AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1047 AM CST THU DEC 30 2010

.UPDATE...

BASED OFF RADAR TRENDS AND LATEST HI RESOLUTION MODELS AND 09Z SREF...FELT
IT PRUDENT TO UPGRADE NORTHEAST CWA TO A WINTER STORM WARNING. NEW NAM
BUFR SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO INDICATE FAST CHANGEOVER TO SNOW AS
DECENT UVM OVERSPREADS THE AREA. WITH PWATS AROUND 1/2 INCH OR
SO...EXPECT SOME 5 TO 7 INCH AMOUNTS AFTER INITIAL FREEZING
RAIN/DRIZZLE. THERE WILL STILL BE A BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS WITH
MORE HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY AND INTO FRIDAY EVENING.
UPDATES ALREADY ISSUED.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY

TWO DIFFERENT STORM SYSTEMS AND THEIR IMPACTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
THE FORECAST CHALLENGE.

THE FIRST STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS THIS MORNING...TO NORTHERN MN BY 06Z TONIGHT. AS
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES SE OF THE REGION...IT WILL WRAP
MOISTURE WESTWARD INTO THE COLD SECTION OF THE STORM...OR ACROSS
THE EASTERN DAKOTAS. THERE IS DECENT LIFT IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION
BY 18Z TODAY...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH A COUPLED JET ALOFT COULD
RESULT IN MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL THIS AFTERNOON. BASED ON THE
AMOUNT OF LIFT AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE...THOUGHT ABOUT UPGRADING
THE ADVISORY TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE NE CWA. HOWEVER DUE
TO THE PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM...WHICH SHOULD IMPACT THE REGION
FOR ABOUT 6 TO 10 HOURS...SHOULD RESULT IN SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
BETWEEN 3 TO 5 INCHES. THE FIRST STORM SYSTEM SHOULD EXIT THE AREA
AROUND 3Z TONIGHT...AND WILL LEAVE STRONG NW WINDS AND BITTER COLD
TEMPERATURES IN IT'S WAKE. BASED ON THE POSSIBILITY OF BLOWING
SNOW AND WIND CHILL VALUES OF 20 TO 30 DEGREES BELOW ZERO...HAVE
DECIDED TO EXTEND THE TIMING OF THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO
MEET THE START TIME OF THE WINTER STORM WARNING.

THE SECOND STORM SYSTEM WILL TAKE A SIMILAR TRACK TO THE FIRST
ONE...HOWEVER THIS SYSTEM WILL BE MUCH STRONGER. MADE A FEW
CHANGES TO THE FORECAST WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM...MAINLY TO
INCREASE POPS AND WINDS. WITH THE INCREASE IN WINDS...HAVE ADDED
DEFINITE BLOWING SNOW INTO THE FORECAST. THOUGHT ABOUT MENTIONING
PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE 21Z SREF HAD A
50 PERCENT PROBABILITY OF SNOWFALL RATES AROUND 2 INCHES AN HOUR.
THE PROBABILITY OF SNOWFALL RATES AROUND AN INCH AN HOUR WAS BETWEEN
70 TO 90 PERCENT ACROSS THE CWA. WITH INCREASING WINDS...AND
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL...WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS SYSTEM FOR
THE POSSIBILITY OF UPGRADING TO A BLIZZARD WARNING.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

THE LONG RANGE STARTS OUT FAIRLY QUIETLY...DRY BUT COLD. THE COLD
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE
IS A SHORTWAVE THAT WILL SKIRT THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON
MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT. THE EC AND GFS HAVE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT
SOLUTIONS WITH THIS FEATURE. THE GFS KEEPS IT OUT OF NORTHERN SD
COMPLETELY WHILE THE EC DROPS IT DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN TIER
COUNTIES AND SWINGS IT SOUTHEAST INTO MN. DECIDED TO ADD SOME
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY NIGHT BASED ON EC...BUT KEPT THEM
FARTHER EAST FROM THE I-29 CORRIDOR INTO WEST CENTRAL MN TO GIVE
SOME WEIGHT TO THE GFS.

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z/18Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

FIRST SYSTEM MAINLY EFFECTING KABR/KATY TERMINALS WITH IFR
VISBY/CIGS DUE TO SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW. FARTHER WEST...KPIR/KMBG
TERMINALS WILL EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT IFR CONDITIONS WITH LESS
INTENSE SNOWFALL. NORTH/NORTHEAST WINDS OF APPROXIMATELY 20G30KT
THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY AND INTO THE EVENING. IMPROVING CONDITIONS
OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY AM...HOWEVER LIGHT MVFR SNOW AND IFR LOW
CIGS WILL PROBABLY PERSIST IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS. SECOND SYSTEM WILL
MOVE UP FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST...WITH REDUCED VISBY DUE TO
+SN/BLOWING SNOW STARTING FRIDAY AM AT KPIR...AND BY MID DAY FOR
KATY/KMBG/KABR TERMINALS.
