.DISCUSSION...
COMPLEX STORM THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT REMAINS MAIN FORECAST FOCUS.
SYSTEM IS SPAWNING WEATHER RANGING FROM SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS/TORNADOES TO OUR S TO FREEZING PCPN OR NEAR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS NEAR THE WRN CWFA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WILL BE UPGRADING
NEBRASKA PORTION OF WATCH TO BLIZZARD WARNING FAR W AND WINTER STORM
WARNING REST OF NEBR LATER TNGT THRU MON EVENING...DETAILS BELOW.
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND MONDAY. STLT SHOWED DEEP UPPER LVL LOW
PRESSURE CLOSING OFF OVER THE OK PANHANDLE. UPPER LOW IS FORECAST
SIMILARLY BY THE NAM AND GFS TO LIFT INTO NERN KS BY 06Z TNGT
DEEPENING SFC LOW PRESSURE OVR NERN KS BY THAT TIME...SLIGHTLY
SLOWER THAN YDA. SYSTEM HAS PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH WITH SFC
DWPTS IN THE MID 50S AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES VIA 12Z/18Z OAX
SOUNDINGS IN EXCESS OF 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL. UNSTABLE AIR HAS FED
INTO SERN NEBR/SWRN IA WITH CONVECTION INCREASING INTO THIS
AFTN...ALTHOUGH THUS FAR IT HAS REMAINED ELEVATED AND NON-SEVERE.
STILL SOME THREAT OF SVR THOUGH INTO THIS EVENING REMAINS AS
CIRCULATION AROUND SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AMPLE SHEAR IF A
LTL BETTER INSTABILITY/DRY SLOT CAN MAKE IT INTO SERN NEBRASKA NEXT
FEW HOURS. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO PCPN/PCPN TYPE TNGT. MILD AIR
CONTINUES TO WRAP AROUND THE LOW ALOFT WHICH HAS KEPT PCPN FROM
CHANGING TO SNOW IN NWRN CWA EVEN THOUGH LOWER 30S SFC TEMPS WERE
SPREADING SEWD AND THRU OFK AND BVN BY 20Z WITH THE CDFNT THRU LCG
AND OLU JUST BEFORE 21Z. THUS LOOKS LIKE MORE OF A FREEZING
RAIN/SLEET THREAT INITIALLY FOR NWRN ZONES. ISSUED A WINTER STORM
WARNING FOR KNOX...ANTELOPE AND BOONE COUNTIES BEGINNING THIS
EVENING BECAUSE OF THE FREEZING THREAT EARLY BEFORE PCPN CHANGES TO
ALL SNOW. EXPANDED THE MENTION OF SLEET/FREEZING RAIN TNGT FARTHER
EWD AS COLD AIR NEAR THE SFC SHOULD CONTINUE WORKING SEWD AND
EXTENDED THE WINTER STORM WARNING FARTHER EAST AS WELL LATER TONIGHT
BECAUSE OF THE PROBABLE MIX. COLD ENOUGH AIR SHOULD OCCLUDE AROUND
THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SFC/UPR LOW AS IT TRACKS INTO IOWA AFTER 06Z
TO ACTUALLY CHANGE TO PCPN TO SNOW QUICKER OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES
THAN PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST. HOWEVER...EXPECT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO
REMAIN LOW ENOUGH FOR THE SITUATION TO BE HANDLED WITH A WINTER WX
ADVSRY SOUTH OF THE PLATTE RIVER FROM LNK AND BIE WWD. SYSTEM WILL
NOT BE LACKING FOR WINDS ON MONDAY AS MODELS CONTINUE TO FORECAST A
VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND 850 MB WINDS OF 60 KTS TO COINCIDE
WITH COLD ADVCTN. AS PCPN CHANGES TO ALL SNOW OVER NWRN ZONES
BLIZZARD CONDS APPEAR LIKELY MONDAY SO ISSUED BLIZZARD WARNING
BEGINNING AT 12Z FOR ANTELOPE...KNOX AND BOONE COUNTIES. WILL
CONTINUE THE WINTER STORM WARNING E OF THERE TO MO RIVER...BUT EARLY
MIX MAKES VSBYS QUESTIONABLE ENOUGH TO HOLD OFF ON BLIZZARD
WARNING. ALTHOUGH A MIX REMAINS POSSIBLE IA ZONES WHERE THE WINTER
STORM WATCH WAS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED...STRONG WINDS WONT HIT TILL MON
AFTN AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS APPEAR THEY WILL BE LIGHT ENOUGH TO
HANDLE WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVSRY. FROM OMA S AND SE WILL
CONTINUE WITH NO HEADLINES AS STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO NOT APPARENTLY
HIGH TILL MONDAY AFTN AND FREEZING/FROZEN PCPN AMOUNTS APPEAR
MODESTLY LIGHT.
EXTENDED WARNINGS/ADVSRYS NRN ZONES THRU 06Z AS STRONG WINDS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THAT TIME CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL BLOWING. ALTHOUGH
SOME TRIMMING MAY BE NEEDED LATER IF CONDS IMPROVE. OTHERWISE WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO TUE WITH COLD TEMPS THEN EXPECTED MUCH
OF NEXT WEEK. KEPT SMALL SNOW CHANCES WITH NEXT CLIPPER WED INTO
EARLY THU BUT REST OF FCST DRY. LOWERED A FEW TEMPS IN THE EXTENDED
BUT OTHERWISE NO SIGFNT CHANGES.
