NWS Forecaster Discussion
881 fxus63 koax 212130 afdoax Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Omaha/valley NE 330 PM CST Sat Nov 21 2009 Short term...tonight through Tuesday pleasant weather continues today ahead of more active and cooler pattern developing for the week. Subjective 12z upper air analysis indicates digging upper trough in the western US...with 500 mb heat falls of 150 M centered in northern Montana. Upper ridge extended from eastern Kansas through Iowa into central ont...and upper low was also centered in northern Texas. 850mb low was developing in response to strengthening upper trough...with low centered in northern ab and cold front extending through The Rockies. Strong 850mb warm air advection was present from the High Plains into the Dakotas...with 850mb moisture tongue from eastern Texas into eastern Kansas/western MO. Surface pressure gradient was tightening over the Central Plains with surface low developing on the Saskatchewan/mb border...and secondary low in eastern Colorado. Main forecast concern lies in evolution of digging upper low and associated weather impacts Monday nt/tues...with pesky fog/drizzle/lt rain/stratus in the meantime. Low-level moisture advection that has allowed fog/stratus development the last several nights continues. With increased surface winds tonight...think dense fog will be less of a concern than the last couple nights. Ample low-level moisture should keep stratus around though...and moisture combined with some weak lift as q-vector convergence increases should allow a little drizzle. Surface dewpoints are much higher than yesterday...which will keep temperatures much higher tonight and provide a warmer start tmrw. With continued warm air advection tmrw...temperatures should easily reach into the 50s in all but perhaps the northwestern County Warning Area despite clouds. Lead wave is prognosticated to eject across the central US on sun...dragging a weak cold front into central to northestern Nebraska before it washes out as return flow develops in advance of main upper wave. With some upper lift and presence of a cold front...could see a little light rain near the front...and have tweaked probability of precipitation to adjust to possible frontal position. Should see a break in lt rain chances sun nt/Monday as initial front weakens and main upper low/cold front approaches...though with abundant low- level moisture...still expect quite a few clouds. Again...think winds should be just enough to keep dense fog at Bay. While there is still some disagreement among models regarding upper low position when it closes and depth as it dives out of the northern rockies into the Central Plains...agreement is improving and models are trending toward a common solution. GFS remains somewhat faster than other solutions...thus continue to lean toward slower ECMWF/Gem. Main difference at this point is in low- to middle-level temperature profile...which /of course/ significantly impacts the expected precipitation type. European model (ecmwf) has been warmer than GFS/Gem and appears warmer than the 18z NAM heading into Monday nt...wrapping in less cold air in wake of the upper low. For now...have trended toward a compromise solution...leaning slightly toward the colder solutions as lift associated with strong upper low should be able to induce some dynamical cooling. Thus...have introduced more snow into the grids...with some light accumulate from central to northestern Nebraska on Monday nt /current snow grids end there...but current forecast would indicate some accumulate on Tuesday daytime as well/. Have kept Monday nt temperatures close to wet-bulb values...and lowered maximum temperatures on Tuesday significantly as strong cold air advection /not to mention clouds and precipitation/ should hinder any warming. Long term...Tuesday night through Saturday medium range models showing varying degrees of difference with shortwave energy dropping out of scntrl Canada Tuesday night as well as amplifying western Continental U.S. Ridge heading into next weekend. As for the Canadian wave dropping into the lower 48 middle week...models similar advertising a cold front will penetrate the northern states but vary with respect to placement of cold airmass. The GFS is the most aggressive pushing it through the Dakotas and down the Upper Middle west/middle MS Cly region while the Gem takes a southward track just a bit father east of the region. Meanwhile the European model (ecmwf) holds off pushing the brunt of the cold airmass till about early Wednesday evening and with a track more toward the Great Lakes region. For now will opt to temper adjusting temperatures downward on Wednesday. Nevertheless...enough cause to to include small chance for rain or snow Tuesday night with strong dynamic forcing coming in close vicinity of the County Warning Area. Otherwise...dry conditions with above normal temperatures on tap the rest of the forecast period when a building upper ridge eventually envelops the plains. && Aviation... taf sites kofk/koma/klnk 18z tafs Generally VFR conditions can be expected through 00z...however occasional MVFR ceilings near fl025 will affect eastern Nebraska at times. MVFR to IFR ceilings are expected to spread north from eastern Kansas to klnk...koma and kofk between 00z and 06z...with deteriorating conditions expected after 06z. Ceilings below fl010 and occasional visibilities below 3sm in fog are likely between 08z and 18z Sunday. && Oax watches/warnings/advisories... NE...none.
