AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
509 AM CST THU FEB 14 2013
.AVIATION...12Z TAFS FOR KOMA...KLNK AND KOFK.
SOME MVFR STRATOCUMULUS MAY AFFECT KOMA THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE AT KOFK BY 15-17Z AND
KLNK/KOMA BY 16-18Z. UNTIL THE FRONT ARRIVES...COULD ALSO SEE LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT ALL TAF SITES AS WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE
ARE LIKELY 35 TO 40 KNOTS. NORTHWEST SURFACE WINDS AROUND 10-12
KNOTS WILL INCREASE TO 15 TO 18 KNOTS THROUGH LATE MORNING...AND
EVENTUALLY UP TO SUSTAINED 20-22 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 30-32
KNOTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS THE STRONGER SURGE MOVES THROUGH.
BELIEVE SOME LIGHT SNOW COULD ALSO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
AFFECT KOFK 22-02Z...AND KOMA BY 00-04Z BUT NOT SURE IT WOULD MAKE
IT FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO AFFECT KLNK. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH BY
02-04Z AS COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE REGION.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 352 AM CST THU FEB 14 2013/
DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM CONCERNS WILL BE WINDS AND WIND HEADLINES...POTENTIAL
FOR LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES...AND TEMPERATURES...THEN IN THE
EXTENDED POTENTIAL WINTER STORM NEXT THURSDAY.
A SHORTWAVE TROF OVER MINNESOTA BROUGHT A WIND SHIFT THROUGH THIS
EVENING...WITH A FEW SPRINKLES WITH IT AND AT 09Z THESE WERE
AROUND FNB. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IS FOLLOWING BEHIND IT OVER THE
DAKOTAS AND THIS WILL SWEEP THROUGH TODAY WITH REINFORCING COLD
AIR...STRONG WINDS...AND SOME LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES.
STRONGER 25 TO 30 MPH SURFACE WINDS WITH GUSTS AROUND 40MPH ARE
SHOWING UP FROM EASTERN MT INTO THE WESTERN DAKOTAS...BEHIND THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT AND IN THE AREA OF STRONGER H85 WINDS AROUND
45KT. THE MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF SLIGHTLY ON THE H85
WINDS...HOWEVER CURRENTLY ARE UNDER-DOING THE SURFACE WINDS IN
THE WESTERN DAKOTAS. CONCERN LOCALLY IS HOW STRONG WINDS WILL GET
AND IF AN ADVISORY IS NEEDED. SURFACE WIND MAX WILL WORK INTO
PARTS OF NORTHEAST NEBRASKA LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON.
THE PATTERN IS FAVORABLE FOR STRONG WINDS WITH A CLIPPER MOVING
THROUGH...STEEP LAPSE RATES AND GOOD COLD AIR ADVECTION. HAVE
ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM
SEWARD TO COLUMBUS AND WAYNE. THIS ADVISORY CAN BE ADJUSTED AS
NEEDED. HIGHS TODAY SHOULD BE IN THE 30S NORTH AND 40S FARTHER
SOUTH.
THE SHORT TERM MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE MAIN AREA OF
LIGHT SNOW WILL BE NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA FROM THE DAKOTAS
INTO WISCONSIN...HOWEVER...AS THE COLD AIR DEEPENS...WITH
SATURATION AND DENDRITIC TEMPERATURES...WE MAY GET SOME LIGHT
SNOW AND FLURRIES INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA AND WESTERN IOWA. WITH THE
STEEP LAPSE RATES...HAVE SOME MINOR LIGHT SNOWSHOWER ACCUMULATIONS
OF LESS THAN HALF AN INCH FROM NORTHEAST NEBRASKA INTO WEST
CENTRAL IOWA WITH FLURRIES FARTHER NORTH. DEPENDING ON THE
INTENSITY OF THE SNOW...THERE COULD BE SOME BRIEF VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS WITH BLOWING SNOW. THE FLURRIES MOVE OUT THIS
EVENING...HOWEVER CYCLONIC FLOW AND WITH COLD TEMPERATURES IN
PLACE FOR FRIDAY MORE LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE.
FRIDAY/S HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN THE 20S AND 30S.
MID LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS IN FOR SATURDAY AND FOR NOW THE
PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO BE TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA WITH THE
WARM AIR ADVECTION. HIGHS SATURDAY SHOULD MODERATE INTO THE 30S
AND 40S.
TO START OUT THE EXTENDED...EVEN WARMER AIR IS FORECAST FOR
SUNDAY WITH HIGHS BACK IN THE 40S AND 50S. THE NEXT MID LEVEL TROF
DRAGS A FRONT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH THE BULK OF THE
PRECIPITATION CLOSER TO THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS. THE STORM SYSTEM TAPS DEEPER MOISTURE ONCE IT MOVES EAST
OF THE EAST. LIKE TONIGHT...THERE MAY BE SOME MINOR PRECIPITATION
CHANCES...BUT TOO LOW TO MENTION AT THIS TIME. COLDER AIR WORKS
IN BEHIND THE STORM SYSTEM FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH SOME
MODERATION WEDNESDAY. A LARGE STORM SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE OVER THE
ROCKIES WEDNESDAY AND AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER
KANSAS...DRAWS DEEP MOISTURE NORTHWARD. THE TRACK OF THE LOW
ACROSS KANSAS INTO MISSOURI AND IOWA WOULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ACROSS PARTS OF NEBRASKA AND IOWA
ACCOMPANIED BY WINDY CONDITIONS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORM
THURSDAY. THERE IS FAIR MODEL AGREEMENT A WEEK OUT...SO WILL NEED
TO ADJUST FOR THE TRACK AND STRENGTH AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE
EVENT.
