AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1135 PM CST SAT DEC 8 2012

.UPDATE...
ADDED A BROAD AREA OF FREEZING RAIN/FREEZING DRIZZLE TO THE GRIDS
UNTIL 9Z. AS WINDS INCREASE BEHIND THE LOW SNOW IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE BACK IN AND FREEZING DRIZZLE TO COME TO AN END.

SEE UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
A STRONG STORM SYSTEM IS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION WITH WAA SNOW
ARCHING FROM KMBG TO KHON. WEB-CAMS AS WELL AS OBS FROM KMBG/KHON
ARE SUGGESTING THIS BAND IS PRODUCING MODERATE SNOW TO PERHAPS
HEAVY SNOW. THIS LINES UP WELL WITH RADAR REFLECTIVITY AROUND 35
DBZ. HI-RES MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE NMM/ARW ARE HANDLING THIS BAND
OF PCPN WITH THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL NOW POSSIBLE OVER THE WATEROWN
AREA TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. HAVE MADE MINOR CHANGES WITH
THIS TREND IN MIND BY INCREASING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS IN THE SOUTHEAST
PORTION OF THE CWA...WITH ONLY A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THE NORTHEAST
PORTION.

A RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE TROWAL DEVELOPS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW
PRESSURE ON SUNDAY WITH HI-RES MODELS SUGGESTING PCPN SHOULD EXIT
THE CWA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THAT SAID...HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
INCREASE POPS DURING THE MORNING HOURS OVER THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT...ALONG WITH STRONG CAA WILL PROMOTE
GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND
45 MPH. THESE STRONG WINDS...ALONG WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOWFALL
WILL CREATE AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW...BEGINNING IN THE WESTERN CWA
TONIGHT BEFORE SPREADING EASTWARD BY SUNDAY MORNING. VISIBILITIES
AROUND A QUARTER MILE OR LESS SEEMS HIGHLY LIKELY. THUS WILL
MAINTAIN THE BLIZZARD WARNING...AND EXPEND THE SW CWA TO INCLUDE A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW.

VERY COLD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO POSSIBLE. THESE COLD
TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH LIGHT WINDS AROUND 5 MPH WILL PRODUCE
WIND CHILL VALUES AROUND 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO...OR NEAR WIND
CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

AFTER AN ACTIVE SHORT RANGE...IT APPEARS THINGS WILL CALM DOWN A
BIT. MID LEVEL TROFFING OVER THE REGION WILL GET REPLACE BY WEAK
S/W RIDGING OUT AHEAD OF SYSTEM DROPPING INTO THE SOUTHWEST CONUS.
MEANWHILE THERE WILL BE A COUPLE SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW
BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING CHANCES FOR MEASURABLE PCPN LOOK TO BE
RATHER LOW. TEMPERATURES WILL BE HIGHLY AFFECTED BY THIS WEEKENDS
SNOWFALL AND COULD END UP BEING COLDER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.
FOR NOW A MODEL BLEND WILL SUFFICE.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

WIDESPREAD IFR/MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. SNOW IN THE EAST WILL TAPER OFF AT
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. BETWEEN 6Z AND 9Z -FZDZ/-FZRA WILL BE
POSSIBLE NEAR KMBG/KABR/KPIR. THEN BEHIND THE SYSTEM MORE SNOW IS
EXPECTED ALONG WITH INCREASING WINDS FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH WINDS GUSTING AS HIGH AS 40 KTS NEAR KPIR. THE WIND
AND SNOW COULD CAUSE VERY LOW VSBYS...PARTICULARLY AT
KMBG/KABR/KATY. SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL TAPER OFF NEAR
KMBG/KPIR SUNDAY MORNING THEN AT KABR/KATY BY LATE AFTERNOON.
