What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS North Platte, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Mar 2, 10:51 AM MST, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 10:51 AM MST, 2 hours 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 1151 AM CST Sat Mar 2 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 330 AM CST Sat Mar 2 2019 The first of two back to back shortwaves will cross the area this morning. A strong FGEN induced band of snow is developing roughly along I-80 early this morning, and will remain nearly stationary from west to east through mid morning. Very high liquid to snow ratios will allow snow to be fluffy and accumulate quickly. Expecting about 2 to 3" of accumulation within this band through mid- morning, and will likely see locally higher amounts which will be mentioned in the ongoing winter weather advisory. The FGEN band weakens late this morning and shifts northeast across central into north central Nebraska. Snow will spread into these areas as this occurs with a couple of inches expected. Snow will taper to light this afternoon across southwest Nebraska where less than an inch of additional accumulation is expected. Otherwise continued cold today, with highs ranging from near 10 above across northern Nebraska to upper teens in southwest Nebraska. The second wave moves east across the Central and Southern Plains tonight. Models agree that the heavier band of snow should remain south in Kansas, but southwest Nebraska will see some snow. As far as accumulations, along I-80 from Big Springs to Sutherland about 1 to 2 inches is currently expected. From Sutherland through Brady about an inch, and 2 to 4 inches for areas south across Chase, Hayes and Frontier counties. The other story tonight will be the very cold temperatures, with lows as cold as 15 below across northwest Nebraska with dangerously cold wind chills all areas. Snow will end late tonight with mainly dry and very cold conditions Sunday. A wind chill advisory is in effect through Sunday, with highs struggling to reach 5 above across all areas of western and north central Nebraska. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 330 AM CST Sat Mar 2 2019 A couple upper lows revolve around Hudson Bay next week, which help dig a trough into the Great Lakes region. Meanwhile, an upper ridge builds over the Intermountain West and expands onto the High Plains, setting up primarily northwest flow for Nebraska. At the surface, a broad area of high pressure sets up along the Rockies and High Plains and eventually spreads into the Mississippi Valley. Overall, the wintry pattern of periodic snow chances and near record cold continues. Guidance has trended even cooler for Sunday night/Monday morning in the wake of this weekend's snow event and under the gaining influence of the Arctic high. Northwest flow, H85 temps around -20C, and a fresh snowpack will result in near record lows and cold highs. NAEFS ensembles continue to suggest temps in the low/mid levels near 1%ile of climo, indicating a very anomalous event. Forecast lows range from -8 to -15 Monday morning and with northwest winds up to 15 mph, wind chill values will approach -30 across the Sandhills. Will likely need to upgrade the newly issued Wind Chill Advisory to a warning after Sunday morning passes. Low level flow transitions to southerly midweek with modest WAA underway (H85 temps near -5C Wed and even above 0C late week). This should translate to highs in the 20s and lower 30s, but may be a bit optimistic depending on lingering snow cover. The next chance of precipitation comes late Wed into Thu as a potent shortwave crosses the Plains. Thermal profiles suggest snow as the main p-type. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1149 AM CST Sat Mar 2 2019 The main aviation concern will the continued chance of snow across the region into Sunday morning. At KLBF, light snow will come to an end in the next few hours with a brief break before snow moves back in early Saturday evening. Expect reductions in visibility in snow showers. At KVTN, snow will continue through Saturday afternoon before drier air moves in from the north pushing snow to the south. Ceilings at KVTN will rise above 5000 feet by 08Z Sunday. Ceilings will remain at or below 3000 feet at KLBF through the TAF period. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
