AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
700 PM CDT SAT MAY 7 2016

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 658 PM CDT SAT MAY 7 2016

UPDATED THE FORECAST EARLIER FOR TONIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SMOKE
FROM CANADA. THIS MAY PERSIST FOR SEVERAL HOURS...IT APPEARS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT SAT MAY 7 2016

CURRENT RADAR SHOWS SOME SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING
INTO THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE
COLD FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING
HAS STALLED IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. TO THE NORTH OF THE
FRONT...WINDS ARE FROM THE NORTHEAST AND TO THE SOUTH WINDS ARE FROM
THE SOUTH.

THE UPPER LOW IN THE FOUR CORNERS REGION MOVES INTO THE PLAINS
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. AHEAD OF THE LOW THERE IS A WAVE THAT WILL BE
MOVING INTO THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. EXPECT THE LINE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ON THE HIGH PLAINS WITH THE UPPER WAVE
THAT IS MOVING THIS DIRECTION. THESE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD SPREAD
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS EVENING. A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS STILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE HAIL
AND WIND WITH THESE. ALL OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD LIFT TO THE
NORTH/NORTHEAST DURING THE NIGHT AND WILL PROBABLY COME TO AN END BY
MORNING.

MOST OF THE FORECAST MODELS HAVE SUNDAY MORNING DRY...BUT A FEW HAVE
SOME LINGERING PRECIPITATION IN THE MORNING. THE OTHER POSSIBILITY
IS SOME SHOWERS AROUND DURING THE MORNING. HAVE ONLY KEPT SOME VERY
LOW POPS DURING THE MORNING.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON THERE IS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVING IN FROM
THE UPPER LOW ON THE HIGH PLAINS. THE SURFACE LOW TO THE SOUTHWEST
KEEPS A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT SAT MAY 7 2016

ALOFT: THE MEAN LONGWAVE TROF WILL BE OVER THE ROCKIES AND PLAINS
THE NEXT 5 DAYS...WITH THE FLOW DEAMPLIFYING AND THE TROF
TRANSITIONING INTO THE ERN USA IN THE 5-10 DAY PERIOD. SUN NIGHT
INTO MON THE UPR LOW ALONG THE WY/NEB BORDER WILL DRIFT OVER NEB
WHILE THE TRAILING TROF INTO THE DESERT SW SWINGS UNDERNEATH INTO
THE SRN PLAINS. MEANWHILE...A POTENT TROF WILL BE DIVING INTO THE
NRN ROCKIES. THIS TROF WILL CLOSE OFF MON NIGHT AND BECOME DOMINANT
AS IT SWINGS THRU THE DAKOTAS TUE-WED. THE INITIAL LOW/TROF WILL
LIFT OUT OF THE MEAN TROF AND DEAMPLIFY TUE AS IT HEADS FOR THE
GREAT LAKES. THE MEAN TROF WILL CROSS THE FCST AREA WED. SPREAD
INCREASES THU IN THE LAST 2 RUNS OF THE GFS/EC/GEM...BUT THE GENERAL
THEME FOLLOWS THE EC ENSEMBLE MEAN WITH LOW AMPLITUDE WNW FLOW
DEVELOPING AND REMAINING THRU SAT...AS A RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE
ROCKIES AND THE TROF MOVES INTO THE E.

SURFACE: THE COOL FRONT THAT MOVED THRU TODAY WILL REMAIN QUASI-
STATIONARY ACROSS NRN KS. WELL-DEFINED LOW PRES OVER KS WILL BECOME
ILL-DEFINED MON-TUE...WITH MULTIPLE WEAK LOWS...SOME OF WHICH WILL
ATTEMPT TO DEPART THE CNTRL PLAINS FOR THE MIDWEST ONLY TO MEET
THEIR DEMISE. A STRONG COOL FRONT WILL ACCOMPANY THE TROF DROPPING
OUT OF THE NRN ROCKIES AND THIS FRONT WILL CROSS THE FCST AREA TUE.
A TROF WILL FOLLOW WED WITH HIGH PRES SLIDING THRU THU. ANOTHER
CANADIAN COOL FRONT WILL SLIP THRU FRI WITH HIGH PRES SINKING INTO
THE NRN PLAINS SAT.

SOME DAILY DETAILS...

SUN NIGHT: TSTMS WILL BE ON-GOING AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS THEY
LIFT N ACROSS THE FCST AREA...PROBABLY CONGEALING INTO ONE OR TWO
MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS. THIS WILL RESULT IN MAINLY A SVR WIND/HAIL
THREAT UNTIL ROUGHLY 10 PM. STRONG FORCING WITH A VORT MAX AND LEFT
FRONT QUAD OF 100 KT UPR-LVL JET STREAK. TSTMS END FROM SW-NE AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS OR CLEARING WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN
STRATUS/FOG DEVELOPMENT WITH WEAK PRES GRAD.

MON: PATCHY FOG AND A FEW SHWRS/TSTMS COULD LINGER IN THE MORNING.
ANY SUNSHINE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT INTO ADDITIONAL SCT TSTMS. THE
ENVIRONMENT WILL BE CONSIDERABLY DIFFERENT THAN SUN AS DEEP LAYER
SHEAR WILL WEAKEN TO 10-15 KTS WITH THE UPR LOW OVERHEAD. PULSE
STORMS WILL RULE. TEMPS IN THE 70S WITH DWPTS IN THE 50S WILL RESULT
IN UP TO 1000 J/KG OF MLCAPE E OF HWY 281. SO THERE COULD BE A BRIEF
STRONG STORM WITH DIME SIZE HAIL AND G40 MPH.

TUE: DEPARTURE OF THE TROF AND ARRIVAL OF THE SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL
RESULT IN CONSIDERABLY MORE SUNSHINE. BUT A BAND OF SHWRS WILL MOVE
THRU PROBABLY DURING THE NIGHT. WE'VE PROBABLY OVER-PLAYED THE RISK
OF THUNDER AS DWPTS WILL MIX OUT INTO THE 40S TUE AFTERNOON.
INSTABILITY SHOULD BE LACKING AND WILL REQUIRE FURTHER ASSESSMENT.

WED: POSSIBLY SOME LEFTOVER MORNING SHWRS IN THE COLD SECTOR. COOLER
WITH PLENTY OF DIURNAL STRATOCU...ESPECIALLY S-CNTRL NEB.

THU-SAT: PROBABLY DRY. A COOL FRONTAL PASSAGE IS SLATED FOR FRI...
BUT SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING. THE LAST 2 EC/GFS/GEM RUNS
ARE TRYING TO OUTPUT LIGHT/SPOTTY QPF AT TIMES...BUT THERE IS NO
CONSISTENT SIGNAL LEADING TO LOW PREDICTABILITY. THE FCST DOES
CONTAIN SOME SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHWRS/TSTMS...BUT WOULD PREFER
HAVING THE FCST DRY.

BIGGEST ISSUES PERTAIN TO SMOKE ORIGINATING FROM CANADA AND THEN
THUNDERSTORMS LATER TONIGHT. THIS IS A BIG GUESS ON HOW LONG THE
SMOKE WILL LAST.
