AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1212 AM CST THU JAN 16 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 351 PM CST WED JAN 15 2014

THE BIGGEST CONCERN WILL BE WIND AND FIRE WEATHER FACTORS ON
THURSDAY.

THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REMAINS PERSISTENT WITH AN AMPLIFIED
LONGWAVE RIDGE OFF THE WEST COAST AND AN AMPLIFIED LONGWAVE TROUGH
OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. A POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS
ENTERING THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND HEADING SOUTHEAST. THIS HAS BEEN
LONG ADVERTISED AND IS CONSISTENTLY FORECAST BETWEEN MODEL
SOLUTIONS. NOT A LOT OF SURPRISES HERE AS THE FORECAST FOR THE PAST
COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THIS SHORT TERM PERIOD HAS BEEN LARGELY ON TRACK
WITH WEATHER BEHIND THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WITH THIS NEXT WAVE
ARRIVING.  ONLY MINOR TWEAKS AND ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE MOST PART.
BACKED OFF SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS SLIGHTLY...BUT UPPED THE WIND GUSTS
QUITE A BIT AS THE TYPICALLY MOST ACCURATE CONSRAW INDICATES.
JUDGING BY MODEL SOUNDING THIS IS WARRANTED...AND HAVE GONE WELL
ABOVE EARLIER FORECASTS FOR GUSTS FROM TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
EVENING. MUCH OF OUR STRONG WIND WILL BE DERIVED FROM MOMENTUM
TRANSFER TO BEGIN WITH FOR THURSDAY...BUT BY LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...OUR BEST SURFACE PRESSURE RISES WILL HELP ELEVATE WIND
SPEEDS WELL INTO THE EVENING. SOUNDINGS SUGGESTS A BIT MORE SKY
COVER...ESPECIALLY NORTHEAST...WHICH MAY CUT A BIT INTO WIND
SPEEDS...BUT NOT MUCH...AS ANY VIRGA THAT MAY DEVELOP WILL HELP
BRING DOWN MUCH STRONGER WIND TO THE SURFACE. ALSO STUCK IN SOME
SLIGHT CHANCES OF SPRINKLES/FLURRIES IN OUR NORTHEAST FOR THURSDAY
LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WITH SOMEWHAT BETTER DYNAMICS AND
MOISTURE THERE. KNOWING THE CONSISTENCY OF PREDICTED STRONG WINDS
AND NOW EVEN STRONGER WIND GUSTS...I FELT CONFIDENT IN A HIGH WIND
WARNING FOR OUR NEBRASKA COUNTIES AND KEPT THE WATCH GOING FOR OUR
KANSAS COUNTIES. I LOWERED HIGH TEMPERATURES A TAD FOR THURSDAY
WITH THE INCREASE OF SKY COVER ANTICIPATED. FIRE WEATHER ELEMENTS
LOOK LARGELY SIMILAR AND KEPT THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH GOING AND
WILL LEAVE THIS TO THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION ON
WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 351 PM CST WED JAN 15 2014

WINTER CONTINUES ITS ABSENCE WITH NO SUBSTANTIVE PRECIP AND TEMPS
AVERAGING AT OR ABOVE NORMAL THRU NEXT WED...WITH 1 DAY OF MUCH
ABOVE NORMAL NEAR-RECORD WARMTH SUNDAY.

NO CHANGE IN THE LONGWAVE PATTERN THRU WED 1/22. THE +PNA HAS THE
STRONGEST SIGNAL OF THE TELECONNECTION INDICES WHICH MEANS A RIDGE
OVER WRN N AMERICA AND THE TROF IN THE E. THE PNA PATTERN IS FCST TO
TURN NEGATIVE ON SUN 1/26 BY THE GFS BIAS CORRECTED ENSEMBLES. WE
HAVE BEEN SEEING THE SIGNS IN THE N AMERICAN AND EC ENSEMBLE MEANS
AS WELL...HINTING THAT THE LONGWAVE PATTERN WILL RETROGRADE. THE
RIDGE HAS BEEN LOCKED ALONG THE W COAST OF N AMERICA SINCE MID DEC.
IF IT DOES HEAD BACK INTO THE ERN PACIFIC...THIS WOULD MEAN A
TEMPORARY RETURN TO WINTER ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN THE CHANCE FOR
MEANINGFUL PRECIP. MOST OF THE FCST AREA HAS SEEN LESS THAN 50% OF
NORMAL PRECIP.

ALOFT: NO CHANGE IN NW FLOW WHICH WILL CONTINUE DELIVER SHORTWAVE
TROFS 12AM-12PM SAT AND 7PM MON-7AM TUE...ALTHOUGH THEY WILL BE
GLANCING BLOWS WITH THE STRONGEST FORCING DROPPING THRU THE UPPER-
MID MS VALLEY.

MODELS: OVERALL AGREEMENT IS VERY GOOD THRU SUN AMONGST GFS/EC/
UKMET/GEM. HOWEVER...DIFFERENCES IN THE E PACIFIC BEGIN TO SHOW UP
SAT AFTERNOON. SAT-MON THE GEM IS MORE AMPLIFIED ALONG THE W COAST
AND IT HAS SUPPORT FROM ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN. MON SPREAD INCREASES
SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE E PAC IN HOW MODELS CHOOSE TO LOWER HEIGHTS
AND ATTEMPT TO ADVANCE TROFS THRU THE WRN RIDGE.

SURFACE: THE PARADE OF CLIPPERS WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FCST AREA
ALTERNATING ON THE WARM AND COLD SIDES OF THE POLAR FRONT. THE FIRST
COMBINATION OF WARM FRONT-COLD FRONT PASSAGES WILL OCCUR FRI INTO
FRI NIGHT. THE NEXT SAT NIGHT INTO SUN. A REINFORCING COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THRU MON NIGHT. HIGH PRES THEN BUILDS IN TUE AND AGAIN WED.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS: WE MAY NOT BE DONE WITH THE WIND JUST YET. WIND
ADVISORY MATERIAL IS NOW OUTLOOKED FOR SAT...N AND E OF THE
TRI-CITIES. THIS IS SUSTAINED WINDS 30+ AND/OR G45+ MPH.

THE DAILY DETAILS...

THU NIGHT: STRATOCU WILL DISSIPATE IN THE EVENING. HIGH WINDS
SUBSIDE AND COLD AIR ADVECTION /CAA/ WILL END AS HIGH PRES MOVES
OVERHEAD.

FRI: QUITE A BIT OF MULTI-LAYERED MID-LEVEL CLOUDS IN WARM AIR
ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT. TEMPS WERE RAISED 3-5F...HIGHEST
W OF HWY 183. LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO TODAY.

SAT: WINDY AND WARMER. ANOTHER 40-50 KT LOW-LEVEL WIND CORE ROTATES
THRU 3AM-3PM IN THE SW QUADRANT OF THE NEXT CLIPPER. A 35 MB PRES
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED AT 18Z BETWEEN THE LOW OVER IL AND THE HIGH
OVER UT/ID.

THE BEST CHANCE OF ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL BE N AND E OF THE
TRI-CITIES. THIS EVENT WILL BE DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY MIXING AND IT
COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS 3 AM AS CAA BEGINS. THE NAM AND GFS BUFKIT
SUGGEST DOWNWARD TRANSFER OF THE HIGHEST WINDS WILL BE 9AM-12PM.

SUN: BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WARM. A GREAT DAY TO BE OUTSIDE WITH LIGHT
WINDS. FCST HIGHS ARE CURRENTLY WITHIN 1-3F OF TYING THE RECORDS...

GRI 62 IN 1997
HSI 62 IN 1921

BELIEVE OUR FCST IS CONSERVATIVE. USED BIAS CORRECTED MEX MOS WHICH
IS AMONG THE WARMEST AVAILABLE GUIDANCE.

MODELS ARE IN UNISON ON +9 TO +10C AT 850 MB. SEE NO REASON WHY THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WONT MIX TO AT LEAST THAT LEVEL. AM NOT BUYING THE
GFS/EC SOUNDINGS WITH THEIR SUPPRESSED BL. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
LOW-LEVEL WARM NOSE SUGGESTS 60-70F IS ON THE TABLE.

THIS FORECASTERS SUBJECTIVE PROBABILITY OF TYING OR BREAKING THE
RECORDS IS 60%.

MON: COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. NOT AS WARM BUT STILL APPRECIABLY WARMER
THAN NORMAL. BASED ON THE APPROACHING TROF AND EC/GFS VERTICAL CROSS
SECTIONS...WE ARE PROBABLY WAY TOO LOW ON CLOUDS. SHOULD BE FAIRLY
SUNNY IN THE MORNING...THEN TURNING PARTLY SUNNY AFTER MIDDAY.
UNCERTAINTY ON WINDS. THE 12Z EC SUGGESTS THE AFTERNOON COULD BE
BREEZY WITH G30-40 MPH.

TUE-WED: FAIR AND DRY WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z KGRI TAF THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1212 AM CST THU JAN 16 2014

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CERTAINLY BECOME THE MAIN ISSUE DURING
THE NEXT 24 HOURS...WITH PARTICULARLY STRONG SPEEDS SUSTAINED
AROUND 36KT AND GUST POTENTIAL TO AROUND 50KT CENTERED DURING THE
DAYTIME HOURS BETWEEN 16-23Z. PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF THESE
STRONGEST WINDS...BREEZES EARLY MORNING WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE
WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OVER 20KT/GUSTS TO AROUND 30KT BY SUNRISE.
ALSO PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF STRONGEST WINDS AT THE SURFACE...WILL
CONTINUE A MENTION OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THROUGH THE NEXT 15
HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR WINDS ABOVE THE SURFACE ACCELERATING TO OVER
50KT FROM THE NORTHWEST...THUS CREATING AT LEAST 30-35KT OF WIND
VECTOR MAGNITUDE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SURFACE AND THIS LEVEL.
LOOKING BEYOND THE PEAK IN AFTERNOON WIND SPEEDS...A SLOW DECREASE
IN WINDS WILL COMMENCE THURSDAY EVENING...ALTHOUGH GUST POTENTIAL
TO AT LEAST 30-35KT WILL PERSIST EVEN THROUGH THE LAST FEW HOURS
OF THE PERIOD. TURNING TO OTHER AVIATION ELEMENTS...CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH IN VFR VISIBILITY THROUGH THE PERIOD...AND IS FAIRLY HIGH IN
VFR CEILING. THAT BEING SAID...THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT A LOW-
END VFR CEILING COULD BECOME ESTABLISHED FOR ANYWHERE FROM A FEW
TO SEVERAL HOURS MAINLY DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE PERIOD...AND
THIS WILL NEED MONITORED IN CASE IT TRIES TO SNEAK DOWN INTO HIGH-
END MVFR CATEGORY. AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES...THERE IS A SLIM
CHANCE FOR A BRIEF FLURRY/SNOW SHOWER THURSDAY EVENING...BUT
CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE IS FAR TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT
THIS TIME.
