AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1133 AM CST SUN JAN 31 2016

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 406 AM CST SUN JAN 31 2016

COMPARED TO THE WINTER STORM SYSTEM SET TO ARRIVE FOR THE FIRST PART
OF THE WORKWEEK...THE WEATHER IN THE SHORT TERM PERIODS PALES IN
COMPARISON. THE OVERNIGHT HOURS SAW A FRONTOGENETIC BAND OF
RAIN/SNOW CROSSING OUR CWA PRIMARILY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE
80. A FEW LOCATIONS PICKED UP A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF PCPN AND SNOWFALL
WAS LIMITED TO GRASSY SURFACES AS TEMPERATURES AVERAGED IN THE
LOW/MID 30S WHILE THE PCPN WAS FALLING. THE BANDED PCPN WAS A QUICK
MOVER AND BOTH MODELS AND RADAR TRENDS INDICATE THE PCPN WILL MOVE
OUT BY MORNING.

SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN DECREASING
CLOUD COVER TODAY AND TEMPS WILL TREND COOLER THAN SATURDAY BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT WHICH MOVED THROUGH...BUT READINGS WILL STILL BE
ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S TO LOW 50S. THE WEATHER
PATTERN WILL UNDERGO CHANGES TONIGHT AS OUR WINTER STORM SYSTEM
MOVES INTO THE ROCKIES. ISENTROPIC LIFT AS INDICATED ON THE 295K
SURFACE INCREASES OVERNIGHT (MAINLY AFTER 06Z) AND CLOUD COVER WILL
THICKEN/LOWER WITH TIME. PCPN IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN
KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AND SPREAD EASTWARD TOWARD OUR SW CWA
TOWARD MORNING. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE SLOW TO SATURATE THE
LLVLS IN OUR SW ZONES AND HAVE ONLY CARRIED BUFFER LOW POPS FOR SNOW
AS THE BETTER CHCS FOR SNOW ARRIVE HEADING THRU THE DAY ON MONDAY.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 458 AM CST SUN JAN 31 2016

ONCE AGAIN THE PARAMOUNT FOCUS HAS BEEN ON THE IMPENDING...LIKELY
SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM STILL EXPECTED TO BLAST ESSENTIALLY THE
ENTIRE CWA WITH AT LEAST SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW BETWEEN MONDAY
DAYTIME AND TUESDAY NIGHT...ALONG WITH A HEALTHY DOSE OF STRONG
WINDS STARTING OUT FROM THE NORTHEAST BEFORE SHIFTING TO MORE TRUE
NORTHERLY. BECAUSE THE PARENT DISTURBANCE THAT WILL DRIVE THIS
EVENT IS JUST SNOW STARTING TO MAKE LANDFALL ON THE WEST COAST
(AND THUS WILL NOW BE BETTER SAMPLED BY THE UPPER AIR
NETWORK)...THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF "WIGGLE ROOM" FOR AT LEAST
SLIGHT UPWARD/DOWNWARD DEVIATIONS IN SPECIFIC SNOWFALL
EXPECTATIONS (MORE ON THAT BELOW). AT LEAST FOR NOW THOUGH...ONLY
FAIRLY MINOR (MEANING GENERALLY NO MORE THAN 0.5-1.5") ADJUSTMENTS
WERE MADE VERSUS THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...WITH THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST STILL CALLING FOR MAJORITY OF THE CWA TO GENERALLY
RECEIVE 8-12"...AND WITH FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES SUCH AS
VALLEY/GREELEY MOST FAVORED TO END UP WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER TOTALS
MAYBE CLOSER TO 5-6". AS MENTIONED HERE YESTERDAY...AT LEAST ON
PAPER...THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE OUR OVERALL-BIGGEST SNOW
MAKER SINCE A FEB. 2013 STORM...BUT WHEN CONSIDERING THE
BLOWING/DRIFTING POTENTIAL...ONE MIGHT HAVE TO GO BACK CLOSER TO
5-6 YEARS TO FIND SOMETHING THIS IMPACTFUL.

WITH THE BASIC "OFFICIAL" EXPECTATIONS LAID OUT...WILL NOW FOCUS A
FEW PARAGRAPHS ON WHAT WE KNOW VERSUS WHAT WE DON'T
(UNCERTAINTIES):

WHAT WE KNOW:

1) HAVE CONTINUED THE INHERITED WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE
CWA...BUT ADJUSTED BOTH THE START AND END TIMES A BIT AND ALSO
RE-ALIGNED THE AREA A BIT TO AT LEAST SLIGHTLY-BETTER ALIGN WITH
SURROUNDING OFFICES. VERY GENERALLY...HAVE STARTED ALL COUNTIES
SOUTHWEST OF A LEXINGTON-BELOIT LINE AT NOON MONDAY AND STARTED
ALL COUNTIES NORTHEAST OF THAT LINE (INCLUDING THE TRI-CITIES) AT
6 PM. OF COURSE...ONE WANTS NEVER WANTS TO TAKE HEADLINE START
TIMES (ESPECIALLY WITH A WATCH) TOO LITERALLY...AS AT LEAST LIGHT
SNOW COULD START OUT IN THE RESPECTIVE WATCH AREAS A BIT EARLIER
THAN THE OFFICIAL START TIME. CERTAINLY THE VAST MAJORITY OF TRUE
IMPACTFUL WINTER WEATHER SHOULD OCCUR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
DAYTIME...WITH THE STORM STEADILY VACATING THE CWA TUESDAY
EVENING. ALTHOUGH ACTUAL FALLING SNOW SHOULD LARGELY BE OVER BY 6
PM TUESDAY...OPTED TO LINGER THE WATCH THROUGH MIDNIGHT ALL AREAS
AS SOME BLOWING/DRIFTING WILL LIKELY CONTINUE.

2) THERE IS A CHANCE THAT "OFFICIAL" BLIZZARD CRITERIA OF 35 MPH
WINDS/GUSTS AND VISIBILITY FREQUENTLY BELOW 1/4 MILE (FOR 3 OR
MORE HOURS) COULD OCCUR WITHIN AT LEAST PORTIONS OF THE
CWA...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
KEEP IN MIND THAT BLIZZARD CRITERIA ACTUALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH SNOW AMOUNTS...ONLY WIND/VISIBILITY. CONSIDERED CONVERTING
THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A BLIZZARD WATCH AS SOME OFFICES TO OUR
EAST-NORTHEAST HAVE DONE...BUT GIVEN WE ARE STILL IN THE "WATCH
PHASE" AND NOT THE WARNING PHASE OF THIS EVENT...OPTED TO STICK
WITH THE ORIGINAL WINTER STORM WATCH PRODUCT ALONG WITH SEVERAL
SOUTHERN/WESTERN NEIGHBORS...WHILE ADDING "NEAR-BLIZZARD" WORDING
TO THE TEXT OF THE WATCH. AGAIN THOUGH...LATER UPGRADES MAY NEED
TO STRONGLY CONSIDER A BLIZZARD PRODUCT IF CURRENT TRENDS HOLD.

3) WE KNOW THAT THE ENTIRE CWA SHOULD SEE "SOME" SNOW...EVEN IF
THE STORM TRACK CHANGES A BIT AND ONLY RESULTS IN 1-2" IN A FEW
PLACES. IN OTHER WORDS...THERE WILL BE SOME IMPACTS...IT JUST A
MATTER OF WHETHER THEY ARE MODEST OR MORE MAJOR.

4) WE KNOW THAT WIND WILL BE A FAIRLY LARGE FACTOR WITH THIS
STORM. SUSTAINED SPEEDS MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL START OUT
GENERALLY 15-25 MPH FROM THE EAST-NORTHEAST...AND THEN INCREASE
CLOSER TO 30 MPH/GUSTS 40 MPH OUT OF THE NORTH LATER MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE BLOWING/DRIFTING WITH ANY APPRECIABLE
SNOW.

5) ALTHOUGH IT WILL CERTAINLY BE COLD...AT LEAST WE ARE NOT
TALKING TRULY DANGEROUS...ADVISORY/WARNING-WORTHY WIND CHILLS WITH
THIS EVENT. THE LOWEST WIND CHILLS SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE ZERO THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THE TIME...WITH SOME AREAS DROPPING ONLY SLIGHTLY
BELOW ZERO TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS.

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW (AT LEAST YET)/LINGERING UNCERTAINTIES:

1) MOST BASICALLY OF COURSE...THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY
REGARDING WHETHER THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA WILL TRULY SEE
WIDESPREAD 6-12" SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...OR WHETHER YET-TO-BE
RESOLVED SMALLER-SCALE FACTORS COULD REDUCE THE AREAL COVERAGE OF
THESE WARNING-CRITERIA AMOUNTS. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION VARIOUS
ASPECTS OF THE LATEST 00Z/06Z MODELS...THE OVERALL HIGHEST
CONFIDENCE IN HIGHER TOTALS SEEMS TO BE WITHIN THE CENTRAL CWA.
MEANWHILE...MODELS SUCH AS THE NAM TRACK THE MAIN SWATH OF SNOW
FAR ENOUGH SOUTH THAT A FEW OF OUR FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES
(ESPECIALLY VALLEY/GREELEY) MAY ONLY SEE 2-4" AT MOST.
MEANWHILE...IN THE FAR SOUTH (MAINLY KS ZONES)...THE LAST FEW GFS
RUNS HAVE BECOME A BIT CONCERNING WITH THE INTRUSION OF A MID-
LEVEL DRY SLOT ESPECIALLY LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
SHOULD THIS OCCUR...THIS COULD EASILY EAT A FEW INCHES OFF SNOW
POTENTIAL IN THIS AREA AS WELL.

2) COULD JUST ENOUGH WARMER AIR BECOME ESTABLISHED IN FAR
SOUTHEAST ZONES TO KEEP PRECIPITATION AS A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR A BIT
LONGER THAN EXPECTED ESPECIALLY MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY
NIGHT? THIS WOULD OBVIOUSLY CUT INTO SNOW TOTALS AS WELL. ALTHOUGH
HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN IN SOME AREAS MONDAY
AFTERNOON BEFORE LOW-LEVEL TEMPS REALLY START TO COOL...IT'S
POSSIBLE THAT THIS MENTION MAY NEED LINGERED INTO MONDAY NIGHT
ESPECIALLY IN THE THAYER/JEWELL/MITCHELL COUNTIES AREA.

3) THIS SYSTEM IS DYNAMIC ENOUGH THAT SOME THUNDER-SNOW IS
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN MORE INTENSE MESOSCALE BANDS...BUT IT'S NOT
A GUARANTEE EITHER. INTERESTINGLY...THERE LOOKS TO BE ENOUGH
MEAGER UPRIGHT CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY THAT MONDAY NIGHT COULD
FEATURE A FEW LEGITIMATE NON-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN AS CLOSE
AS 50-ISH MILES FROM THE FAR SOUTHERN/SOUTHEAST EDGES OF THE CWA.
IF THE TRACK SHIFTS NORTH MUCH MORE...A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER IN
OUR FAR SOUTHERN/SOUTHEAST ZONES MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION.

WITH THE MAIN POINTS/UNCERTAINTIES COVERED...HERE IS A BRIEF LOOK
AT THE OVERALL-EXPECTATIONS THROUGH THIS 6-DAY PERIOD:

MONDAY DAYTIME: THE MAIN MID LEVEL LOW TRACKS FROM THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST TOWARD THE NORTHERN TX PANHANDLE AREA. AS IT DOES
SO...AT LEAST LIGHT TO AT TIMES MODERATE SNOW WILL GRADUALLY
INVADE THE CWA FROM SOUTHWEST-TO-NORTHEAST...BUT ACCUMULATION
COULD BE LIMITED BY MARGINAL TEMPERATURES OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX.

MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY DAYTIME: CLEARLY THE 24 HOURS OF GREATEST
CONCERN. ALTHOUGH PLACEMENT VARIES AT LEAST SLIGHTLY...THE GENERAL
CONSENSUS LIFTS THE POWERFUL MID LEVEL LOW NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS KS
INTO IA/MO...PLACING THE CWA IN A FAVORABLE POSITION FOR MODERATE
TO HEAVY DEFORMATION BAND SNOW AND STRONG NORTH WINDS.

TUESDAY NIGHT: THE SYSTEM QUICKLY DEPARTS TOWARD THE GREAT
LAKES...WITH SNOW LIKELY ENDING RAPIDLY FROM WEST-TO-EAST A FEW
HOURS EITHER SIDE OF SUNSET. FORTUNATELY...WIND SPEEDS LOOK TO
DROP OF A BIT SOONER THAN EARLIER THOUGHT (ESPECIALLY TOWARD
SUNRISE)...BUT AT LEAST SOME MODEST BLOWING/DRIFTING COULD PERSIST
INTO A PORTION OF THE NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY DAYTIME-THURSDAY NIGHT: DESPITE THE PASSAGES OF A FEW
MUCH-WEAKER NORTHWEST FLOW WAVES...THIS MARKS A RETURN TO A
PRECIP-FREE FORECAST. SUPPOSE A FEW FLURRIES CANNOT BE RULED OUT
BUT NOT MENTIONED. FRESH SNOW COVER LIKELY TO PUT A DAMPER ON
TEMPS...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 20S TO NEAR 30.

FRIDAY DAYTIME-SATURDAY: MUCH THE SAME...AN OFFICIALLY DRY
FORECAST CONTINUES BUT IT'S POSSIBLE LATER FORECASTS MAY NEED TO
CONSIDER SOME FLURRY/VERY LIGHT SNOW POTENTIAL MAINLY FOR FRIDAY.
TEMPS REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE OF AVERAGE...WITH HIGHS MAINLY LOW-
MID 30S.
