AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
1144 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 406 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

THE 08Z MSL ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE COLD FRONT WAS THROUGH SOUTH
CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. THE HIGHEST 3 HOUR PRESSURE CHANGES
WERE ABOUT 7MB IN SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA. IN THE UPPER LEVELS...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED A POTENTIAL VORTICITY ANOMALY PLUNGING
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS
IS REFLECTED IN THE 08Z ISOLLABARIC FIELD.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 920 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

CONVERGENCE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NW NEB...DOWN WIND OF THE BLACK
HILLS HAS DEVELOPED THIS MORNING. PINE RIDGE HAS REPORTED SOME
SNOW...WITH TEMPS AROUND 30. EXPECT THIS CONVERGENCE ZONE TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. GUSTY NW
WINDS WILL STRETCH THIS ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NEB...HOWEVER THIS
WILL LIMIT THE INTENSITY. UPDATED FOR FLURRIES...AND ADDED SOME
SPRINKLES AS TEMPS WARM LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SHERIDAN COUNTY AS LOCALLY SOME
LIGHT...LESS THAN AN INCH...IS POSSIBLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 406 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

OF IMMEDIATE INTEREST IS THE PV ANOMALY IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND ITS
EFFECT ON THE SURFACE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED PRESSURE GRADIENT. IT IS
LIKELY THAT FEATURE WILL RESULT IN INCREASING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA. AT THIS TIME...IT
APPEARS THAT THE MIXED LAYER WILL REACH NEAR THE 700MB LEVEL AND THE
MEAN WIND IN THE MIXED LAYER WILL PROBABLY REMAIN BELOW 40KT
AND...AT THE SURFACE...FRICTION SHOULD KEEP SPEEDS BELOW 40 MPH.
CONSIDERING THE EXPECTED MIXED LAYER DEPTH AND THE EFFECT OF THE PV
ANOMALY...WE WOULD EXPECT THE WIND SPEED TO INCREASE FAIRLY QUICKLY
IN CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. IN THE SOUTHWEST...THE EFFECT
WILL NOT BE AS DIRECT AND TIMING OF WIND REACHING ITS HIGHER SPEEDS
WILL BE DELAYED. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT WIND WILL BECOME 30-35MPH
BEFORE EARLY MORNING IN CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA WITH
GUSTS POSSIBLY APPROACHING 55 MPH. EVEN WITH THE LATER ONSET...THE
SOUTHWEST WILL PROBABLY HAVE SIMILAR SPEEDS. WIND WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED FOR HIGHER SPEEDS.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 406 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

PRIME FOCUS THROUGH THIS FORECAST PERIOD IS ON TEMPERATURES
WEDNESDAY...THEN WITH WINDS ON THURSDAY.

RIDGING WILL BUILD IN ALOFT THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF
THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO PASS ACROSS THE REGION.
THAT SYSTEM...CURRENTLY MOVING INTO ALASKA TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE
VERY STRONG EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE WILL TOP THE RIDGE AND PUSH
SOUTHEAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTH INTO THE MID/LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
THROUGH THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...FURTHER AMPLIFYING THE UPPER
LEVEL FLOW.

FOR WEDNESDAY...THERE IS SOME VARIANCE AS TO HOW WARM IT WILL
GET...WHICH WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON HOW DEEP THE BOUNDARY LAYER
CAN MIX. DETERMINISTIC MODELS ARE NOT MIXING MUCH AT ALL...NOT EVEN
TO 850MB SO HAVE LOWER OUTPUTS THIS MODEL CYCLE. ALTHOUGH CLOUD
COVER WILL LIKELY KEEP SURFACE TEMPERATURES FROM WARMING TOO
MUCH...WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS MAY OFFSET THAT LIMITATION. AS
MODELS HAVE BEEN ROUTINELY TOO COOL IN WARM AIR ADVECTION SITUATIONS
USED BIAS CORRECTED MODEL OUTPUTS AS A BASE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
WEDNESDAY...WHICH CAME TO VALUES VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST WITH UPPER 40S AND 50S. DO THINK THAT THE CLOUD COVER WILL
PREVENT ANY 60 DEGREE READINGS FROM BEING REACHED.

THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOMING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL
MOVE ACROSS NEBRASKA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL BE STRONGEST OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNING AND
WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING THINK THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL
STAY MIXED THROUGH THE NIGHT SO SHOULD SEE BREEZY CONDITIONS ALL
NIGHT. DO INCREASE WINDS BY 12Z TO WIND ADVISORY LEVELS...BUT VERY
STRONG WINDS OF 50 TO 65KT ARE EXPECTED AT 850MB BY 06Z OR 09Z SO IF
MIXING IS THAT HIGH IN THE LATE OVERNIGHT HOURS WINDS WILL BE MUCH
STRONGER THAN IS IN THE CURRENT FORECAST. AS THE DAY CONTINUES
ALTHOUGH THE COLD AIR ADVECTION WON/T BE AS STRONG...THE SURFACE TO
500MB LAYER WILL BE QUITE DRY AND HAVE STRONG SUBSIDENCE IN PLACE.
BELIEVE THIS WILL LEAD TO DEEP MIXING THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON. WINDS THROUGH THE MIXED LAYER STAY AT 45KT TO 55KTS SO
WILL LIKELY NEED SOME SORT OF WIND HEADLINE. THERE IS A SLIGHT
DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS ON WHEN THE PRIMARY PV ANOMALY WILL MOVE
ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA...WHICH COULD BE WHEN THE STRONGEST WIND
POTENTIAL MAY BE. WITH THIS SLIGHT BIT OF UNCERTAINTY STILL AND WITH
ONGOING WIND HEADLINES...WILL FORE-GO ISSUING ANY ADVISORY/WATCH AT
THIS TIME AND UPCOMING SHIFTS CAN RE-EVALUATE AND ISSUE WHAT MIGHT
BE NEEDED AT A LATER TIME. WINDS WILL DECREASE THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT
AS COLDER AIR MOVES IN WIND CHILLS ARE LOOKING TO DROP BELOW ZERO
FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA...MAINLY EAST OF A MERRIMAN TO NORTH PLATTE
LINE.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL EXIT THE PLAINS AND HEAD TOWARDS THE
EAST COAST ON FRIDAY. THE AREA WILL STILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE COOLER AIRMASS SO NOT LOOKING FOR TOO MUCH OF AN INCREASE IN
TEMPERATURES FROM THURSDAY...HOWEVER WILL FEEL MUCH WARMER WITHOUT
THE WINDS. FOR SATURDAY...THE GFS AND GEM ARE SHOWING ANOTHER WEAK
SHORTWAVE TROUGH PUSHING SOUTH ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND INTO EASTERN
NEBRASKA. THE ECMWF HAS THE SIGNAL BUT MUCH WEAKER. THE DIFFERENCES
LEAD TO HOW MUCH OF A SECONDARY COLD AIR PUSH WILL COME INTO THE
FORECAST AREA BEHIND THE THURSDAY SYSTEM. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS ON
THE COOLER SIDE AT THIS POINT SO WILL WATCH THIS TREND IN THE COMING
DAYS. THE RIDGE DOES BUILD EAST THROUGH SUNDAY...SO WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY.

THE NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK FOR THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS LEADS TO SOME DIFFERENCES IN
TIMING OF WEAK SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW ACROSS THE AREA
BRINGING A QUICK SHOT OF COLDER AIR AND BREEZY WINDS. HOWEVER NO
MAJOR SYSTEMS ARE IN THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

THE FORECAST IS DRY FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE EARLY PARTS OF NEXT
WEEK. ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME FLURRIES ON THURSDAY OVER NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. CURRENTLY IT LOOKS TOO DRY EVEN FOR FLURRIES SO
DID NOT MENTION IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1142 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

MAIN CONCERN TODAY IS STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS...GUSTING AT TIMES TO
35-40KT THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS
TEMPERATURES COOL...BECOMING LIGHT...LESS THAN 10 KTS...OVERNIGHT.
A COUPLE OF BANDS OF LIGHT/MODERATE SNOW SHOWER IMPACTING AREAS
DOWN WIND OF THE BLACK HILLS...HOWEVER IT SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF
BOTH KVTN. THE SNOW SHOWER IS FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE AND A BRIEF
IMPACT CAN NOT BE RULED OUT AT KLBF...HOWEVER IMPACT SHOULD BE
AROUND 10 MINS OR LESS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 522 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014

FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL
RESULT IN RELATIVE HUMIDITY APPROACHING 20 PERCENT IN SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT CRITICAL RELATIVE HUMIDITY...CURED
GRASS FUELS AND VERY WINDY CONDITIONS THURSDAY COULD COMBINE TO
CAUSE ANY FIRE THAT DOES START TO GET OUT OF CONTROL RAPIDLY.

&&

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM CST /5 PM MST/ THIS EVENING FOR

531 AM CST TUE JAN 14 2014 /431 AM MST TUE JAN 14 2014/

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

BECAUSE OF A STRONG FRONT WHICH WENT THROUGH CENTRAL AND WESTERN
NEBRASKA OVERNIGHT...NORTHWEST WIND WILL INCREASE TO 30 TO 35 MPH
THIS MORNING WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING 45 MPH. SOME LOCALIZED WIND
GUSTS MAY EXCEED 50 MPH. WIND IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE TO LESS THAN
30 MPH BY EARLY THIS EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

ANOTHER VERY WINDY DAY IS IN STORE THURSDAY FOR WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA AS ANOTHER STRONG CANADIAN FRONT BLOWS THROUGH.
IN SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND DRY GRASS COULD
COMBINE WITH THE VERY STRONG WIND TO INCREASE THE RISK OF FIRE
GETTING OUT OF CONTROL IF A FIRE WERE TO START.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT.
