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 North Platte, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Dec 23, 9:58 PM MST, 3 hours 53 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Key messages in the Short Term: -A complex, two-part winter storm will impact western and north central Nebraska Saturday night through Wednesday. -The first part of this storm, tonight through tomorrow (Christmas Eve) night: Precipitation initially falls as rain, before switching over to snow around midnight. Though accumulations look light with this first system, strong, gusty northerly winds will create blowing snow concerns and difficult travel conditions. Key messages in the Long Term... * Significant and intense snowfall will occur from Monday through Tuesday across extreme north central Nebraska and into central Nebraska where up to 10 to 18 inches are possible. * Blizzard conditions are possible Monday through Tuesday night for areas along and east of US-183 as northwest winds increase to 40 to 50 mph. * Travel will become hazardous as roads become snow covered and visibility gets reduced due to falling and blowing snow. * Quieter weather arrives for Wednesday through the end of the week, however, temperatures remain cooler due to recent snowpack. &&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 245 PM CST Sat Dec 23 2023

Water vapor satellite imagery and 500 mb analysis this morning shows
subtle differences in both the polar and subtropical jets. First,
the subtropical jet has a low amplitude ridge over the southern
United States, and trough over the desert southwest, with the trough
axis through central Utah into Arizona. The polar jet has a low
amplitude ridge over Manitoba, with a trough axis extending from
Alberta through western Montana and southern Idaho. This places the
subtropical jet trough axis slightly further east than the polar jet
trough axis, which plays into our two-part winter weather over the
next few days. At the surface, a low pressure system is located in
northeastern Colorado, with a warm front extending along the
Nebraska-Kansas border. Widespread cloud coverage is noted over
western and north central Nebraska, with rain showers across
Nebraska. Further west, a cold front is across eastern Montana and
Wyoming.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 243 PM CST Sat Dec 23 2023

The first round of the winter storm begins in earnest tonight.
Precipitation continues as rain this evening. As the cold front over
Montana and Wyoming moves east through Nebraska, precipitation will
switch over from rain to snow, with wintry mix along the front. HREF
guidance suggests the switchover begins just prior to midnight over
northwestern Nebraska. Over the following hours, the switchover to
snow continues moving eastward, with the majority of the area
experiencing snow around sunrise. With the above freezing surface
temperatures, snow accumulations do not look to be heavy with this
initial system, generally 1-3 inches across western and north
central Nebraska.

What is more concerning will be the strong and gusty northerly winds
across the area tomorrow. While snow accumulations look to be light,
any accumulating or falling snow will be affected by the winds.
Areas of blowing snow will be prevalent across western and north
central Nebraska tomorrow, creating hazardous travel conditions on
Christmas Eve.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 243 PM CST Sat Dec 23 2023

The developing low pressure system across the Great Plains will
continue to impact the region through Tuesday night. Colder air will
keep precipitation as all snow through the duration of this second
part of the winter storm system. After a brief period of lighter
snowfall Sunday night, snow will intensify Monday with peak snowfall
rates occurring on Monday night and into Tuesday morning across
areas generally east of US-183. During this timeframe, snowfall
rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will be possible. With snow ratios
of nearly 15:1 to 17:1, snow character will be light and fluffy,
helping snow to accumulate quickly. This will result in grand
snowfall totals of up to 14 to 18 inches across Boyd and Holt
counties. Locations east of a Valentine to North Platte line will
see 1 to 4 inches with a sharp increasing gradient just west of this
line. One concern is where exactly this gradient will set up. A
short shift either west or east will result in a drastic change in
snow totals. Those traveling should be prepared for rapidly changing
snow amounts over a short distance.

Besides snowfall, the main hazard heading into the extended will be
the increasing winds across the region. Winds will pick up by late
Monday morning continuing into Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Northwest gusts up to 40 to 50 (locally higher gusts) will be
possible. These gusts combined with falling snow will lead to
blowing and drifting snow and reduced visibilities through much of
the time period. Therefore, blizzard conditions will be possible
mainly across much of north central Nebraska.

To make matters worse, there is also some indication of some
increased convective elements to this system. This will lead to some
FGen bands that will result in heavier snowfall and increased
accumulations. Confidence remains low on where exactly these bands
will set up, but greatest probability will remain across the north
central area. Will continue to monitor the latest trends and
adjustments to accumulations may be needed as the banded snowfall
materializes.

Snow begins to diminish Wednesday morning completely pushing out by
Wednesday afternoon. Some lingering snowfall may result in some
minor additional accumulations across and east of the US-281
corridor. Drier conditions return through the end of the week,
however, recent snowpack and slightly cooler air will keep high
temperatures in the mid 20s to mid 30s for Thursday and Friday.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1049 PM CST Sat Dec 23 2023

A band a ran continues to shift gradually to the north roughly
along a OGA to TIF to just south of ANW line. This band will
expand over the next few hours with cold air undercutting it,
leading to a precipitation type transition from -RA to -RASN to
eventually all -SN. As this band intensifies, cannot rule out
a brief window of IP at LBF. Visibilities will gradually fall
with less than 1SM likely under peak snowfall at both LBF/VTN.
This likely favors immediately prior to sunrise through late
morning.

Precipitation will gradually downtrend through late afternoon
but as winds remain strong, will likely see continued BLSN
leading to visibility restrictions through late afternoon
Sunday. Ceilings may improve to VFR before the next round of the
winter event arrives just beyond the end of the period.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western and north
central Nebraska.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Rain will transition to a wintry mix tonight into early Sunday
morning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

A complete transition from wintry mix to snow is expected during the
day on Sunday with total snowfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches expected
through Sunday night. Strong northwesterly winds gusting up to 45
miles per hour are likely Sunday, subsiding some Sunday night. These
strong winds combined with falling/fallen snow will result in
blowing snow which will significantly reduce visibilities creating
hazardous travel conditions at times. A Winter Weather Advisory is in
effect for much of western into southwest and northern Nebraska from
12 AM CST Sunday to 6 PM CST Sunday.

Strengthening of the weekend storm system is anticipated Monday
through Wednesday which brings the potential of significant snow
amounts (6 to 12 inches, locally higher), favoring portions of north
central Nebraska at this time. Northwest wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph
is possible leading to reduced visibilities, blowing snow, and
snow covered roadways. Persons with holiday travel plans or outdoor
activities should continue to closely monitor the latest forecasts.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
