AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
344 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 343 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

AN ARCTIC FRONT IS CURRENTLY SITUATED NEAR MOBRIDGE THROUGH HURON
SOUTH DAKOTA. MEANWHILE...A WEAK DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO BRING
LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES TO WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. A MIXED ATMOSPHERE ALSO KEEPING EARLY
MORNING TEMPERATURES UP INTO THE LOWER 40S ACROSS MOST OF WESTERN
NEBRASKA.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 343 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL BACK SOUTHWESTWARD TO NEAR A PIERRE THROUGH
ONEILL LINE BY 18Z TODAY. THE FRONT WILL THEN RETREAT QUICKLY
EASTWARD AS A WARM FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. CLOUDS WILL ALSO THIN
OUT FROM WEST TO EAST TODAY. WENT NEAR PREVIOUS HIGHS IN THE WEST
AND SOUTHWEST IN THE 50S...AND SLIGHTLY WARMER IN THE CENTRAL AND
EAST TO THE MID AND UPPER 40S. THE EXCEPT IN THE FAR NORTHEAST
INCLUDING ONEILL WHERE HIGHS ONLY WARMING TO THE UPPER 30S.

THE WEAK DISTURBANCE COLOCATED IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A
140 KNOT JET MAX WILL CONTINUE TO BRING EITHER SPRINKLES OR
SLIGHT CHC OF -RW TO THE NORTHEASTERN HALF OF THE FA THIS
MORNING. ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD END BY 18Z.

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE MINIMIZED SOMEWHAT THIS AFTERNOON WITH
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY NEAR 30 PERCENT FOR AREAS SOUTHWEST OF
HYANNIS THROUGH NORTH PLATTE. FORECAST TEMPERATURE DEWPOINT
SPREAD INCREASES TO ABOUT 30 DEGREES WHICH IS NOT NEARLY AS
EXCESSIVE AS LAST TUESDAY WHEN THE SPREAD WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES.

TONIGHT...MOST AREAS TO REMAIN MIXED WITH MILD H85 TEMPS NEAR 10C
IN SRN NEBR AT 06Z. MOST AREAS TO REMAIN WELL INTO THE 40S
THROUGH THE EVENING. DO EXPECT SOME DECOUPLING OVERNIGHT WITH
LOWS TO DIP INTO THE LOWER 30S. MEANWHILE...THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL
DROP INTO CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA BY 12Z SUNDAY.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 343 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

COLD FRONT ARRIVES SUNDAY WITH SEVERAL CONCERNS FOR THE DAY.
SOUNDING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD WITH VERY STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING
BEHIND THE FRONT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS N CENTRAL. 850 MB WINDS
AROUND 50 KTS FOR THE AFTERNOON WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION TO
HELP MIX THE STRONGER WINDS TO THE SFC. GUIDANCE GENERALLY CLOSE
TO OR ABOVE HIGH WIND WARNING FOR AREAS ALONG EAST OF A KVTN TO
KBBW LINE...THUS WILL ISSUE A WATCH. REST OF THE CWA WILL CONTINUE
TO BE MONITORED...HOWEVER EXPECT AT LEAST AN ADVISORY. ALSO
EXPECTING AT LEAST SOME SCT SNOW SHOWERS WITH THE STEEP LAPSE
RATES. INITIALLY COULD SEE A MIX RAIN AND SNOW AS TEMPS COULD
STILL BE IN THE 30S AS PRECIP STARTS...HOWEVER THE MIX WILL BE
SHORT LIVED. TEMPS TRICKY AS TIMING OF THE FRONT CRITICAL TO
HIGHS. EXPECT MORNING HIGHS ACROSS THE NORTH...THEN FALLING MORE
LIKE CRASHING TEMPS. EARLY HIGHS ACROSS THE NORTH LIKELY WELL INTO
THE 30S AND LOCALLY COULD TOP 40...HOWEVER BY LATE AFTERNOON TEMPS
WILL BE WELL INTO THE 20S...IF NOT INTO THE TEENS.

SUNDAY NIGHT AS TEMPS CONTINUE TO FALL INTO TO AROUND ZERO AND
WINDS ARE SLOW TO DIMINISH...ANOTHER HEADLINE IS POSSIBLE. THIS
TIME FOR WIND CHILLS...AT LEAST TO 20 BELOW ZERO IS POSSIBLE...OR
ADVISORY CRITERIA...MAINLY ACROSS THE NE PART OF THE CWA. TO EARLY
TO ISSUE THIS YET...BUT IT WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE HWO. SNOW
CHANCES OVERNIGHT SHOULD BE CONFINED TO UPSLOPE FLOW CLOSER TO THE
FRONT RANGE. CONTINUED FLURRIES IN FAR SW ZONES...HOWEVER WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED IF ACTIVITY REMAINS TO THE WEST OF THE CWA.

WORK WEEK STARTS OUT COLD WITH ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
SOUTH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. HIGHS STRUGGLE FOR MOST AREAS
TO ONLY REACH THE TEENS...WITH 20S ACROSS THE SW. MODELS FAVOR
UPSLOPE LIGHT PRECIP TO THE WEST OF THE CWA. PRESSURE GRADIENT
SLACKENS WITH WINDS STILL ON THE BREEZY SIDE WITH 15 TO 20 MPH AS
CENTER OF THE HIGH REMAINS ACROSS THE DAKOTAS.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY THE HIGH SLOWLY SHIFTS TOWARDS THE
MID MISS RVR VALLEY...WHICH HAS BEEN THE FAVORED SFC HIGH
PRESSURE TRACK LATELY...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR WARMER AIR TO
EVENTUALLY FILL IN FROM THE WEST. COLD AIR STILL ACROSS THE AREA
FOR TUESDAY WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING AGAIN INTO THE TEENS AND
20S...THEN AS WARM AIR ADVECTION KICKS IN FOR WEDNESDAY...HIGHS
REBOUND INTO THE MID 30S TO MID 40S.

THE END OF NEXT WEEK BECOMES MORE UNUSUALLY FOR THIS WINTER AS A
TROUGH DIGS INTO THE PAC NW...BREAKING THE WESTERN RIDGE DOWN A
LITTLE. WITH QUASI ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPING LATE IN THE WEEK MODELS
BRING A COUPLE OF DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE PLAINS. THEN AS THE
TROUGH ROTATES THROUGH THE SW A BRIEF PERIOD BY NEXT WEEKEND
LOOKS TO BE SW FLOW. STILL ISSUES WITH TIMING AND EXACT
TRACK...HOWEVER THIS APPEARS TO BE OUR BEST SHOT AS MEASURABLE
PRECIP IN A WHILE. INITIALLY WAVES WILL HAVE LITTLE MOISTURE TO
WORK WITH SO EXPECT THE END OF THE WORK WEEK TO BE GENERALLY
DRY...ALTHOUGH AN INCREASE IS CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED. TEMPS WILL
ALSO BE CLOSER TO SEASONAL...ALTHOUGH WITH THE ADDED CLOUD
COVER...LOWS MAY BE ON THE MILD SIDE.
