704 AM CDT TUE MAR 29 2016

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 445 AM CDT TUE MAR 29 2016

ALTHOUGH NOT NECESSARILY "HIGH IMPACT" WEATHER...THERE IS PLENTY
GOING ON DURING THESE NEXT 24 HOURS: STARTING OUT WITH WHAT
SHOULD REMAIN NON-SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS MORNING
(ALTHOUGH SMALL HAIL IS POSSIBLE/LIKELY IN A FEW STORMS)...FOLLOWED
BY EVEN STRONGER SOUTH-SOUTHEAST WINDS DURING THE DAY TODAY THAN
YESTERDAY...AND THEN A SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN NIGHT THAT COULD FEATURE
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS BUT SEEMS MORE LIKELY TO PRODUCE NOTHING MORE
THAN LIGHT DRIZZLE (IF EVEN THAT) FOR MOST OF THE CWA. THE HIGH
TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR TODAY IS NOT EXACTLY A "WALK IN THE PARK"
EITHER...AS ALTHOUGH THERE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF
MID-HIGH CLOUDS AROUND...MODELS VARY ON THE COVERAGE AND ARRIVAL
TIME OF AN EXPECTED LOW STRATUS DECK. AREAS THAT SEE THIS LOW
STRATUS DURING PEAK HEATING COULD EASILY FALL 5+ DEGREES SHORT OF
THEIR TEMP POTENTIAL...WHILE AREAS THAT MANAGE TO ONLY SEE HIGHER
CLOUDS AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW PEEKS OF SUN COULD QUICKLY JUMP ABOVE
EXPECTATIONS. MORE ON ALL OF THIS BELOW...

AS FOR THE CURRENT SCENE AS OF 09Z/4AM...HAVE TO SAY THAT THINGS
ARE PRETTY MUCH UNFOLDING AS EXPECTED...AS SCATTERED LATE NIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE DEVELOPING ALONG THE
LEADING EDGE OF FAIRLY MEAGER ELEVATED MOISTURE RETURN/WARM AIR
ADVECTION IN THE 850-700 MILLIBAR LAYER...AND WITHIN THE EXIT
REGION OF A STOUT 50+KT LOW LEVEL JET EXTENDING NORTHWARD OUT OF
CENTRAL KS. AT THIS TIME...SPC MES0-ANALYSIS AND SHORT TERM
SOLUTIONS SUCH AS FROM THE RAP13 SUGGEST NO MORE THAN A FEW
HUNDRED J/KG OF MOST-UNSTABLE CAPE (MUCAPE) INFILTRATING MAINLY
THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN CWA AT THIS TIME...BUT RADAR DATA ALREADY
SUGGESTS THAT A FEW SMALL CORES COULD BE PRODUCING PEA SIZE HAIL.
IN THE BIGGER PICTURE OF THE MID-UPPER LEVELS...WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY AND INITIALIZED MODEL DATA CONFIRM THAT FLOW HAS TURNED
SOUTHWESTERLY OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS...ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF
A DYNAMIC CLOSED LOW CHURNING OVER THE NV/UT BORDER AREA. AT THE
SURFACE...A FAIRLY DECENT PRESSURE GRADIENT EXISTS OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS BETWEEN A ROUGHLY 1024MB HIGH CENTERED OVER IL/IN
AND A 1000MB LOW OVER NORTHEAST CO. AS A RESULT...STEADY SOUTHEAST
BREEZES OF GENERALLY 15 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 25 MPH ARE
AFFECTING MUCH OF THE CWA...WITH THE HIGH-BASED CONVECTION
APPEARING TO ALSO DRAG DOWN SOME ENHANCED HIGHER GUSTS AS WELL.
GIVEN THE INCREASING MID-HIGH CLOUDS AND STEADY BREEZES...LOW
TEMPS ARE ON TRACK TO HOLD UP IN THE 43-47 RANGE IN MOST
PLACES...AND LOCALLY MILDER.

NOW LOOKING AHEAD FORECAST-WISE THROUGH THESE NEXT 24 HOURS:

EARLY THIS MORNING (THROUGH SUNRISE): PRETTY MUCH A CONTINUATION
OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY DEPICTED ON RADAR...AS CLASSIC...GENERALLY
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE
EXPANDING ACROSS THE CWA FROM SOUTHWEST-TO-NORTHEAST. ALTHOUGH NOT
EXPECTING ANY HAIL CORES TO BECOME SEVERE...THE RAP13 SUGGESTS
THAT MUCAPE VALUES COULD POTENTIALLY INCREASE TO AROUND 500 J/KG
IN POCKETS OF THE WESTERN CWA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND THUS
IT'S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT AT LEAST A ROGUE OCCURRENCE OF
DIME/PENNY SIZE HAIL COULD OCCUR. WILL CONTINUE TO BLANKET THE
ENTIRE CWA WITH AT LEAST 20 PERCENT PRECIP CHANCES (POPS)...WITH
THE HIGHEST 40-50 POPS FOCUSED WITHIN THE WESTERN HALF.

TODAY (DAYLIGHT HOURS): PRECIP-WISE...LITTLE CHANGE IN EXPECTATIONS
FROM 12-24 HOURS AGO. VARIOUS MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THAT
THE ONGOING ELEVATED CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN
COVERAGE AND/OR END FROM WEST-TO-EAST AS THE MORNING WEARS ON...IN
RESPONSE TO THE NORTHWARD SHIFT OF THE LOW LEVEL JET AND AN
INCOMING LAYER OF SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR EVIDENT AROUND 700MB THAT
SHOULD EFFECTIVELY CAP THE CWA FROM ADDITIONAL CONVECTION BEHIND
THE DEPARTING EDGE OF THIS MORNING'S ELEVATED ACTIVITY. BY MID-
MORNING...MOST OF THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA SHOULD BE
SHOWER/STORM FREE...WITH EASTERN AREAS THEN STORM FREE BY AROUND
NOON-ISH. AS MENTIONED IN THE EARLY MORNING SECTION...AM NOT
EXPECTING MUCAPE TO EXCEED 500 J/KG AT MOST...BUT WE WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TO SEE VARIOUS POCKETS OF PEA SIZE HAIL...AND POSSIBLY A
FEW UP TO DIME-PENNY SIZE. IN THE WAKE OF THE MORNING
CONVECTION...KEPT THE 18Z-00Z TIME FRAME VOID OF ALL PRECIP
MENTION...ALTHOUGH SUPPOSE A ROGUE HIGH-BASED SHOWER/SPRINKLE
COULD LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY FAR EAST. CERTAINLY THE
MAIN STORY TODAY WILL BE STRONG SOUTH-SOUTHEAST WINDS...WHICH ARE
GENERALLY EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 5-10 MPH STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY AS
THE SURFACE LOW OVER EASTERN CO CONTINUES TO DEEPEN TO AROUND
991MB BY DAY'S END. IN GENERAL...MUCH OF THE DAY WILL FEATURE
SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 25-30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH AND
LOCALLY HIGHER. WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT SOME AREAS WILL SEE
SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 30+ MPH FROM TIME TO TIME (OUR FORMER ADVISORY
CRITERIA BACK WHEN WE ISSUED THEM)...WILL KEEP A STRONG WIND
MENTION GOING IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK (HWO). AS MENTIONED
AT THE TOP...TEMPERATURES DO CARRY SOME MODEST UNCERTAINTY TODAY
DEPENDING ON WHEN AND (FOR SOME PLACES) IF A LOW STRATUS DECK
ULTIMATELY ARRIVES. MODELS SUCH AS THE NAM12 ARE INSISTENT THAT A
FAIRLY SOLID BLANKET OF LOW STRATUS WILL OVERTAKE THE CWA FROM
SOUTH-NORTH FROM MID-MORNING ONWARD...AND THIS STRATUS IS ALREADY
EVIDENT ON SATELLITE/SURFACE OBS MOVING NORTH THROUGH TX
PANHANDLE/WESTERN OK. ON THE OTHER HAND...OTHER MODELS SUCH AS THE
RAP13/HRRR SEEM LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE COVERAGE OF LOW
STRATUS...AND FAVOR THE SOUTHERN/EASTERN CWA MORE THAN THE
NORTH/WEST. NO MATTER WHAT THIS LOW STRATUS ULTIMATELY
DOES...EXPECT SKIES TO AVERAGE MOSTLY CLOUDY THROUGH THE
DAY...IT'S JUST THAT AREAS THAT SEE LOW CLOUDS WILL SEE TEMPS HELD
DOWN MORE. ENDED UP NUDGING PREVIOUS HIGHS UP VERY SLIGHTLY IN
MOST AREAS...BUT STILL CALLING FOR A SLIGHTLY COOLER DAY THAN
YESTERDAY...AIMED FROM LOW-60S CENTRAL/NORTHEAST TO UPPER 60S
SOUTHWEST.

THIS EVENING/TONIGHT: AS MENTIONED AT THE TOP...ALTHOUGH IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETELY RULE OUT A ROGUE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
ALMOST ANYWHERE WITHIN THE CWA...IT APPEARS THAT THE VAST MAJORITY
OF THE CWA WILL PROBABLY NOT SEE ANY RAIN FROM CONVECTIVE
PROCESSES. HOWEVER...ASSUMING THAT A LOW STRATUS DECK DOES IN FACT
MATERIALIZE BY TONIGHT AS SUGGESTED BY THE NAM/GFS...THEN THERE IS
A CHANCE (ESPECIALLY PER THE NAM) THAT AT LEAST PATCHY AREAS OF
DRIZZLE COULD MATERIALIZE. AS A RESULT...HAVE ADDED A DRIZZLE
MENTION TO THE FORECAST TONIGHT...WHILE MAINTAINING LOW-
CONFIDENCE...ONLY 20-30 PERCENT CHANCES FOR A ROGUE
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM. IN THE MID-UPPER LEVELS...BY FAR THE PRIMARY
LARGE-SCALE FORCING IN THE REGION TONIGHT WILL FOCUS SLIGHTLY TO
OUR WEST/NORTHWEST AS THE PRIMARLY CLOSED LOW OVER THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST EARLY THIS EVENING EJECTS/REDEVELOPS EASTWARD
ACROSS NORTHEAST C0/WESTERN NEB. AS A RESULT...THE MAIN ZONE OF
SHOWERS/STORMS TONIGHT SHOULD FOCUS ACROSS NORTHWEST NEB AND
PORTIONS OF SURROUNDING STATES. HOWEVER...WITH AGAIN MAYBE UP TO
AROUND 500 J/KG MUCAPE SLIDING ACROSS THE CWA AS THE NIGHT GOES
ON...AND WITH A 45-55KT LOW LEVEL JET ALIGNED OVERHEAD (ALBEIT NOT
THE EXIT REGION WHICH IS FURTHER NORTH)...JUST CANNOT COMPLETELY
RULE OUT A FEW ROGUE SHOWERS/STORMS. AS WITH THIS MORNING'S
ACTIVITY...SMALL HAIL UP TO AROUND PENNY SIZE WOULD LIKELY BE THE
MAIN ISSUE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. AT THE SURFACE TONIGHT...THE
STRONG LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST INTO WEST-
CENTRAL/NORTHWEST NEB AS THE NIGHT GOES ON. THIS WILL KEEP BREEZY-
WINDY SOUTH WINDS GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT AT SUSTAINED SPEEDS
GENERALLY 20-25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. TOWARD DAYBREAK
THOUGH...ESPECIALLY WESTERN ZONES COULD START SEEING THE BEGINNING
STAGES OF A SHIFT TOWARD MORE WESTERLY WINDS...WHICH MAY START
CLEARING OUT SOME OF THE EXPECTED LOW STRATUS DECK. TEMP-WISE...A
VERY MILD NIGHT IS IN STORE THANKS TO PLENTIFUL CLOUDS...STEADY
WINDS AND HIGHER DEWPOINTS...WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA HOLDING
UP NO LOWER THAN THE LOW-MID 50S.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 445 AM CDT TUE MAR 29 2016

OVERVIEW...WEDNESDAY WILL BE WINDY AND WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S TO
LOWER 70S BEHIND THE DRY LINE AND OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BOTH BE COOL WITH BELOW NORMAL HIGHS AROUND
50 AND ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS. WE DO EXPECT A WARM UP
JUST IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS SATURDAY...SUNDAY...AND
MONDAY BACK INTO THE 60S AND LOWER 70S. THERE WILL BE A FEW CHANCES
OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA BETWEEN WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY EVENING BUT OVERALL EXPECT MOST AREAS WILL
ONLY PICK UP A COUPLE HUNDREDTHS OF MOISTURE IF EVEN THAT.

WEDNESDAY...A LARGE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL PULL OUT INTO THE
PLAINS AND WILL TRACK ACROSS NEBRASKA. FORECAST MODELS HAVE SPED
THIS SYSTEM UP SLIGHTLY FROM 24 HRS AGO...WHICH WILL LIKELY RESULT
IN ANY STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BEING PRIMARILY EAST OF OUR
FORECAST AREA. THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM THREAT ALONG THE HIGHWAY 81 CORRIDOR LATE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING IF THE SYSTEM SLOWS DOWN. HOWEVER...AT
THIS POINT IN TIME...MOST FORECAST MODELS ARE CURRENTLY PUSHING THE
DRY LINE EAST OF OUR FORECAST AREA BY MID AFTERNOON...WHICH WOULD
TAKE ANY SEVERE THREAT EAST OF OUR FORECAST AREA AT THAT TIME. WE
COULD STILL SEE LIGHT PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY EVENING AND LIKELY
WILL IN MANY AREAS...BUT IT WILL BE BEHIND THE DRY LINE AND IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE COLD FRONT AND DYNAMICS OF THE OVERALL UPPER
SYSTEM. PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE PRIMARILY GENERAL RAIN BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...BUT TEMPERATURES COULD COOL ENOUGH FOR SOME SNOW TO MIX
IN ACROSS WESTERN ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. EVEN IF WE
DO SEE SOME SNOW...AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT AND SFC TEMPERATURES WILL
LIKELY BE JUST ABOVE FREEZING SO ACCUMULATING SNOW IS UNLIKELY.

THURSDAY...THERE WILL BE A SECOND VORT MAX/SHORT WAVE RIDING DOWN
THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH FROM CANADA INTO NEBRASKA. THIS
WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS PRIMARILY DURING THE
DAY ON THURSDAY...BUT SOME COULD LINGER INTO THURSDAY EVENING ACROSS
NORTHEASTERN ZONES. THIS WILL BE AN UNPLEASANT WEATHER DAY GIVEN THE
COMBINATION OF A GUSTY NORTHWEST WIND...SCATTERED COLD RAIN
SHOWERS...AND TEMPERATURES THAT WILL LIKELY BE IN THE 40S MOST OF
THE DAY.

FRIDAY...DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE
DEPARTING TROUGH. HOWEVER...THE COOL AIR WILL STILL BE IN PLACE AND
THUS HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 50 NEBRASKA...TO THE MID 50S OVER
KANSAS.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
THE WESTERN CONUS BRINGING IN WARMER HIGHS IN THE 60S AND 70S ALONG
WITH DRY CONDITIONS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT703 AM CDT TUE MAR 29 2016

SUMMARY: WHILE CONFIDENCE REMAINS FAIRLY HIGH IN VFR VISIBILITY
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO TREND DOWNWARD
FROM VFR TO MVFR WITH TIME. THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING THESE FIRST FEW HOURS THIS
MORNING...ALONG WITH SOME MODEST LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR (LLWS).

CEILING: ALTHOUGH THE PERIOD STARTS OUT WITH ONLY MID-HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS...VARIOUS MODELS/GUIDANCE ARE INSISTENT THAT MVFR CEILING
WILL PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST THE LATTER HALF OF THE PERIOD. AT
LEAST ONE SET OF MODEL GUIDANCE EVEN SUGGESTS IFR LATE
TONIGHT...BUT DID NOT GO THIS PESSIMISTIC YET. NO MATTER...THERE
IS STILL A FAIR AMOUNT OF DISCREPANCY REGARDING THE TIMING ONSET
OF ANY SUB-VFR CEILING...AND THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE THAT CEILING
COULD HOLD UP IN LOW-END VFR RANGE LONGER THAN CURRENTLY
DEPICTED. STAY TUNED FOR ADJUSTMENTS HERE.

SURFACE WIND: OVERALL...IT WILL BE WINDIER THAN THE PAST 24 HOURS.
SPEEDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE THIS MORNING AND PEAK IN INTENSITY
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH GUST POTENTIAL TO AROUND 35KT.

LLWS: HAVE MAINTAINED LLWS THROUGH 14-15Z AS THE PRESENCE OF
SOUTH WINDS AVERAGING AROUND 45KT WITHIN ROUGHLY THE LOWEST 1500
FT AGL WILL CREATE GENERALLY 30-35KT OF SHEAR MAGNITUDE UNTIL
SURFACE WINDS START INCREASING BY MID-MORNING.

PRECIPITATION: RIGHT AWAY THIS MORNING...AN AREA OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE AREA FOR THE FIRST FEW
HOURS BEFORE DEPARTING TO THE EAST. SOME SMALL HAIL CANNOT BE
RULED OUT. THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD SHOULD LARGELY BE
DRY...ALTHOUGH SOME LIGHT DRIZZLE CANNOT BE RULED OUT TONIGHT
UNDER A LOW STRATUS DECK AS CEILINGS DECREASE.
