AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1057 PM CST SAT JAN 8 2011

.AVIATION...06Z TAF. KUEX WSR-88D SHOWS SNOW HAS EXPANDED ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING ISENTROPIC LIFT.
A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SNOW IS EXPECTED AT KGRI DUE TO THE
CONTINUED ISENTROPIC LIFT...AND IT WILL BE HARD TO PIN DOWN
THE FLUCTUATIONS IN CIGS/VSBYS AT KGRI OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE
00Z NAM AND GFS BOTH SHOW FORCING WILL CONTINUE IN THE DENDRITIC
LAYER OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...AND THEY AGREE THAT THERE COULD BE
A PERIOD OF DECREASED LIFT EARLY SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE THE LIFT
INCREASES AGAIN BY AFTERNOON. NUMERICAL GUIDANCE FOR KGRI IS NOT
MUCH HELP AT THE MOMENT WITH IT NOT REFLECTING THE CURRENT
CONDITIONS AT KGRI...SO IN THE END WILL STAY WITH THE SIMPLE
APPROACH AND HOLD FAIRLY STEADY CONDITIONS AT KGRI. WINDS WILL ALSO
NOT CHANGE MUCH THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH A GENERAL SOUTHEAST
DIRECTION EXPECTED AT 12 KTS OR LESS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 415 PM CST SAT JAN 8 2011/

SHORT TERM...THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE UPCOMING
PROLONGED SNOW EVENT...AND OVERALL...NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED FROM PREV
THINKING.

AT 21Z THIS AFTERNOON...HIT AND MISS BANDS OF FLURRIES/LIGHT SNOW
WERE ONGOING IN NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST FASHION ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA...BUT WITH VERY LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATION. THIS INITIAL
ACTIVITY IS TIED RATHER CLOSELY TO MID LEVEL ISENTROPIC
LIFT/SATURATION ON THE 295K SFC...WITHIN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION
OF A 120KT H3 JET STREAK CENTERED FROM ILLINOIS INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC. 21Z OBJECTIVE SFC ANALYSIS HAS A RIDGE AXIS RUNNING
SOUTHWARD FROM MN INTO MO...WITH FAIRLY UNIFORM EAST/SOUTHEAST
BREEZES OF 10-15 MPH ACROSS THE CWA ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE RIDGE.
MID AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND SHORT TERM MODEL DATA
FEATURE THREE H5 LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ACROSS THE CONUS...ONE IN
THE SOUTHWEST...ANOTHER DEPARTING THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES...AND
THE THIRD...MOST IMPACTFUL VORT MAX FOR THE LOCAL AREA JUST
STARTING TO CREEP INTO MONTANA FROM THE NORTHWEST.

OVERALL...DIDN/T CHANGE A WHOLE LOT BIG PICTURE WISE WITH THE
UPCOMING SNOW POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS...AS PREV FCST
ALREADY HAD VERY HIGH POPS. HOWEVER...QPF AND ASSOCIATED SNOW
AMOUNTS IN INDIVIDUAL 6-12 HOUR BLOCKS WERE MODIFIED SOMEWHAT.

STARTING OFF TONIGHT...THE ONGOING NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST BANDS OF
FLURRIES/VERY LIGHT SNOW SHOULD GRADUALLY GIVE WAY TO A BIT
STEADIER LIGHT SNOWFALL AS PERSISTENT ISENTROPIC LIFT CONTINUES IN
THE MID LEVELS...AND THINGS CONTINUE TO SATURATE FROM TOP DOWN.
UNLIKE SEVERAL PREV EVENTS THIS SEASON...DENDRITIC LAYER RH IS
QUITE HIGH...AND AM NOT ANTICIPATING A FZDZ THREAT. THROUGH
SUNRISE...HAVE AIMED FOR ACCUMULATIONS RANGING FROM ONLY A DUSTING
IN KS ZONES ALONG WITH FAR SOUTHERN NEB...UP TO 1-2 INCHES
NEAR/NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 IN THE MOST FOCUSED AREA OF LIFT. AS A
RESULT...KEPT THE 03Z START TIME FOR THE NEB PORTION OF THE
ADVISORY...ALTHOUGH WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT ESPECIALLY THE BOTTOM 2
ROWS OF NEB COUNTIES COULD BE HARD PRESSED TO SEE 1 INCH BY
SUNRISE. WITH SUSTAINED WINDS REMAINING IN THE 10-15 MPH
RANGE...NOT ANTICIPATING A HUGE TRAVEL IMPACT TONIGHT.

DURING THE DAY SUNDAY...ANTICIPATE A GENERAL INCREASE IN SNOWFALL
EFFICIENCY...AS THE H5 SYSTEM TO THE NORTHWEST BUILDS FARTHER INTO
THE PLAINS...AND UPPER DIFFLUENCE BECOMES CONSIDERABLY MORE
PRONOUNCED AT H3...AS A 140KT JET STREAK DIVES ACROSS THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST...AND ANOTHER JET SEGMENT LOOPS FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. HOWEVER...THE
LATEST GFS/ECMWF/4KM EMC WRF-NMM RUNS ARE CLEARLY FOCUSING MOST OF
THE SNOWFALL SUNDAY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST 2/3 OF THE CWA...IN A
STRENGTHENING ZONE OF MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS/DEFORMATION EVIDENT
AT H6. THIS RESULTS IN SOUTHEAST ZONES BEING LUCKY TO SEE 1 INCH
DURING THE DAY...WHILE NORTHERN/WESTERN AREA SHOULD BE IN LINE FOR
AT LEAST 2-3 INCHES. SPEAKING OF SOUTHERN AREAS...THE START TIME
OF THE KS SEGMENT OF THE ADVISORY WAS PUSHED BACK TO 18Z...AND
EVEN THIS MIGHT BE A BIT ON THE EARLY SIDE WITH MOST OF THE FOCUS
OVER NEB ZONES DURING THE DAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT...THE PRIMARY 24 HOUR PERIOD OF SNOWFALL WILL KICK
IN CWA-WIDE...AND EXPECT MOST AREAS TO RECEIVE 3-4 INCHES DURING
THIS TIME AS UPPER SUPPORT/LOW-MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS/DEFORMATION
CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA. WINDS THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT WILL REMAIN ON THE FAIRLY LIGHT SIDE HOWEVER...WITH
AN INVERTED TROUGH AXIS POKING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE TX PANHANDLE
INTO THE CWA. ALL IN ALL...STORM TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH
SUNRISE MONDAY MORNING SHOULD RANGE FROM 5-8 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF
THE CWA...EXCEPT FOR SOUTHEAST AREAS MORE SO 3-4. SEE LONG TERM
DISCUSSION BELOW FOR MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT DETAILS. ALL IN ALL...A
FAIRLY UNIQUE LONG DURATION SNOW EVENT DRIVEN BY ISENTROPIC
LIFT/WARM AIR ADVECTION DURING THE FIRST 24-36 HOURS...AND
INCREASING UPPER DYNAMICS/FORCING THEREAFTER. AS FOR LIQUID
EQUIVALENT...MUCH OF THE CWA SHOULD BE IN LINE FOR A GOOD 0.3 TO
0.5 INCH THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...WHICH WILL AT LEAST PROVIDE SOME
MUCH NEEDED MOISTURE.

TEMPERATURE WISE...FOR LOWS TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY
NIGHT...STAYED A FEW DEGREES ABOVE MET/MAV GUIDANCE DUE TO
EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER. FOR HIGHS SUNDAY...STAYED CLOSE TO MET/MAV
GUIDANCE...WITH MOST NEB ZONES TOPPING OUT IN THE LOW/MID
20S...AND KS ZONES UPPER 20S/NEAR 30.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN
WILL CONTINUE TO CENTER AROUND THE SNOWFALL THAT IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT
THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

LITTLE HAS CHANGED IN THE OVERALL THINKING AS TO HOW THIS STORM
SYSTEM WILL EVOLVE MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. FORECAST MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT FROM ONE MODEL TO THE NEXT. THE
HEAVIER SNOW THAT BEGINS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY WITH
THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST SNOW SHIFTING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE DAY. THIS HEAVIER SNOW AXIS
WILL THEN SLIP EAST OF OUR AREA BY MONDAY EVENING AND THE SNOW WILL
DECREASE IN COVERAGE AREA AND INTENSITY MONDAY NIGHT.

SNOWFALL AMOUNTS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON MONDAY WILL GENERALLY
RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS OUR NORTHWESTERN CWA...TO 2 TO 4
INCHES OVER OUR SOUTHEASTERN CWA. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL MONDAY NIGHT
WILL GENERALLY BE ONE INCH OR LESS. WHEN YOU ADD UP ALL OF THE LIGHT
SNOW OVER THE TWO AND A HALF DAY PERIOD RUNNING FROM TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...THE GRAND TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD RANGE FROM 8
TO 10 INCHES ACROSS NEBRASKA AND 6 TO 9 INCHES OVER NORTH CENTRAL
KANSAS.

IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FORECAST MODELS AND
REAL TIME OBSERVATIONS OVER THE COMING HOURS AS THE EVENT BEGINS TO
UNFOLD. ONE INTERESTING NOTE IS THAT THE 12Z ECMWF HAS CONTINUED
THAT MODELS DOWNWARD TREND IN FORECASTED QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM. RAW
12Z ECMWF OUTPUT NOW ONLY SHOWS .40 TO .65 HUNDREDTHS OF MOISTURE
WITH THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS ACROSS THE NORTH. THIS IS A REDUCTION IN
RAW QPF OF AT LEAST 30 TO 40 PERCENT FOR MOST AREAS. THE SYSTEM AS
DEPICTED BY THE NEWER ECMWF IS GENERALLY SLIGHTLY WEAKER WITH LESS
LIFT AND PULLS OUT OF THE AREA EARLIER ON MONDAY. THE ECMWF SFC WIND
FIELDS ARE ALSO WEAKER AND BEGINNING TO COME MORE IN LINE WITH OTHER
WIND SPEED MODEL GUIDANCE.

THE WIND SHOULD STILL SHIFT FROM EAST TO NORTH DURING THE DAY ON
MONDAY AND INCREASE. HOWEVER...THE 850MB WINDS ARE NOT OVERLY
IMPRESSIVE SO HARD TO SEE HOW THE SFC WIND CAN GET MUCH MORE THAN
SUSTAINED AT 15 TO 25 MPH. GIVEN THE LIGHT AND FLUFFY NATURE OF THE
SNOW...THESE WINDS SHOULD STILL BE SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THE WINDS WILL FIRST
INCREASE ACROSS WESTERN ZONES MONDAY MORNING AND THEN ACROSS EASTERN
ZONES MONDAY AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES BEHIND THIS SYSTEM MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WITH BE BITTERLY COLD WITH LOWS GENERALLY FROM AROUND 0 TO 15 BELOW.
HIGHS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL ONLY BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
WITH SOME NORTHERN CWA LOCATIONS POSSIBLY NOT GETTING ABOVE 0 FOR A
HIGH BY WEDNESDAY. EXPECT MODERATING TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY. THE
MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD CONTINUES TO LOOK PRIMARILY DRY.
