AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
330 AM CST FRI DEC 29 2006

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT PUSHING DOWN FROM WRN SD INDICATED ON MSAS ANALYSIS THIS
MORNING. LOCAL ENHANCEMENT TO THE SFC WINDS NEAR UNR AS PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHENS SOME IN THAT VICINITY. FRONT APPEARS TO HAVE SLOWED
IN THE LAST COUPLE HOURS AS IT MEETS RESISTANCE FROM WAA SURGE
FURTHER S AS INDICATED BY AREA PROFILERS. LARGE AREA OF PRECIP
DEVELOPING/EXPANDING NWD ACROSS ERN CO AND WRN KS. WRN SIDE OF THIS
SHIELD REPORTING -SN WITH SOME ZR ON THE EAST SIDE. THIS IS A LARGE
AREA OF PRECIP AND WILL MOVE INTO SWRN NEB IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
EXPECTING THIS TO FALL MAINLY IN THE FORM OF ZR INITIALLY...MIXING
WITH SN LATER IN THE MORNING. UPPER LOW SITUATED OVER ERN AZ ON
EVENING UA ANALYSIS. HEIGHT FALLS MINIMAL IN THE DATA AVAILABLE
SUGGESTING IT HAS REACHED ITS SRN EXTENT. LIGHTNING ALSO INDICATED
AS FAR N AS SWRN KS.

&&

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...THROUGH SUNDAY...
AREA OF PRECIP WILL INCREASE ACROSS SW NEB THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS. BUFR SOUNDINGS SUGGEST IT MAY BE IN THE FORM OF ZR...POSSIBLY
MIXING WITH SN AS MENTIONIED PREV. LIGHTNING EVIDENT IN IR PICS IN
SWRN KS ATTM AGREES WITH DECENT 700-500 NEG EPV VALUES IN THAT SAME
AREA. THE NAM DOES PUSH THESE UP INTO SWRN NEB THROUGH THE MORNING
AND IF SOME WEAK UPRIGHT CONVECTION OCCURS THEN IP COULD MIX IN AS
WELL. 06Z NAM BRINGS MORE QPF BACK INTO THE WRN AREAS OF THE CWA
WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE SYSTEM
AND THE MORE MERIDIONAL NATURE OF THE CLOUD ELEMENTS EARLY THIS
MORNING.

THE ULTIMATE PROGRESSION OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS DIFICULT DUE TO THE
NUMBER OF PIECES THAT ROTATE OUT OF IT. THE WARM SURGES AHEAD OF
EACH SHORT WAVE IS COUNTERED BY THE WRN HIGH PLAINS BARRIER JET
BRINGING SLIGHTLY DRIER AND COLDER AIR INTO THE WRN PORTION OF THE
CWA. THEREFORE...WEST OF A LINE FROM ABOUT VTN-OGA...P-TYPE THROUGH
THE EVENT IS GENERALLY ALL SN. BUT AS YOU GO EAST THE TRANSITION
ZONES BECOMES FLUID THU THE WEEKEND. CLIMATOLOGICALLY...ONCE PRECIP
TURNS TO SN IN WRN NEB IT WONT USUALLY CHANGE BACK TO ZR.
HOWEVER...THE SLOW PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM MAKES THE ANOMOLOUS
SOLUTIONS OF THE MODELS IN THIS ASPECT BELIEVABLE. IN ADDITION...THE
WELL DEVELOPED TROWAL DURING THE DAY SATURDAY LEAD TO VERY STRONG
INFLUX OF DEEP MOISTURE AND LIFT WHICH WILL MAKE THE EVENT A QPF
RICH EVENT. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS DAYS...PROGGED PWS ARE +2SD
ABOVE THE MEAN FOR DEC.

STRONG FGEN/UPGLIDE ACROSS WRN NEB ON SAT INTO SAT NIGHT SHOULD
ALLOW SNOW TOTALS TO GROW RAPIDLY. MAY HAVE TO FINE TUNE CHANGE BACK
TO ALL SNOW IN LATER FCSTS.

&&

.LONG TERM DISCUSSION...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
MODELS SOMEWHAT IN AGREEMENT IN A GENERAL LONG WAVE TROF DEVELOPING
IN THE WRN CONUS BY THE END OF THE WEEK...BUT HAVE SOME BIG
DIFFERENCES IN HOW THEY GET THERE. IN GENERAL...SHOULD BE DRY AFTER
MAIN SRN PLAINS LOW EXITS THE REGION. TEMPS WILL BE HARD TO FIGURE
SINCE REMAINING SNOW DEPTH WILL PLAY A HUGE FACTOR. NO CHANGES WERE
MADE IN DAYS 5 THRU 7.

&&

.AVIATION DISCUSSION...
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE THROUGH THE DAY. MIXED PHASE
PRECIPITATION WILL PLAY A PART IN THE ERN SECTIONS OF TWB 098 AND
264. CEILINGS AOB 1000 FT WILL BE THE NORM THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY.
VSBYS WILL FLUCUATE BASED ON PRECIP TYPE AND INTENSITY...BUT WILL
LIKELY BE LOWEST IN THE SRN ROUTES THIS MORNING.
