AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
318 PM CST TUE DEC 18 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.

...WINTER STORM TO IMPACT AREA...

OBVIOUSLY MAIN CONCERN AND BULK OF SHORT TERM FOCUS WILL BE
DEALING WITH THE WINTER STORM THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

STRONG COLD UPPER TROUGH SEEN ON AFTERNOON SATELLITE IMAGERY WITH
WIDESPREAD CU ALONG AND INLAND FROM WEST COAST PLUS OCCASIONAL
LIGHTNING STRIKES. UA ANALYSIS THIS MORNING HAD 150+ M HEIGHT
FALLS AT H3 OVER NRN CA WITH H5 TEMPS -35 TO -39 OVR WRN OR/WA.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SLIGHT TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH TROUGH/PRECIP
...NAMELY NAM A BIT FASTER THAN GFS/ECMWF AND ECMWF PERHAPS JUST
A BIT SLOWER...DECENT CONSENSUS EXISTS IN STRONG FORCING
DEVELOPING IN TEMPERATURE/RH REGIME FAVORABLE FOR ICE CRYSTAL SNOW
GROWTH. THUS WITH QPF AMOUNTS FROM MODELS SIMILAR...GENERALLY IN
1/2-3/4 INCH RANGE...AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE FORCING STRONG IN
DENDRITIC ZONE...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT SNOW TOTALS+
EXPECTED WINDS WERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT ISSUANCE OF WINTER STORM
WARNING CENTRAL/SRN ZONES. WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20-25 KTS IN
SNOW AREA...AND SOME GUSTS OVER 35-40 MPH...NEAR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR WARNING AREA AND THUS WARNING
AREA WAS A BIT LARGER THAN THE 6+ INCH SNOW FORECAST. A SMALL
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AREA WAS INCLUDED ON NORTHERN PERIPHERY.
SINCE H85 WINDS DON/T BECOME BETTER ALIGNED WITH SURFACE WINDS
TILL SNOW BEGINS WINDING DOWN...PROLONGED BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
SEEMED MARGINAL THUS THE ISSUANCE OF WINTER STORM VS. BLIZZARD
WARNING...BUT THIS WILL BEAR WATCHING.

FEEL SNOW EVOLUTION WILL BEGIN LATE WED MORNING THROUGH MID
AFTERNOON ALONG A WEST TO EAST BAND NEAR OR NORTH OF I80 CORRIDOR
IN NEBR...DRIVEN BY ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE NOTED NEAR 295 K SURFACE.
SNOW AREA IS THEN EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE ALIGNED N-S IN THE
EVENING OR EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A MID LEVEL LOW PASSES TO OUR
SOUTH WITH FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING/TROWEL AIDING IN HEAVIER SNOW
TOTALS ALONG FAR ERN NEBR/WRN IA COUNTIES. 12Z NAM/GFS DOWN PLAYED
POSSIBLE UPRIGHT OR SLANTWISE CONVECTIVE BANDS NOTED ON EARLIER
RUNS BUT SYSTEM IS PRETTY DYNAMIC AND THAT COULD CHANGE AS SYSTEM
APPROACHES. SNOW TOTALS WERE FORECAST A BIT LESS IN FAR SERN
NEBRASKA DESPITE SIMILAR QPF TOTALS...DUE TO SLIGHTLY WARMER BYLR
TEMPS POSSIBLE DELAYING CHANGEOVER TO ALL SNOW PLUS KEEPING RATIOS
DOWN EARLY.

DROPPED TEMPERATURES TONIGHT NRN/WRN ZONES AS WINDS BRIEFLY DROP
OFF AND DRIER AIR WORKS IN...OTHERWISE LITTLE CHANGES TO
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THURSDAY. WITH FRESH SNOW COVER AND LIGHT
WINDS THURSDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE RIDGE PASSES OVERHEAD...LOWERED
LOWS 3-5 DEGREES KEEPING MOST BELOW GUIDANCE. SNOW SHOULD ALSO
HINDER WARM UP ON FRIDAY AS MIXING IS WEAK DESPITE WARM
ADVECTION...WITH BOTH PERIODS POSSIBLY NEEDING FUTURE MINOR
ADJUSTING AS FINAL LAYOUT OF SNOW COVER BECOMES APPARENT.

CHERMOK

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH CHRISTMAS

WEAK UPPER RIDGING WILL BE OVERHEAD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD
WITH COOL SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVING EAST OF THE AREA. WEAK RETURN
FLOW WILL SET UP OVERNIGHT BUT WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH OF A
WARM UP. WE WILL HAVE UNFAVORABLE MIXING CONDITIONS AND SNOWCOVER ON
THE GROUND TO KEEP TEMPS NEAR THE FREEZING MARK.

MAIN FOCUS IN THE EXTENDED IS THE EVOLUTION OF A LARGE SYSTEM MOVING
ONTO THE PACIFIC COAST. AS THIS SYSTEM TRACKS EAST ACROSS THE
CONTINENT...MODEL CONSENSUS DIGS A CLOSED LOW ACROSS THE FOUR
CORNERS REGION AND INTO THE PLAINS STATES. THERE REMAINS QUITE A BIT
OF SIGNIFICANT TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THIS POTENT SYSTEM. BUT IT
APPEARS THIS WILL AFFECT A LARGE CHUNK OF THE COUNTRY AROUND
CHRISTMAS TIME FRAME.
