AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1114 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2015
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 437 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2015
OVERALL THE SHORT TERM FORECAST IS LITERALLY THE CALM BEFORE THE
STORM. FOR THE MOST PART...MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AS
THE MAJORITY OF THE PERIOD IS DRY AND QUIET. HOWEVER...BY OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT A MAJOR WEATHER MAKER IS PLANNING A CHANGE FOR THE CENTRAL
PLAINS.
THE CENTRAL PLAINS CURRENTLY REMAIN ON THE CUSP OF SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST FLOW AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. AT THE
SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE HAS DEEPENED ALONG THE FRONT RANGE AND IS
SLOWLY CREEPING EASTWARD. AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES WITH THE
APPROACHING TROUGH...SOUTHERLY BREEZES SHOULD COME DOWN SLIGHTLY FOR
TUESDAY...UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. MEANING A FAIRLY BEAUTIFUL AND
MILD DAY ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH HIGHS TOPPING OUT NEAR 60 DEGREES IN
MOST AREAS.
HEADING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THE TROUGH BEGINS TO EJECT
EASTWARD ACROSS THE ROCKIES...AND EXPAND THE SURFACE LOW...NOW MORE
DEFINED...INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THE MAJORITY OF MODEL SOLUTIONS
KEEPS THE FORECAST AREA DRY THROUGH AT LEAST 6Z...AND SOME EVEN INTO
9Z. THE SPC 4 KM WRF IS EVEN BONE DRY THROUGH 12Z. HOWEVER...KEPT AT
LEAST THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TO DEVELOP ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NEBRASKA ZONES BETWEEN THE 6 TO 12Z TIMEFRAME...GIVEN DECENT
ISENTROPIC LIFT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. CONFIDENCE IN
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS PERIOD IS ALSO LACKING...AS THE NAM
SOLUTION IS LACKING FOR ANY INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA...WHILE THE
SREF IS A BIT MORE ROBUST WITH INSTABILITY. LEFT THUNDERSTORM
MENTION IN ACROSS THE TRI-CITIES AND SOUTHEAST...BUT LIGHTNING
STRIKES WILL BE MORE LIKELY EAST OF HIGHWAY 281 EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING.
.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 437 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2015
OVERVIEW...THE BIG STORY AND ONLY ACTIVE WEATHER THROUGH THE LONG
TERM PERIOD WILL BE RIGHT AT THE START OF THE PERIOD ON WEDNESDAY.
OUR FORECAST AREA WILL SEE THE FULL GAMUT OF WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY
VARYING FROM MORNING THUNDERSTORMS...SOME STRONG...TO AFTERNOON
SNOW...ALONG WITH A SHARP DROP IN AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ACCOMPANIED
BY WIND GUSTS TO OVER 50 MPH. IN ADDITION...LIQUID EQUIVALENT
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY BE AROUND OR MORE THAN 0.50 INCHES
FOR MANY AREAS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 6.
WEDNESDAY...THE VERTICALLY STACKED STORM SYSTEM LOCATED OVER
NORTHWESTERN KANSAS AT DAWN WILL RACE NORTHEAST INTO OUR FORECAST
AREA BY NOON...AND INTO IOWA BY 6 PM. THIS QUICK MOVING DEEPENING
LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO OUR FORECAST
AREA AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY.
INSTABILITY WILL BE INCREASING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF OUR
FORECAST AREA AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. MLCAPE VALUES
SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE 500-1000 J/KG RANGE OVER EASTERN ZONES BY LATE
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WIND SHEAR AND MARGINAL
INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW FOR AT LEAST THE THREAT OF A STRONG TO
MARGINALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACROSS OUR FAR EASTERN ZONES. HAIL
AND WIND WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS.
PERHAPS THE MOST INTERESTING ASPECT OF THIS FORECAST CENTERS AROUND
THE POSSIBILITY OF MANY AREAS...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF HWY 6...SEEING
THEIR FIRST SNOWFLAKES OF THE SEASON. ONCE THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER
PASSES EAST OF OUR LOCATION THE WIND WILL TURN NORTH NORTHWEST AT 35
TO 40 MPH AND WITH SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE FAST MOVING
SYSTEM EXPECT WIND GUSTS TO OVER 50 MPH. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
IN THE DEFORMATION PRECIPITATION BAND NORTHWEST OF THE LOW WILL SEND
TEMPERATURES FALLING THROUGH THE 30S BY AFTERNOON WITH WIND CHILLS
TUMBLING INTO THE LOWER 20S. THIS WILL BE A SHOCK TO THE BODY FOR
THOSE THAT WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE WEDNESDAY MORNING IN SAY HASTINGS
WHERE THE DRIVE TO WORK TEMPERATURE WILL BE AROUND 50...BUT THE WIND
CHILL TEMPERATURE ON THE WAY HOME WILL BE IN THE LOWER 20S. THE
CURRENT TRACK OF THE LOW WILL DRY SLOT THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF OUR
FORECAST AREA WITH LIMITED PRECIPITATION SOUTH OF HIGHWAY
6...GENERALLY LESS THAN 0.25 INCHES. THE HIGHWAY 6 CORRIDOR COULD
SEE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 0.25 AND 0.50 INCHES WHILE OUR NORTHWESTERN
ZONES FROM LEXINGTON...TO ORD...TO FULLERTON COULD SEE AS MUCH AS 1
INCH OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION.
TEMPERATURES ALOFT ARE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW BY AFTERNOON...BUT SFC
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 30S WILL MAKE FOR A SLOW CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW. THESE ABOVE FREEZING SFC TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR SNOW TO ACCUMULATE EXCEPT FOR WHERE THE SNOWFALL RATE
IS THE HEAVIEST WITHIN THE CENTER OF THE DEFORMATION SNOW BAND
ACROSS OUR NORTHWESTERN ZONES...GENERALLY NORTHWEST OF THE TRI-
CITES. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO REALLY SEE THE SNOW COMING DOWN BY
MID AFTERNOON IN PLACES LIKE KEARNEY...LEXINGTON...ORD...AND SAINT
PAUL WITH A SNOW RATE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW FOR SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION
ON GRASSY SURFACES DESPITE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 33 AND 36 DEGREES.
VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED TO LESS THAN 1/4 MILE AT TIMES BY THIS
WIND DRIVEN FALLING SNOW. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH GROUND BLOWING SNOW DUE
TO THE WARM TEMPERATURES/WET AND STICKY NATURE OF THE EXPECTED SNOW.
THE FRONTOGENESIS IS VERY STRONG SO WHEN THIS RAIN/SNOW BAND COMES
THROUGH THE PRECIPITATION WILL REALLY BE COMING DOWN...BUT IT JUST
WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN A COUPLE OF HOURS. FOR INSTANCE THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION IN THE TRI CITIES WILL LIKELY BE BETWEEN 2 AND 5 PM
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...WE WILL RETURN TO A QUIET WEATHER PATTERN
WITH DRY CONDITIONS. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE COOL IN THE LOWER
50S...BUT WE DO EXPECT A WARM UP BACK INTO THE 60S BY THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1108 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2015
COMPLICATED WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THE TAFS THRU THE NEXT 24
HOURS. VIS SATELLITE SHOWS A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD AREA OF STRATUS IN
PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEB INTO NORTHERN KS
LATE THIS MORNING...WITH CIGS RANGING FROM IFR TO MVFR. THE
STRATUS IS SHOWING SIGNS OF BREAKING UP WITH SHORT TERM MODELS
INDICATING THIS WILL OCCUR MORE SO TOWARD 20Z OR 21Z THIS AFTN.
CLOUDS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP TONIGHT AFTER DARK AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING POTENT UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. CIGS AGAIN ARE
EXPECTED TO LOWER TO MFR OR IFR AND POTENTIALLY LIFR TOWARD
DAYBREAK ON WEDNESDAY. COULD SEE A PERIOD OF REDUCED VSBYS IN FOG
BEFORE PCPN DEVELOPS AND VSBYS MAY ALSO BE REDUCED AT TIMES DURING
PCPN AS LIFT INCREASES HEADING INTO WEDNESDAY. A POTENT COLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CROSS THE TERMINALS IN THE LATTER TAF HOURS
BRINGING A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND INTENSE NORTH WIND SPEEDS.
