AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
1235 PM CDT THU SEP 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 357 AM CDT THU SEP 11 2014

AT H5 BROAD TROUGH ORIENTED EAST TO WEST OVER CENTRAL CANADA INTO
THE NORTHERN TIER OF STATES. UPPER RIDGE HOLDING OVER THE SOUTHERN
CONUS. MAIN ENERGY IN TROUGH OVER MONTANA THIS MORNING WILL BE
ROTATING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT. AT THE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER CALGARY EARLY THIS MORNING. STATIONARY
BOUNDARY BACKED UP ALONG THE FRONT RANGE OF THE ROCKIES FROM WESTERN
CANADA INTO THE SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO...BEFORE BENDING EAST INTO
CENTRAL TEXAS AND THEN NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1209 PM CDT THU SEP 11 2014

EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES
DROPPED A COUPLE OF DEGREES FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS AS LITTLE CHANGE
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE FORECAST ON TRACK.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 957 AM CDT THU SEP 11 2014

AT 15Z A 1038 MB SURFACE HIGH CENTERED OF THE MONTANA WAS RIDGING
SOUTH ON THE WESTERN PLAINS. A STEADY UPSLOPE STREAM OF MOISTURE
ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA WILL LIMIT TEMPERATURES INTO THE 40S
TODAY. SHORT RANGE MODELS SHOW THE POSSIBLE MIX CONTINUING INTO
THE AFTERNOON FOR THE FAR NORTHWEST IN NORTHERN SHERIDAN AND THE
NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF WESTERN CHERRY COUNTIES. FORECAST UPDATED TO
INCLUDE PATCHY DRIZZLE AND FOG FOR THE AREA UNTIL NOON CDT AS WELL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 357 AM CDT THU SEP 11 2014

MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT IN THE NEAR TERM AND WILL USE A BLEND.
SOME MINOR TIMING ISSUES WITH WAVE MOVING THROUGH. TEMPERATURES
HOLDING IN THE 40S OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA THIS MORNING WITH AREAS
OF DRIZZLE AND LIGHT RAIN. SOME SCATTERED THUNDER MOVING OUT OF
THE SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND WILL PROBABLY NEED A PRE
FIRST PERIOD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. STORMS NOT MAKING MUCH EASTERLY
PROGRESS AS THEY MOVE OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN. SNOW BEING REPORTED
OVER MUCH OF NORTHEAST WYOMING WITH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND
FREEZING. UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY AND
WITH MAINLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT ENERGY FROM THE TROUGH WILL MOVE
QUICKLY EAST THROUGH THE DAY KEEPING A MIX OF DRIZZLE AND
RAIN SHOWERS LOW CLOUDS AND TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING TO GET INTO THE
UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50 SOUTH. UPSLOPE FLOW WILL KEEP MINOR LIFT
THROUGH THE DAY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. AS THE BETTER WAVE MOVES
ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT BETTER
FORCING WILL BE SEEN OVER SOUTHERN SANDHILLS INTO SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. COOLER AIR WILL FILTER INTO NORTHWEST NEBRASKA THROUGH
THE NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE LOW 30S OVER SHERIDAN
COUNTY AND THE MID 30S OVER THE WESTERN NEBRASKA SANDHILLS NORTH
OF INTERSTATE 80. 850MB TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TO -1C OVER THE
NORTHWEST AND WITH UPSLOPE AND ONGOING PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO
SEE A MIX LATE EVENING WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 30S. HAVE SOME
ACCUMULATIONS GOING OVER THE FAVORED AREA OF THE PINE RIDGE IN
NORTHERN SHERIDAN COUNTY. HAVE RETAINED PATCHY FROST WITH COLDER
TEMPERATURES. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE CLOUD COVER. MODELS HAVE SKIES
CLEARING OVER NORTHERN SHERIDAN AND CHERRY COUNTIES AROUND SUNRISE
WHICH WOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURE TO FALL QUICKLY. HAVE LEFT
HIGHLIGHTS OUT FOR NOW WITH UNCERTAINTY. COLDEST 850MB
TEMPERATURES AT 12Z NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM ONEILL TO
OGALLALA. SURFACE HIGH WILL BE CENTERED OVER CHADRON.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 357 AM CDT THU SEP 11 2014

DECENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DETERMINISTIC MODELS OUT THROUGH THE
LONG RANGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST IN TERMS OF THE LARGE SCALE
PATTERN. ALL ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
EXITING THE AREA ON FRIDAY...THEN WITH NORTHWEST FLOW KEEPING A
COOLER INFLUENCE ON TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH
RIDGING BUILDING IN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS IN 290-300K LAYERS SHOWS GOOD DOWNWARD MOTION
STARTING FRIDAY MORNING AFTER 12Z AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY.
ALSO OF NOTE IS LARGE-SCALE SUBSIDENCE THROUGH THE 1000-500MB
LAYER THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY WITH DRY AIR THROUGH THAT SAME LAYER
OVERTAKING THE REGION. THIS WOULD SUGGEST THE PRECIPITATION WILL
MOVE OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA FAIRLY QUICKLY DURING THE DAY...WITH
CLEAR SKIES FOLLOWING. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE A LITTLE SLOWER WITH
ENDING THE PRECIPITATION SO TO ACCOUNT FOR THE POTENTIAL IN A
SLOWER PROGRESSION WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST FOR
THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MID MORNING...WITH
THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN AREAS KEEPING SLIGHT CHANCES FOR RAIN THROUGH
18Z. AFTER INTERROGATING FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR FRIDAY
MORNING...THERE IS STILL A POTENTIAL FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIX GENERALLY WEST
OF A LINE FROM HAYES CENTER THROUGH NORTH PLATTE TO BREWSTER.
SOUNDINGS WOULD SUGGEST THAT PRECIPITATION TYPE SHOULD QUICKLY
CHANGE BACK OVER TO RAIN COMPLETELY SHORTLY AFTER 12Z...BUT WANTED
TO KEEP SOME CONSISTENCY WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND HAVE LOWER
CONFIDENCE ON SWITCHOVER SO WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF A MIX THROUGH
15Z. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED FRIDAY MORNING.

HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL BE CENTERED JUST EAST OF THE
AREA SATURDAY MORNING AND WITH THE COLD AIRMASS STILL IN
PLACE...EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO AGAIN DROP INTO THE 30S ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA. THE COLDEST AREAS ARE LOOKING TO BE FROM THE
EASTERN PANHANDLE AND WESTERN SANDHILLS THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA. WITH LOW TO MID 30S EXPECTED AT THIS TIME IN THOSE
LOCATIONS...KEPT MENTION OF PATCHY FROST IN THE FORECAST. UP OVER
SHERIDAN AND GARDEN COUNTIES...TEMPERATURES MAY DROP TO THE
FREEZING MARK OR EVEN COLDER SO INCLUDED AREAS OF FROST IN THOSE
LOCATIONS. WINDS LEAD TO SOME UNCERTAINTY IN LOWS FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING. THE ECMWF INDICATES WINDS OF 5 TO 15
KTS...WHILE THE NAM IS A BIT LIGHTER. IF THE STRONGER WINDS WOULD
OCCUR...THE BOUNDARY LAYER MAY STAY MIXED LEADING TO HIGHER LOW
TEMPERATURES AND LESS POTENTIAL FOR FROST. WILL KEEP MONITORING IN
COMING FORECASTS.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE QUICKLY AWAY FROM THE REGION ON
SATURDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE ALSO DRIFTING
EASTWARD. THIS WILL ALLOW SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW TO DEVELOP WITH
WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION ONGOING THROUGH THE DAY. HIGHS ON SATURDAY
ARE QUESTIONABLE AS THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING AND AMOUNT
OF WARM AIR ADVECTION THAT WILL OCCUR DESPITE THE SIMILARITIES IN
THE LARGE SCALE FLOW. WITH QUITE A BIT OF SUNSHINE...LOOKING FOR
GOOD MIXING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH FAIRLY STEEP LAPSE RATES IN
THE LOW LEVELS. ENSEMBLE MOS HAS A SPREAD OF 60 TO 76 FOR HIGHS IN
VALENTINE. NOT AS HIGH OF A SPREAD IN OTHER PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA...BUT STILL HIGHER DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY THAN ON OTHER DAYS
IN THE FORECAST. DIDN/T CHANGE MUCH FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST WHICH
GOES MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BETWEEN THE MODELS...WITH HIGHS IN THE
60S. MODELS ARE BRINGING IN SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...AND WITH THE MIXING POTENTIAL SHOULD GET AT LEAST
SCATTERED CUMULUS COVERAGE TO DEVELOP.

A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT CURRENT MODELS ARE KEEPING ASSOCIATED ENERGY AND
MOISTURE NORTH OF THE AREA SO FORECAST IS DRY AT THIS TIME. ON THE
HEELS OF THE SATURDAY NIGHT SHORTWAVE WILL BE ANOTHER SYSTEM
MOVING OUT OF CANADA AND DIGGING INTO THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
PLAINS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. RAIN CHANCES HAVE BEEN INCREASED
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH A FEW AREAS LINGERING INTO THE DAY MONDAY.
THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH QUICKLY SO MAY BE ABLE TO PULL
CHANCES FOR MONDAY IF THIS TREND IN TIMING CONTINUES. VERY LITTLE
INSTABILITY WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD UP ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING
SO WILL KEEP WEATHER TYPE AS RAIN SHOWERS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.
THE LOW LEVEL JET DOES PICK UP OVERNIGHT BUT IS GENERALLY FOCUSED
INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA AND AREAS EAST. DID INCLUDE ISOLATED THUNDER
POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES TO ACCOUNT FOR HITTING
THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET.

THE TREND IN TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOWLY WARMING THROUGH NEXT
WEEK. BY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY SHOULD START SEEING NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AGAIN AS WARMER AIR ALOFT IS ABLE TO PUSH BACK INTO
THE PLAINS AS RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. DESPITE
SOME WARMING IN THE AIRMASS...THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL REMAIN UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK...SO WILL
HAVE A FEW WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES PASS BY TO BRING CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS. CONFIDENCE ON TIMING OF ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS IS
NOT HIGH SO THUNDERSTORM CHANCES COULD VARY IN COMING
FORECASTS...BUT AT THIS TIME WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY LOOK TO HAVE
THE HIGHER POTENTIAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1230 PM CDT THU SEP 11 2014

MARGINAL TO IFR CEILINGS AT KLBF AND KVTN TERMINALS WILL LINGER
THROUGH 15Z FRIDAY. SHORT TERM MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO MOVE SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT...WHILE PERSISTENT
UPSLOPE CONDITIONS CONTINUE AS SURFACE HIGH MOVES SLOWLY
SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT OVER WESTERN NEB. COLDER AIR ARRIVES ACROSS
THE NORTHWEST WITH HOW FAR SOUTHEAST COLDER AIR WILL SPREAD IS MAIN
CHALLENGE IN PRECIP TYPE. FOR NOW LEFT MIX OF RAIN SNOW OUT OF THE
FORECASTED TAFS...YET LIGHT RAIN AND FOG WILL DROP VISIBILITIES
AOB 3 MILES THIS EVENING THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
