NWS Forecaster Discussion
046 fxus63 klbf 102128 afdlbf Area forecast discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 328 PM CST Wednesday Mar 10 2010 Synopsis... double 500 mb low over the South Dakota and northern Nebraska with 500 mb low over Oklahoma. As seen in infrared. && Discussion... models in good agreement today and have good confidence in the forecast. GFS and NAM both picking up on precipitation over southwest Nebraska this afternoon. Have upped probability of precipitation tonight across southwest and north central as 500 mb lows swing back to the east. Quantitative precipitation forecast on the low side of HPC most places will see an inch or less of snow tonight. Thursday will be more interesting as low over Oklahoma turns north and deepens as energy from the Dakota system is absorbed combined. Temperatures will remain in the 30s on Thursday and Friday as colder air from the northwest is drawn into the backside of this system. Have undercut guidance by around 5 degrees with 850mb temperatures -3 to -5c and 700-850mb thicknesses falling into the 520 to 530 range tonight and continuing through Friday. Strong deformation zone with abundant lift and strong pressure gradient will see deteriorating conditions through the day Wednesday into Friday especially over north central. Will issue a Winter Storm Watch for north central Nebraska east of a line from Ainsworth to Broken Bow where significant snow accumulations are possible with the system through the night Friday. The question has been the amount of cold air with the system. Time of season with calving operations across the area and windy conditions expected and a significant amount of snowfall believe justify the watch. Wind Advisory possible for portions of western Nebraska Thursday and Friday with tight pressure gradient. System to wind down Friday night into Saturday with some sun on Saturday. With another southern stream system moving onto the plains Sunday night into Monday both GFS and Euro are bringing some precipitation to western Nebraska. Have left silent probability of precipitation for now. Temperatures warming into the 50s through middle week. && Aviation... mostly MVFR conditions are expected for western and central Nebraska tonight into Thursday morning...including the klbf and kvtn taf sites. It is possible that IFR may be experienced in any areas of snow. Surface winds will be north at 10 kts...increasing to 15 kts with gusts to 25 kts after 06z Thursday. && Hydrology... hydrology concerns continue over north central Nebraska where the Elkhorn river is out of its banks. Some reprieve for north central today as they have received little precipitation. Hydrology concerns return Thursday evening with expected quantitative precipitation forecast. && Lbf watches/warnings/advisories...none. && $$ Short term/extended...power aviation...Taylor hydrology...13
