Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 1155 AM CST Fri Jan 12 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Extended Winter Weather Advisory to end at noon CST for north central counties. - Dangerously cold wind chills tonight through Tuesday morning. Key Messages in long term: - Frigid temperatures through Monday, coldest day will be Saturday. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... Issued at 414 AM CST Fri Jan 12 2024 The main forecast concern in the short term is with snow chances continuing this morning, then impacts from strong winds and snow cover tonight into Saturday. As for the ongoing snow this morning, did decide to extend the Winter Weather Advisory for the north central counties until noon CT. System has been a little slower moving than anticipated with the deformation setting up mostly across north central Nebraska, extending southward. Trended towards the RAP model as this seems to have the best handle on the deformation setup and timing, anticipate most of the snow to be out by noon. A secondary impact from the recent snowfall will be the potential for blowing snow/ground blizzard conditions. There will also be the potential for some additional new snow accumulations around 0.5 inch or less late afternoon and evening. Winds are expected to increase heading into tonight with gust of 35 mph or greater possible, however at this time confidence is low in blizzard criteria being reached, thus have held off on any blizzard headlines with this forecast. Once concern leading to the lower confidence, observations over the last 12-18 hours visibility was generally around 3/4 of mile or more with these fine, needle type snowflakes, with only a few brief observations during the heaviest snowfall dropping to 1/4 mile. To meet blizzard conditions would need to be at a 1/4 mile for 3 consecutive hours. As for temperatures today, did trend cooler as most models were in consensus coming in a few degrees colder, which seems to be the trend over the last several model runs, trending colder. Strong northwest winds combined with cold high temperatures, only in the single digits to low teens today will lead to wind chills as cold as -29 degrees today. Then temperatures will plummet this evening as air temperatures will be around 10 to 20 degrees below zero and winds increase tonight, dangerous wind chills will reach -50 degrees across the northern Sandhills. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... Issued at 414 AM CST Fri Jan 12 2024 Frigid temperatures will continue through the weekend as a reinforcing cold from will bring even colder Arctic air southward. EFI guidance continues to lead to greater confidence that temperatures may approach record cold for high temperatures on Saturday. Some relief will come on Tuesday as the Low begins to move eastward and a weak upper level ridge builds in across the west giving some reprieve with highs in the 20s on Tuesday and reaching the mid 20s to mid 30s by Wed. Another front may move in Wed night and bring colder temperatures and a chance for snow Thursday. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 1150 AM CST Fri Jan 12 2024 North winds will begin to pick up across the area, especially by tonight. Areas of reduced visibility will develop due to blowing snow. In addition falling snow is possible which will further the potential for blowing snow. Widespread MVFR conditions will prevail tonight. Ceilings lift on Saturday with VFR expected to prevail by midday. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Chill Warning from 6 PM CST /5 PM MST/ this evening to noon CST /11 AM MST/ Tuesday for NEZ004>010-022>029-035>038- 056>059-069>071-094.

Snow will continue through mid afternoon, across portions of north central Nebraska with up to an inch of additional accumulation over Holt, Boyd, Wheeler and Garfield counties. Gusty winds may also contribute to blowing snow, especially in open areas. Be prepared for slick roads and reduced visibility. Wind chill values will also drop as low as -20 degrees this afternoon across north central Nebraska. There will be additional chances for snowfall late this afternoon through the evening, mainly over west central and southwestern Nebraska. Light accumulations are expected. Winds become strong out of the northwest tonight as an arctic cold front pushes through the area. Gusts of 35 mph or higher will be possible and will lead to blowing and drifting snow along with dangerous wind chills of -30 to -50 degrees. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Brutal cold continues through Tuesday morning across the forecast area. A Wind Chill Warning is in effect with wind chills as low as -50 in northern Nebraska and -35 in southern Nebraska. Frostbite will be possible in as little as 5 to 10 minutes for exposed skin over the weekend. Additional snow chances exist essentially each day through Monday.

Low visibility will make travel hazardous especially on Saturday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not anticipated.
