AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
301 PM CST SAT FEB 16 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. POTENT WINTER STORM WILL MOVE
ONTO THE PLAINS TONIGHT TONIGHT...BRINGING RAIN TO SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA
AND SOUTHWEST IOWA...CHANGING TO FREEZING RAIN AND EVENTUALLY SNOW
BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED A CLOSE 5H LOW MOVING THRU WESTERN
TEXAS ASSOCIATED WITH 100M HEIGHT FALLS. A COUPLED JET STRUCTURE
WILL EVENTUALLY MATERIALIZE ACROSS THE PLAINS AS THE SURFACE LOW
DEEPENS TO ABOUT 990 MB AND MOVES TO CENTRAL MISSOURI EARLY
THURSDAY. MODELS ARE SIMILAR...ALTHOUGH THE GFS MOVES THE SURFACE
LOW A BIT FURTHER NORTH BRINGING THE PRECIP SHIELD WELL NORTH OF
I80. WHILE THE GFS DOES HAVE AGREEMENT WITH THE 15Z SREF...OTHER
MODEL ENSEMBLE SUITE OF NAM/CMC/ECMWF/UKMET/NGM/RUC ALL SUGGEST
THAT THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE PRECIP SHOULDNT EXTEND MUCH
FURTHER NORTH THAN A KLNK TO KOMA LINE. IN FACT...THE 12Z HIRES
ECMWF IS PROBABLY A NICE COMPROMISE.

WITH WARM AIR ALOFT SURGING NORTHWARD...PRECIP WILL INITIALLY BE RAIN
BUT AS A COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST MOVES IN THIS EVENING...SURFACE
TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO FALL BELOW FREEZING...RESULTING IN FREEZING RAIN...
THEN EVENTUALLY CHANGING TO ALL SNOW BY 9Z-12Z. INFLUX OF CLOUDS
FROM THE SOUTH HAS LIMITED SURFACE WARMING TODAY WITH CURRENT
READINGS ONLY IN THE MID 30S...THUS NOT VERY FAR TO HAVE TO DROP
FOR RAIN TO CHANGE OVER TO FREEZING RAIN.

ALL THE WHILE...SURFACE WINDS WILL BE INCREASING TO SUSTAINED 20KTS
BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY...EVENTUALLY REACHING 26 TO 28TS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WHICH WILL ONLY COMPOUND MATTERS...ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE AREAS THAT
DO RECEIVE SOME ICE COATING LATER TONIGHT. SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL LINGER
SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN CWFA AS THE DEFORMATION BAND MOVES
THROUGH WITH ADDITIONAL LIGHT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON
AS ONE MORE SUBTLE WAVE MOVES OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

AM THINKING THAT UP TO ONE QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION COULD
OCCUR ACROSS OUR EXTREME SOUTHEAST CWFA BEFORE CHANGING OVER TO
SNOW BY 12Z SUNDAY...WITH SNOW TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ON TOP OF
THE ICE. ADD IN THE 30MPH WINDS WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING 45 RESULTING IN
A 1/2/3 PUNCH OF WINTRY WEATHER...THUS PROMPTING US TO UPGRADE MOST
OF THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WINTER STORM WARNING.
TO THE NORTH OF THIS WARNING AREA ALONG THE I80 CORRIDOR...WILL
ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR LESSER AMOUNTS OF ICE AND
SNOW...GENERALLY UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE WITH PERHAPS AN
INCH OF SNOW...MAYBE 2 IN SOME AREAS...BUT WITH AREAS OF BLOWING
SNOW TOO. FURTHER TO THE NORTH STILL...FEEL THE SNOW WILL BE OF
LITTLE CONSEQUENCE...WITH THE WIND MORE OF AN ISSUE ON SUNDAY...THUS
WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS NORTH OF A LINE FROM DAVID
CITY TO HARLAN.

OTHERWISE...STILL SHOULD BE SCATTERED FLURRIES SUNDAY NIGHT...AND
PERHAPS ALONG AND EAST OF THE MISSOURI RIVER ON MONDAY. LOOKS COLD
AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE TEENS AND 20S...BUT
WARMER ON TUESDAY AS A FRONT MOVES THROUGH BOOSTING TEMPS BACK INTO
THE 30S AND 40S.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. MODELS START OUT
FAIRLY CONSISTENT BUT DIVERGE RAPIDLY ON SPEED AND INTENSITY OF
VARIOUS WAVES EMBEDDED IN WRLY FLOW. JET PUSHES SOUTH ACROSS SRN
U.S. AND LONG WAVE TROUGH DIGS INTO THE WEST AFTER EJECTION OF
VERY COLD EASTERN TROUGH.

THE PERIOD STARTS OUT MILD...BUT WE ARE SOON BACKDOORED BY A LARGE
ARCTIC AIRMASS CENTERED WELL TO OUR EAST.  TEMPS SHOULD BE CHILLY
BUT NOT EXTREME WED AND WED NIGHT.  ON THU A MINOR WAVE EMERGES INTO
THE CENTRAL PLAINS.  THIS WILL GIVE THE AREA A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
SOME SNOW...BUT THE MODELS SEEM TO BE DOWNPLAYING THIS SYSTEM
OVERALL FROM AGGRESSIVE GFS SOLUTIONS OF EARLIER YESTERDAY.
SNOW...IF ANY...SHOULD PULL OUT OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY LEAVING A
BRIEF PERIOD FOR TEMPS TO RISE.  THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BE
APPROACHING THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT OR SAT.  THIS LOOKS LIKE A
STRONGER SYSTEM AT PRESENT...BUT MODELS ARE A LOT LESS CONCLUSIVE
ABOUT THE TRACK AND TIMING.  GULF WILL LIKELY BE WIDE OPEN...SO
SOMEWHAT HIGHER POPS ARE JUSTIFIED.  HOWEVER...PRECIP COULD END UP
EITHER RAIN OR SNOW AS TEMPS COULD GO EITHER WAY...OR BOTH DURING
THE COURSE OF THE SYSTEM.  FOR NOW...LEFT A CHANCE OF EITHER FOR
MOST OF THE AREA.

.AVIATION...

FOR TAF SITES KOMA/KLNK/KOFK...THRU 17/18Z.

MVFR CIGS WILL SPREAD NORTH OUT OF KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW
PRESSURE LIFTS TOWARD SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. CIGS AND VSBY WILL
BECOME IFR AFTER 06Z AT KOMA AND KLNK AS COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA. PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN LIKELY ALSO BETWEEN 06Z-12Z BEFORE
