AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
138 PM CDT THU OCT 4 2012

.AVIATION...18Z TAF...CIGS WILL BE SLOW TO LIFT AT KVTN THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AS PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL STRATUS REMAINS UPSTREAM OF
THE TERMINAL. AT THIS TIME...MVFR CIGS NOT EXPECTED TO BREAK APART
AT KVTN TIL AROUND 01Z...WITH MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK EXPECTED TO
FILTER IN THEREAFTER IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO RELAX THIS AFTERNOON AT THE
TERMINAL AS HIGH PRESSURE NUDGES DOWN FROM THE NORTH...EVENTUALLY
REACHING 8KTS OR LESS OVERNIGHT. AT KLBF...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...WITH CIGS SLOWLY
DETERIORATING DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. EVENTUALLY MAY SEE A LIGHT
SHOWER NEAR THE TERMINAL FRIDAY MORNING...BUT CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO INCLUDE MORE THAN A PRO30 GROUP AT THIS TIME AS BETTER
FORCING FROM DISTURBANCE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE PANHANDLE OF THE
STATE.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 358 AM CDT THU OCT 4 2012/

DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS DEAL WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY...AS WELL AS PRECIPITATION TYPE. TEMPERATURES /BOTH
HIGHS AND LOWS/ WERE THE NEXT HIGH CONCERN OVER THE NEXT WEEK.

AT 08Z...WATER VAPOR SHOWED AN INTENSE SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER SOUTH
DAKOTA...WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST WINTER STORM OF THE
SEASON...IMPACTING NORTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA. FURTHER UPSTREAM
WITHING A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER CENTRAL CANADA AND INTO THE
NORTHERN CONUS WAS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH LOCATED OVER BRITISH
COLUMBIA WITH ANOTHER OVER OREGON. ALSO SEEN WAS A REX BLOCK SITUATED
OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WITH THE RIDGING INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA.
CLOSER TO HOME...THE SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM OVER
THE NORTHER PLAINS WAS OVER CENTRAL MINNESOTA. THE COLD FRONT THAT
PUSHED THROUGH THE REGION YESTERDAY WAS LOCATED FROM THE LOW IN
MINNESOTA THROUGH CENTRAL IOWA...EASTERN KANSAS AND INTO THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE. WINDS REMAINED BREEZY OVERNIGHT OVER NEBRASKA...BUT THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT HAD BEEN RELAXING...WITH SPEEDS SLOWLY
DECREASING IN THE LOCAL AREA.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT

A MUCH COOLER DAY IS ON TAP FOR TODAY DUE TO STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THAT PASSED THE REGION ON
WEDNESDAY. SOUNDING DATA SHOWED 24 HOUR TEMPERATURE DROPS OF
AROUND 20 DEGREES AT 850MB. ALTHOUGH MOST PLACES WILL SEE QUITE A
BIT OF SUNSHINE TODAY...THE COLD AIR ALOFT WILL ONLY ALLOW HIGHS
IN THE 50S...WITH PERHAPS A FEW LOCALIZED 60 DEGREE READINGS EVEN
WITH FULL MIXING TO 750 OR 800MB.

THROUGH TONIGHT...THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER MINNESOTA WILL LIFT
INTO ONTARIO WHILE ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY WILL ROTATE SOUTH
ACROSS MONTANA. MEANWHILE...THE SHORTWAVE OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA
PROGRESSES ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND INTO WYOMING. THE ENERGY OVER
MONTANA WILL IMPACT THE AREA BY CONTINUING THE PUSH OF COLD AIR
INTO THE REGION. SO AS THE AIRMASS REMAINS COLDER THAN NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR...STRONG LIFT AND MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL BE
OCCURRING IN RESPONSE TO THE ONCOMING SHORTWAVE OVER WYOMING.
GOOD FORCING SEEN FROM THE MODELS AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE
AREA. THIS IS A TOP-DOWN SATURATION CASE...WITH THE MOISTURE
ADVECTION IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS INITIALLY. HOWEVER GOOD
UPWARD MOTION THROUGH THE LEVELS CONTINUES TO HELP CONFIDENCE IN
DEVELOPING MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION. FIRST...A JET STREAK WILL
KEEP MUCH OF WESTERN NEBRASKA IN THE FAVORABLE AREA FOR UPWARD
VERTICAL MOTION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. SECOND...GOOD UPWARD
MOTION SEEN IN THE ISENTROPIC SURFACES ACROSS THE PANHANDLE AND
WESTERN NEBRASKA DURING THIS SAME TIME FRAME. AND THIRD...UPSLOPE
FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS WILL PROMOTE PRECIPITATION FORMATION.
ACCORDING TO OBSERVED SOUNDINGS...THE AIR IS VERY DRY ACROSS THE
REGION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A SLOW PROGRESSION TO SATURATION
DUE TO THE DRY AIR CURRENTLY BEING OBSERVED. BELIEVE THAT ALTHOUGH
FORCING IS STRONG...IT WILL TAKE MOST OF FRIDAY NIGHT TO BECOME
SATURATED...SO CONTINUED WITH THE SLIGHT CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION.

WITH SATURATION BEING REACHED BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE PANHANDLE AND INTO THE WESTERN SANDHILLS THIS
PRECIPITATION SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING. THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DOES MOVE OFF TO THE EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON...WHICH
COULD BRING AN END TO THE PRECIPITATION. BUT...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
WILL BE CLOSE BEHIND...MOVING FROM MONTANA INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
BY SATURDAY. THE BEST DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL MAINLY BE
ACROSS THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND INTO EASTERN COLORADO AND
WESTERN KANSAS. COULD SEE PRECIPITATION IN THE FAR WESTERN PARTS
OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH SATURDAY...THEN DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. ALTHOUGH THERE HAS
BEEN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN MODEL SOLUTIONS CONCERNING THIS
STORM SYSTEM...THE GFS/GEM ARE SLIGHTLY NORTH WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
FEATURES FOR SATURDAY. TOOK THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD...DROPPING THE
HIGHER POPS TO THE VERY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST LOCATIONS...BUT KEEPING
SLIGHT CHANCES INTO CENTRAL AND WEST CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

DIDN/T MAKE MUCH FOR CHANGES IN PRECIPITATION TYPE. DYNAMIC
COOLING SHOULD CAUSE ANY PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS SNOW STARTING
FRIDAY AS TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT APPROACH THE WETBULB JUST BELOW
0C. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WON/T WARM MUCH ON FRIDAY...SHOULD SEE
ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE SNOW TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX OR COMPLETELY TO RAIN
BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY LOOK TO FOLLOW
THE SAME TREND...WITH SNOW OVERNIGHT WITH A SWITCHOVER TO
RAIN/SNOW...THEN RAIN DURING THE DAY.

TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WILL BE BELOW NORMAL.
TONIGHT...THE FORECAST WILL HIGHLY DEPEND ON CLOUD COVER.
DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE 20S ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA...AND WITH LIGHT WINDS FORECAST...COULD SEE PRETTY DRAMATIC
DROPS IN TEMPERATURES IF SKIES STAY CLEAR. THE MOST PROBABLE AREA FOR
THIS TO OCCUR WOULD BE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AS CLOUDS
SHOULD BE MOVING IN OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. DO HAVE
MINIMUM TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING IN THESE AREAS...BUT WITH THE
UNCERTAINTY DECIDED TO NOT ISSUE A FREEZE WARNING UNTIL HAVE A
BETTER IDEA OF CLOUD COVERAGE. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY HIGHS WILL
ALSO DEPEND ON WHERE THE THICKER CLOUD COVER/PRECIPITATION WILL
BE. CURRENTLY HAVE THE COOLER TEMPERATURES OVER THE PANHANDLE
AND INTO THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN AREAS. COULD GET SOME SUNSHINE
GOING TO THE NORTHEAST AND WITH THE CONTINUED DRY GROUND...DID
BUMP UP TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES BUT STILL ONLY EXPECTING HIGHS
IN THE 40S TO MID 50S.

LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY ALSO HAVE A GOOD CHANCE FOR
DROPPING BELOW FREEZING FOR THE FIRST WIDESPREAD KILLING FREEZE OF
THE SEASON. SHOULD HAVE MORE CLOUD COVER FRIDAY NIGHT...SO THINK
THE COLDER TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE NORTH CENTRAL
PORTION OF NEBRASKA. THEN WITH CLEARING SKIES FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT...THINK LOW TO MID 20S LOOK VERY POSSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA. MODELS DO LOOK TO KEEP SOME LIGHT WINDS ACROSS THE
AREA...BUT THEY MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM
DROPPING.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

FAIRLY QUIET PERIOD THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE UPPER
LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY PART OF THE PACIFIC REX BLOCK WILL MIGRATE
ONSHORE...OVER CALIFORNIA. MEANWHILE...NORTHWEST FLOW WILL REMAIN
ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. CURRENT MODEL SUITE KEEPS
ANY ACTIVITY INVOLVED WITH PASSING SYSTEMS NORTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA. THEREFORE DRY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEK WITH
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY MODERATING...BUT REMAINING BELOW NORMAL. DID
NUDGE LOWS DOWN A FEW DEGREES...AND HIGHS UP A FEW DEGREES
THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD PER TRENDS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS IN
SIMILAR SITUATIONS.
