Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
100 AM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022

...UPDATED AVIATION FORECAST DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Fri Oct 21 2022

Forecast concerns focus on continued fire weather concerns through
the weekend with a strong storm system bringing strong winds and
precipitation chances to the area Sunday into Monday. Details
pertaining to fire weather concerns will be covered in the Fire
Weather discussion below.

Fairly zonal flow remained in place across much of the central CONUS
with a steady stream of moisture being noted within the vicinity of
a strong upper-level jet moving ashore the PacNW. At the surface,
elongated high pressure was situated along and east of the
Appalachian spine with a strong surface low and associated surface
boundary backing into our northern forecast zones. This boundary,
denoted by a modest uptick in surface dew points, will gradually
stall out and lift back north as a warm front by late tonight.
Increased westerly winds behind a surface trough will keep the
boundary layer from decoupling and lead to mild overnight
temperatures as values only fall into the low 40s south to upper 40s
north.

The aforementioned upper-level jet will begin to dig as an upper-
level trough takes shape over the northern Rockies through the day
Saturday. As upper-level divergence increases invof northern
Wyoming, a strong surface low will take shape over the Northern
Plains. With responding low-level flow, winds will likely increase
as a result particularly northwest of an Ogallala to Ainsworth line.
Given continued westerly flow through much of the day, did boost
daytime highs on Saturday with h85 and h7 temperatures pushing the
90th percentile and greater via NAEFS climatology. Forecast highs
range from the upper 70s to middle 80s west to east or 15 to 25 degF
above normal with west to southwesterly winds gusting up to 35
mph.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Fri Oct 21 2022

Approaching trough will begin to phase with southern stream jet by
early Sunday. As strong height falls overspread the Central and
Northern Plains within the left exit region of the 100+ knot upper-
level jet, expect rapid cyclogenesis to develop across much of
northeast Colorado/western Nebraska/western South Dakota. NWP
guidance is in good agreement pegging a ~985 hPa surface low near
KFMM, lifting east-northeast across the forecast area during the
afternoon hours. Current spreads in low pressure centers in ensemble
guidance remain fairly low with less than 1 sigma values through the
daytime. Given expected track, will see a regime of strong CAA
across our northwest coincident with a crashing cold front and WAA
across our eastern zones though the strongest signal looks to remain
east of the area. This will play a large role in forecast high
temperatures as highs ahead of the front should remain at well-above
normal temperatures but cooler (more seasonable) behind. Latest
trends have been to slow down progression of the frontal boundary
leading to an overarching upward trend for afternoon highs. Even so,
large spreads between the NBM 25th/75th percentile values for highs
(~10-15 degF) within the CAA regime so consider this fairly low
confidence for now. For now, have highs ranging from the low 60s
northwest to middle 80s nearer central Nebraska. Given the strong
low pressure and resultant pressure gradient, will need to watch for
strong gradient winds across the area. Trends over the past 24 hours
have been to decrease peak speeds, likely due to progression of the
surface low with low center lifting north into South Dakota by
Sunday evening. Given large spreads denoted by large NBM standard
deviation values of 5-8 knots, will opt to keep inherited winds as
is given decreasing trend over past few days.

Precipitation chances will increase late Sunday afternoon into early
Monday as the surface low moves through the region. This activity
will be largely driven by mid-level CVA and low-level fgen, largely
around h85-h7. Top-down saturation will delay onset somewhat but
expect precipitation to begin reaching the surface by late afternoon
across our northwest. Forecast soundings show adequate mid-level
saturation with thermal profiles supporting at least a brief
rain/snow mix Monday morning across the western Sandhills with only
rain expected elsewhere. At this time, not expecting much for snow
accumulations owing to the transient nature of the activity,
marginal surface temperatures, and warm sub-surface temperatures.
Can't rule out some slushy accumulations on area roads for the
Monday morning drive but overall thinking any accumulations will be
limited to elevated surfaces with most snow melting as daytime highs
climb above the freezing mark under partly cloudy skies.

A second, deep trough will track out of the Southern Plains and into
the Middle Mississippi River valley in the Tuesday/Wednesday
timeframe. Latest guidance keeps the majority if not all
precipitation associated with this feature well south and east of
the local area. Lingering northwesterly flow will be the biggest
local impact which should prolong more seasonable temperatures for
early next week (highs in the 50s to low 60s degF). Mid-week will
see the area in the wake of the departing trough to the east as the
next trough takes shape across the PacNW. This will translate to
zonal and gradually to southwesterly flow aloft by Thursday/Friday.
Additional low-end precipitation chances will accompany this as
pattern with Slight Chance (< 25%) PoPs in the forecast for Thursday
and Friday. Model blend guidance doesn't hint at much for
precipitation EPS/GEFS each showing less than half their total
members depicting precipitation and mean QPF values generally less
than a half inch. Greater QPF amounts will reside southeast of the
area but substantial trends will need to occur to see this potential
reach into western Nebraska.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1258 AM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022

VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. LLWS will exist
in sections of northern Nebraska this morning including KVTN, KANW,
and KONL as winds increase aloft. Winds become gusty out of the
southwest this morning, lasting through the afternoon. Winds shift
to the south/southeast and decrease by the evening. Skies should
remain mostly clear aside from some high clouds.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 247 PM CDT Fri Oct 21 2022

Fire weather concerns will continue through the late afternoon
Friday for Fire Weather Zone 204 (Panhandle/Crescent Lake). A weak
surface low will take shape across western South Dakota, tracking
east along I-90 this evening into early Saturday. This will help
keep the pressure gradient across the area fairly compact and
translate to poor humidity recovery night with sustained west-
southwest winds in the 5 to 15 mph range and gusts closer to 20 to 25
mph. Westerly winds will fetch a plume of drier air, pushing dew
points into the low 20s and maximum overnight humidity values
generally in the 40 to 50 percent range.

For Saturday...have opted to hoist a Fire Weather Watch for the our
northwestern zones. Westerly winds will continue to prevail for much
of the daytime hours before gradually backing to the southwest by
late afternoon. Given continued downsloping flow and anomalous h85
and h7 temperatures, will again see afternoon highs push into the
upper 70s to middle 80s or roughly 15 to 25 degrees above normal for
late October. Afternoon humidity minimums will fall into the low
teens across the entire forecast area, with various NWP guidance
suggesting even this may be conservative. Forecast soundings show
mixing heights approaching 3km, tapping into a belt of stronger
westerly flow between h85 and h7 (~2-3km off the surface). Efficient
momentum transfers will push these stronger wind gusts to the
surface with areas north of I-80 and west of Highway 83 likely
seeing the highest gusts nearing 30 mph. This thinking is supported
by seeing gusts of around 30 mph even from the lower percentile
groups of the model blend. As a stronger surface low takes shape to
the north by late in the day, expect increasing southerly winds to
envelope the area. Moisture fetch with these winds will likely be
negligible so expect little improvement with humidity recovery due to
elevated winds heading into Sunday.

For Sunday...strong surface low will mature across western
Nebraska/northeast Colorado through the morning. This will promote
strong winds across the area as kinematic response to the deepening
system and constricting pressure gradient will yield strong
southwesterly flow across our southern zones. The big question that
lingers will be progression of the crashing cold front through the
day. Latest forecast calls for this front to generally split the
forecast area by mid-afternoon, with ample heating within strong
southwesterly flow ahead of this feature. Probabilities of wind
gusts exceeding 40 mph are highest south of the Platte River Valley
with afternoon highs likely reaching the low to mid 80s once again.
The current forecast combination of low humidity and strong winds
warranting fire headlines is limited to our far south (Zone 219,
possibly southern 209/210). Any south or east trend with placement
of surface low track would effectively limit the threat locally so
confidence is low to medium at best for now. Given the strong winds
and general lack of precipitation expected, will still need to
monitor the threat for elevated to near-critical fire weather
concerns even within the cooler post-frontal airmass.
