AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
604 AM CDT WED MAR 12 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 600 AM CDT WED MAR 12 2014

ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THE SMATTERING OF
RADAR ECHOES WORKING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN-MOST COLUMNS OF
OUR NEBRASKA COUNTIES ARE REACHING THE GROUND...WILL GO AHEAD AND
EXPAND THE AREAL COVERAGE OF SLIGHT CHANCE OF FLURRIES FARTHER
SOUTHWARD TO COVER THIS POSSIBILITY JUST IN CASE...AND ALSO BEEF
UP SKY COVER IN THIS AREA FOR A SHORT TIME. UNLESS TRENDS
CHANGE...WOULD BE SURPRISED TO SEE THIS FLURRY POSSIBILITY LAST
BEYOND 13Z/8AM.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 520 AM CDT WED MAR 12 2014

UNLESS A ROGUE FLURRY BRUSHES PARTS OF MAINLY THE EASTERN 1/3 OF
THE NEB CWA THIS MORNING...CONFIDENCE REMAINS PRETTY HIGH IN A
PRECIP-FREE 24 HOURS AS TEMPS REBOUND BACK ABOVE AVERAGE.
SPEAKING OF TEMPS...HIGHS TODAY WERE ACTUALLY THE BIGGEST CHANGE
FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST...AS THEY WERE CRANKED UP A SOLID 3-6
DEGREES. ONE NEGATIVE ASPECT OF THESE WARMER HIGHS AND ALSO LOWER
DEWPOINTS IS THAT FIRE DANGER IS NOW EXPECTED TO REACH NEAR-
CRITICAL LEVELS THIS AFTERNOON...AND THIS IS COVERED IN GREATER
DETAIL IN A SEPARATE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW.

STARTING WITH THE HERE AND NOW...WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
SHORT TERM MODEL DATA REVEALS FAIRLY SHARP NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY
MID-UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS...ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SOUTHEAST SIDE OF AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE AXIS ALIGNED FROM THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST INTO SOUTHWEST CANADA. MEANWHILE...THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH
THAT BROUGHT A SMATTERING OF LIGHT RAIN AND/OR MAINLY NON-
MEASURABLE SNOW TO VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CWA TUESDAY CONTINUES
DEPARTING OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST...WITH ITS AXIS STRETCHED FROM
LAKE SUPERIOR SOUTHWARD INTO EASTERN KS/WESTERN MO...AND ALL
MEASURABLE PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH IT NOW CENTERED OVER CENTRAL MO
AND IL. MEANWHILE JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE NORTHWEST CONUS
RIDGE...A SOUTHERN STREAM LOW IS ACTUALLY RETROGRADING A BIT AND IS
CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN NV. TURNING TO THE SURFACE...08Z OBJECTIVE
ANALYSIS CONFIRMS THAT HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS FROM THE WEST-NORTHWEST...IN THE WAKE OF THE
DEPARTING SURFACE LOW THAT IS NOW WELL INTO THE SOUTHERN IN AREA.
WITH THE DECREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT...SUSTAINED NORTHWEST
BREEZES ARE NOW ONLY AVERAGING AROUND 10 MPH ACROSS MOST OF THE
CWA. 11-3.9 MICRON SATELLITE IMAGERY CONFIRMS THAT SKIES OVER MUCH
OF THE CWA ARE LARGELY CLEAR...ALTHOUGH A TRANSIENT BATCH OF MID
LEVEL CLOUDS HAS RECENTLY STARTED WORKING SOUTHWARD MAINLY INTO
EASTERN PORTIONS OF NEB ZONES. DESPITE THE LIGHT BUT FAIRLY
STEADY BREEZES...THE PREDOMINANTLY CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT HAVE
ALLOWED TEMPS TO DROP A TOUCH MORE THAN EARLIER EXPECTED...AND IT
APPEARS MOST OF THE CWA WILL REALIZE LOWS IN THE 24-29
RANGE...WITH THE TYPICAL EXCEPTIONS OF COLDER SPOTS SUCH AS ORD
WHICH EARLIER PLUNGED TO AROUND 20.

LOOKING AHEAD NOW THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING AND DAYTIME
HOURS...THE BIG PICTURE ALOFT INVOLVES THE CONTINUED DOMINANT
INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHWEST CONUS RIDGE...AS THE LOCAL AREA REMAINS
FAR ENOUGH WEST TO LARGELY MISS THE INFLUENCE OF REINFORCING
SHORTWAVE TROUGHING DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS MAINLY MN/EASTERN
IA. MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY
AS THE DAY GOES ON...ALLOWING A SLOWLY-RELAXING PRESSURE GRADIENT
BUT A CONTINUATION OF PREVAILING WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS THAT WILL
AGAIN PICK UP IN INTENSITY...BUT CERTAINLY NOT TO THE MAGNITUDE OF
YESTERDAY. GETTING INTO THE FINER DETAILS AND STARTING WITH THE
FIRST FEW HOURS...VERY-SHORT TERM MODELS SUCH AS THE HRRR...AND
ALSO RADAR DATA SUGGESTS THAT SOME VERY ISOLATED/ROGUE FLURRIES
COULD BE INFILTRATING MAINLY THE NORTHEASTERN CWA...AND HAVE
SLIPPED A SHORT-FUSED ISOLATED FLURRY MENTION INTO THIS AREA. AS
FOR SKY COVER TODAY...MOSTLY SUNNY APPEARS TO BE THE PREVAILING
THEME...AS A POTENTIALLY DECENT BATCH OF LOWER STRATUS LOOKS TO
SLIDE JUST EAST OF THE CWA DOWN ACROSS FAR EASTERN NEB/WESTERN
IA...WHILE ANY APPRECIABLE COVERAGE OF MID CLOUDS REMAINS NORTH OF
THE AREA. MEANWHILE...DIURNAL MIXING LOOKS RATHER DEEP TODAY...UP
INTO THE 800-750 MB RANGE PER NAM/RAP FORECAST SOUNDINGS. AS A
RESULT...DESPITE THE MODEST PRESSURE GRADIENT...BREEZES WILL PICK
UP FROM MID-MORNING THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS
GENERALLY 15-23 MPH AND GUSTS GENERALLY UP INTO THE 25-30 MPH
RANGE...BUT SLOWLY DECREASING THROUGH MID-LATE AFTERNOON. GIVEN
THE EXPECTATION OF MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...DEEP MIXING AND THE
FAVORABLE DOWNSLOPE WIND COMPONENT...AND MODEST LOW LEVEL WARM AIR
ADVECTION SUCH AS EVIDENT AT 850 MILLIBARS...RAISED HIGH TEMPS
SEVERAL DEGREES AND ALSO LOWERED DEWPOINTS AT LEAST A FEW DEGREES
FROM PREVIOUS. THE NET RESULT IS HIGHS NOW AIMED INTO THE 54-57
RANGE MOST AREAS...AND WITH THE 07Z RAP13 SUGGESTING THAT A FEW
PLACES COULD EVEN FLIRT WITH 60.

TURNING TO THIS EVENING/TONIGHT POST-00Z/7PM...THE MID/UPPER AIR
PICTURE REMAINS PRETTY QUIET...AS LOW-AMPLITUDE RIDGING AND
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE WELL-DOWNSTREAM FROM A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRAVERSING FAR SOUTHWEST CANADA/THE NORTHWEST
CONUS. AT THE SURFACE...ONCE AFTERNOON BREEZES SETTLE DOWN...A
FAIRLY CONSISTENT...GENERALLY WESTERLY 5-10 MPH WIND WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT IN A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT TO
THE NORTH OF A RIDGE AXIS CENTERED OVER TX AND A FAIRLY STRONG LOW
CENTERED SEVERAL HUNDREDS MILES NORTH INTO CANADA. CLOUD-
WISE...AGAIN EXPECTING CLEAR/MOSTLY CLEAR...ALTHOUGH RIGHT AWAY
EARLY IN THE EVENING THE NORTHEAST CWA COULD MAYBE CATCH A
GLANCING BLOW OF MID LEVEL CLOUDS THAT SHOULD PRIMARILY TARGET FAR
NORTHEAST NEB INTO IA. GIVEN A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR CLOUD/WIND SETUP
TO THE ONGOING NIGHT...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME SPOTS DIP
A BIT COLDER THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST INDICATES. HOWEVER...GIVEN
THAT THE EVENING WILL START OUT MILDER THAN TONIGHT DID...MADE VERY
LITTLE CHANGE TO PREVIOUS LOWS...AIMING FOR A GENERAL RANGE OF
26-30 DEGREES.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 520 AM CDT WED MAR 12 2014

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FIRE WEATHER ISSUES FOR THURSDAY.

WE START OUT THE EXTENDED FORECAST WITHIN SPLIT FLOW. WITH JETS WELL
NORTH AND SOUTH...UPPER LEVEL WIND WILL BE WEAK. PATTERN TO THE WEST
WILL BE COMPLEX AS A CUTOFF LOW IN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES
DISRUPTS A WESTERN AMPLIFIED RIDGE. AT THE SURFACE...THURSDAY COULD
BE A REAL CONCERN FOR FIRE WEATHER ISSUES WITH LOW HUMIDITY AND
BREEZY SOUTHWEST WIND. THE WIND WILL BE THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR
HERE...AS WIND AT THE MIXING HEIGHT MAY NOT QUITE BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO GIVE STRONG ENOUGH GUSTS TO PUSH US OVER THE TOP OF HAVING FULL
BLOWN CRITICAL FIRE DANGER.

NUMERICAL MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT THE CUTOFF LOW OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES WILL BECOME AN OPEN WAVE...HEADING TOWARD
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ON FRIDAY. MEANWHILE A WAVE OVER THE NORTHERN
PLAINS WILL SWING INTO THE GREAT LAKES. SPLIT FLOW WILL ENSURE THAT
WE STAY DRY THROUGH SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET
WILL BE ENTERING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...WE
COULD BE NEAR THE LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OF THIS JET AS IT CURVES
SOUTH...HELPING TO GIVE US A SHOT AT SOME PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY
IN OUR SOUTHEAST WHERE THERE IS MORE MOISTURE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL
BE WARM ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ALL RAIN IF WE WERE TO GET PRECIPITATION.

NUMERICAL MODELS ARE OUT OF PHASE BY MONDAY. CONFIDENCE IS RATHER
LOW THAT FAR OUT...BUT KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN MONDAY NIGHT IN
OUR NORTHEAST...CLOSER TO WHERE THE BEST LIFT IS INDICATED BY
ENSEMBLES...HOWEVER...TRENDS ARE COMING IN LATER FOR TIMING...AND
THIS CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION MAY HAVE TO BE PUSHED LATER IN FUTURE
FORECASTS.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...I GENERALLY KEPT NEAR THE TEMPERATURES FROM
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR THURSDAY...EXCEPT RAISING THEM A BIT IN
OUR SOUTHWEST DUE TO ANTICIPATED LOWER DEWPOINTS. FOR FRIDAY...I
RAISED TEMPERATURES CONSIDERABLY GIVEN THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES
PREDICTED. FOR DEWPOINTS...I ALSO WENT CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN MODEL
OUTPUT FOR BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...GIVEN STATICALLY POOR
PERFORMANCE OF MODELS AS OF LATE. THIS GIVES US A CONSIDERABLY LOWER
RELATIVE HUMIDITY THAN PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z KGRI TAF THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 600 AM CDT WED MAR 12 2014

CONFIDENCE IS RATHER HIGH IN VFR CEILING/VISIBILITY THROUGH THE
NEXT 24 HOURS...WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND ONLY A LIMITED
COVERAGE OF PASSING MID LEVEL CLOUDS...AND NEARLY ZERO RISK OF
PRECIPITATION. SURFACE WINDS WILL PREVAIL FROM A WEST TO NORTHWEST
DIRECTION...WITH SPEEDS BOTH EARLY THIS MORNING AND AGAIN TONIGHT
ONLY AVERAGING AROUND 10KT OR LESS. HOWEVER...AN EXCEPTION TO
THESE LIGHT WINDS WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE
DAY ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 15Z-23Z. ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY NOT AS WINDY
AS YESTERDAY WAS...SUSTAINED WINDS DURING THIS TIME WILL AVERAGE
15-20KT WITH GUST POTENTIAL TO AROUND 25KT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 500 AM CDT WED MAR 12 2014

THESE NEXT FEW DAYS CERTAINLY BARE WATCHING FOR AT LEAST A FEW
HOURS OF NEAR-CRITICAL AFTERNOON FIRE DANGER...WITH CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS LOCALLY DEFINED AS THE OVERLAP OF SUSTAINED
WINDS/GUSTS OF 20/25 MPH AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY (RH) OF 20 PERCENT OR
LOWER FOR 3+ HOURS.

STARTING WITH TODAY...WHAT EARLIER APPEARED TO BE A RELATIVELY
"SAFE" DAY HAS NOW TRENDED WELL INTO NEAR-CRITICAL TERRITORY NOW
THAT TEMPERATURES WERE RAISED/DEWPOINTS LOWERED SEVERAL DEGREES.
THE LATEST FORECAST NOW BRINGS RH VALUES WELL INTO THE 20-25
PERCENT RANGE ESPECIALLY ACROSS KS ZONES AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 281
IN NEBRASKA...AND SOME MODELS SUCH AS THE RAP13 SUGGEST THAT RH
VALUES MAY FALL ABOUT 5 PERCENT FARTHER YET. FORTUNATELY...EVEN IF
RH'S DO END UP LOWER THAN ADVERTISED AND INTO CRITICAL RANGE...IT
APPEARS THAT WIND SPEEDS WILL GENERALLY BE ON A VERY SLOW DECLINE
AS THE AFTERNOON WEARS ON...AND DURING THE 2-3 HOUR PERIOD OF
LOWEST RH VALUES THE CORRESPONDING SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS ARE ONLY
EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 15-20 MPH AND GUSTS 20-25 MPH...WHICH IS
ROUGHLY 5 MPH SHORT OF SOLID FIRE WEATHER HEADLINE CRITERIA. ALL
OF THESE FACTORS BEING CONSIDERED...ALTHOUGH THE LATEST FORECAST
DOES NOT SUPPORT A FORMAL FIRE HEADLINE ISSUANCE...IT NOW
CERTAINLY JUSTIFIES A HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK OF NEAR-CRITICAL
FIRE DANGER...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE RECENT HISTORY OF GRASS FIRES
WITHIN PARTS OF THE AREA.

TURNING TO THURSDAY...WITH A SURFACE TROUGH JUST TO THE
WEST...SOUTHWEST WIND WILL INCREASE AS STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES DEVELOP. THE SOUTHWEST WIND WILL HELP DRY THE AIR OUT ALONG
WITH MIXING UP TO POTENTIALLY AROUND 800 MB. WIND AT THE MIXING
HEIGHT COULD BE JUST ENOUGH TO PUT US INTO NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE
DANGER...ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER WEST AND SOUTHWEST ONE IS.
FORECAST RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS AS LOW AS 10 PERCENT IN OUR FAR
SOUTHWEST CORNER.
