AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
359 AM CST SUN NOV 29 2009

.DISCUSSION...
TEMPERATURES ARE THE MAIN FOCUS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS LEADING
UP TO A STRONG COLD FRONT TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE...CENTERED OVER
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES...IS BUILDING IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING COLD
FRONT...ALREADY THRU MOST OF KANSAS. POST FRONTAL STRATUS HOLDING
ON OVER CENTRAL NEB...HOWEVER CLEARING SKIES ARE SPREADING
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA...PER IR IMAGERY. SOME MID CLOUDS
DRIFTING SOUTHEAST AROUND THE S DAKOTA/WY/MT BORDER. OTHERWISE ALL
THE ACTIVE WEATHER OVER THE FAR WEST AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
CONUS.

FOR TODAY...NAM PICKING UP WELL ON CLOUDS THIS MORNING SO HAVE
FOLLOWED RH LEVELS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO CLEAR THINGS OUT...WITH
MID CLOUDS SLOWLY DISSIPATING AS SUBSIDENCE FROM HIGH PRESSURE
STRENGTHENS. GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND HAVE BLENDED FOR
AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE 40S. BY TONIGHT HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES TO
THE SOUTHWEST...WITH LIGHT NW WINDS AND CHILLY TEMPS WITH LITTLE
TO NO CLOUDS. BY MONDAY A WEAK RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE
ROCKIES...AND WILL BRING A RETURN OF 50S TO THE AREA.

NEXT CONCERN WILL BE THE NEXT ARCTIC COLD FRONT EXPECTED TUESDAY.
TIMING STILL A CONCERN...AS MODELS DIFFER FROM EARLY TUESDAY...TO
A MIDDAY PASSAGE. HIGHS ON TUESDAY LIKELY TO BE EARLY IN THE
DAY...ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTH...WITH FALLING TEMPS IN THE
AFTERNOON. DRY AIR IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE...AS MAIN LOW TRACKS
WELL TO THE NORTH. CONSIDERABLY COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT AS
HIGHS STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 30S. LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE
TO VARY GREATLY WITH NO CHANGES MADE TO THE WEEKEND.
