AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
940 AM CST FRI MAR 2 2007

.DISCUSSION...
ADJUSTED HEADLINES AND OTHER PRODUCTS WILL BE UPDATED SHORTLY. SNOW
HAS MOVED BACK IN FROM THE NORTH AND EXPECT THIS TO EXPAND SOUTH.
BUMPED UP SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE GRIDS A BIT IN THE NORTH. HEADLINES
MAY NEED SOME EXTENSION PAST 6 PM...BUT THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED LATER.

SURFACE LOW WAS CENTERED OVER WISCONSIN AS OF 15Z...JUST NORTHWEST
OF OSHKOSH...WITH PRESSURE AROUND 979 MB. CONDITIONS SHOULD GET
BETTER AND WINDS WILL DIMINISH A BIT AS LOW MOVES EAST TONIGHT AND
PRESSURE GRADIENT DECREASES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 436 AM CST FRI MAR 2 2007/

DISCUSSION...

THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST IS CONTINUING PERIOD OF STRONG
WINDS AND LIGHT SNOW AS AN INTENSE LOW BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND
ALOFT MOVES SLOWLY TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. A TROUGH NOW EXTENDING
WEST FROM THE LOW INTO THE DAKOTAS WILL CONTINUE TO PIVOT SOUTH INTO
NEBRASKA. THIS PLUS CYCLONIC FLOW AT LOW LEVELS SHOULD GIVE A BOOST
TO PRECIP OVER THE AREA. EXPECT 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IN NORTHEAST
NEBRASKA BEFORE ENDING TONIGHT.  THIS WOULD BE MORE IN LINE WITH GFS
THAN NAM.  NAM IS LIKELY OVERDONE AS IT HAS TENDED TO BE LATELY.
EVEN SO...THERE MAY WELL BE ENOUGH SNOW TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
TRAVEL PROBLEMS IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA...EVEN IN AREAS THAT HAD
LITTLE SNOW RECENTLY. ISSUED A SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FOR
THE NORTHERN COUNTIES OF NORTHEAST NEBRASKA.

THE INTENSE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL KEEP STRONG WINDS IN THE AREA
THROUGH THE DAY. 06Z NAM12 KEEPS AN AREA OF 50 TO 55 KT 850 MB
WINDS IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA THROUGH THE DAY...AND 00Z RUN EXTENDED
THIS AREA TOWARD THE KANSAS BORDER. CALLS INTO RURAL COUNTIES INDICATED
THAT MANY OF THE AREAS THAT RECEIVED A LOT OF SNOW YESTERDAY STILL
HAD CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WITH SOME ROAD CLOSURES.
AS WINDS REMAIN STEADY OR INCREASE SLIGHTLY DURING THE DAY...AND
LIGHT SNOW MOVES BACK SOUTHWEST INTO THE AREA...EXTENDED THE BLOWING
SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE AFFECTED COUNTIES.

BLOWING SNOW PROBLEMS MAY CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT IN
GENERAL THE MODELS BEGIN TO RELAX THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SOMEWHAT.
SURFACE WINDS MAY ALSO DECOUPLE SOMEWHAT FROM THE UPPER CIRCULATION...
ALLOWING LIGHTER WINDS.

SKIES SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR LATER FRIDAY NIGHT AS UPPER TROUGH
CONTINUES TO PIVOT TOWARD THE SOUTH.  WINDS ARE STILL TOO STRONG
FOR GOOD RADIATION CONDITIONS.

THE REST OF THE FORECAST IS CONCERNED MOSTLY WITH TEMPERATURES.
IN GENERAL WENT BELOW PREVIOUS FORECAST BY A BIT...BUT WELL BELOW GUIDANCE.
MELTING THE SNOW COVER WILL BE A MAJOR FORECAST FACTOR.  IT
SHOULD GO EASILY IN THE SOUTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL COUNTIES WHERE
VERY LITTLE FELL IN THE LAST STORM OR THIS ONE.  IT WILL BE A
TOUGHER JOB FARTHER NORTH AND EAST...AND TOUGHER YET TOWARD
WEST CENTRAL IOWA HARLAN REPORTED 16 INCHES.  DESPITE A WARMING
TREND BEGINNING LATER IN THE WEEKEND...SOME OF THIS MAY PERSIST
FOR A LONG TIME. WARM AIR ALOFT AND A HIGHER SUN ANGLE SHOULD
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO BEGIN A REBOUND LATER IN THE WEEKEND...BUT
COULD TAKE MOST OF THE WEEK TO MELT OUT SNOW NEAR HARLAN.
