Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hastings NE
1202 AM CST Sun Jan 21 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1145 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

The freezing drizzle for later tonight into Sunday morning is
starting to appear less likely as temperatures have been warming
more than forecast models indicated and thus it now seems that we
may just get drizzle with temperatures around or just above
freezing in most areas especially along and south of Interstate
80. It will be a close call on temperatures tonight, but
confidence in freezing drizzle is decreasing.

UPDATE Issued at 830 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

All systems cont go for relative extremes of snow and wind here
on the Cntrl Plns...especially beginning Sun afternoon with snow
arriving Hwy 283 and spreading E. Frzg drzl is less certain during
the day Sunday...but it wouldn't take much to be a major headache
even before the snow starts flying.

Warning and Advisory posted for frzg drzl...heavy snow and wind
that is likely to cause serious disruption of normal activity.

The frzg drzl potential daytime Sun and windy conds lingering into
Mon could make this feel like a longer duration (24-36 hr storm).

Uncertainty: are we far enough SE with the warning? The dry slot
will limit accums S and E of the Tri-Cities...but it looks like
Srn tip of the wrap-around/commahead snow shield will sweep thru
those areas. Do we need a Blizzard Warning?

Blizzard: we came very close to issuing the warning on the day
shift today and it may eventually come to that. This is a major
concern. For now we're advertising "near blizzard" conds in our
text products and graphics. The night shift will re-evaluate this
potential but we need to coordinate the decision with LBF/GLD.

Snowfall Axis: heaviest from Tri-Cities N and W. We are fcstg at
least 6" from Alma-Hastings-Columbus. 1-5" to the S and E of that
line...7-13" to the N and W.

Snow Algorithm based on blend of model QPFs and snow ratios
offers 8" Grand Island...9" Kearney...10" Cambridge...12"
Lexington...13" Loup City and Ord. Much more is available on snow
potential ranges on our website.

00Z NAM: it's in line with this thinking and supports our current
warning/advisory config. Am concerned about the 1.5" liquid
equivalent over Greeley county. The 18Z RGEM has that much over
Sherman/Valley counties. That suggests some parts of the warning
area could see more than 13". That is possible.

Snowfall Rate: around 1" per hr in the warning area...especially
               Sun night.

Dry slot: it will be a player over the SE 1/3 of the CWA.

Winds: increasing to 25-35 mph with gusts 40-50 mph from 12 AM Mon
       to 3 PM Mon.

Drifting: 3 to 5 ft likely.

Impacts: very difficult to impossible travel via land and air.
The heavy snow and extensive drifting will make many rural roads
impassable. Strong winds will lead to blowing snow and near zero
visibility...especially outside cities/towns.

Prepare for cancellations of activities/school. We're already
seeing cancellations for Sun and this is likely to extend into
Mon.

Snow will result in temporary runway closures at area airports
for plowing ops.

After the snow ends Mon...no walk in the park. Recovery will be
hampered by strong winds gusting 40-50 mph with continued drifting
and brief whiteout conds.

Recommendation: based on all the fcst info we have available...
you should be wherever you can be safe and comfortable for 24 hrs
beginning at 3 PM Sunday. The frzg drzl is a wildcard. If and
where that materializes...it may be best to stay put as early as 6
AM Sun.

Suggest no travel...but if you must...take it slow and have
blankets/water/food and an emergency kit in case an accident
halts travel.

This will be the heaviest snowstorm of the winter thus far.

In cities/towns...be sure to dig out the fire hydrants if needed
after the storm is over.

Please relay snow accum reports to us via social media. Pics with
ruler or tape measure will be especially helpful. Be sure you're
measuring in an area that is representative of the average (no
drifts). We realize most of this will fall at night...but if
you're up and can safely do so...reporting when you reach 6" would
be very helpful. Otherwise...we'll wait for storm total amts once
the snow is over. TUVM!

UPDATE Issued at 534 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

Areas of dense fog have been added to the fcst S and E of the
Tri-Cities tonight into tomorrow...and fog will probably last into
the afternoon S of I-80. A blend of the HRRR and LAMP vsby
guidance are rarely wrong...and they are hitting the fog
possibility hard. The environment is favorable with stratus
lingering HJH/BIE/LNK etc and temps should easily radiate past
peak afternoon dwpts which are relatively moist.

Given skies will become OVC tonight...will probably raise low
temps to the consensus of model 2m temps later on this shift. Want
to wait and see how this stratus evolves this eve.

Will have much more this eve on latest model runs and other misc
thoughts.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 302 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

The approaching winter storm is, of course, the focus for the short
term. The main snowband still looks focused just northwest of the
tri-cities. For the past day or so, however, a secondary band is
advertised by the NAM to develop just east of the tri-cities.
However, the trends are farther east with this band, and it might
very well not wind up being an issue for our CWA. Trends are toward
a slower departure for the snow, and if anything, this will likely
mean higher snow amounts for some in the main band, and a better
chance for poor visibility with the wind gusts still expected to
frequently reach near 45 to 50mph Monday morning.

As for freezing drizzle potential, it continues to look like a
distinct aggravation before the big storm hits as most of us will
lie on the cold side of a surface front that stalled to the south. I
backed up the warning time late tonight and added several counties
to include this freezing drizzle potential and converted the rest
of the watch to winter weather advisory starting at 09Z. Our far
south should be warm enough where we will not have to worry so
much about drizzle freezing, which makes things a bit more
complicated.

Overall, I increased amounts with the main snow band in our
northwest and tightened up the gradient on the southeast side.
Part of the advisory area could conceivably need upgraded if wind
causes a bigger issue with snow, but I needed convert the watch
because of the expected winter precip starting tonight with the
freezing drizzle.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 302 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

There is still high confidence that a heavy snow producer in the
works for Sunday night into Monday morning as agreement is firm.
Although trends were edging the main snow band northwest on the
previous runs, the track wobbled a bit farther southeast again.
The 700 mb track still favors the heavy band in our northwest.
Divergent Q vectors in the 500-300 mb level still indicate an
overall increase in large scale lift Sunday evening.

Monday morning winds will be strong and this has been a consistent
forecast. We could be pushing blizzard in our west, but this can
be upgraded if it looks worse than it does now.,

Let the rest of the extended forecast ride for the most part as
most attention was this upcoming winter storm.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 06Z Sunday)
Issued at 1145 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

A major winter storm is now knocking on our door step and will
likely begin to really be felt by late Sunday afternoon into
Sunday night. At least near blizzard conditions could begin
impacting the area Sunday evening. Prior to the snow expect low
ceilings and visibility throughout much of the forecast period
with IFR, LIFR, and even VLIFR conditions expected. Snowfall
totals at both KEAR and KGRI by Monday morning will likely be
over 6 inches with wind gusts around 45 mph.
