What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind chill warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Aberdeen, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Dec 14, 11:17 AM CST, 4 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 14, 11:17 AM CST, 4 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1117 AM CST SUN DEC 14 2008

.UPDATE...
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE GRIDS THIS MORNING AS WIDESPREAD BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS CONTINUE. EXPECT TEMPS TO SLOWLY FALL THROUGHOUT TODAY
WITH PLENTY OF COLD AIR ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA INVADING THE CWA.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY
FORECAST CHALLENGES INCLUDE PLACEMENT OF STRONG FRONTO-FORCED SNOW
BAND TODAY AND TONIGHT AMID 20:1 /OR HIGHER/ SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS
ALONG WITH SNOW CHANCES ON TUESDAY AND WIND CHILL VALUES TODAY
THROUGH MONDAY.

CURRENTLY...A LARGE BAND OF SNOW IS DRAPED NEARLY NORTH TO SOUTH
FROM NORTH DAKOTA DOWN TO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. TEMPERATURES ARE
STEADILY FALLING BELOW ZERO FROM WEST TO EAST...WHILE WIND SPEEDS
ARE INCREASING TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 50 MPH. AS A
RESULT...WIND CHILL VALUES HAVE ALREADY DROPPED INTO THE -25 TO -34
RANGE OVER ALMOST THE ENTIRE CWA /WIND CHILL ADVISORY
CRITERIA/...WITH SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN FORECAST
AREA ENCROACHING ON WIND CHILL WARNING CRITERIA OF -35 BELOW OR
COLDER.

BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS REMAINING IN THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE WITH HIGHER
GUSTS IN FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW REDUCING VISBIES TO 1/4 MILE OR
LESS. MODELS AND 20:1 SLR ALL POINTING TO THIS AFOREMENTIONED
LARGE/WIDE BAND OF SNOW SETTING UP ACROSS THE EASTERN FORECAST
ZONES FOR BASICALLY THE ENTIRE DAY TODAY AND JUST DUMPING ON THE
EASTERN FORECAST ZONES IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. EARLIER WHEN THE
BAND OF SNOW WAS OVER WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...1 TO 3 INCH AN HOUR
SNOWFALL RATES WERE BEING OBSERVED...AND GIVEN THE CONCENTRATED
FRONTO-FORCING AND ACCOMPANYING SYNOPTIC-SCALE UVVS THAT ARE
EXPECTED TO SET UP TODAY...THINKING THAT SOME ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2
INCH AN HOUR SNOWFALL RATES ARE NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF THE QUESTION.
GOING WITH A STORM TOTAL WATER EQUIVALENT OF 0.5 TO 0.75 INCHES
ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN FORECAST ZONES...RUNNING WITH A
20:1 SLR YIELDS STORM TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS OF 8 TO 15 INCHES ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN FORECAST ZONES BY 12Z MONDAY WHEN THE
EVENT IS OVER. FURTHER WEST ACROSS THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY...4
TO 8 INCHES OF STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL ARE EXPECTED BY 06Z MONDAY.

THE FALLING SNOW WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT...BUT THE STRONG WINDS...BLOWING SNOW AND DEADLY COLD
WIND CHILLS WILL NOT. DECIDED TO LET THE BLIZZARD HEADLINE STEAL
THE SHOW FOR HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONCERN. THE THINKING IS A BLIZZARD
HEADLINE TRUMPS A WIND CHILL WARNING HEADLINE. THEREFORE DECIDED
NOT TO HOIST AN ADDITIONAL HEADLINE FOR WIND CHILL VALUES WITH
THIS MORNING PACKAGE...AND RATHER WAIT UNTIL THE BLIZZARD WARNING
HEADLINE CAN BE TAKEN DOWN BEFORE REPLACING IT WITH A WIND CHILL
HEADLINE.

CONTINUED THE SLT CHANCE AND CHANCE POPS FOR THE OPEN/TRANSIENT
WAVE THAT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT ENEWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
INCLUDING THIS CWA LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.
DECENT LIFT/FORCING COUPLET ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPPER WAVE...BUT
ONLY CARRYING A TRACE TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION
WITH THIS TUESDAY SYSTEM.

GOING MAX/MIN TEMPERATURE FORECAST REQUIRED VERY LITTLE CHANGE
THIS MORNING.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH
THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. AN ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL EXTEND
FROM HUDSON BAY TO CENTRAL CALIFORNIA TUESDAY NIGHT....WITH
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING IN OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE
UPPER TROUGH SPLITS ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE NORTHERN PORTION
TRACKING ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA AND INTO CANADA...WHILE THE SOUTHERN
PORTION SLIDES OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THE SURFACE
HIGH SLIDES EAST DURING THE DAY AS LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFIES OVER
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. THE LOW TRACKS EASTWARD TO EASTERN KANSAS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES AND SLIDES TOWARD THE
GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY...MAY SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW WRAP AROUND THE
BACK SIDE OF IT AND OVER THE CWA...SO KEPT A SMALL POP GOING FOR
NOW. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO NOSE IN FROM THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY
NIGHT...AND BECOMES THE DOMINANT FEATURE OVER THE PLAINS FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY.

WILL SEE THE COLD TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS H85
TEMPS REMAIN IN THE TEENS BELOW ZERO DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE
PERIOD...AND FALL INTO THE 20S BELOW ZERO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
THEREFORE...GENERALLY EXPECT TO SEE DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS ABOVE ZERO...WITH NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW
ZERO TO THE TEENS BELOW ZERO.

&&

.AVIATION...
IFR TO LOWER LEVEL MVFR CIGS WILL REMAIN OVER THE ENTIRE AREA
TODAY. NORTH WINDS OF 25 TO 40 MPH WILL ALSO BE COMMON. SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE...WITH LIFR TO LOWER LEVEL IFR VSBYS
EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES. LOOK FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT ACROSS THE
WESTERN CWA...KMBG AND KPIR...LATE THIS EVENING...BUT LITTLE IN THE WAY
OF IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE EAST...KABR AND KATY...UNTIL
TONIGHT.
