Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hastings NE 717 AM CDT Sun May 26 2019 ...Aviation Update... .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday night) Issued at 615 AM CDT Sun May 26 2019 Shaking things up a bit this morning here, with this "short term" section addressing the next 72 hours (instead of just the first 24). As a result, this forecaster will sacrifice some of the usual "finer details" of the first 24 hours, while hopefully giving a bit better (albeit somewhat general) overview of our various severe thunderstorm risks over the coming 3 days, as this is BY FAR the main concern on our table. Before continuing, for those wanting a more concise/plain-language run-down of our hazardous weather expectations over the next 3 days, please refer to our latest Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWOGID). A quick look at current/recent weather as of 530 AM: Overall, our coverage area (CWA) got through Saturday evening/early this morning fairly unscathed thus far. While we had a smattering of strong storms here and there (especially in KS zones), we issued no official Warnings. Hydro-wise, several fairly random/blotchy pockets of mainly our KS zones received heavy rainfall of 1-2" last evening, but none of these areas were very large/widespread, and the one Flood Advisory that was issued has since expired. Otherwise, it has been an overall-clearer-than- expected night in most areas, as low temps are on track to bottom out mid-upper 50s most areas, except for cooler upper 40s to around 50 far north. Early-AM breezes are averaging easterly at 5-10 MPH, as most of the area resides slightly north of a somewhat ill-defined frontal boundary stretched generally southwest- northeast across KS. Headline-wise, the Flash Flood Watch for all 6 of our KS counties has been extended 24 hours through Monday AM to account for additional heavy rainfall (generally 1-2") expected mainly this evening/tonight. Considered adding a few of our mainly far southeastern Neb zones to the Watch as well, but in collab with WFO OAX opted to defer to next few shifts to possibly add some counties north of the state line. For sure, our KS zones are overall-most-saturated from recent rainfall. Now at least briefly discussing each day/night forecast period through Tues night... Early this AM: Right off the bat these next few/several hours, we have two main concerns: 1) An areas of strong (but mostly sub-severe) storms is currently tracking east-northeast through central KS, and could possibly move into/expand into our KS zones over the next few hours. At this time, not expecting anything severe this morning, but with decent instability, at least small hail cannot be ruled out. 2) Yet again, at least limited parts of the CWA have been experiencing patchy fog this morning, this time primarily southwest of a Lexington-Beloit KS line. Fortunately, any dense fog (visibility 1/4 mile or less) looks to be very limited in scope, and mainly focused slightly southwest of our CWA. As a result, no formal Advisory is planned at this time. Today into tonight: All eyes will be on our next decent chance of severe storms and heavy rainfall. Most of the day, most of our CWA will be storm- free, with only steady east-southeast breezes and probably a fair amount of low-level cloud cover gradually developing/spreading in from southwest-to-northeast. High temps lowered slightly mainly in southwest zones to account for this, with highs aimed from low-mid 70s southwest to upper 70s to near 80 northeast. Despite considerable cloud cover this afternoon, increasing low-level moisture and instability will build northward as the front to our south lifts north as a warm front. Could easily see at least slightly elevated storms develop almost anywhere through the day, with mainly a marginally-severe hail threat. However, based on a number of higher-res/short term models, our "main show" will likely arrive very late this afternoon and especially this evening into tonight, as the next low-amplitude shortwave trough ejects northeast into western portions of Neb/KS. There is little doubt that the initial "explosion" of convection should take place slightly west-through-southwest of our CWA, but with various clusters of storms then rapidly tracking east-northeast into our domain, especially after 7 PM. This should be a fairly volatile environment, with the RAP13 indicating 3000+ J/kg mixed-layer CAPE in the presence of 40+kt of deep-layer shear early this evening. Odds are that most of our convection will take on a somewhat "messy" cluster/complex mode, with large hail/damaging winds and heavy rain the main threats. However, the tornado threat is certainly non-zero, especially in southern zones this evening as low-level shear increases. However, current expectations is that any possible tornado threat would be more from "kinks" along line segments, and less-so from isolated/discrete supercells. As earlier mentioned, Flash Flood Watch goes through the night for our KS zones, where the overall-highest potential for at least 1-2" of rain resides. Storms should gradually end/move out from west-to-east overnight, with most areas dry/storm-free by sunrise. Monday-Monday night: Compared to today and Tuesday, the severe storm risk for Monday (Memorial Day) seems to be a bit less, but is not zero either by any means. Based on a consensus of various models, the effective west-east front should lift to near the northern edge of our CWA, meaning that most of the day will be dry, warm and a bit breezy from the south (especially KS zones), with high temps climbing into the low-mid 80s most areas. However, by the evening hours (and perhaps a bit earlier if the front does not move north as quickly/as far as currently expected), especially our northern zones could see another round of severe storms. Again, mainly a hail/wind/heavy rain threat. The tornado threat would be non-zero, but likely less-favored the deeper into the evening storms might develop. Still plenty of details to iron out here, even though this is only 36-ish hours away. Tuesday-Tuesday night: In short, we are getting a bit more concerned about severe storm potential than it appeared 1-2 days ago. In short, this is because the main/primary upper level low pressure system (and its associated surface low and dryline/cold front) are expected to sweep across our CWA during mainly the afternoon-early evening hours. Although far from a certainty, pattern recognition from previous events suggests that at least isolated, perhaps discrete supercell storms could erupt near-to- east of Hwy 281 along the surface front in the afternoon and track steadily east- northeast, with all hazards possible (including tornadoes). Compared to today-Monday, this would seem to be a bit "earlier show", mainly something in the 3-8 PM time frame, although this is certainly subject to some modification. As of now, the official SPC Day 3 outlook barely brushes our extreme east with an Enhanced Risk, but would not be surprised to see the Enhanced creep westward into more of our area as it gets closer. Once the main surface front clears our eastern zones Tuesday evening, this should EFFECTIVELY AND FINALLY END our multi-day barrage of severe storms. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday daytime through Saturday) Issued at 615 AM CDT Sun May 26 2019 General overview of this 4-day period: While not completely-quiet/tranquil by any means, this time frame will be considerably less-active in terms of thunderstorms and rainfall than today-Tuesday will be. In fact, the vast majority of Wednesday daytime-Thursday night should be rain-free, which should be welcome news for most folks reading this. Unfortunately for those who might be wanting a truly-prolonged dry stretch, at least small/modest chances for rain/thunderstorms will be back in the picture for Friday-Saturday, although right now this activity appears to be more isolated-scattered in nature (versus widespread). Given the time of year, we certainly cannot rule out a few severe storms Fri-Sat as early indications suggest a decent return of instability, but it's FAR too soon to focus much on this with everything going on in the shorter-term. Temperature overview: Starting off these periods, Wednesday clearly looks like the overall-coolest day of the next week, as breezy west-northwest winds usher in cooler/drier air behind the last departing low pressure system associated with our ongoing super-active weather pattern. Right now, highs Wednesday are only aimed upper 60s to around 70. Beyond that, a gradual warming trend gets underway, with highs generally back up around 80 in most areas Friday- Saturday. As for overnight lows, most nights should bottom out in the 50s, with Wed night/Thurs AM looking like the overall-coolest with upper 40s-low 50s. Changes from previous forecast: Overall, very few of note. However, for those watching closely, Wednesday daytime is no longer a completely-dry forecast CWA-wide, as especially the morning hours could feature some pesky/fairly light rain showers wrapping around the backside of the departing low, but this currently looks to mainly affect only far north/northeast zones. As already mentioned, the VAST MAJORITY of the Wednesday daytime-Thursday night time frame should be dry (a solid 36+ hour stretch). && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 12Z Monday) Issued at 717 AM CDT Sun May 26 2019 General overview: As already evidenced by the lack of low stratus clouds starting off right away this morning (compared to expectations 6 hours ago), confidence is fairly shaky on the the onset and persistence of sub-VFR ceilings. Based on the latest progs from especially the RAP13 model, still have fairly high confidence that MVFR ceiling will overtake both KGRI/KEAR at some point early-mid afternoon, and could easily persist much of the remainder of the period. Have geared the TAFs this direction, but low-level mixing effects from thunderstorms could easily result in periods of VFR as well. Speaking of thunderstorms, while isolated/hit-and miss activity is possible today, a MUCH better chance for thunderstorms arrives this evening into tonight (especially around/after 02-03Z). Storms could be severe, with wind gusts around 50+KT and hail the main threats. However, because this is still beyond the first 12 hours of the valid period, have refrained from adding any prevailing or TEMPO groups, and have continued with a generic "vicinity" (VCTS) until it gets closer in time. Wind-wise, outside of any yet-to- be-resolved convective influences, direction should generally transition from easterly to southeasterly through the period, with speeds this morning mainly under 10KT, while speeds during the afternoon pick up a bit with gust potential 15-20KT. In closing, please stay tuned to later TAF issuances today (especially 00Z issuance) for more details regarding timing/intensity of evening/overnight thunderstorms. && .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

This morning, there is at least a slight chance of thunderstorms across most of the outlook area, but with the better chances focused within north central Kansas. A few morning storms could be strong enough to produce small hail and gusty winds. Also this morning, patchy fog could reduce visibility below 1 mile, especially southwest of a line from Lexington Nebraska to Beloit Kansas. Better chances for more widespread thunderstorms arrive late this afternoon into tonight, and there is a good chance that some will be severe. The entire outlook area is under at least a Slight Risk of severe weather, with much of the southwest half of the area under an Enhanced Risk. The main threats with severe storms will be hail to around 2 inches in diameter, damaging winds to around 70 MPH, and perhaps a few tornadoes, especially within the Enhanced Risk area. Locally heavy rainfall is also likely, with areas particularly near and south of the Nebraska-Kansas border most favored to receive generally 1 to 2 inches. A Flash Flood Watch continues through tonight for north central Kansas. Finally, a Flood Advisory remains in effect today for northeastern Greeley County, due to possible flooding along the Cedar River. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. A very active weather pattern will keep several thunderstorm chances in the forecast Monday through Tuesday night, and then again Thursday night through Saturday. There is a decent chance that some storms will be severe, especially Monday evening, and then again Tuesday afternoon and evening. On Monday evening, the highest chances for severe storms currently appears to favor Nebraska portions of the area. On Tuesday afternoon and evening, the most favored area for possible severe storms should focus near and especially east of the Highway 281 corridor. On both Monday and Tuesday, large hail and damaging winds will be the main severe weather threats, but especially Tuesday afternoon and evening will need monitored for the possibility of a few tornadoes as well. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is likely late this afternoon into tonight in various parts of the outlook area, and any reports of severe weather and possible flooding are always appreciated. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings Pfannkuch
