What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Apr 12, 3:12 AM CDT, 12 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 3:12 AM CDT, 12 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
312 AM CDT THU APR 12 2007
..DISCUSSION...FOCUS IS ON THE APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM. TODAY WILL
BE IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING BEHIND THE DEPARTING
SYSTEM TO THE EAST...AND THE NEXT APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
THE STRATUS CLOUDS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST TWO THIRDS OF OUR CWA SHOULD
ERODE BY MIDDAY AND WILL BE REPLACED WITH MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUD
COVER. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RISE INTO THE 40S IN EAST TO
SOUTHEASTERLY LOWLEVEL FLOW.
THE PATTERN ALOFT TRANSITIONS SOUTHWESTERLY TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW
MOVES FURTHER INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. SURFACE CYCLOGENSIS OCCURS
IN NEW MEXICO AND LOWLEVEL FLOW TRANSITIONS TO AN EASTERLY UPSLOPE
COMPONENT. ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASES TONIGHT AS INDICATED ON THE
295K SURFACE. TIMING OF LIFT INCREASES AFTER 00Z WITH SATURATION
OCCURING MAINLY AFTER 06Z AND MORE SO BY 12Z FRIDAY. GIVEN THE
SLOWER ONSET OF TIMING OF PCPN HAVE DELAYED THE START TIME TO THE
CURRENT WINTER STORM WATCH TO 12Z FRIDAY. INITIAL PRECIPITATION
TYPE SHOULD BE OF THE LIQUID VARIETY. HAVE SOME CONCERN THAT
INITIAL SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER NEAR OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING
TONIGHT AT THE ONSET OF THE PCPN...BEFORE WARMING FURTHER FRIDAY MORNING.
THE UPPER LOW IS PROJECTED TO TRACK EAST TO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE ON
FRIDAY...THEN FILL AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN KANSAS BY
EARLY SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE SIMILAR...MODELS ARE STILL NOT IN
COMPLETE AGREEMENT ON THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THE SYSTEM WITH THE
GFS FAVORING A FARTHER NORTH SOLUTION THAN OTHER OPERATIONAL
MODELS...AND THE NAM SUGGESTS A STRONGER SOLUTION...KEEPING THE
SYSTEM AS CLOSED LOW LONGER AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST. THE TRACK OF THE
SYSTEM IS FAVORABLE FOR THE BRUNT OF THE PCPN TO OCCUR ACROSS KANSAS
VS NEBRASKA. PRECIPITATION TYPE IS A CONCERN WITH FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATING A FAIRLY PERSISTENT WARM LOW LEVEL
LAYER...WHICH IS SLOW TO COOL UNTIL AROUND MIDDAY FRIDAY...IF
THAT...DEPENDING ON THE MODEL. THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW LOOKS TO BE
DELAYED AND HAVE WENT WITH A RAIN AND SNOW MIX IN THE MORNING
FRIDAY...THEN CHANGED TO SNOW IN THE AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IS NOT
HIGH RIGHT NOW FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...PARTICULARLY IN
THE NEBRASKA COUNTIES. EVEN AS THE WET SNOW FALLS...MELTING IN THE
WARM LOW LAYER WILL NOT BE CONDUCIVE FOR SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS.
SURFACE WET BULB TEMPERATURES ARE PROGGED TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING
ON BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ON FRIDAY AND THE BOUNDARY LAYER WET BULB
TEMPERATURES ARE JUST SLIGHTLY COOLER AND PROGGED JUST NEAR FREEZING
IN OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. WILL NEED TO COUNT ON EVAPORATIVE COOLING
TO COOL THE COLUMN AND SURFACE AND ALLOW THE SNOW TO ACCUMULATE...AND
AGAIN BETTER CHANCES FOR THIS EXIST ACROSS OUR NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS
COUNTIES. WITH THE SLOWER EXPECTED TIMING OF THE MIX AND CHANGEOVER
TO SNOW ON FRIDAY WILL BRING A LESSER DURATION FOR THE SNOW TO
ACCUMULATE AND HAVE LOWERED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...MORE IN LINE WITH
LATEST HPC THINKING AS WELL. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS RANGE FROM LESS
THAN A HALF INCH IN OUR NORTHERN NEBRASKA COUNTIES...TO NEAR SIX
INCHES IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. AS STATED ALREADY...THE NAM
MAINTAINS A DEEPER SOLUTION AND HOLDS ONTO THE WRAPAROUND PCPN
LONGER INTO SATURDAY. HAVE WENT WITH CONSENSUS HERE WITH THE SYSTEM
FILLING AND PCPN ENDING FRIDAY NIGHT.
SATURDAY WILL SEE RISING HEIGHTS BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM AND
MODERATING TEMPERATURES. THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ONTO THE PLAINS ON
SUNDAY ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO RETURN MORE TOWARD NORMAL READINGS.
NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST BEYOND SATURDAY.
