AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
627 PM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 627 PM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

JUST UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA AND THE WESTERN NEBRASKA SANDHILLS.
AM EXPECTING THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER
THE NEXT 1 TO 2 HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 PM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

ACTIVE WEATHER PLAGUES THIS FORECAST PERIOD AS A STRONG LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS.

AT 20Z...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS OVER THE FOUR CORNERS...WHILE
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ON THE LEE SIDE OF THE ROCKIES OVER EASTERN
COLORADO STRENGTHENED. THIS HAS ALLOWED FOR THE FRONT THAT HAD BEEN
FAIRLY STATIONARY OVER THE PAST DAY OR SO TO START TO PUSH TO THE
WEST BY MID AFTERNOON. SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS HAVE INCREASED
ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA...WHICH IS STARTING TO BRING SOME SLIGHTLY
MOISTER AIR /DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 50S/ INTO THE AREA. THE DRYLINE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM SHOULD SERVE FOR A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION
YET THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER NEED TO LOOK ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO
INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO GET A TIGHT ENOUGH GRADIENT TO BRING
MORE LIKELIHOOD FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT.

THE SURFACE LOW WILL LIFT NORTH THROUGH THIS EVENING...AND WHILE
INITIAL CONVECTION IS EXPECTED OVER WESTERN KANSAS ON THE
DRYLINE...FURTHER DEVELOPMENT SHOULD OCCUR UP INTO THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT AS THE BETTER UPPER LEVEL FORCING
MOVES IN WITH THE UPPER LOW LIFTING THROUGH COLORADO. CONTINUE TO
SEE A JET STREAK PUSH FROM SOUTHEAST COLORADO INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA
SO LARGE SCALE LIFT WILL BE GOOD AS THE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH.
LOOKING AT STORM MODE...EXPECTING STORMS TO QUICKLY DEVELOP INTO A
SQUALL LINE FROM THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS WHICH
WILL QUICKLY PUSH TO THE NORTH AND EAST. STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS
WILL ALLOW STORMS TO MOVE NORTHEAST AROUND 45 MPH. ALSO...THE
BOUNDARY LAYER IS FAIRLY DRY...AND AS LATE AFTERNOON SUN WILL HELP
TO STEEPEN LAPSE RATES DAMAGING WINDS LOOKS TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT
FROM THUNDERSTORMS. A STRONGER CAP WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS EASTERN
NEBRASKA...SO EXPECT STORMS TO DECREASE IN INTENSITY AS THEY MOVE
EAST OF HIGHWAY 83 THIS EVENING. AS FOR TIMING...THE BEST UPPER
LEVEL FORCING...TO CAUSE MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WILL MOVE INTO
THE AREA AFTER 00Z SO HAVE TRENDED THE FORECAST TO SEE THE PRIMARY
STORM CHANCES THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. AFTER 06Z...INSTABILITY
WILL WANE...SO ONLY EXPECTING ISOLATED THUNDER CHANCES. WITH THE
MODE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING EXPECTED TO BE
QUASI-LINEAR...AGAIN EXPECTING STRONG WINDS...AND PERHAPS SOME SMALL
HAIL WITH THE STORMS. ALSO...EVEN THOUGH THE STORMS WILL BE MOVING
QUICKLY...COULD GET SOME GOOD RAINFALLS AS PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES INCREASE YET BY THIS EVENING TO ABOVE 125 PERCENT OF NORMAL.

AS THE WHOLE SYSTEM LIFTS INTO SOUTH DAKOTA ON FRIDAY...THERE MAY BE
SOME LINGERING SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER NORTHERN NEBRASKA...HOWEVER THE
NEXT FORECAST ISSUE IS WINDS. WITH A VERY STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE AREA STRONG WINDS ARE LIKELY. THE SYSTEM WRAPS UP AS IT
MOVES FROM CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA INTO EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH
THE DAY. THIS WILL KEEP THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTEST OVER SOUTH
DAKOTA...BUT STILL EXPECTING QUITE STRONG WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN
PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS ALL THE WAY DOWN
THROUGH SOUTHERN NEBRASKA. MODELS ARE INDICATING SUSTAINED WINDS UP
TO NEAR 40 MPH OVER THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA...CENTERED AROUND 18Z FRIDAY...WITH LESSER SPEEDS TO THE SOUTH.
THAT BEING SAID...GOOD MIXING IS EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEBRASKA...AND WITH WINDS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER LOOKING TO
BE NEAR 40KTS EXPECT A WINDY DAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. SO
HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY.
WINDS WILL SUBSIDE ACROSS ALL AREAS BY FRIDAY EVENING.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 PM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY THE MAIN LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT INTO
CANADA...WHILE THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL FLATTEN OUT ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. REMOVED PREVIOUS SLIGHT SHOWER CHANCE ACROSS FAR
SOUTHWESTERN AREAS. MOISTURE WILL BE TOO LIMITED AS IT MOVES EAST
FROM THE COLORADO ROCKIES. ON SATURDAY...AN UPSTREAM TROUGH BEGINS
TO AMPLIFY FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA INTO WASHINGTON/OREGON INTO
IDAHO/WESTERN MONTANA. WITH SURFACE HIGH OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA
SLOWLY MOVING EAST INTO THE MISSOURI VALLEY...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT.
ONLY VERY MINOR CHANGES TO HIGHS SATURDAY RANGING IN THE UPPER 50S
AND LOWER 60S.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY UPPER FLOW ONCE AGAIN BECOMES
SOUTHWESTERLY ALOFT ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AS A CLOSED LOW DIGS
INTO UTAH. THE 12Z GFS...NAM GEM AND ECMWF ARE ALL IN REASONABLY
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH POSITION OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND CLOSED LOW.
THERE WILL BE RETURN OF GULF MOISTURE INTO NEBRASKA ON SUNDAY. WARM
AIR ADVECTION ALOFT MAY TRIGGER SHOWERS ACROSS AT LEAST THE
EASTERN HALF OF FORECAST AREA BY AFTERNOON AND HAVE INCLUDED A
SLIGHT CHANCE. SUNDAY NIGHT...MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...THIS UPPER
TROUGH AND CLOSED LOW WILL SLOWLY DIG INTO THE REGION THROUGH
MONDAY BUT WILL TAKE ON A STRONG POSITIVE TILT. THERE WILL BE A
TAP OF GULF MOISTURE...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR APPRECIABLE RAINFALL
WHICH IS SHOWN BY THE ECMWF/GEM AND GFS. TIMING DIFFERENCES ARE
LESS THAN PREVIOUSLY...SO LIKELY POPS LOOK ON TRACK SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY. HIGHS MONDAY COOLER IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S. SHOWER
CHANCES LESSEN MONDAY NIGHT AND END SOUTHWEST TUESDAY. GOING INTO
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...NORTHERN STREAM TROUGHING WILL OCCUR
ACROSS THE PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES REGION WITH DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED IN WESTERN NEBRASKA. HIGHS COOLER IN THE MID/UPPER 50S.
