AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Hastings NE
1230 AM CDT Tue Mar 22 2022

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 320 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022

Biggest forecast challenges and efforts will revolve around the
winter weather system moving through tonight into Tuesday morning.

Deepening upper level trough will provide some short-term strong
synoptic lift overnight into very early Tuesday morning. Hi-res
models are advertising a transition to snow tonight in a band on the
northwest side of the surface low treking through Kansas into
Missouri. Given the strong cold air advection, and potential
moderate to strong intensity of precip rates which would help
encourage a transition to snow, we could accumulate a few inches
in a relatively short period of time. Not as worried by advertised
snow amounts from models, as models tend to drastically
overestimate snowfall for scenarios of liquid precip onset and
very strong winds. The bigger concern, however, is visibility as
the snow falls with winds this strong. A Winter Weather Advisory
seems prudent as the HRRR and RAP indicate that we could be
pushing gusts in the High Wind realm.

Being this late in the season, we could get warm enough Tuesday
morning to transition precip type back to rain before ending. Again,
snow amounts should not be much more than a few inches, given the
initial liquid precip and strong winds, and blowing snow (after the
snow has reached the ground) is not a huge concern, given these
conditions of a wet, warm surface for snow to cling to, and given
how wet the snow is anticipated to be.

Precip should end by late afternoon/early evening Tuesday as the
system pulls east. Models are advertising a closed low in the base
of the aforementioned trough that could keep at least some light
precip over our CWA (especially east), as the trough axis slows down
during its trek east.

After Wednesday, a dry period with moderating temperatures is in
store as the upper level ridge to the west edges east over time.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 06Z Wednesday)
Issued at 1229 AM CDT Tue Mar 22 2022

MVFR to IFR conditions are expected for the rest of the night as
rain changing to snow impacts the area.  Low ceilings and reduced
visibilities are expected in areas receiving snowfall.  Some low-
level wind shear is expected at both terminals through sunrise.
Northerly winds remain strong through the overnight, with sustained
winds around 20-25kts and gusts to 40kts possible.  Snow transitions
over to rain around mid-morning with visibilities and ceilings
improving to VFR by 17Z.  Windy conditions will impact both
terminals through the afternoon and into early evening.
