323 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 319 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

THE PATTERN ALOFT FEATURED NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
WITH A HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED IN THE PACIFIC NW AND A RIDGE AXIS OVER
THE ROCKIES.  TO THE EAST LOW PRESSURE WAS CENTERED IN THE HUDSON
BAY/ONTARIO AREA.  A 130KT H3 JET WAS DIVING SOUTH FM MANITOBA THRU
THE UPPER MIDWEST AND WILL NOSE ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER.  THIS
SYSTEM WILL DRIVE A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT ACROSS EASTERN NEB/KS THIS
MORNING.  AN AREA OF LOW CLOUDS/STRATUS WILL ADVECT INTO OUR REGION
BEHIND THE FRONT AND IN DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET
STREAK/SHEARED ENERGY WITH WAVE AND MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS...CANNOT
RULE OUT THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT HIT OR MISS PCPN AND WILL CARRY A
SPRINKLE CHANCE THROUGH THE MORNING AS LLVL TEMPERATURES REMAIN
QUITE MILD IN THE 40S.

AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS AS
IT BUILDS SOUTHEAST TOWARDS IOWA TODAY...WHILE TO THE WEST...AN
UPSTREAM SURFACE TROUGH/WARM FRONT MIGRATES EASTWARD FROM THE HIGH
PLAINS.  THIS WILL LEAD TO A RATHER SHARP TEMPERATURE GRADIENT
ACROSS OUR REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH COOLER AIR/CLOUDS LINGERING
LONGER IN THE EAST...WHILE THE WARMER AIRMASS WORKS INTO OUR WESTERN
ZONES.  WITH THE WARM START TO THE DAY...WILL RANGE HIGHS FROM THE
LOW 40S IN OUR EASTERN ZONES THE THE MID/UPPER 50S IN THE WEST.

THE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO WORK EAST OVERNIGHT AND IN THE WARMER
AIRMASS WITH STEADY WINDS...HAVE HELD TEMPS IN THE LOW/MID 30S FOR

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE WINDY CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY AND
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

THE MAIN PATTERN WILL REMAIN NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE PERIOD.
THERE WILL BE A FEW WAVES THAT MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. EXPECT DRY
CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME.

A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL BE WARM...BUT BEHIND THE
FRONT NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASE AND TEMPERATURES COULD START TO FALL
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT WINDS TO BE 35 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS
MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. PRESSURE
RISES ARE SIGNIFICANT BEHIND THE FRONT WITH MIXING TO ABOVE 800MB.
THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO HAVE THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80 AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 183. HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A HIGH
WIND WATCH FROM LATE MORNING WHEN WINDS START TO INCREASE THROUGH
MIDNIGHT. THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WILL STILL HAVE BREEZY
CONDITIONS. IN THE FAR NORTH THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR HIGH
TEMPERATURES TO BE REACHED A LITTLE EARLIER IN THE DAY AND MAYBE
LOSE A FEW DEGREES BY EVENING.

LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT A COLD SURFACE HIGH PUSHES
INTO THE REGION. THE CENTER OF THE HIGH SHOULD REMAIN TO THE EAST OF
THE FORECAST AREA...BUT THE COLD AIR WILL STILL INFILTRATE THE
FORECAST AREA AND EXPECT LOWS MAINLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS WITH HIGHS
ONLY IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

BY WEDNESDAY THERE IS SOME WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE ANOTHER COLD
FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL WAVE THAT WILL AFFECT THE AREA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL DURING THE DAY. THE
UPPER LEVEL WAVE THAT MOVES THROUGH WILL BRING SOME CLOUDS AND
MODELS HAVE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION JUST TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF
THE FORECAST AREA. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY AT THIS TIME...BUT
WILL HAVE TO SEE IF PRECIPITATION WILL WORK ITS WAY INTO THE AREA.
THERE WILL BE A GRADUAL WARMING TREND LATE IN THE WEEK. THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES AROUND OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL.
