AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED TIME AND DATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
257 PM CST FRI NOV 30 2007

.DISCUSSION...
THE LATEST SOLNS OF THE  NAM12...GFS...UKMET AND ECMWF HAVE
GENERALLY CONVERGED ON A SOLN WHICH SLIGHTS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND FOCUSES THE HIGHEST PCPN ACROSS ERN NEB...KS...
SD AND THE MIDWEST. SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES IN THE FCST
QPF AMOUNTS AS WATER VAPOR CLEARLY INDICATES TROPICAL MOISTURE IS
SURGING NORTH OFF THE ITCZ LOCATED AT 10N AND HEADING FOR THE
CENTRAL U.S.. THE COMBINATION OF THIS MOISTURE...NEARLY 300 PERCENT
OF NORMAL...AND ARCTIC AIR SUGGESTS A RECORD EVENT IS UNDERWAY BUT
MYSTERIOUSLY NONE OF THE MODELS SUGGEST MUCH MORE THAN YOUR TYPICAL
HP WINTER STORM EVENT.

THE OFFICIAL FCST CALL FOR AN ICE STORM WARNING FROM CHAPPELL
NORTHEAST TO AINSWORTH AND BUTTE INCLUDING ALL AREAS TO THE
SOUTHEAST. THIS IS VERY LIBERAL CONSIDERING THE BLENDED MODEL SOLNS
OF THE NAM12 AND GFS WOULD SUGGEST A WARNING LESS THAN HALF THIS
SIZE BUT MOISTURE ADVECTION...WINDS ALOFT AND INTENSE WARM AIR
ADVECTION SUPPORT THIS CAUTIOUS FCST. NORTHWEST OF THE WARNING A
WINTER WEATHER ADZY WILL BE ISSUED FOR MIXED FREEZING RAIN...SLEET
AND SNOW. ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH ARE LIKELY WITHIN THE
WARNED AREA WITH HEAVIEST AMOUNTS EAST OF HIGHWAY 83.

FOR TONIGHT...THE NAM SUGGEST FZIPSN WILL BREAK OUT LATE THIS
EVENING AND COVER ALL OF THE FCST BY MORNING. THE NAM THEN LIFTS
BANDS OF FZIP NORTH SATURDAY MORNING AND EARLY SATURDAY AFTN WHICH
MIXES WITH SNOW ACROSS FAR NRN ZONES AND THE NW. NONE OF THE MODELS
SUGGEST HEAVY SNOW WILL DEVELOP...LIKELY BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING. BUT LATER FCSTS WILL HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR
THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AS H75MB LIFTED INDICES ARE
CLOSE TO ZERO FROM KIML NEWD THRU KONL AND SOUTHEAST SATURDAY AM.
MEANWHILE THE GFS SUGGESTS AN AREA OF NEGITIVE EPV LIFTING QUICKLY
NORTH BETWEEN 12 AND 18Z SATURDAY ACROSS THE SAME AREA.

A DRY SLOT WILL MOVE LIFT NORTH THRU THE FCST AREA LATE SATURDAY
AFTN AS THE H7 TROF SWINGS THUR. FREEZING DRIZZLE DEVELOPS SE OF THE
TROF AXIS WITH SNOW AND SLEET TO THE NW. ALL SOLNS APPEAR TO BE
SLIGHTLY SLOWER SO THE MIXED BAG IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO
SATURDAY EVENING WITH CONVERSION TO ALL SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT SATURDAY
NIGHT.

COLD AIR SWEEPS IN SUNDAY AND THE LATEST SOLNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A BIG WARM-UP MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY A
SHARP COOL DOWN WEDNESDAY AS THE NEXT ARCTIC SURGE DROPS IN. TEMPS
TUESDAY HAVE BEEN BUMPED UP INTO THE 50S BUT THE LATEST MEX GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS LOWER 60S ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST SO LATER FCSTS MAY HAVE TO
RAISE THESE TEMPS.

.AVIATION...
SFC HIGH PRESSURE/ARCTIC AIR IS LOCATED OVER EASTERN NEB FRIDAY
MORNING...LEADING TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS THROUGH MOST OF THE
AFTERNOON.  A STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST TOWARDS THE PLAINS EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING...WITH WARM AIR/MOISTURE MOVING NORTH JUST ABOVE
THE SURFACE...LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FREEZING RAIN/MVFR VSBY
AND CEILINGS AT KLBF BY 08Z...AND KVTN BY 10Z. VSBY/CEILINGS MAY
DROP TO IFR CONDITIONS PERIODICALLY AFTER 08Z TO 10Z  FZRA IS
EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVER TO FZDZ DURING THE LATE MORNING HOURS AT
KLBF AS DRY AIR MOVES NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION...BUT FZRA/MIX OF
SNOW WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AT KVTN.

1045 AM CST FRI NOV 30 2007 /945 AM MST FRI NOV 30 2007/

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

ARCTIC AIR HAS MOVED SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION...WHILE A STORM
SYSTEM BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. AS
THE SYSTEM BEGINS TO MOVE EAST TOWARD THE CENTRAL PLAINS...WARM
AIR ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL QUICKLY MOVE NORTH ACROSS NEBRASKA. THE
COMBINATION OF COLD SURFACE TEMPERATURES...WARM AIR ALOFT...AND A
VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING
RAIN. THIS FROZEN PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN OVER SOUTHERN AND
SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND THEN SPREAD
NORTHWARD DURING EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEEPEN AND MOVE OUT ON THE PLAINS
SATURDAY MORNING. A MIXTURE OF SNOW...SLEET...AND FREEZING RAIN
WILL TRANSITION TO A BROAD AREA OF FREEZING RAIN WHERE AROUND 1/4
TO 1/2 INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A DEEP LAYER OF DRY AIR
WILL MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF NEBRASKA BY MID DAY.
THIS WILL BRING AN END TO THE FREEZING RAIN EVENT...ALTHOUGH
FREEZING DRIZZLE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...KEEP ABREAST TO THE CHANGING
WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE LATEST FORECASTS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT.
