Issued at 241 PM CST Fri Dec 28 2018 A highly amplified pattern was present across the CONUS and Canada this morning. Across the CONUS, a trough of low pressure extended from the Arrowhead of Minnesota southwest into northeastern, then western Nebraska. Southwest of this feature, a closed low was present over northern Arizona. High pressure was located northeast of the Bahamas with a ridge extending north into New England. A second ridge extended from the eastern Pacific into the Alaskan Panhandle and northern British Columbia. At the surface: High pressure was located over west central South Dakota. Across western and north central Nebraska, northwesterly winds were present with speeds ranging from around 10 MPH in the west to around 25 mph in the central and east. Skies had begun to clear in the central and east this afternoon with clear skies present in the west. Temperatures were cold with 2 PM CST readings ranging from 11 at O'Neill to 24 at Ogallala. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night) Issued at 241 PM CST Fri Dec 28 2018 Winds will subside this evening as high pressure builds into northeastern Nebraska. A reinforcing shot of arctic air will accompany the high with some of the coldest readings seen so far this winter. With fresh snowcover across most of the area went with the coolest guidance (EC) and utilized this for the min forecast tonight. High pressure will build south southeast into the Ozarks on Saturday. Winds will shift to the south and southwest across the forecast area with warmer air pushing into the region. Temps will struggle to reach the freezing mark in snow covered areas, while in the far southwest, readings will push into the mid to upper 30s. Low pressure will develop in the Canadian Rockies Saturday and will approach northeastern Montana by Sunday morning. Winds will shift around to the west overnight as warmer H85 air pushes into the region. Winds will be light in the evening so lows will probably occur in the late evening to early overnight hours with readings mainly in the teens expected. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 241 PM CST Fri Dec 28 2018 The before mentioned low, will track from nern Montana into the Dakotas on Sunday forcing a warm front through the area early in the day with a cold front approaching the northwestern forecast area late afternoon Sunday. This front will push into the forecast area with bitterly cold temperatures expected for Sunday night into Monday night. By Tuesday morning, wind chills of -10 to -20 are possible. In addition to cold temperatures behind the front, a nice area of mid level frontogenesis will spread from eastern Wyoming into west central and northern Nebraska Sunday night into early Monday morning. Inherited forecast had a mention of freezing rain Sunday night and have scaled that down freezing drizzle. ATTM, based on the latest BUFKIT soundings and NAM12 grid forecast, it appears the threat for freezing drizzle is there as the arctic front tracks across the forecast area Sunday night. For what its worth, the GFS solution is more aggressive with the cold air surge Sunday night, and is not indicating much of a freezing drizzle threat. As mentioned earlier, bitterly cold air will push into the region Monday and Tuesday behind the arctic front. Highs Monday will be in the teens to around 20 with Tuesday's highs ranging from the lower teens in the east to the lower 20s in the southwest.
