What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Dec 26, 10:48 PM MST, 3 hours 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 10:48 PM MST, 3 hours 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
1148 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 308 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2019

The models continue to advertise a vigorous warm air advection
driven precipitation event Friday night. The short term model blend
plus bias correction, where appropriate, was the basis for rain
changing to snow and freezing rain Friday evening. Ice accumulations
are about the same as the previous forecast and around 1/10 of an
inch of ice is predicted along and east of highway 83 with highest
ice accumulations near highway 183. Snow accumulations of up to 2
inches are in place Friday night throughout wrn and ncntl Nebraska
but given the strength of the forcing, locally higher amounts could
develop.

The forecast Friday night could go a variety of ways as the GFS,
known for deep mixing and warmer temperatures, suggests mostly rain.
Meanwhile, the NAM indicates a mix of rain and freezing rain
changing to snow and the 15z 39hr solution of the RAP model
indicated rain changing to snow. The blended forecast appears
similar to the NAM and the forecast suggests about 1/3 of an inch of
liquid should fall in the form of rain, snow and freezing rain.

All models indicate this area of precipitation will lift rapidly
north Friday night followed by a weakening or lull in the
precipitation early Saturday morning. This is the result of the
forcing on the h700mb warm front lifting in South Dakota and deep
convection across Kansas and eastern Nebraska blocking moisture
transport into western Nebraska.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 308 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2019

The models are beginning to congeal on the development of a wrap
around band of moderate to heavy snow Saturday across wrn
Nebraska. This band of snow will either lift north through wrn and
ncntl Nebraska as indicated in the ECM or translate northeast
through ncntl and northeast Nebraska as suggested by the GFS, the
GFS ensemble and the 12z NAM. The forecast follows a blended
approach but limits snow to liquid ratios to 14 to 1 which might
still be too high given the strong winds that are expected to
develop Saturday afternoon and last through Sunday night. This
snowfall forecast is close to the ECM and WPC with 6 to 10 inches
of snow throughout wrn and ncntl Nebraska. Highest amounts are
predicted along the SD border. Note that the 18z NAM does not show
this band of snow developing. The upper level low in the model is
still organizing Saturday evening and the model will skip over
Nebraska producing the heavy snow north of the region.

The wind forecast Saturday through Monday uses a blend of the
consensus MOS plus bias correction. This produced speeds of 25 to 30
mph and gusts to 45 mph which is close to the 30 mph surface speeds
suggested by the 500m AGL winds indicated in the models. The
prospect of blizzard conditions developing appears on the low side
as this storm will be operating in a very high moisture environment
with temperatures mainly in the upper 20s to around 30. This tends
to produce a sticky snow which generally hugs the ground.
Nonetheless, it appears this storm will approach the upper limit for
winter storms.

Overall the models are tracking the storm through Nebraska and
stalling it for a period of time across the Upper Midwest. This
slower motion is allowing for stronger winds and more moisture to be
ingested into the system. Storm total QPF across western and north
central Nebraska has increased to 1/2 inch to 1 and 1/4 inches. The
Winter Storm Watch will remain in place as the models are showing
east and west storm track differences which could ultimately exclude
some areas from winter storm conditions.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1113 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2019

Predominantly clear skies overhead per the latest satellite
imagery with high clouds upstream in eastern CO. Complex forecast
as conditions deteriorate starting mid-late tomorrow as winter
weather system moves onto the Central High Plains Friday night.
High-end VFR conditions (greater than 7 kft) with high clouds
filtering in rest of tonight. Tomorrow, low-end VFR ceilings
(less than 7 kft) spread into southwest NEB and the Sandhills with
ceilings deteriorating to MVFR and IFR across much of western NEB
by late afternoon. Meanwhile, rain chances increase in the
afternoon late afternoon-evening with potential for a wintry mix
starting late afternoon and evening across parts of southwest to
north central NEB. Conditions worsen in the evening with widespread
IFR to LIFR conditions early tomorrow night.
