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 Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Mar 24, 12:07 AM CDT, 3 hours 40 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • A chance for thunderstorms returns to areas mainly along and south of I-80 overnight tonight. Severe weather is not expected.
  • Cloudy and windy (gusts to 45 mph) Sunday with better chances for thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening. Some thunderstorms will have the potential to be strong to severe, mainly south of I-80, with hail/damaging winds being the primary threats.
  • Snow will be possible on the backside of this system, with several inches of accumulation possible mainly north and west of the Nebraska Tri-Cities. Due to the potential for 50 to 55 MPH winds accompanying this snow, a winter storm watch is now in effect for several counties across south central Nebraska.
  • Very cold start to the day Tuesday, with widespread wind chills below zero and approaching minus 10 degrees north of I-80.
  • Warmest day of the forecast period is Thursday, when 60s to near 70 degree temperatures are expected. Unsettled weather returns Thursday night into Friday.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 253 PM CDT Sat Mar 23 2024

Clouds and a few showers/flurries moved across the forecast area
earlier today. The last of these radar returns should exit to
our east over the next couple of hours, with a mostly sunny,
but cool, finish to the day.

Southerly flow will then strengthen and begin to advect
additional moisture towards the local area overnight tonight.
As the atmosphere saturates, expect a bit of elevated
instability to allow for the development of isolated showers and
thunderstorms, although given the limited instability, severe
weather is not expected. An upper level disturbance is then
expected to lift northeast out of the longwave trough and across
the local area late Sunday afternoon and evening, providing the
forcing for additional shower and thunderstorm development.
Given the increased moisture and subsequent instability values
across the local area, some of the storms that do develop could
be on the strong to severe side, with the area of slight risk
from the SPC extending into our north central Kansas counties
and the marginal risk for severe weather extending further north
to roughly I-80. While the focus of strong to severe storms
should be during the late afternoon and evening hours, models
indicate a fair amount of shower and thunderstorm activity
across the area during the morning through early afternoon
hours Sunday, but confidence of much during this time period is
on the lower side, so trended pops down for the early part of
the day - with focus for more widespread development expected
after 4 PM. While shower and thunderstorm coverage during the
daytime hours tomorrow is a bit in question, winds are less
questionable, with wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph expected
throughout the day as a strengthening pressure gradient is
realized across the local area ahead of the surface low.

As the severe weather potential diminishes tomorrow evening,
the focus will shift to our northwest - where a rapidly
advancing cold front will be approaching the northwestern
fringes of the area by midnight. Models have fluctuated
significantly with snowfall amounts over the past couple of
days, and the latest NBM even has lowered totals across the
local area, but given the potential for this to shift again and
some models (like the EC/NAM) bringing a swath of much high
totals across our western counties, thought it was prudent to
issue a winter storm watch for the counties that will be most
impacted by 50 to 50 MPH and snowfall overnight Sunday and into
the daytime hours Monday.

As the upper level low then wobbles across the local area
Monday, expect snowfall to potentially linger into the evening
hours, before tapering off late Monday night. In fact, some
models have a secondary band of snow later in the day mainly
from the Tri-cities east on Monday, which could present an
additional challenge if it develops. Needless to say,
uncertainty is high, and may eventually need to not only
increase the snowfall totals, but spread the higher snowfall
totals further east as well. Stay tuned.

Behind this system, a cool start to the day Tuesday coupled with
still breezy northwesterly winds will result in sub-zero wind
chills across a large portion of the local area, with readings
as low as -10 across areas north of I-80. Thereafter, the
longwave trough should begin to transition eastward and a
warming trend should be realized Wednesday into Thursday - of
course depending on how much snow actually falls. If snow free,
temperatures should easily climb into the 60s to near 70 by
Thursday afternoon, making it the warmest day of the period.

Active weather is then expected to return for the end of the
week as an upper level disturbance breaks through the ridge and
brings a chance for some light rainfall to end the week.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1200 AM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

Rain showers move in from the west over the next few hours. Any
freezing rain accumulation should stay north of GRI/EAR. Cannot
rule out some isolated thunder, but probability too low to
include in this TAF issuance.

LLWS continues tonight until stronger surface winds arrive mid
Sunday morning.

Ceilings decrease to IFR Sunday morning, but most of the daytime
will remain dry. Better chances for rain (possibly some
thunderstorms) arrives Thursday evening.

251 PM CDT Sat Mar 23 2024

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Late this evening and through tonight, a chance for thunderstorms
returns to the outlook area, mainly for areas along and south of
Interstate 80 and into north central Kansas. Severe weather is not
expected.

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

During the day on Sunday, there will be the potential for
southeasterly winds gusting near 40-45 MPH, mainly for portions
of south central Nebraska and north central Kansas along and east
of Highway 281.

Sunday afternoon and evening, additional chances for
thunderstorms are expected to spread across the outlook area.
There will be the potential for some storms to be strong to
severe, mainly south of Interstate 80 and into north central
Kansas. Hail near the size of half dollars and wind gusts near
60 MPH look to be the primary hazards.

Sunday night into Monday, colder air building into the region
will bring a switch from rain to snow for portions of the outlook
area. The best chance for snow accumulations of at least one inch
look to be focused across portions of south central Nebraska,
with higher amounts possible north of Interstate 80 and west of
Highway 281, where a winter storm watch is now in effect for
several counties. In addition to the snow, there will be the
potential for wind gusts of 50 to 55 MPH, mainly across areas
west of Highway 281. These winds combined with any falling snow
could result in hazardous conditions, so be sure to stay up to
date with the latest forecast.

Finally, wind chill values will fall below zero across much of
the local area Tuesday morning with readings as low as 10 degrees
below zero possible in spots mainly north of Interstate 80.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
