AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
321 PM CST SAT FEB 24 2007
.SHORT TERM...VERY COMPLEX WEATHER EVENT UNFOLDING ACROSS OUR CWA
TODAY. PRIMARY CONCERN WILL CENTER AROUND THE POTENTIAL FOR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG WITH THE
THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHEASTERN
COUNTIES.
HEAVY SNOW AMOUNTS ARE APPEARING LESS LIKELY AS CONVECTION ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SCOURS OUT MUCH OF THE MOISTURE BEFORE IT CAN
REACH OUR AREA. THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON WAS
LOCATED WITHIN A NORTH/SOUTH ORIENTED DEFORMATION BAND THAT
WAS LOCATED JUST WEST OF OUR CWA. THERE WAS ALSO A BAND OF HEAVY
SNOW THAT RAN FROM AROUND COZAD TO BROKEN BOW. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
HAVE AT TIMES MATERIALIZED WITHIN THESE BANDS. HOWEVER...BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS HAVE YET TO MATERIALIZE ACROSS MUCH OF THE WARNED AREA
DUE PRIMARILY TO THE MOISTURE SCOURGING BY SOUTHERN AREA
THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH WINDS ON THE ORDER OF 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO
AROUND 50 MPH ARE OCCURRING ACROSS WESTERN ZONES AND WILL SPREAD
EAST WITH THE COLD FRONT. RADAR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A FEW
DEVELOPING SNOW BANDS AND NEW MODEL RUNS ARE INDICATING THE
POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER BANDING ALTHOUGH PROJECTED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
ARE LOWER. THEREFORE...HAVE REDUCED SNOWFALL TOTALS BUT WILL ALLOW
THE BLIZZARD WARNING TO CONTINUE FOR NOW AS EVEN AN INCH OR TWO OF
SNOW WILL BE ENOUGH TO CREATE NEAR WHITE OUT CONDITIONS GIVEN THE
STRONG WINDS. BLIZZARD WARNING MAY NEED TO BE DOWN GRADED OR
DROPPED ALL TOGETHER LATER THIS EVENING IF SNOW BANDING FAILS TO
MATERIALIZE BY THIS EVENING.
THE NEXT AREA OF CONCERN IS THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ACROSS
OUR SOUTHEASTERN CWA. A TORNADO WATCH WAS IN EFFECT FOR OUR
SOUTHEASTERN MOST KANSAS COUNTIES BUT THE SEVERE WEATHER IS
MATERIALIZING JUST A FEW MILES SOUTH OF OUR CWA ACCORDING TO
LATEST RADAR TRENDS. COLDER AIR IS NOW WORKING INTO EVEN OUR
SOUTHERN KANSAS COUNTIES...WHICH WILL EFFECTIVELY END THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM THREAT. THEREFORE...HAVE CANCELED OUR COUNTIES FROM
THE TORNADO WATCH.
.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WILL KEEP THIS SHORT DUE TO
ONGOING WEATHER CONCERNS. AFTER CURRENT STORM EXITS
REGION...CENTRAL PLAINS WILL EXPERIENCE ZONAL TO SHORT WAVE RIDGING
FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WORK WEEK. WARM UP MAY BE HAMPERED
SOMEWHAT BY SNOW WE GET OVER THE NEXT 18 HOURS BUT SHOULD BE AROUND
THE FREEZING MARK FOR HIGHS MONDAY AND NEARING 50 BY WED IN NORTHERN
CWA WITH WARMER TEMPS SOUTH. NEXT TROUGH APPROACHES WED GIVING US
ANOTHER SHOT OF PRECIPITATION FOR WED INTO THURS AND THIS COULD BE
RAIN OR SNOW. THAT WAVE MOVES THROUGH BUT WE REMAIN IN NW FLOW INTO
THE WEEKEND WHICH SHOULD KEEP THINGS COOL. WILL LEAVE OUT PRECIP
CHANCES AFTER THURSDAY BUT WE COULD GET A CLIPPER OR TWO IN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW.
