Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 4:54 AM MST, 4 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 554 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2023 ...Aviation Update... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 402 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2023 Key Messages: - A winter storm will continue through Thursday morning across the central Sandhills, north central Nebraska and the eastern Nebraska Panhandle. Northerly winds gusting as high as 40 to 45 mph will cause blowing snow and low visibility at times. - Bitter cold wind chills ranging from 25 below to 40 below are expected tonight into Thursday morning. - Another storm may impact the area Sunday night, with the possibility of rain and strong winds. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday) Issued at 402 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2023 A winter storm is underway. A large upper trough was located over the Great Basin with the H5 trough axis extending south through Idaho and Arizona. A strong Arctic cold front pushed through the area by late last evening, with temperatures as of 3 am CST, from 3 below at Gordon and single digits north central to to to 15 above southwest. Adjusted high temperatures downward, with steady or falling temperatures through the day. By late afternoon, temperatures from around zero to 5 below northwest to the middle single digits southeast. Combined with northerly winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph, wind chill values will fall to as low as 15 to 25 below today. Substantial isentropic upglide will remain in place across western Nebraska up to 600mb for today, which will become downglide by 03Z Thursday across the west. This will bring persistent light to moderate snow today across the winter storm warning area, with light snow at times across the winter weather advisory area. For tonight, the upper trough axis will move into southwest Nebraska early this evening and central into north central Nebraska by midnight CST. This will bring a period of moderate to briefly heavy snow to areas east of Ogallala through Valentine. The snow will quickly end by 06Z across the southwest, and the northeastern area after 09z. Storm total snowfall amounts remain close to the previous forecast. Lows tonight were lowered to the NBM from 5 below to 20 below, with the coldest readings across Sheridan and western Cherry County. Regarding wind chills, the bitterly cold temperatures will combine with a breezy northwest wind to produce wind chills as low as 25 to 40 below tonight. These dangerous wind chills are included in the current winter storm warnings and advisories currently in effect now until 18Z Thursday. Bitter cold temperatures will persist again on Thursday. went slightly below the latest NBM for highs. Only around zero fore highs across north central Nebraska and from 5 to around 10 above further south. Northwest winds will remain breezy across the east, while becoming light across the west. Wind chills will only improve to 10 to 20 below across north central Nebraska during the afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 402 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2023 Surface high pressure will build in Thursday night with skies to become mostly cloudy overnight. A weak disturbance in southwest flow aloft could generate a period of light snow. Most models are mostly dry, with the GFS more aggressive with light QPFs mainly south of Highway 2. Currently have a slight chance forecast mainly over the central Sandhills. Bitterly cold with lows from 5 below to 15 below over most locations. Winds will be light, become southeast across the west. Wind chill values as low as 25 below across north central Nebraska Thursday night through mid morning Friday. Temperatures will moderate on Friday as arctic high pressure moves east over the Great Lakes and upper MIssissippi Valley. Will see a return south wind, which will be breezy across the west. Highs will be from 15 to 20 degrees warmer than on Thursday, yet very cold in the teens northeast to the low 20s southwest. A deep closed low will move into southern California on Saturday, as upper ridging returns to the Southern Plains and Central Rockies. This will signal a warmup for the weekend with upper 30s to mid 40s Saturday and low 40s to low 50s Sunday. As upper ridging builds over the region on Sunday, the closed low will lift through the Four Corners to Colorado and New Mexico by late afternoon. This will cause deep cyclogenesis across eastern Colorado into western Kansas. Some Gulf moisture will be drawn northward, with dewpoints potentially reaching the lower 40s across the southeast. Looks like a period of elevated instability which may trigger scattered showers during the evening across the southeast. Can't rule out a few thunderstorms, as any strong or severe storms should be focused to our southeast across Kansas and southeast Nebraska. In the wake of this system, temperatures look to be seasonable with a slight chance for precipitation by Tuesday night. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 540 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2023 A strong storm system will continue to impact the area through Thursday morning. Gusty north to northwest winds and persistent light to occasionally moderate snow is expected across northern Nebraska. Lighter, more sporadic snow is expected across southwest into central Nebraska. Widespread MVFR ceilings can be expected. Conditions overall should improve toward sunrise Thursday morning. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
