1206 PM CST SAT FEB 9 2013

.AVIATION...18Z KGRI TAF...SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE INCREASING AT THE
TERMINAL THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A SURFACE LOW CROSSING THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES. EXPECT THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH WINDS GUSTING TO 32KTS BY THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS. IN ADDITION...EXPECT SOME SHOWERS TO DEVELOP
AFTER SUNSET AS THE MAIN LOW ENTERS SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA...WITH
MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS EXPECTED AFT 10/04Z...WITH FURTHER
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS EXPECTED DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS
THE LOW CROSSES THE STATE. EXPECT THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TO
BRING AN ABRUPT SHIFT IN WINDS ABOUT 10/15Z...WITH CIGS IMPROVING
SOME AFTER ITS PASSAGE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 AM CST SAT FEB 9 2013/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.  ATTENTION IS ON THE UPPER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH WILL CROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS TONIGHT/SUNDAY.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY PLACED THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE
SOUTHWEST CONUS WITH CIRCULATIONS IN SOUTHERN CA AND EASTERN NV.
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WAS IN PLACE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AHEAD OF
THE APPROACHING SYSTEM AND HIGH CLOUD COVER WAS STREAMING NORTH
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS.

AT THE SFC...LOW PRESSURE WAS DEEPENING IN EASTERN COLORADO AND WIND
SPEEDS HAVE BEEN STEADY FROM THE SOUTH...WHICH HAVE HELPED HOLD UP
TEMPS. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE DURING THE DAY
WITH THE DEEPENING SFC LOW/TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND 3HR
HEIGHT FALLS ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 3 TO 4MB. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES INDICATE MIXING TO AROUND H85 WITH WINDS
AT THE TOP OF THE LAYER AVERAGING 35KTS. GIVEN THE EXPECTED STRONG
WINDS...WILL GO AHEAD WITH A WIND ADVISORY FOR NC KS TODAY.

THE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL DRAW MOISTURE NORTHWARD AND SFC DPS ARE
PROGGED TO RISE INTO THE MID 30S TO NEAR 40F BY EVENING.  THE UPPER
LOW MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON AND ISENTROPIC
LIFT INCREASES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AS INDICATED ON THE 300K
SFC.  IN INCREASING LIFT AND UPPER DYNAMICS AS SYSTEM
APPROACHES...SHOWER DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTN.  THIS
EVENING/TONIGHT BOTH THE UPPER LOW AND SFC LOW PUSH EAST FM
COLORADO...LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS NEB.  MODEL ELEVATED INSTABILITY
PROGS ALONG THE DRY LINE JUST WEST OF OUR CWA HAVE INCREASED THE
LAST FEW RUNS WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED J/KG PROGGED NEAR OR JUST ALONG
OUR WEST/SOUTHWEST ZONES EARLY TONIGHT.  WITH SUCH A DYNAMIC
SYSTEM...TREMENDOUS SHEAR IS PRESENT AS WELL.  WITH LATEST MODEL
TRENDS...HAVE WENT WITH STRAIGHT TSTM WORDING IN VCNTY OF DRY LINE
WITH CONTINUED ISOLATED TSTMS FARTHER NORTH/EAST. NOT LOOKING FOR
MUCH IN THE WAY OF SEVERE WEATHER BUT WE COULD BE ON THE EDGE OF
OF A STRONG STORM.

COVERAGE OF PCPN WILL EXPAND OVERNIGHT IN INCREASING DYNAMICS AS
SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL NEB.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
AVERAGE AROUND ONE HALF OF AN INCH...WHICH ARE TWO STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. GENERALLY EXPECT MOST
LOCATIONS TO SEE A TENTH OF AN INCH OF PCPN WITH SOME LOCALLY
HIGHER QUARTER OF AN INCH AMOUNTS OR SO. PCPN WILL WIND DOWN
ACROSS KS BY MORNING WITH ARRIVAL OF DRY SLOT...WHEREAS OUR
NORTHERN/WESTERN ZONES WILL BE NEAR THE DEFORMATION/WRAPAROUND
PCPN BY MORNING. WINDS WILL BE STEADY THRU THE NIGHT AND HAVE CONCERNS
THAT OUR WIND ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED THRU THE NIGHT IN
KS. COLD FRONT ON BACK SIDE OF THE LOW REACHES OUR NW ZONES
TOWARDS 12Z SUNDAY. THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM REMAINS CONSISTENT
AMONG MODELS WITH OUR NORTH/NORTHWEST ZONES ON THE SOUTHERN
EDGE/PERIPHERY OF THE HEAVY SNOW WHICH WILL IMPACT WESTERN AND
NORTHERN NEBRASKA.

AS COLD AIR ARRIVES BEHIND FRONT W/E ON SUNDAY THE RAIN WILL CHANGE
TO SNOW ACROSS NEB...WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR R/S MIX IN OUR
SOUTH/EAST UNTIL COLD AIR DEEPENS. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL STILL
ULTIMATELY BE DEPENDENT ON TRACK OF SYSTEM...AND AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2
INCHES CANNOT BE RULED OUT FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY NORTH OF A LINE
FROM LEXINGTON TO LOUP CITY AND GREELEY....WITH AMOUNTS RAPIDLY
DECREASING FARTHER SOUTH...TO LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATIONS SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 80.

THIS BEING SAID...SNOW MEASUREMENTS WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AS
THE SNOW WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY INTENSE NORTHWEST WINDS.  3HR
PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE FRONT AVERAGE 4 TO 5MB...AND H85 WINDS ARE
ON THE ORDER OF 45 TO 50KTS.  THE WINDS COMBINED WITH ANY SNOW IN
THE NORTH WILL CAUSE REDUCED VSBYS IN BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW.  EVEN
IF THE SNOW DOES NOT MATERIALIZE...THE INTENSE WINDS WILL AN ISSUE
ACROSS OUR ENTIRE CWA WITH SPEEDS AT SOLID WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. HAVE
OPTED TO HOLD OFF ON THE THIRD PERIOD HEADLINE ATTM...AS WE WILL
HAVE A WIND ADVISORY IN OUR SOUTH TODAY AND IF SNOW MATERIALIZES
IN THE NORTH...OUR NORTHERN ZONES WILL LIKELY NEED A WINTER WX
HEADLINE VS A NON PCPN HEADLINE AND PREFER TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH
POTENTIAL HEADLINE CHANGES. WILL HANDLE ONE PERIOD AT A TIME FOR
NOW.

THE PCPN RAPIDLY WINDS DOWN SUNDAY AFTN AS THE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST
INTO MN.  WINDS REMAIN STEADY INTO THE NIGHT...BEFORE GRADUALLY
SUBSIDING AS SFC RIDGE BUILDS ONTO THE PLAINS ON MONDAY.  IN THE WAKE
OF THE SYSTEM...DRY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR MONDAY WITH TEMPS
NEAR/BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS AS LLVL FLOW WILL BE ADVECTING OFF THE
SNOWPACK TO OUR N/NW.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THRU FRIDAY

BIG STORY: WINTER IS MAKING A RETURN MOVE NOW AND IT WILL BE AN
INTERESTING RIDE HERE THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS AS WE ENDURE SOME
SERIOUS COLD TEMPS WITH AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR DESERT SW SYSTEMS
TO THREATEN SOME SNOW.

PATTERN: THE ATMOSPHERE IS TRANSITIONING TO A LONG-WAVE TROF OVER
THE CNTRL USA. THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND STORM IS THE RESULT. WE LOSE
THE TROF TEMPORARILY NEXT MID-WEEK BEFORE IT RE-AMPLIFIES THU-FRI.
THIS WILL UNLOADS SOME WINTER COLD S INTO THE CNTRL PLAINS WITH ONE
DAY OF MUCH BELOW NORMAL TEMPS FRI. CURRENTLY EXPECT HIGHS IN THE
20S OVER S-CNTRL NEB AND NEAR FRZG OVER N-CNTRL KS. THE COLD WILL
TEMPORARILY EASE FOR A DAY OR TWO CENTERED AROUND SUN 2/17 BEFORE
THE NEXT TROF AND COLD FRONT ARRIVAL SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

COLD: THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN IS LOOKING COLD THE NEXT TWO WEEKS VIA
H5 HGT AND 2M TEMP ANOMALIES. THIS COINCIDES WITH MJO PHASES 2 AND
3. THE LAST TIME WE WERE IN THESE PHASES WAS LATE DEC WHEN WE HAD A
PERIOD OF BRUTAL COLD. WHILE IT WONT BE CONTINUOUSLY COLD...EXPECT
TEMPS TO AVERAGE MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL WITH MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES
FOR BELOW NORMAL WINTER COLD. GFS ENSEMBLE MULTI-DAY MEANS SUGGEST A
SIGNIFICANT +HGT ANOMALY OVER THE NE PAC WHICH FAVORS TROFFING OVER
THE W. IT/S EASY TO IMAGINE WE/LL BE DEALING WITH ANOTHER EPISODE OR
TWO OF LEE CYCLOGENESIS FOLLOWING UP THE EVENT CURRENTLY ON THE
DOORSTEP.

UPPER-LEVELS: +TILT LONG-WAVE TROF HEADS E TUE WITH DECENT HGT
RISES. A MODEST SHORT-WAVE RIDGE ARRIVES WED AHEAD OF THE NEXT
SHORT-WAVE TROF THAT MOVES INTO THE PAC NW. THIS TROF AND ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT FOLLOW THU AND AMPLIFY FRI. THIS MULTI-DAY
PROCESS THEN REPEATS AGAIN.

HAZARDS: NONE FORESEEN.

UPCOMING PCPN OPPORTUNITIES: NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL. BUT SOME MINOR
THREATS EXIST TUE /PROBABLY MISSES TO THE S/ AND AGAIN THU-FRI WHICH
LOOK LIGHT.

THE DAILY DETAILS...

TUE: COULD START THE DAY WITH LEFTOVER CLOUDS PER CROSS SECTIONS...
OTHERWISE CLEARING. TEMPS RECOVER TO 3-5F ABOVE NORMAL. OVERALL A
NICE DAY.

WED: P/CLOUDY. STILL PROJECTED TO BE THE BEST WX DAY NEXT WEEK. WAA
AS LEE TROF DEVELOPS IN THE WARM SECTOR OF SRN CANADA LOW PRES.
TEMPS NEAR 10F ABOVE NORMAL.

THU: COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE PROBABLY ACCOMPANIED BY SNOW SHWRS OR
FLURRIES. CAA WITH A BLUSTERY NW WIND AND PROBABLY FALLING TEMPS
BEHIND COLD FRONT. BELIEVE WE/LL EVENTUALLY NEED HIGHER POPS AS
SEVERAL GFS ENSEMBLES HAVE A SMATTERING OF LIGHT QPF.

FRI: A WINTRY LOOK AND FEEL WITH BLUSTERY NW WINDS TO 30 MPH AND
WIND CHILLS OCCASIONALLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. PROBABLY SCATTERED
FLURRIES. TEMPS IN THE 20S FOR MUCH OF THE FCST AREA WITH A NARROW
DIURNAL RANGE. TEMPS 10F BELOW NORMAL LOOK PROBABLE. ENSEMBLES
CONTINUE -1 STANDARD DEVIATION.
