AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
348 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2016

SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SURFACE LOW IN WESTERN KANSAS WITH A
WARM FRONT EXTENDING TO THE EAST ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS
THIS AFTERNOON. NORTH OF THE FRONT WINDS ARE FROM THE EAST AND TO
THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT WINDS ARE FROM THE SOUTH. SATELLITE IS
STARTING TO SHOW A FEW CUMULUS STARTING TO DEVELOP.

THE UPPER LOW IN THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS SENDS THE FIRST UPPER
WAVE INTO THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THE
FRONT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS IS EXPECTED TO LIFT TO THE
NORTH DURING THE EVENING. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP IN THE
VICINITY OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA
DURING THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE MUCAPE IS OVER
3000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH BULK
SHEAR OF 40 TO 50KTS. EXPECT THERE TO BE LARGE HAIL AND STRONG
WINDS AS THE MAIN THREAT...BUT WITH THE FRONT LIFTING THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...THERE COULD BE ISOLATED
TORNADOES AS WELL. THE TIMING OF THE STORMS HAS BEEN FAIRLY
CONSISTENT WITH THE SHORT TERM MODELS THAT IT WILL BE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. THE MUCAPE DIMINISHES FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS EVENING AND
EVEN THOUGH SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD END BY MIDNIGHT. THE BEST
CHANCES OVERNIGHT WILL BE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES TO THE EAST ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA ON
MONDAY.THERE COULD BE A FEW LINGERING THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY
MORNING. THE NEXT WAVE FROM THE LOW MOVES INTO THE AREA MONDAY
AFTERNOON. MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AS THIS WAVE MOVES THROUGH. THE MUCAPE IS OVER
4000 J/KG MONDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THE BULK SHEAR IS ONLY AROUND 20
KTS. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE...BUT THAT
WOULD BE MAINLY TO THE EAST OF HIGHWAY 281.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 346 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2016

OVERVIEW...THERE IS A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY EVENING/TUESDAY NIGHT...AND A FEW OF THESE
REMAINING SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY WILL LIKELY BE DRY. WE WILL CARRY SOME LOW END CHANCES OF
RAIN SHOWERS FOR NEXT WEEKEND. AT THIS POINT AM NOT VERY IMPRESSED
WITH NEXT WEEKENDS RAIN CHANCES AND ODDS ARE CURRENTLY BETTER THAT
WE WILL BE DRY...BUT WORTH KEEPING AN EYE ON. TUESDAY COULD BE THE
WARMEST DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S...WHILE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
WILL SEE HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. WE DO EXPECT A COOL
DOWN BY NEXT WEEKEND WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 60S AND CAN NOT RULE OUT
SOME 50 DEGREE HIGHS IN SOME SPOTS BY SUNDAY.

MONDAY NIGHT...MOST OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON
SHOULD QUICKLY SLIDE EAST OUT OF OUR FORECAST AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
GIVEN INSTABILITY AND SHEAR PROFILE CAN NOT RULE OUT A FEW SEVERE
STORMS...BUT THE BETTER CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE MONDAY
AFTERNOON.

TUESDAY...THE NEXT UPPER LOW WILL BE TRACKING EAST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL SEND A COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST ACROSS
NEBRASKA THROUGH THE DAY AND COULD HELP TO INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS BY
LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE FORCING FROM THE
UPPER TROUGH MOVE IN. THERE IS ENOUGH INSTABILITY EARLY ON IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO GET A FEW STRONGER STORMS AND CAN NOT RULE
OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM. RAINFALL COULD BE RATHER WIDESPREAD
WITH SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER 1 INCH CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.

WEDNESDAY...INSTABILITY IS LARGELY USED UP BY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND
WILL JUST CALL FOR PRIMARILY RAIN AS THE SYSTEM EXITS OUR EASTERN
FORECAST AREA. IT WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER BEHIND DEPARTING SYSTEM
WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...A GOOD CHANCE OF BEING DRY BETWEEN SYSTEMS
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...AN UPPER SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES AND COOLER AIR WILL SPILL DOWN OUT OF CANADA INTO THE PLAINS.
HIGHS COULD FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S AND 60S. THERE IS AT LEAST A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SOME RAIN...BUT WITH THE AIRMASS BEING OUT OF
CANADA THE DEWPOINTS ARE RATHER LOW AND MOISTURE IS LACKING.
THEREFORE...AM NOT VERY CONFIDENT IN WEEKEND RAIN CHANCES AT THIS
TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1207 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2016

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE PERIOD WILL BE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. THE
BEST CHANCE WILL BE EARLY THIS EVENING...BUT THERE ARE SOME
CHANCES BEFORE AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WITH THE
THUNDERSTORMS THERE COULD BE SOME MVFR CONDITIONS.
