What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Omaha, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Apr 12, 12:21 PM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 12:21 PM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE
1221 PM CDT Thu Apr 12 2018
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 404 AM CDT Thu Apr 12 2018
A very complex forecast continues as a powerful storm system
takes aim at the region early this weekend.
Main forecast change for this cycle, in collaboration with our
neighboring offices, was to remove all mention of freezing rain.
Point forecast soundings indicate a transition over to sleet before
turning over to snow with little in the way of any freezing rain.
Any long duration sleet event will have a significant impact on
lowering total snowfall amounts.
Otherwise, no changes have been made to the Winter Storm Watch
that was hoisted Wednesday afternoon.
A weak surface cold front continues to push south across the
forecast area and is forecast to stall along the KS/NE border later
this morning. Meanwhile, a lee cyclone will strengthen over the
High Plains this afternoon ahead of a potent upper level trough
which is forecast to close off over the Colorado Rockies by Friday
morning. Ahead of this, the lee surface cyclone will move
east/northeast along the KS/NE border, pushing the stalled frontal
boundary northward as a warm front this evening. Ahead of the
low, strong southerly winds over the Central Plains will transport
50's to lower 60's surface dewpoints into the southern portion of
our CWA through the evening. Elevated convection is possible later
this evening along and north of the warm front as veered
nocturnal low-level jet increases. Best chances will be across
northeast Nebraska and west-central Iowa this evening.
Strong vertical forcing for ascent greatly increases Friday as
the mid-upper level low moves east across central Nebraska
through the day Friday with the surface low moving into
southeastern Nebraska during the same time. Very steep mid-level
lapse rates are forecast as mid-levels cool on approach of the
upper system. In addition, the warm sector should be modestly
unstable with a very strong vertical wind shear profile by
mid/late Friday afternoon. The NAM remains very aggressive in
developing a convective line, and is the most western model, with
storms firing along the MO river valley and surging them
northeast. The GFS placement of the surface low seems too far
removed northward and so have gone closer to a ECMWF placement. A
narrow sliver of our far southeastern CWA remains in a slight risk
for severe storms Friday with the brunt of the strong convection
remaining to our south and east.
Now onto winter talk.
Rain should change over to snow from northwest to southeast
beginning in our northwest as early as midnight Friday night into
Saturday morning. As mentioned above, feeling is that there will be
a transition over to sleet before becoming all snow which could
lower overall snowfall totals. Will error on the side of caution and
continue with model trends, keeping near a foot of total snowfall
across our far northwestern counties as very impressive mid-level
frontogenetic forcing remains over the area. Have lesser amounts
toward an inch or two as we head south toward the I-80 corridor. As
if a foot of snow isn't enough across northeast Nebraska, a
strong Canadian high pressure system will press southward creating
a very tight pressure gradient across the region. Forecast winds
speeds of 40-50mph with likely higher gusts will lead to blizzard
conditions across northeast Nebraska where travel of any kind will
likely be impossible.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 404 AM CDT Thu Apr 12 2018
The big storm system will be pressing east of the area by
Saturday night however winds may take some time to diminish as the
Canadian high quickly pushes south, keeping the tight pressure
gradient. This surface high moves overhead on Sunday and
eventually upper level ridging builds overhead by early next week.
Return flow quickly sets up ahead of a quick moving upper trough
progged to move into the forecast area Tuesday night into early
Wednesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1220 PM CDT Thu Apr 12 2018
Mesoanalysis as of 17z placed surface lows over south-central WY
and southeast CO with an associated warm front stretching through
far northeast KS and northern MO. To the north of the front, winds
will remain gusty from the east through this evening. Tonight, the
surface lows will consolidate over southern NE/northern KS with
the warm front lifting north through the TAF locations. Showers
and a few thunderstorms will be possible north of the warm front
overnight with the best potential at KOFK in the 13/08z-13/12z
time frame. MVFR to IFR ceilings are also expected to materialize
along to the north of the warm front with these conditions likely
to affect KOFK and KOMA later tonight into Friday morning. The
nocturnal strengthening of a LLJ across the mid-MO Valley will
result in LLWS criteria being met at KOMA and KLNK.

Although the threat for severe storms remains small, the strongest updrafts could be capable of producing hail approaching severe levels. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Very high fire danger is expected generally along and south of I-80 Friday afternoon. Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Friday afternoon and early evening over far eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa. The strongest storms will be capable of large hail, damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes. Rain will change over to snow across far northeast Nebraska Friday night, and across the entire area by Saturday afternoon. Blizzard conditions and significant snowfall accumulations are possible across parts of northeast and east central Nebraska, and a winter storm watch has been issued. Winds will gust 40 to 50 mph, and perhaps stronger at times. The area with the greatest chance for 6 to 12 inches of snow is northwest of a line from Neligh to Pierce to Coleridge. Farther southeast, lighter snow amounts are expected but the very strong winds will cause periods of near zero visibility and hazardous travel conditions. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
