AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1146 PM CST FRI DEC 27 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM CST FRI DEC 27 2013

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE TEMPERATURES AND TIMING THE COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE AREA.

SATELLITE AND OBSERVATIONS INDICATE ONLY A FEW CIRRUS MOVING THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. ANALYSIS SHOWS A BROAD SURFACE
TROUGH ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS TURNING TOWARDS THE
NORTHWEST AS IT PASSES BY.

ZONAL FLOW WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. THERE IS WARM
ADVECTION THROUGH THE NIGHT AND EXPECT A MILD NIGHT. THE FORECAST
SHOWS SOME DRASTIC CHANGES COMING DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. AN UPPER
LEVEL WAVE APPROACHES THE AREA EARLY IN THE MORNING. A SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPING IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS HAS A COLD FRONT TOWARDS THE
SOUTHWEST. DURING THE MORNING THE FRONT STRENGTHENS AND MOVES INTO
THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA BY NOON. DURING THE
AFTERNOON THE FRONT PROGRESSES TOWARD THE SOUTH...MUCH COLDER AIR
MOVES INTO THE AREA AS WELL AS AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE. BY EVENING
THE FRONT IS MAINLY THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA AND THE MOISTURE HAS
PUSHED THROUGH MUCH OF THE NEBRASKA PORTION OF THE AREA.

WINDS WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL INCREASE
TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. TEMPERATURES WILL START TO FALL
IN THE FAR NORTH DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE
NORTH WILL BE AN HOUR OR TWO EARLIER THAN NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR AND WILL START TO FALL DURING THE LATER AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 256 PM CST FRI DEC 27 2013

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL FEEL LIKE A ROLLER COASTER RIDE WITH AN
INITIAL SHARP FALL OF AROUND 40 DEGREES FOR SUNDAY HIGHS. WE THEN
HEAD BACK UPWARD WITH AROUND A 15 DEGREE INCREASE FOR MONDAY ONLY TO
AGAIN FALL BACK A FEW DEGREES ON TUESDAY. A NICER WARM UP IS THEN
EXPECTED BY LATE WEEK. AT THIS POINT ACCUMULATING SNOW SEEMS
UNLIKELY ALTHOUGH FLURRIES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT WITH SOME OF THE
PASSING FRONTS.

SATURDAY NIGHT...OUR ABRUPT RETURN INTO THE UNPLEASANT BITTER COLD
OF WINTER WITH FEEL LIKE A STINGING SLAP ON THE FACE BY LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AS NORTHERLY WINDS INCREASE INTO THE 25 TO 30 MPH
RANGE WITH GUSTS OF 40 TO APPROACHING 45 MPH. WE MAY VERY WELL NEED
TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A FUTURE FORECAST
PACKAGE AS WIND SPEEDS WILL BE RIGHT AROUND THE LOWER THRESHOLD OF
OUR 30 MPH ADVISORY CRITERIA. IN ADDITION...THIS IS A VERY COLD
CANADIAN CONTINENTAL AIRMASS...WHICH WILL RESULT IN LOW TEMPERATURES
BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS MUCH OF NEBRASKA
TO THE LOWER TEENS OVER KANSAS. GIVEN THE NEAR 30 MPH WIND WE SHOULD
HAVE WIND CHILL VALUES ALONG AND NORTH OF I-80 IN THE -15 TO -20
DEGREE RANGE...WHICH WILL BE KNOCKING ON THE DOORSTEP OF OUR -20F
CRITERIA FOR A WIND CHILL ADVISORY. THE PREVIOUS FORECAST JUST ADDED
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW FLURRIES TO THE FORECAST AND HAVE OPTED TO
LEAVE THESE IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW FOR CONTINUITY SAKE. THERE WILL
BE A LOW STRATUS DECK THAT MOVES THROUGH WITH THE FRONT AND THE
IDEAL SNOW PRODUCING DENDRITIC LAYER TEMPERATURES WILL BE FOUND
WITHIN THIS STRATUS BANK. HOWEVER...THE 12Z NAM...GFS...ECMWF ALL
INDICATE ZERO QPF AND THE STRATUS DECK IS RATHER MEAGER AND THIN.
THEREFORE...ACCUMULATING SNOW IS UNLIKELY AND WILL KEEP POPS
GENERALLY BELOW 10 PERCENT. COULD SEE FLURRIES BEING PULLED OUT OF
THE FORECAST WITH FUTURE UPDATES IF CURRENT MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE.

SUNDAY...IT WILL REMAIN WINDY THROUGH THE MORNING AND THEN GRADUALLY
DECREASE TO JUST BREEZY BY AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WEAKENS. HOWEVER...DO NOT BE MISTAKEN OR CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE
HUGE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY. THE WORST OF
THE COLD WILL HIT US ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS WELL BELOW NORMAL RANGING
FROM THE TEENS NORTHEAST TO THE LOWER AND MID 20S ACROSS SOUTHWEST
ZONES. IF YOU THINK THAT IS BAD...SOME NORTHERN IOWA LOCATIONS WILL
REMAIN BELOW ZERO FOR HIGHS ON SUNDAY. CERTAINLY NOT A PLEASANT DAY
ACROSS THE REGION. SKIES SHOULD BE PARTLY CLOUDY WITH DRY CONDITIONS.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WE REMAIN UNDER A CONTINUED NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WITH WEAK SHORT WAVES/CLIPPERS TRACKING ACROSS
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS WILL RESULT IN SEVERAL SHOTS
OF COLD AIR FOLLOWED BY BRIEF WARMUPS. THE BRUNT OF THE COLD AIR
WILL PASS TO OUR NORTHEAST...WHILE LOCATIONS TO OUR SOUTHWEST MAY
SEE LITTLE IMPACT OR VERY GLANCING BLOWS FROM THESE FRONTS. OUR
FORECAST AREA WILL BE THE TRANSITION ZONE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
POSSIBLY VARYING BY 10 TO 20F BETWEEN THE COLDER NORTHEAST ZONES AND
THE WARMER SOUTHWEST ZONES. WILL KEEP THE PERIOD DRY FOR NOW BUT IT
IS POSSIBLE THAT A CLIPPER TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY COULD BRING A
FEW FLURRIES TO THE AREA. THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A WARMING TREND AS
WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH PERHAPS HIGHS BACK INTO THE
40S. WE WILL HAVE TO SEE IF THAT WARMING TREND HOLDS WITH FUTURE
MODEL RUNS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z KGRI TAF THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1127 PM CST FRI DEC 27 2013

MAIN ISSUE WILL BE A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH LATE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH QUITE STRONG WIND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
SATURDAY EVENING. MVFR STRATUS ARE ANTICIPATED BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT WITH SUCH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION. SOME FLURRIES ARE
POSSIBLE AS WELL SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT THE CHANCES ARE SCANT ENOUGH
FOR NOW THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ADDED TO THIS FORECAST.
