gabel23 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 That is crazy! North Platte now included in the Blizzard warning, they are looking for 10-14" of snow. I picked up .90" of rain over night, hoping to see more and maybe a little snow to end it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 12z GFS a bit farther east...brings the heavy snow band not to far from you CentralNebWeather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 That is getting close. We are currently 37 degrees with a north wind of 30 with gusts in the upper 30's and a steady sideways rain falling. Radar showing snow about 1 county southwest of me. Seems like NWS Hastings still is thinking that this band is moving farther east than they are forecasting and may add more counties to the advisories. NWS Hastings: please bear with US as some noticeableadjustments are possible by upcoming day/evening shift as theultimate position of the main deformation band finally shows it'shand. Please emphasize that counties adjacent to the existingadvisory (such as Buffalo for example) may ultimately needconsidered for advisory expansion depending on how things playout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabel23 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 12z Euro pretty much agrees with the high rez models on the shift eastward...Correct me if I'm wrong, the comma head is currently undergoing formation?? Another deformation zone is setting up right over central/western nebraska? This is crazy, but I would think for sure this storm system would have rung itself out by now! Looking at the national radar, its impressive seeing the stream of precip out in front of the low, and another area of precipitation forming over nebraska. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I was just put in a winter weather advisory. Could be greater than 6 inches in places. One site just updated 5-8 inches. Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 6 am CST Wednesday...The National Weather Service in Hastings has issued a WinterWeather Advisory... which is in effect until 6 am CST Wednesday.* Impact... snow accumulation combined with strong north winds willresult in reduced visibility that at times could fall below one-halfmile... making travel difficult.* Snow accumulation... generally 2 to 5 inches. Expect widevariability in snow amounts and perhaps locally greateramounts near 6 inches.* Timing... rain will gradually transition to snow this afternoonand evening... with periods of sleet possible. The majority ofsnow accumulation is expected after 9 PM.* Uncertainty... there will be a potentially very narrow band ofheavier snow. Snowfall amounts may deviate from currentexpectations.* Winds... from the north-northwest at generally 20 to 25 mph andgusting at least 30 to 35 mph.* Wind chill values... averaging around 20 degrees.Precautionary/preparedness actions...A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow means thatvisibilities will be limited due to a combination of falling andblowing snow. Use caution when traveling... especially in openareas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEJeremy Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Huge bust for North Platte.

What a joke. Heaviest snow band now suppose to set up further East by Kearney and Broken Bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Heavy sleet falling here in Holdrege. Sidewalk getting a little slick. Changeover to snow is supposed to occur in the near future. If the heavy band can set up we could have some nice accumulations. Nws Hastings has central Nebraska from here to broken bow in this band. Hope they are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintbeed1993 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Would be nice if the cold air would hurry up a bit. 38 here in Aurora but it feels like 20 outside. Low is only suppose to fall to 35 which seems odd. 3 degrees in 12 hours? Where is the cold air???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 0.70" of rain here so far.

gabel23 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 What a storm, if this was all snow I would have seen 2 feet plus! I ended up with 1.8" of rain and some heavy snow with huge flakes this morning. I wasn't in town all morning as I teach over in rising city but the roads were slushy and ground was covered white. Has been a very wet couple weeks and hopefully next time around this storm produces all snow!! Below is Hastings summary of the storm, including just the second ever recorded tornado in November for the CWA!! http://www.weather.gov/gid/nov16172015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 0.84" of rain here total with a max wind gust of 48mph today. Most amazing part of the storm is the areas that went from tornado warnings to snowing in a matter of hours! 1 Quote Mercer Island, 350 ft 2021-2022: 11.6", 02/21 2020-2021: 15.6" 2019-2020: ~10" 2018-2019 winter snowfall total: 29.5" 2017-2018: 9.0", 2016-2017: 14.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
