AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
409 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 407 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

A POTENT...UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS CENTERED OVER WESTERN KS
THIS AFTERNOON. A NICE JET STREAK EXTENDED FROM NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA...AROUND THE BASE OF THE LOW...NOSING INTO CENTRAL KS.
DOWNSTREAM OF THE TROUGH...A HIGH AMPLITUDE...NEGATIVE TILTED RIDGE
EXTENDED FROM THE SERN STATES INTO NRN MANITOBA. AT THE
SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE WAS NOTED OVER GOODLAND KS WITH A COLD FRONT
EXTENDING SSW INTO NERN NEW MEXICO. AN INVERTED TROUGH AXIS EXTENDED
NORTH OF THE LOW ALONG THE COLORADO/KS BORDER INTO THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE. WEST OF THIS INVERTED TROUGH...TEMPS WERE IN THE LOWER TO
MID 40S...WHILE EAST OF THE TROUGH AXIS...TEMPS WERE IN THE 60S AND
70S. A DRY LINE...EXTENDED NORTH OF THE SURFACE LOW INTO SWRN
NEBRASKA...WHERE IT TURNED SOUTHEAST INOT SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FIRED ALONG THE DRYLINE THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE
TORNADIC THREAT GENERALLY IN SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA WHERE BETTER
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR EXISTS. FURTHER NORTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN SANDHILLS...GOOD SPEED SHEAR EXISTS...HOWEVER DIRECTIONAL
SHEAR IS LACKING PER LATEST KLNX VAD WIND PROFILER. IN THESE
AREAS...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE OCCURRED WITH LARGE HAIL BEING
THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 407 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TONIGHT...THEN
LEAD TO FORMATION OF DEFORMATION BAND AND SNOW POTENTIAL.

THE UPPER LOW WAS CENTERED OVER NORTHWEST KANSAS AS OF 20Z...WITH
THE SURFACE CIRCULATION ALMOST DIRECTLY OVER KCBK.

WITH THE SYSTEM BEING NEARLY VERTICALLY STACKED OVER NORTHWEST
KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON...THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE MODELS MAY BE
TRYING TO KICK THE SYSTEM EAST TOO QUICKLY THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL IMPACT THE AREAS THAT CONTINUE TO SEE
CONVECTION...WHERE THE PRECIPITATION FALLS...WHERE THE WINDS
STRENGTHEN...AND WHERE AND WHEN THE RAIN SWITCHES OVER TO SNOW.

THE LATEST RAP MODEL MOVES THE SURFACE CIRCULATION TO NEAR KMCK BY
00Z THIS EVENING THEN OVER KHSI AT 06Z AND THEN MOVES IT UP TO
AROUND KBVN BY 12Z. THIS SOLUTION IS QUITE SIMILAR TO THE NEW 18Z
NAM. THESE SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT MOISTURE AROUND THE
CIRCULATION AND ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEBRASKA THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. STRONG FRONTOGENESIS SETS UP ON THE BACK SIDE OF
THE SYSTEM...CENTERED OVER THE PANHANDLE AND WESTERN SANDHILLS
OVERNIGHT. WITH GOOD MOISTURE IN THAT AREA AND SUBSTANTIAL LIFT DUE
TO THE LARGE SCALE FORCING AND FRONTOGENESIS...EXPECT A GOOD
DEFORMATION BAND TO BE ONGOING THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. SOME AREAS
COULD SEE UP TO AN INCH OF MOISTURE BY 12Z MONDAY MORNING. THE BIG
QUESTION WITH THE PRECIPITATION IS IF ENOUGH COLD AIR WILL MOVE IN
TO GET SOME AREAS TO GET A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW. THE NAM AND THE RAP
BOTH SHOW WET BULB PROFILES BELOW ZERO UNTIL ABOUT 300FT OR LESS
ABOVE THE GROUND IN AREAS OVER THE NORTHEAST PANHANDLE...ESPECIALLY
THE PINE RIDGE. IF THIS TURNS OUT...MAY SEE LOTS OF SNOW FALLING BUT
WILL BE MELTING WHEN HITTING THE SURFACE OR JUST PRIOR. BUT...EVEN
ONE DEGREE DIFFERENCE WILL BE ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO CHANGE OVER
COMPLETELY TO SNOW AND IF RATES BECOME STRONG ENOUGH...COULD GET
DECENT ACCUMULATIONS. AT THIS TIME...WITH THE MODELS ALL KEEPING THE
WET BULB TEMPERATURE ABOVE 0C...DID PUT A COMPLETE CHANGEOVER TO
SNOW IN THE NORTHWEST ZONES...BUT ONLY HAVE ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 2
INCHES ASSUMING THERE WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL MELTING AT THE SURFACE.

THE NEXT QUESTION WILL BE WHAT WILL REMAIN FOR CONVECTION AND
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES OVERNIGHT. KEPT AT LEAST A MENTION OF ISOLATED
THUNDER IN AREAS ALONG THE INVERTED TROUGH GOING NORTH OF THE
SURFACE LOW AS MOISTURE AND SOME WEAK INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO
CIRCULATE AROUND THE SYSTEM.

MOVING ON TO WINDS...A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE SEEN ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM...WHICH SHOULD CAUSE WINDS TO STRENGTHEN
ACROSS THE AREA AS THE LOW MOVES EAST TONIGHT. THE ONGOING WIND
ADVISORY FOR AREAS MAINLY WEST OF HIGHWAY 83 FOR THE OVERNIGHT
PERIODS CONTINUES TO LOOK GOOD AS SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 30MPH STILL
LOOK LIKELY.

WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS OVER
THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT...DID CONSIDER A
NEED FOR A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING. AT THIS TIME...DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY ON THE SWITCHOVER TO
SNOW...OPTED TO NOT ISSUE AT THIS TIME AND WILL MONITOR CLOSELY IF
HEADLINES ARE NEEDED.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 407 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

TOMORROW THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE WINDS AND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL
LOW...WHICH WILL MIGRATE FROM EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 84 HOURS. IN ADDITION TO
PRECIPITATION CHANCES...THE THREAT FOR SNOW...PARTICULARLY DURING
THE NIGHTTIME HOURS...WILL BE A CONCERN ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

FOR MONDAY...PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN
FORECASTING CONCERN. ON MONDAY...THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL
MEANDER ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA...DRIFTING INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA BY
LATE AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY AS H85 WINDS REACH 40 TO 50 KTS
IN THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEASTERN PANHANDLE MONDAY AFTERNOON. WIND
SPEEDS DECREASE FAIRLY QUICKLY EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 83 CORRIDOR AND
DO NOT REALLY BEGIN TO KICK IN UNTIL MONDAY EVENING. TO AVOID
CONFUSION...DECIDED TO HOIST A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR LOCATIONS ROUGHLY
WEST OF A LINE FROM HAYES CENTER...TO ARTHUR...TO GARDEN COUNTY. IN
THESE AREAS...A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED TOMORROW...BUT
AT THIS TIME...I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE A HIGH WIND
WARNING AND WILL ISSUE A WATCH AND LET THE MIDNIGHT CREW MAKE THE
CALL. FURTHER EAST...TO THE HIGHWAY 83 CORRIDOR...NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL INCREASE BY MIDDAY AND ARE EXPECTED TO REACH ADVISORY
CRITERIA...FROM LINCOLN COUNTY NWD TO WESTERN CHERRY COUNTY AND WILL
HOIST A WIND ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS. IN ADDITION TO WIND...THERE
IS STILL A SMALL THREAT FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWS MONDAY MORNING IN THE
FAR NORTHWESTERN FORECAST AREA IN THE VICINITY OF THE PINE RIDGE.
LIKE YESTERDAY...THE NAM HAS THE COLDEST BOUNDARY LAYER OF THE THREE
MID RANGE MODELS. GIVEN THE LACK OF COLD UPSTREAM AIR ACROSS NERN
WYOMING AND WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA ATTM...AM INCLINED TO TREND TEMPS
TOWARD THE WARMER GFS AND ECMWF SOLNS. WITH THIS IN MIND...HAVE
WORDED THE FORECAST WITH A RAIN SNOW MIX THROUGH MID MORNING WITH
LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMS EXPECTED. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS
AREA CLOSELY. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL
CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA...WHERE A STRONG MID LEVEL DEFORMATION ZONE WILL SET
UP AND PERSISTENT ISENTROPIC LIFT CONTINUES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.

ON MONDAY NIGHT...WINDS WILL INCREASE IN THE EAST AND SUBSIDE SOME
IN THE WEST AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MEANDERS INTO SWRN IOWA AND
NORTHWEST MISSOURI. WINDS WILL REMAIN ON THE GUSTY SIDE INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...WHICH MAY NECESSITATE ISSUANCE OF A WIND ADVISORY
MONDAY NIGHT. BASED ON THE LATEST MAV GUIDANCE AND BUFKIT
DATA...ALMOST THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
MONDAY NIGHT. GIVEN THE ONGOING WIND HEADLINES...WILL HOLD OFF ON
ISSUANCE ATTM TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH OUR CURRENT HEADLINES. DECENT
ISENTROPIC LIFT CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY OVER
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEBRASKA AND WILL CONTINUE LIKELY TO
CATEGORICAL POPS OVERNIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MEANDER EAST ON
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...ENDING UP OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES BY
THURSDAY MORNING. DURING THE PERIOD...THE THREAT FOR LIGHT RAIN WILL
CONTINUE TUESDAY WITH GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED AS WELL. H85 WINDS WILL
DECREASE TO 35 TO 45 KTS ON TUESDAY...SO ANOTHER MAY BE NEEDED FOR
TUESDAY ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPS WILL REMAIN COOL
HOWEVER WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND WITH H85 TEMPS RANGING FROM -2C
IN THE NORTHEAST...TO 3 C IN THE SOUTHWEST...HIGHS TUESDAY WILL
STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE UPPER 30S TO 40S. ON WEDNESDAY...H85
TEMPS WILL WARM TO 1C IN THE NORTHEAST...TO 5C IN THE SOUTHWEST.
AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL REBOUND SLIGHTLY TO THE 40S TO LOWER 50S. WINDS
WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIGHTER...THOUGH WINDY WITH WIND SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30
MPH...WITH SOME HIGHER GUSTS TO 40 MPH. AT THIS TIME...AM NOT
ANTICIPATING ANY WIND HEADLINES ATTM.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE ABSORBED
BY THE NORTHERN STREAM AND LIFTED EAST TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK.
HOWEVER...LOW PRESSURE ALOFT WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
CANADA...AND WILL FORCE COLD AIR INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS LATE IN
THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH
THIS FLOW REGIME. HIGHS WILL BE MORE MARCH LIKE WITH READINGS IN THE
50S EXPECTED FRIDAY...SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1244 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL TRACK NORTH INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF NEBRASKA OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS...BECOMING POSITIONED OVER
NORTHERN NEBRASKA BY DAYBREAK ON MONDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL SPREAD
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE KLBF AND KVTN TERMINALS THIS
EVENING...FOLLOWED BY PERSISTENT RAIN SHOWERS AND STRONG
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND MONDAY MORNING.
FOR THE KLBF TERMINAL...EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY OF
THE TERMINAL THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...WITH MORE PERSISTENT
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AFTER MID AFTERNOON. THIS THREAT WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH 00Z MONDAY. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED THEREAFTER WITH
CIGS DROPPING DOWN TO 4000 TO 6000 FT AGL RAIN SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED TO END MONDAY MORNING...HOWEVER STRONG NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 KTS ARE LIKELY AFTER 15Z MONDAY. FOR THE
KVTN TERMINAL...EXPECT OVERCAST SKIES WITH CIGS AROUND 5000 FT AGL
THIS AFTERNOON WITH AN INCREASED THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS AFTER
21Z. THE THREAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY EVENING WITH SHOWERS
EXPECTED THEREAFTER. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AFTER 00Z AND
INCREASE WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 KTS POSSIBLE THROUGH 18Z MONDAY.
