AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1235 PM CDT TUE MAY 13 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 356 AM CDT TUE MAY 13 2014

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS WITH FROST POTENTIAL
TONIGHT.

00Z UPPER AIR DATA ALONG WITH MORE RECENT SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWING THE PLAINS CONTINUING TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A
TROUGH AXIS...EXTENDING SOUTH OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA INTO THE CO/NM
REGION. THE BETTER LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH AND ALONG THE
MAIN SURFACE COLD FRONT IS OFF TO THE EAST OF THE CWA...AFFECTING
AREAS FROM THE GREAT LAKES DOWN INTO TX. THE CWA IS SET UP BETWEEN
THAT SFC COLD FRONT AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ROCKIES...BRINGING
CONTINUED NWRLY WINDS EARLY THIS MORNING. CLOUD COVER HAS BEEN
DIMINISHING FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT...AND AS EXPECTED...SOME
WRN LOCATIONS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE MID/UPPER 30S...WITH
CENTRAL/ERN AREAS CURRENTLY IN THE LOWER/MID 40S.

THROUGH THE REST OF THE SHORT PERIOD...THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE ITS WAY EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS...BUT WITH A
DRIER AIRMASS IN PLACE AND THE BETTER LIFT TO THE EAST...THE
FORECAST REMAINS A DRY ONE. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT
PRECIP TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IN THE AREA OF COOLER TEMPS
ALOFT/STEEPER LAPSE RATES...BUT THIS IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OFF TO
THE WEST OF THE CWA. BY THE TIME WED MORNING ROLLS AROUND...THE
MAIN TROUGH AXIS SHOULD BE CLOSER TO THE MISSOURI RIVER. AT THE
SFC...THERE ISNT ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH
THE CWA CONTINUING TO GENERALLY SIT IN BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO
THE WEST AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE EAST. THE ONE CHANGE IS THAT THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX WITH TIME...ESP LATER TODAY AND
TONIGHT...RESULTING IN SPEEDS TAPERING OFF.

AFTER TEMPS MONDAY TOPPING OUT IN THE 40S/50S...EXPECTING A BETTER
DAY TODAY...WITH LOWER/MID 60S IN THE FORECAST FOR HIGHS. AS WE
GET INTO TONIGHT...OVERALL IT IS A COOLER AIRMASS IN
PLACE...SHOULDNT SEE A NOTABLE PRESENCE OF CLOUD COVER...AND WINDS
ARE TAPERING OFF...AND MODELS/GUIDANCE CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THE
POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 30S. WINDS
ARENT EXPECTED TO GO COMPLETELY CALM AS THE CENTER OF THE SFC HIGH
REMAINS TO THE WEST...BUT STILL COULD BE LIGHT ENOUGH TO HELP WITH
SOME PATCHY FROST DEVELOPMENT...AND WILL KEEP THAT MENTION GOING.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 356 AM CDT TUE MAY 13 2014

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD LIES WITH
PRECIPITATION CHANCES.

DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS ON WEDNESDAY...MODELS REMAIN IN PRETTY
GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH GRADUALLY
SLIDING TOWARD THE MIDWEST...WITH A MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN/NWRLY
FLOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PLAINS AS AN AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE/RIDGE AXIS MOVE ONTO THE WEST COAST. AS WE GET INTO
MAINLY THE AFTERNOON HOURS...THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE SOME SHOWERS
COULD DEVELOP...AS THE TROUGH OF COLDEST AIR ALOFT/BETTER CHANCES
FOR STEEPER LAPSE RATES CONTINUES TO LINGER OVER THE AREA...AND
ANOTHER WEAKER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE QUICK ON THE HEELS OF THIS
LAST ONE SLIDES SE THROUGH PRIMARILY THE DAKOTAS.

THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK...THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ACROSS
THE CONUS REMAINS WELL AMPLIFIED...WITH MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
SHOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WRN
GREAT LAKES...KEEPING THE NWRLY FLOW IN PLACE ACROSS THE PLAINS.
AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND AND NEXT MONDAY...THE PATTERN STARTS
TO FLATTEN OUT...THE GREAT LAKES LOW IS GRADUALLY SLIDING EAST
WHILE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS WORKING ITS WAY TOWARD THE PAC NW
COAST...AND BY MONDAY MORNING HAS MOVED INLAND.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST FEW NIGHTS...LATEST MODEL RUNS
CONTINUE TO SHOW NO SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEMS AFFECTING THE AREA
THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD...BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN ITS A
COMPLETELY DRY FORECAST. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE POTENTIAL
FOR PERIODIC UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE
NWRLY FLOW...ALONG WITH INCREASED LIFT AS JET STREAKS PASS. THIS
CONTINUES TO BRING THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION TO THE CWA...AND
COULDNT JUSTIFY MAKING ANY NOTABLE CHANGES TO THE FORECAST...WHICH
INCLUDED POPS AT SOME POINT BASICALLY EVERY DAY. HOWEVER...WANT TO
STATE THAT CONFIDENCE IS LOW...AS PINNING DOWN SPECIFIC
TIMING/LOCATION DETAILS FOR THESE WEAKER QUICK MOVING DISTURBANCES
CAN BE DIFFICULT...ESP FURTHER OUT IN TIME...SO EXPECT THERE TO BE
ADJUSTMENTS AS WE GET CLOSER TO THOSE PERIODS. AT THIS
TIME...MODELS ALSO CONTINUE TO SHOW INSTABILITY BEING LOW ACROSS
THE AREA...AND OUTSIDE OF THE DAYTIME HOURS MONDAY KEPT THUNDER
MENTION OUT OF THE FORECAST.

AT THE SURFACE...CURRENTLY NOT SEEING ANY PERIODS THROUGH THE LONG
TERM THAT ARE OVERLY WINDY. WED THROUGH FRIDAY...THE PATTERN IS
MAINLY DRIVEN BY AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL BE BUILDING
SOUTH OUT OF CANADA...AND WHILE NOT LOOKING TO BE DIRECTLY
CENTERED OVER THE CWA...WILL PLAY ENOUGH OF A ROLE TO KEEP WINDS
GENERALLY NRLY WED/THUR WITH SPEEDS IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH
RANGE...AND MORE VARIABLE IN DIRECTION FRIDAY. SAT THROUGH
MONDAY...THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE STARTS SLIDING OFF TO THE
EAST...WHILE LOWER PRESSURE BECOMES A BIT BETTER ORGANIZED OVER
THE ROCKIES. THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE SERLY WINDS ACROSS THE
CWA...WITH SUN/MON BEING A BIT MORE BREEZY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES GO...NOT EXPECTING TO SEE NOTABLE SWINGS
EITHER WAY...BUT SHOULD A WARMING TREND...ESP THIS WEEKEND AND
INTO MONDAY. HIGHS WED/THUR/FRI REMAIN GENERALLY IN THE
LOWER/MID 60S...WITH TEMPS WARMING UP BY MONDAY INTO THE LOWER 70S
TO LOWER 80S.
