Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hastings NE
444 AM CST Sat Feb 10 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 406 AM CST Sat Feb 10 2018

Early this morning, we do have some clearing and continued cold
air advection that allowed Ord to drop to -6 with a wind chill of
minus 20, which is technically marginally in the realm of Wind
Chill Advisory, but I do not anticipate that we will stay quite
that cold for wind chills for much longer, so I opted to leave
them out of a Wind Chill Advisory.

Latest short-term models still on track for essentially an
advisory-level snow for late this afternoon into this evening as
another jet streak induces more snow. With increased snow to
liquid ratios with the colder air mass, it should be fairly easy
to achieve 2 to 4 inches, judging by the past snowfall, and for
the most part this looks like it will hit south of the tri-
cities. This matches up fairly well with WPC. The ECMWF paints
the axis of snow farther north, so we may need to pay attention
where exactly the snow develops tonight as the ECMWF has been a
fairly good predictor of snow placement so far. For now, a Winter
Weather Advisory has been issued for essentially the southern half
of the CWA, south of the tri- cities.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 406 AM CST Sat Feb 10 2018

We will continue to be stuck in a cold pattern within a mean
large-scale trough influence with an occasional warm blip, and for
now it appears that Wednesday may be on the mild side with highs
in the 40s, but nothing that would be considered highly unusual.
The forecast is predominantly dry for the long term, but
precipitation cannot be completely ruled out in association to
potential smaller scale low-amplitude waves.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 06Z Saturday)
Issued at 1049 PM CST Fri Feb 9 2018

The main band of snow has shifted south of the terminals, however
lighter snow will continue for a few more hours with the snow
expected to end around 08Z. New snow accumulations are expected to
average 2 to 3 inches. Ceilings will gradually improve tonight,
but lower again Saturday afternoon when another disturbance moves
through bringing chances for light snow. The greater snow
accumulations Saturday afternoon and evening favor areas south of
the terminals.
