AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
335 PM CDT MON MAR 28 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT MON MAR 28 2016

H5 HAND ANALYSIS THIS MORNING HAS A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN
ACROSS THE CONUS. A TROUGH WAS PRESENT ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES...SWD TO THE CAROLINAS. RIDGING WAS PRESENT ACROSS THE
CENTRAL CONUS FROM WESTERN NEBRASKA...NORTH TO SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA.
WEST OF THIS FEATURE...A CLOSED LOW WAS PRESENT ACROSS THE PANHANDLE
OF IDAHO WITH A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE NOTED OVER FAR NORTHEASTERN
CALIFORNIA. HT FALLS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS FEATURE WERE MOST
PRONOUNCED AT RENO AND MEDFORD OREGON WHERE 100-120 METER FALLS WERE
NOTED. FURTHER EAST...70-90 METER FALLS WERE NOTED AT ELKO NEVADA
AND SALT LAKE CITY. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE WAS PRESENT
ACROSS THE OZARKS WITH A DEVELOPING SURFACE TROUGH NOTED ALONG THE
FRONT RANGES OF COLORADO...WYOMING...ALONG WITH THE WESTERN NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE. SRLY WINDS HAVE INCREASED THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH HAS LED
TO A DECENT SHOT OF WARM AIR ADVECTION AND TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
TO UPPER 60S. SKIES WERE MAINLY CLEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME
INVADING HIGH CLOUDINESS CROSSING THE CENTRAL AND SRN ROCKIES IN
ADVANCE OF THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN ROCKIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT MON MAR 28 2016

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES THROUGH TUESDAY ARE TEMPERATURES AND
PRECIPITATION. THE H5 RIDGE CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST ACROSS
NEBRASKA... FOLLOWED BY A DEEPENING UPPER LOW AND DEVELOPING LEE
SIDE SURFACE LOW.

THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT... EXPECT WINDS TO STAY ELEVATED WITH THE
SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT NOT RELAXING AND A LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPING
AFTER DARK. BOUNDARY LAYER WILL REMAIN WELL MIXED THROUGH EARLY
EVENING AS MID LEVEL CLOUDS REMAIN WELL WEST OF THE AREA AND MOST
MODELS SHOWING H85 WINDS NEAR 20-25KTS. AROUND 06Z... THE RAP IS THE
STRONGEST WITH THE LLJ WITH SPEEDS APPROACHING 50KTS OVER THE
SANDHILLS. MODEST MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL OCCUR LATER THIS EVENING
WITH SOUTH/SOUTHEAST FLOW. DEW POINTS ARE ECLIPSING 30F IN FAR
SOUTHERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN KANSAS AS OF 20Z. CONTINUED THE
CHANCE OF THUNDER FOR AREAS ALONG/EAST OF HWY 83 OVERNIGHT... BUT
PUSHED THE POPS BACK UNTIL AFTER 09Z. HRRR KEEPING THE AREA DRY
THROUGH 08Z... AND SOME NCAR WRF MEMBERS SHOWING DEVELOPMENT TOWARD
09Z OVER SOUTHERN NEBRASKA. NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS AT KLBF...
KBBW...AND KONL SUPPORT AN ELEVATED SHOWER OR STORM WITH STEEP LAPSE
RATES AND LIFT ABOVE THE INVERSION. NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE WEATHER
WITH CAPE GENERALLY UNDER 500J/KG AND POSITIVE LIFTED INDEX... BUT
LLJ WILL RESULT IN APPRECIABLE SHEAR. DUE TO INCREASED
MOISTURE/CLOUD COVER... BREEZY CONDITIONS... AND H85 TEMPS HOVERING
AROUND 9C... WENT WITH A MAV/MET BLEND OF MIN TEMPS OF UPPER 30S
PANHANDLE AND NEAR 40 ELSEWHERE.

TUESDAY... TRENDED MAX TEMPS TOWARD THE MAV DUE TO STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING SFC LOW. GFS IS MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH
THE H85 THERMAL RIDGE WITH TEMPS NEAR 20C AT KIML AND 13C AT KVTN...
ECS A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH WITH THERMAL AXIS... AND NAM SOUTHWEST OF
THE AREA RESULTING IN 10C AT KIML AND 6C AT KVTN. HAVE COOLEST HIGHS
NORTH CENTRAL DUE TO COOLER H85 TEMPS AND POSSIBLY SOME OF THE
MORNING CONVECTION LASTING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. STRONGER MID LEVEL
FGEN FORCING ENTERS THE PANHANDLE AFTER 18Z... SO EXPANDED POPS FROM
KIML TO KVTN. MENTIONED THUNDER WITH MUCAPE UP TO 1000J/KG... 0-6KM
SHEAR NEAR 45KTS... AND LIFTED INDEX NEAR 0. NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS
AT KAIA AND KOGA SHOW SUFFICIENT LIFT IN THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS...
AND IS CONSISTENT WITH ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AT 295K AND 300K. MOISTURE
ADVECTION ALSO CONTINUES WITH MIXING RATIOS NEARING 8G/KG AND DEW
POINTS PASSING 45F BY 21Z.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT MON MAR 28 2016

MID RANGE...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THE MAIN
FORECAST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND THE
THREAT FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW IN THE NORTHWESTERN SANDHILLS...AND
NORTHEASTERN PANHANDLE OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. FOR
TUESDAY EVENING...ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL FLOW NORTH INTO
THE FORECAST AREA WITH DEW POINTS REACHING THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND
50...BRIEFLY ALONG AND EAST OF A MERRIMAN TO OGALLALA LINE. BY
MIDNIGHT...THE H5 LOW WILL BEGIN TO EXIT SERN WYOMING INTO THE NEBR
PANHANDLE. ALONG AND EAST OF THE APPG LOW...ELEVATED INSTABILITY
WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT AS WELL AS MID LEVEL WAA AND LIFT. LIFT WILL
WILL REMAIN STRONGEST ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA INVOF OF THE H7
FRONT...SO WILL CONTINUE LIKELY MENTION OF POPS. WILL CONTINUE TO
MENTION THUNDER TUESDAY NIGHT AS ELEVATED INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO
BE NOTED PER NAM AND GFS FCST NEGATIVE H850 LIFTED INDICES. ON
WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL EMERGE EAST ENTERING THE
WESTERN CWA...THEN EXITING THE EASTERN CWA TOWARD THE END OF THE
DAY. THERE ARE STILL SOME DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO COLD AIR ON
THE BACK SIDE OF THE H5 LOW AND THIS TIES IN DIRECTLY TO SNOW
POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY. THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE THE COLDEST SOLN...WITH
THE ECMWF WARMEST AND THE NAM A COMPROMISE. ALSO...THE 12Z
GFS...AND00Z ECMWF FROM LAST NIGHT...LIFT THE H5 LOW IN A
NORTHEASTERLY DIRECTION...WHILE THE NAM LIFTS THIS MORE EAST.
NATIONAL GUIDANCE FAVORS A BLEND OF THE 12Z GFS/00Z ECMWF SOLN WHICH
WAS FAVORED. THIS SOLN GENERATES THE BULK OF ACCUMULATING SNOW
ACROSS THE NERN PANHANDLE AND FAR NORTHWESTERN CHERRY COUNTY.
UTILIZING A 8-1 SNOW TO WATER RATIO SINCE TEMPS HOVER IN THE LOWER
30S...YIELDS 3 TO 6 INCHES ACROSS NORTHERN SHERIDAN AND FAR
NORTHWESTERN CHERRY COUNTY. WITH THIS IN MIND...DECIDED TO HOIST A
WINTER STORM WATCH FOR SHERIDAN COUNTY FOR WEDNESDAY. FURTHER
EAST...A LATER CHANGEOVER ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA WILL FACILITATE
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER ACCUMS WITH AROUND 1 INCH TO 2 INCHES EXPECTED
ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 2. FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST...THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE AFTERNOON...WILL GIVE WAY TO A COLD RAIN WEDS NIGHT.
WITH RESPECT TO SEVERE POTENTIAL WEDS AFTERNOON...THE NAM12 REMAINS
THE FARTHEST WEST WITH ITS DRYLINE WEDS AFTN AND BY 00Z
THURSDAY...IS JUST OFF TO THE EAST OF THE CWA. THE NAM SOLN
INITIATES CONVECTION ALONG A DRYLINE BULGE...JUST TO THE EAST OF
WHEELER COUNTY LATE WEDS AFTN. SWRLY H5 WINDS WILL CARRY THIS AWAY
FROM THE FORECAST AREA...SO NO SEVERE THREAT IS ANTICIPATED ATTM.

THE THREAT FOR RAIN AND SNOW...WILL END OVERNIGHT IN THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN CWA WITH THE BEST CHANCES FOR LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS BEING IN
THE NORTHERN CWA. IN THESE AREAS...1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW IS
POSSIBLE. ON THURSDAY...A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE...WITH MUCH COLDER AIR
ALOFT...WILL DROP SOUTH INTO NORTHERN AND EASTERN NEBRASKA. WITH
SURFACE HEATING AND STEEP LAPSE RATES EXPECTED THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...WE HAVE A GOOD THREAT FOR RAIN OR SNOW SHOWER
DEVELOPMENT. THIS MENTION WAS CONTINUED WITH THE NEW FORECAST
PACKAGE. AS FOR HIGHS THURSDAY...THEY WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF
THE 40S AND WILL PROBABLY REMAIN IN THE UPPER 30S OVER NORTHERN
NEBRASKA.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...ON FRIDAY...A SECONDARY ARCTIC FRONT
WILL BACK INTO NORTHERN AND EASTERN NEBRASKA. H85 TEMPS WILL RANGE
FROM 2C IN THE SOUTHWEST...TO -4C IN THE NORTHEASTERN CWA. HIGHS
WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 40S IN THE NORTHEAST...TO AROUND 50 IN THE
SOUTHWEST. ARCTIC AIR WILL PUSH INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND UPPER
MIDWEST SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. ATTM...THE MODELS DO KEEP THIS AIR
NORTHEAST OF THE AREA...SO HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 50S/60S THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. LOCATIONS IN THE FAR NORTHEASTERN CWA MAY BE VULNERABLE TO
THIS ARCTIC AIR BACKING IN FROM THE NORTHEAST...AND WILL HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

&&

ISSUED AT 1225 PM CDT MON MAR 28 2016

THE MAIN AVIATION WEATHER CONCERN THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON IS
