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

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 356 AM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

ANALYSIS OF THE 07Z MSL DATA SHOWED LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...SOUTHEAST COLORADO AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA. A
FRONT WAS STRETCHED THROUGH THOSE LOW CENTERS. SURFACE DEWPOINTS
WERE IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA WITH LOW TO MID
50S IN THE EAST. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED CYCLOGENESIS OVER
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1001 AM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

UPDATED THE FORECAST TO SLOW THE TIMING OF STORMS INTO WESTERN
NEBRASKA LATER TODAY. LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BE CENTERED OVER
NORTHEAST COLORADO LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP
NEAR THE LOW AND SOUTHWARD ALONG A DRYLINE EXTENDING INTO WESTERN
KANSAS. BELIEVE THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA WILL NOT SEE MUCH ACTIVITY
UNTIL AFTER 00Z WHEN THE STORMS SHOULD CONGEAL INTO A SQUALL LINE
AND PUSH NORTHEAST. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS ON
TRACK...HOWEVER WITH QUITE A BIT OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS MAY
NEED TO WATCH HIGHS FOR THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 356 AM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

AS THE CALIFORNIA CYCLONE MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS TO
SOUTHEAST COLORADO...CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO AND A
SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPS BY LATE AFTERNOON AND MOVES
NORTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA AND INTO THE WESTERN DAKOTAS BY
EARLY FRIDAY. AS IT GOES THROUGH NEBRASKA AND INTO THE DAKOTAS...
THE FRONT STRENGTHENS AND PIVOTS AROUND IT THROUGH CENTRAL AND
WESTERN NEBRASKA OVERNIGHT.

MOISTURE TRANSPORT ON THE 305K THETA SURFACE SHOWS A SPLIT IN THE
FLOW BRINGING A TRAJECTORY OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
AND INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA BY LATE THIS MORNING WHICH WILL BRING SOME
UNSEASONABLY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES (0.75-1.25 INCH) TO THE
AREA WEST OF HIGHWAY 83 BY EARLY THIS EVENING. DURING THE EVENING...
SURFACE-BASED CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL INCREASES TO 500-900J/KG AND
ELEVATED (800MB BASED) INCREASES TO 1000-1100J/KG. ALSO...DEEP SHEAR
(0-6KM) IS 45-55KT ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AND PARALLEL TO THE
BOUNDARY. THEREFORE...THE SCENE IS SET FOR AT LEAST A FEW SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS BUT THE SHEAR DIRECTION WOULD FAVOR A LINEAR
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM RATHER THAN DISCRETE CELLS. THAT WOULD FAVOR A
RISK OF DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL. WITH NEAR SURFACE LAPSE RATE
OF 7.5-8.5 AND STRONG LOW LEVEL VORTICITY...A TORNADO IS NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION EVEN THOUGH THE PROBABILITY IS LOW. A FAIRLY STRONG
FRONT BLASTS THROUGH CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEBRASKA BY MIDNIGHT...SO
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH RAPIDLY BY LATE
EVENING. SOME LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
BEYOND MIDNIGHT IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AND ELEVATED
ISENTROPIC LIFT CONTINUES UNTIL EARLY MORNING...SO WE WILL LEAVE THE
MENTION OF PRECIPITATION IN FOR CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEBRASKA AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 356 AM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

THE SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE POTENT NEGATIVELY TILTED
SHORTWAVE TROUGH...WILL BE CENTERED JUST WEST OF THE PIERRE/LAKE
OAHE REGION FRIDAY MORNING. A HIGH WIND EVENT IS POSSIBLE ACROSS
WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO NORTHERN NEBRASKA MID MORNING THROUGH LATE
AFTERNOON FRIDAY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW. SEVERAL FACTORS
POINT TO THIS...1) A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL EXIST ACROSS
NORTHWEST INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. 2) 500 METER WIND SPEEDS OF
35 TO 45 KTS SUPPORT NORTHWEST SUSTAINED SPEEDS AT THE SURFACE OF 35
MPH...POSSIBLE HIGHER. 3) 10/00Z NAM BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW A
THOROUGHLY MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER WITH POTENTIAL 40 MPH SUSTAINED
SPEEDS AND GUSTS TO AT LEAST 55 MPH. FEEL ENOUGH EVIDENCE EXISTS FOR
A HIGH WIND WATCH...AND WILL ISSUE FOR THE AREA AT GREATEST RISK FOR
SEEING HIGH WINDS. AT THIS TIME THIS WOULD BE NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA...INCLUDING THE COUNTIES OF CHERRY...KEYA
PAHA...BROWN...AND ROCK. WILL WAIT ON ISSUING A WIND ADVISORY FOR
AREAS SURROUNDING THE WATCH...AND LET THE DAY SHIFT RE-EXAMINE THE
SITUATION.

AS THE SURFACE LOW QUICKLY LIFTS NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA FRIDAY
NIGHT...WIND WILL DIMINISH. SKIES WILL BE CLEAR...AND WITH DRY AIR
IN PLACE...LOWS NEAR FREEZING ARE LIKELY IN THE PLATTE RIVER VALLEY
AND ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA.

THE AREA WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...AHEAD OF THE NEXT TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE
WESTERN CONUS. SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE A NICE DAY...WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE AND LIGHT WIND O PREVAIL. WIND WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE FROM
THE SOUTHEAST SUNDAY...AS THE NEXT SYSTEM BEGINS TO APPROACH THE
AREA.

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL BE ON THE INCREASE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY...AS STRONG MOIST WARM AIR ADVECTION DEVELOPS ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. THE LIKELY POPS LOOK GOOD...AND WILL EXPAND JUST A
BIT FOR MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO COME IN PIECES...WITH A
POSSIBLE SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF ENERGY REMAINING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES...AND EJECTING INTO THE CENTRAL OR NORTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY
OR WEDNESDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 133 PM CDT THU OCT 10 2013

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH TONIGHT. THE
KLBF AND KVTN TERMINALS LOOK TO BE IMPACTED BY STORMS AROUND MID
EVENING. STORMS THAT MOVE THROUGH WILL LIKELY HAVE REDUCED
VISIBILITIES DUE TO HEAVY RAINS...AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG WIND GUSTS. THE SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THESE STORMS
WILL MOVE OUT OF COLORADO THIS EVENING AND MOVE UP INTO SOUTH
DAKOTA FRIDAY. STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF NEBRASKA
AS THIS LOW MOVES NORTH OF THE AREA. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED OVER THE PANHANDLE AND INTO NORTHERN NEBRASKA THROUGH THE
DAY AND ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK IN SPEED BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z ON
FRIDAY...WHICH WILL DIMINISH INTO THE EVENING.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN WESTERN NEBRASKA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. SOUTH FLOW WILL BRING
MOISTURE INTO THE AREA FROM THE TEXAS GULF COAST. A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OUT OF EASTERN COLORADO WILL CROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA. AS IT
DOES...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. SEVERE WEATHER IS
MORE LIKELY ALONG AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 83 THIS EVENING WITH LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND THE PRIMARY THREAT. LATE TONIGHT...
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED EAST OF HIGHWAY 83 BUT THE RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LOW.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AS A
CANADIAN FRONT COMES THROUGH.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS EVENING IN WESTERN NEBRASKA.
