AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
801 AM CST SUN FEB 14 2010

.UPDATE...
ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN THE WRN/NWRN CWA THIS MRNG DUE
TO SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
VISIBILITIES THIS MORNING HAVE DROPPED INTERMITTENTLY TO A QUARTER
MILE OR LESS AS A BAND OF SNOW PUSHES SOUTHWARD OUT OF SD AND AS
WINDS HAVE INCREASED THIS MRNG...PER AREA OBS AND WEB CAMS. ISSUED
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY JUST THROUGH THE MRNG TO COVER THE
PASSAGE OF THIS BAND THROUGH THE CWA WHERE IT COINCIDES WITH
HIGHER WIND SPEEDS. AS SNOW DIMINISHES BY 18Z...VISBYS SHOULD
IMPROVE...AND WIND WILL REMAIN THE MAIN CONCERN BEYOND 18Z. STILL
EXPECT LIGHT SNOW ACCUMS THIS MRNG.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 AM CST SUN FEB 14 2010/

DISCUSSION...

SYNOPSIS...00Z UPPR AIR ANLYS INDCD MAIN UPPR LVL LO NOW OVR NRN
SD ASSOCIATED WITH 60 M H5 HEIGHT FALLS AND A 70 KT H3 JET. 09Z
SFC ANALYS INDCD 1011 MB SFC LO OVR CNTRL MO WITH AN INVERTED TROF
NWD THRU CNTRL IA. SFC PRES RISES OF 4 MB PER 3 HR ARE NOTED OVR
NRN SD. REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC INDCS -SN ONCE AGAIN INCREASING OVR
SRN SD AND INTO NW IA.

FORECAST...DIFFICULT FORECAST FOR TODAY AS UPPR LVL SYSTEM MOVS
THRU THE FA. MAIN CERTAINTIES IN THE FORECAST ARE THAT IT WILL
SNOW. HAVE ONCE AGAIN INCREASED POPS BACK TO 100 PERCENT AS GIVEN
THE UPSTREAM RADAR AND STG Q-G FORCING...LITTLE DOUBT THERE WILL
BE A PERIOD OF SNOW MOVG FM N TO S THRU THE FA THIS MRNG. AMOUNTS
CONT TO LOOK MARGINAL WITH MOST LOCATIONS SEEING AT OR LESS THAN
AN INCH TODAY. BEST CHCS FOR AN INCH OR SLIGHTLY MORE ARE OVER
CNTRL AND ERN CWA...E OF HIGHWAY 81. ANOTHER CERTAINTY IS THAT
WIND ARE GOING TO INCREASE...AND INCREASE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY
OVER THE WESTERN CWA. STG LO LVL CAA WILL COMBINE WITH A STG PRES
GRADIENT TO PRODUCE THE STG WINDS. THE 4 MB 3 HR SFC PRES RISES
OVR NRN SD AT 09Z...SHLD MOV THRU THE FA BY MID TO LATE MRNG AS
925 MB WINDS INCREASE TO NEAR 40 KT. THUS WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA
LOOK LIKE A GOOD BET...AND ENOUGH TO ISSUE AN ADVISORY OVR THE
WRN CWA. THE MAIN UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST IS AROUND HOW MUCH
BLOWING SNOW WILL WE SEE. WINDS HAVE DECREASED SOME THIS MRNG OVR
THE CWA AS BEST INITIAL PRES RISES HAVE SHIFTED SWD. THIS IS
EXPECTED TO CONT INTO MID MRNG BEFORE WINDS INCREASE AGAIN.
SNOWFALL WILL GET GOING PRETTY QUICKLY HERE THIS MRNG...BUT BE ON
THE WAY OUT BY THE TIME THE STRONGEST OF THE WINDS GET
HERE...ESPECIALLY OVR WRN IA. DRY NATURE OF THE SN WITH RATIOS OF
15:1 AND DRY SFC DEWPOINTS WILL CERTAINLY PROMOTE BLOWING. BLOWING
SNOW ADVISORY CRITERIA IS OCCASIONAL VISIBILITY RESTRICTION TO A
QUARTER OF A MILE. THIS MAY BE MET AS SNOW IS FALLING...ESPECIALLY
OVR THE WRN CWA...BUT SHLD GENERALLY END AS SNOW DECREASES. SO IN
GENERAL...WE ARE LIKELY TO SEE AN HOUR OR TWO OF LOW VISIBILITY DUE
TO THE COMBINATION OF FALLING SNOW AND STRONG WINDS...BUT
CONFIDENCE THAT WE CAN GET DOWN TO A QUARTER OF A MILE VISBY WITH
NO FALLING SNOW WITH THESE WINDS...ESPECIALLY IN WRN IA...IS NOT
HIGH. SO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT IT IS A WEEKEND WITH NO SCHOOL
AND LIMITED TRAVEL...THAT THE PERIOD OF VERY LOW VISIBLITY WILL BE
LESS THAN 2 HOURS...AND THAT WE HAVE HAD BLOWING SNOW IN THE
FORECAST AND HWO FOR SEVERAL DAYS...WILL NOT ISSUE ANY WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORIES AND INSTEAD GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY AND INCLUDE
SOME MENTION OF BLOWING SNOW. IN ADDITION...IT IS RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF WINTER AND THIS ISN'T OUR FIRST RODEO WITH WINTER
WEATHER.

SNOW WILL QUICKLY END BY MID DAY FOR MOST AND BY MID AFTN OVR THE
SE. TMPS TODAY ARE NOT LIKELY TO INCREASE MUCH AND GUIDANCE SEEMS
TO WARM. WE HAVE HAD SOME CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT AND ALLOWED FOR
TMPS TO FALL MORE THAN ANTICIPATED. SHLD SEE SOME INCREASE IN
TEMPS DURING THE FALLING SNOW...BUT WL LIKELY NOT GET OUT OF THE
MID TEENS. FORECAST REMAINS A CHALLENGE TONIGHT AS MID LVL SHEAR
AXIS OVR ERN CANADA THIS MRNG...SHIFTS WWD TODAY AND ALLOWS FOR
WEAK FORCING FOR ASCENT TO MOV INTO THE FA OVERNIGHT AND THRU MON
MRNG. POINT FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDC DEEP SATURATION OCCURRING WITH
THIS FEATURE WITH A GOOD PART...IF NOT ALL OF THE MOIST LAYER...OF
THE SOUNDING IN THE DENDRITIC ZONE. SO DESPITE THE RATHER WEAK
FORCING...VERY FAVORABLE THERMAL PROFILES ARE LIKELY TO LEAD TO
SOME -SN AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND THRU MID DAY ON MONDAY. THUS
HAVE INCREASED GOING POPS INTO THE LIKELY CAT OVR THE CNTRL AND
ERN CWA. NOT EXPECTING MUCH SNOWFALL...BUT MEASURABLE PRECIP DOES
SEEM LIKELY ATTM. WL ALSO LIKELY SEE SOME CONTD BLOWING SNOW INTO
MONDAY AS H85 WINDS STAY CLOSE TO 50 KT AND 925 MB WINDS ARE
AROUND 35 KT AND HAVE PUT BACK INTO THE FORECAST THRU
MON...ESPECIALLY OVR THE ERN CWA. QUIET WEATHER LOOKS TO RETURN
FOR MON NIGHT THRU THURS...BUT MODELS ARE HINTING AT ANOTHER STORM
SYSTEM FOR THURS NIGHT INTO FRI AND LATER SHIFTS WL HAVE TO
CONSIDER SOME POPS FOR THIS TIME FRAME.
