.

APPEARS THAT THURS SHOULD BE QUIET AS SHORT WAVE RIDGE MOVES THROUGH
PLAINS BUT HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH WILL BE PUSHING INTO THE WESTERN
CONUS BY THEN AND SHOULD BRING THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIP ON FRI OR
SAT DEPENDING ON SPEED OF SYSTEM. INCLUDE THUNDER MENTION WITH THIS
SYSTEM AS BOTH MODELS GENERATING MORE INSTABILITY.

AS FAR AS TEMPS GO...SHOULD BE NEAR THE AVERAGE HIGH ON WED AND THEN
5-8 DEGREES WARMER THU-SAT. STILL LOOKING LIKE LOWS WILL REMAIN
ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
