Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
359 AM CDT Wed Oct 12 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 354 AM CDT Wed Oct 12 2016

The main challenges in the short term period includes the current
weather (and out into the next few hours) today then temperatures
and associated non-precipitation weather hazards this evening and
overnight. Latest radar loop shows showers moving east across
north central NE and southwest to central NE. Of note, KANW
reported light snow this hour, however, it is not expected to
prevail much longer.

Latest analysis and hi-res guidance suggest the greatest
likelihood for additional precipitation at the start of the
period will be across southwest NE to central NE with decreased
chances across the northwest quad of the forecast area. Drier air
is working its way eastward at mid-levels into western NE, and
this is indicated and handled fairly well by guidance and
associated model soundings. The precipitation is expected to have
exited the forecast area by mid morning. This will be followed by
decreasing clouds mid morning to early afternoon. A unseasonably
cool day is in store for western and north central NE as surface
high pressure moves into the state and positions itself across
eastern NE by this evening. Very cool air continues to push into
NE at lower-levels this morning and this will start to lessen in
the early afternoon. Wherein 850 hPa temperatures are expected to
be around -2 to 4 C (warmest in southwest NE). Highs are expected
to be between 15 to 20 degrees below their seasonal normal values
with highs in the mid 40s to lower 50s expected this afternoon,
warmest south of and along US Route 26-Interstate 80.

Overnight, the surface high moves southeast into extreme
southeast NE. Under clear skies, widespread to areas of frost is
expected across a significant portion of the forecast area. A fly
in the ointment could be winds in terms of realizing true
widespread frost and are forecast low temperatures. Otherwise,
much of the ingredients will be in place for widespread to areas
of frost. As it is, current thinking is winds will be
sufficiently light. Thus the freeze warning given the high level
of confidence. The coldest temperatures will be in Custer, Loup,
Garfield, and Wheeler counties where sub-30 degree lows are
expected.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 354 AM CDT Wed Oct 12 2016

After the chilly start to the morning a nice recovery is expected
by Thursday afternoon as the sfc high shifts east with weak
ridging builds across the Rockies in response to trough digging
across the Pacific NW.

Ridge continues to build for Friday with 850 mb temps to surge to
around 20C across the western zones and a little cooler to the
east. Sunny skies with unseasonably warm temps expected...highs
in the 70s to low 80s. Will have to monitor western zones for
elevated fire weather conditions as min RH values fall below 20
percent and winds gust to near 25 mph.

Weak cold front pushes across the area Friday night into Saturday
with slightly cooler temp for Saturday, still above seasonal
averages thanks to little moisture to work with resulting in
mostly sunny skies. Warm air returns quickly with Sunday and
Monday to inch back up a couple of degrees.

Then another front is progged to track across the area Monday
night. A little better moisture to work with and will continue to
keep low pops in the forecast. However will note that the 00z EC
has diminished coverage of QPF compared to previous runs, with
parts of the CWA remaining dry with the passage. Agreement is for
cooler air for Tuesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1133 PM CDT Tue Oct 11 2016

Light rain is possible at the KLBF terminal into the overnight
hours. Visbys may drop as low as 6 miles as light rain impacts
the terminal through 09Z overnight. Skies will gradually clear
Wednesday morning, however expect CIGS of 2500 to 5000 FT AGL
through 16Z Wednesday morning. For the KVTN terminal: Light rain
and snow showers will continue north of the state line in
southern South Dakota overnight. This activity is expected to
remain north of the terminal overnight. Skies will remain mostly
cloudy however with CIGS ranging from 2500 to 5000 FT AGL.
