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 Oct 23, 12:14 PM MDT, 1 hour earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 23, 12:14 PM MDT, 1 hour before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service North Platte NE
114 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 424 AM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

Light snow continues to move east across western and north central
Nebraska early this morning. Snow totals are expected to be less
than an inch with some minimal accumulations on roadways. After
this band moves out of the area, skies will become partly cloudy
as high pressure builds over Nebraska. High temperatures will be
on the 30s during the afternoon with low temperatures in the low
20s and upper teens overnight.

On Saturday, a positively tilted longwave trough will strengthen
over the Rocky Mountains and move east over the Northern Great
Plains. At h250 an upper level jet will help enhance lift over
Nebraska. These factors will trigger the next major precipitation
event, which is expected to be low intensity and long duration snow
event. The dendritic growth zone will develop over the Sandhills
late Saturday, then move south thereafter. Precipitation will begin
as rain on Saturday afternoon in the northern Sandhills then
transition to light snow as temperatures decrease later in the
afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 424 AM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

On Saturday night, snowfall will continue to move south covering all
of western and north central Nebraska. The snowfall will last
through Sunday evening. Ensemble data suggests that most areas will
receive between 4 and 7 inches of snow by Monday morning. ECMWF
generally trended towards lower amounts, while the GFS trended
towards higher amounts. WPC accumulation predictions show one heavy
band of snowfall on north central Nebraska around Valentine and
O'Neill, and a second band in southwest Nebraska around Imperial.
Both of these areas are forecast to have around 6 inches of snow.
Areas in between, including North Platte, could see between 4 and 6
inches. Given some model uncertainities, a winter storm watch was
issued from Saturday night through Sunday night due to snowfall
potential.

Along with snowfall, gusty winds are expected on Sunday, with gusts
up to 30 miles per hour and sustained wind speeds between 10 and 20
miles per hour. These winds pose two hazards; blowing snow and
extremely cold apparent temperatures. Blowing snow will reduce
visibility and make travel dangerous. Already low temperatures
combined with the winds will create low apparent temperatures on
Sunday, which will be in the single digits during the day and
between -10 and zero by Monday morning.

On Monday, surface high pressure will begin to build over the Great
Plains again, leading to quieter weather. High temperatures will
gradually increase back to the upper 40s to low 50s on Wednesday and
Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 111 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

Drier air continues to push southward into the area and this will
lead to a decrease in low cloud cover (MVFR) though the afternoon
with VFR expected tonight. North winds will become southeast
around 10 kt later tonight.
