A CLOSED UPPER LOW WAS LOCATED IN MEXICO, TO THE SOUTH OF
ARIZONA. AN UPPER TROUGH WAS MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
WITH WEAK RIDGING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. AT THE SURFACE,
DEEP LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER NORTHERN ALBERTA, WITH A
SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA AND

SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/
ISSUED AT 238 PM CST SUN NOV 17 2024
TONIGHT, THE CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS FAR
SOUTHERN INTO SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO OVERNIGHT. AN ASSOCIATED
1.5 PV ANOMALY LOCATED OVER EASTERN NM/WEST TX PANHANDLE AND H3
JET MAX NEAR 110KTS WILL RESULT IN DEEP CYCLOGENESIS WITH A
DEEP SURFACE LOW FORECAST TO DEVELOP JUST EAST OF THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE. A SOUTHERLY FLOW AT 500MB WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THIS
FEATURE TO TRANSPORT GULF MOISTURE NORTHWARD. PWATS NEAR 1 INCH
WILL EXTEND TO NEAR HAYES, KANSAS BY DAYBREAK. LOWS TONIGHT
FROM MID TO UPPER 20S WEST OF HIGHWAY 61, TO THE LOWS 30S
FURTHER EAST.
MONDAY, THE UPPER CLOSED LOW WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY TILTED BY
18Z, AND FORECAST TO BE LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS. RAIN
WILL LIFT NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHWEST, CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NEBRASKA AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES, AND SPREADING NORTHWARD IN
THE AFTERNOON. ECM EFI SUGGESTS HIGHLY ANOMALOUS MOISTURE WITH
THE SYSTEM WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE AS WELL (0.8+ AND SOT OF 1+) AS
FAR WEST AS HWY 83. RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE NBM RANGING FROM
NEAR 0.20" AT LBF THROUGH ANW TO 0.80" AT BBW AND 1.15" AT ONL.
LITTLE IF ANY RAINFALL EXPECTED MUCH TO THE WEST OF AN LBF
THROUGH ANW LINE. MOST MODELS HAVE TRENDED FURTHER WEST THE
PAST DAY, IN CLOSER AGREEMENT WITH THE ECMWF. MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL FALL FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS. HIGHS FROM THE MID TO UPPER 40S WHERE THE
RAIN IS FORECAST, WITH UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S BACK ACROSS THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST.
MONDAY NIGHT, THE CLOSED LOW WILL MOVE INTO EASTERN SD AND MN,
WITH RAIN ENDING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. 850MB
TEMPERATURE REMAIN NEAR 5C DURING THE EVENING WHEN RAIN OCCURS.
BY THE TIME 850MB TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW 0C, THE PRECIPITATION
WILL HAVE ENDED. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN DURING THE EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH AND
WEST.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 238 PM CST SUN NOV 17 2024
STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY.
ON TUESDAY, A DEEP CLOSED LOW WILL MOVE INTO NORTH DAKOTA, WITH
AN UPPER TROUGH TO EXTEND SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA AND
WESTERN KANSAS. 700MB HEIGHTS WILL TIGHTEN UP TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AND HAVE A NORTHWEST FLOW WITH DEEP MIXING EXPECTED.
THE ECMWF SUPPORTS ANOMALOUS WINDS AS EFI RANGES FROM 0.7-0.9
ACROSS THE CWA AND SOT OF 0-1. THE HIGHER VALUES NOTED ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA. FORECAST WINDS 25 TO 35 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH TUESDAY, AND EVEN STRONGER
WEDNESDAY 25 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY EXCEEDING 55 MPH AT
TIMES NORTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THE POTENTIAL FOR
BRIEF GUSTS TO 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY ON WEDNESDAY.
WILL NEED TO MONITOR MODEL TRENDS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A WIND
HIGHLIGHT POSSIBLE.
SNOW SHOWERS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
AS THE DEEP UPPER LOW MOVES INTO MN. HIGHS TUESDAY AND WILL ALSO
BE COLDER IN THE LOW TO MID 40S MOST AREAS.
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY WEST OF HIGHWAY 83 DUE
TO DRY FUELS, AFTERNOON HUMIDITY 20 TO 25 PERCENT, AND STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS 25 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 55 MPH OR HIGHER
POSSIBLE.
THURSDAY THORUGH SUNDAY SHOULD SEE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FROM
THE LOW 40S TO LOW 50S (COOLEST ACROSS THE NORTHEAST). A DEEP
UPPER TROUGH WILL EXPAND ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. WITH UPPER
RIDGING ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S. THIS FAVORS THE COOLER AIRMASS
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TO AFFECT THE REGION, KEEPING THE WARMER
AIR TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST. DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 542 PM CST SUN NOV 17 2024
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA, WITH WINDS REMAINING MOSTLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE
ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. OVERNIGHT, CLOUDS BEGIN TO BUILD IN FROM
THE SOUTH, HOWEVER CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR THROUGHOUT
THE TAF PERIOD. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA
TOMORROW, BRINGING A SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL
INTRODUCE A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS,
WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE ALL RAIN. IN ADDITION TO THE CHANCE FOR
RAIN, THE LOW MAY CREATE SOME BRIEFLY ERRATIC WIND DIRECTIONS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
