AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

314 PM CDT FRI MAR 30 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.

SEVERAL PERIODS OF ISOLD/SMALL POP CONVECTION CHANCES DOT SHORT
TERM FORECAST LANDSCAPE OTHERWISE TEMPERATURES ARE THE PRIMARY CONCERN.

FIRST SMALL PRECIP CHANCE IS EARLY THIS EVENING AS UPPER SHORT
WAVE ENERGY PUSHING TOWARD MO RIVER PER AFTERNOON STLT IMAGERY
FOCUSES ON CONVERGENT BOUNDARY WHICH AT 19Z STRETCHED FROM YKN-
TQE-OMA WITH SECOND CONVERGENT AREA APPROACHING LNK AND OLU.
SELECTIVE MODELS...I.E. HRRR+4KM WRF HAVE GENERATED SMALL QPF CLUSTER
WHICH PUSHES INTO SWRN IA BEFORE WEAKENING FAIRLY QUICKLY WITH
LOSS OF HEATING. MEANWHILE RUC KEPT MID LAYER PRETTY DRY/WELL
MIXED CAP AND GFS NOT OVERLY SUPPORTIVE EITHER. WILL EXTEND SMALL
POPS ERN ZONES EARLY THIS EVENING...HOWEVER...DUE TO CONVERGENT
CU AND OCNL WEAK CELLS THAT HAD CONTD TO DEVELOP ON RADAR IN
19-20Z PERIOD.

OTHERWISE FLAT UPPER RIDGING SPREADING ACROSS PLAINS ON SATURDAY
WILL BRING EVEN WARMER READINGS TO AREA WITH NEAR RECORD HIGHS
LIKELY AT OFK/OMA AND LNK. DID NOT INCLUDE LATE AFTERNOON POPS AT
THIS TIME NEAR H85 THERMAL AXIS NEAR OR N OF OMA AND POINTS
EWD...BUT CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES COULD BE REACHED PER NAM
FORECAST SOUNDINGS. AREA WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED...BUT LEFT OUT
DUE TO AREA APPEARS WILL EXTEND IN GENERAL UPPER RIDGE AREA.

UPPER RIDGE AMPS/SHIFTS EAST A LITTLE SUNDAY SPREADING EVEN
WARMER H85 TEMPS OVER AREA. RECORD HIGHS AGAIN APPROACHED MANY
LOCATIONS AS IT APPEARS MOST HIGHS SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER
THAN THOSE EXPECTED ON SATURDAY.

LEFT IN SMALL POPS WITH FRONT ON MONDAY ALTHOUGH THERE WAS LITTLE
UPPER SUPPORT WITH FRONT PUSHING INTO NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER
RIDGE AS ENERGY SPLITS. HOWEVER...WITH VERY WARM TEMPERATURES
AHEAD OF THIS STRONGER COLD FRONT...AND DELAYED TIMING A BIT...DID
BOOST MAX TEMPS A CATEGORY OR SO SERN 1/2-2/3RDS OF THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.

FOCUS TURNS TO HOW FAR NORTH UPPER LOW WILL DRIFT FOR POSSIBLE
PRECIP CHANCES...IF IT LIFTS FAR ENOUGH N...OR FOR POTENTIAL
FROST/ISOLD FREEZING TEMPERATURES IF PATTERN DEVELOPS INTO A
STALLED REX-LIKE BLOCK WITH UPPER LOW FARTHER SOUTH. ALTHOUGH
LOWERED A FEW LOW TEMPERATURES INTO UPPER 30S-40ISH WED AM DID NOT
STRAY TOO FAR FROM MODEL BLEND WITH OTHER LOW TEMPS AS TOO MANY
UNCERTAINTIES PERSIST. DID ALSO LOWER MAX TEMPS A LITTLE IN WED-
THU PERIOD AND SPREAD POPS A LITTLE FARTHER NW MON NIGHT INTO TUE.
HOWEVER...ENTIRE PERIOD WILL LIKELY SEE CHANGES...AND AT LEAST
MODERATE ONES...AS CONFIDENCE WAS LOW WITH HOW PATTERN WILL
DEVELOP.
