AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
214 PM CST TUE FEB 14 2006

.DISCUSSION...
AFTER TAKING THE SLIGHT SOUTHWARD TREND YESTERDAY THE NAM HAS BEGUN
TRENDING NORTH AND NOW THE AXIS OF HEAVY SNOWFALL IS SHIFTING INTO
SOUTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE 12Z RUN OF BOTH THE
GFS AND NAM SHOWED SEVERAL COUNTIES BORDERLINE WITH ADZY CONDITIONS.
THESE COUNTIES COULD BE DROPPED FROM THE WATCH. ONCE THE REST OF THE
18Z MODEL RUN...THE FCST CAN BE REWORKED AND ADJUSTMENTS CAN BE
MADE TO ACCOMMODATE THE LATEST RUN. POPS CAN BE DOWNGRADED SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 92 TO CHC POPS VS LIKELY. A FEW COUNTIES COULD BE DROPPED
FROM THE WATCH.

THE REST OF THE SET UP LOOKS FAIRLY CONSISTENT. SNOW STARTS TONIGHT
ACROSS THE NW AND SPREADS EAST ON WEDS MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 2. FREEZING DRIZZLE AND CHC SNOW TAKE OVER THE AREA SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 92. TEMPERATURES ARE STEADY OR FALLING THROUGH FRIDAY AS
ARCTIC AIR SPREADS SOUTHWARD.

WINDS HAVE COME UP TO NEAR BREEZY CATEGORY ON WEDS SO ANY WATCH WILL
BE CONVERTED TO A WINTER STORM WARNING. WITH THE NORTHWARD TREND...
THE WATCH ACROSS AREA EAST OF HIGHWAY 83 WILL BE HELD UP. THE NEXT
SHIFT CAN UP OR DOWNGRADE THAT.

TEMPERATURES HAVE CONTINUED TO BE TRENDED LOWER. ITS LOOKING MORE
LIKELY FOR HIGHS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY TO BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS NORTH
OF HWY 2. THE NEW FWC GUIDANCE SHOWS A MORNING HIGH OF 4F AT KVTN.
A SLIGHT DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT TO MIN TEMPS BEEN MADE WITH LOWS 0 TO
-10F ACROSS AREAS OF ANTICIPATED SNOW COVER. THE NAM IS SUGGESTING
CLEARING 12Z FRIDAY AM. THIS COULD BE PREMATURE AS THE 1050MB ARCTIC
HIGH IS STILL CENTERED OVER NORTH DAKOTA AND SPREADS OVER NEBRASKA
FRIDAY NIGHT SUGGESTING 12Z SATURDAY COULD BE -10F OR COLDER NORTH OF
HWY 2.

THE GFS SHOWS A SECOND ARCTIC AIR MASS DROPPING EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WARM AIR ADVECTION AND AN EXTENSIVE UPPER LEVEL FETCH OF MOISTURE
FROM THE PACIFIC SUGGEST ANOTHER CHC OF SNOW AND MORE COLD WEATHER
FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
