AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
400 AM CST WED MAR 10 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
TWO UPPER LEVEL LOWS CONTINUE TO MERGE OVER UPPER MISSOURI RIVER
BASIN. MEANWHILE NEXT LOW TO JOIN THE PLAINS IS SPINNING ACROSS
ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO THIS MORNING. WESTERN ZONES HAVE BEEN
SEEING LIGHT SNOW ALL NIGHT...HOWEVER REPORTS HAVE BEEN LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS. TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 20S...SO SNOW IS
STICKING TO THE ROADS AND MAKING TRAVEL DIFFICULT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
COMPLEX SET OF UPPER LEVEL LOWS TO CONTINUE TO INTERACT/MERGE OVER
THE PLAINS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. NEXT LOW WILL PUSH ONTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS TODAY...THEN HEAD NE AND JOIN THE NORTHERN LOW
TONIGHT. AS THE TWO LOWS MERGE...THE LOW WILL BECOME NEARLY
STATIONARY THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT OVER NW MISSOURI. BY
FRIDAY THE LOW WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO GET PUSHED EAST BY A
DEVELOPING RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ROCKIES.

DRY SLOTS HAVE WORKED INTO THE NORTHERN LOW...AND SHUT OFF MOST OF
THE PRECIP FOR NOW OVER CENTRAL NEB. WESTERN NEB STILL SEEING MANY
ECHOES ON RADAR. THIS WILL CHANGE AS NEXT BAND...OVER EASTERN
NEB/S DAKOTA ROTATES WEST. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE PRECIP TYPE.
SURFACE TEMPS EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE 30S TODAY...WHILE TEMPS
ALOFT REMAIN AROUND OR BELOW FREEZING. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH MOST AREAS SEEING 850 MB TEMPS AT OR BELOW 0 C. THUS HAVE
GONE MOSTLY SNOW...WITH A LITTLE MIX IN THE FAR EAST...WHERE
AFTERNOON TEMPS THE WARMEST.

TONIGHT CONTINUES TO SEE THE CHANCE FOR SNOW AS TEMPS RETURN TO OR
BELOW FREEZING. MODEL QPF IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT...WITH AMOUNTS
LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH.

TOMORROW AS THE LOWS MERGE AND BECOME STALLED...WINDS INCREASE TO
20 TO 35 MPH...ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL NEB. MEANWHILE...MORE
MOISTURE/BETTER ISENTROPIC LIFT DEVELOPS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
LOW...OVER NORTHEAST AND N CENTRAL NEB. TEMPERATURES NOT EXPECT TO
GET VERY HIGH ON THURSDAY AND WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CLOSELY AS
CURRENT RAIN/SNOW MIX MAY END UP BEING ALL SNOW.
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER...IS EXPECTED TO BE ALL SNOW. ACCUMULATIONS
COULD BE SIGNIFICANT...UP TO 6 INCHES OR SO. THE COMBINATION OF
THE WINDS AND SNOW WILL MAKE FOR POSSIBLE HEADLINE. TRACK OF LOW
STILL UNCERTAIN...SO NO HEADLINE YET.

SYSTEM FINALLY EXITS ON FRIDAY...WITH SOME LINGER LIGHT SNOW OVER
EASTERN ZONES. THE RIDGE WILL PUSH EAST FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH A
FAIRLY DECENT AND SEASONAL WEEKEND EXPECTED. MODELS STILL HAVING
DIFFICULTY AGREEING WITH THE TRACK OF THE NEXT LOW EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THUS WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES AND CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

&&

.AVIATION...
MIXED IFR AND MVFR WITH ISOLATED LIFR CONTINUE TODAY THROUGH
TONIGHT.

A STALLED UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED NEAR KYKN WILL STRENGTHEN AS A
NEW STORM SYSTEM ENTERS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND SLOWLY CONSOLIDATES
INTO A SINGLE STORM.

THE COMMA SHAPED AREA OF SNOW...NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS WESTERN
NEBRASKA...SHOULD DRIFT WEST AND NORTH...SLOWLY DECAY...BUT REMAIN
NEARLY ANCHORED ACROSS THE AREA. MEANWHILE...COLD AIR ALOFT ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED RAIN AND
SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

REMAIN...THE NORTH PLATTE RIVER NEAR NORTH PLATTE...AND THE
ELKHORN RIVER FROM ATKINSON TO EWING. STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED
ON BOTH SEGMENTS. REST OF THE AREA NOT EXPECTING TO SEE MUCH IN
THE WAY OF QPF...THUS NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF FLOODING.
