January 24th/25th Possible Winter Storm Probable Nebraska Screwjob

Vertabim it doesnt amount to much this far east, only a 1/2 inch according to snowfall maps. I'd assume this is due to surface temps around 34-35.

Wouldn't take much to change that with this type of system. Still about 24 hours till start time.

I would think with a low this strong and with relatively decent precip rates, there would be better dynamic cooling, maybe that's already being factored in, but could be under accounted for if this thing comes in stronger than expected.

2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha)

TOTAL: 10.2"

(12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") 

(1/1: 6.4")

Long-time lurker here. Driving from Lincoln to Sidney, NE tomorrow for work. Should be interesting. Thanks to all of you who post regularly; you're a wealth of good info. I'll post from the road if I can.

I thought you were me for a sec... Hoosker and Hoosier, lol...

One hell of a gradient in Iowa. Des Moines Iowa county, Polk, has 1.4 in southern part, 30 miles to north in northern Polk, nearly six inches!

No doubt...it seems to hold together while it heads east...

DMX talking potential for thundersnow....has generally 5-9" north of highway 20.

They are also siding with the Euro.

As did Hastings today.......

 

We`ve hoisted a Winter Wx Advisory for all the counties along Neb

Hwy 92 north to include Valley/Greeley/Nance as well.

 

However...it is important to understand that this is just our

first swing at highlighting the potential with this system. I

would venture to say it is likely this advisory will be expanded.

There is even a chance part of the fcst area may need to be

upgraded to a warning with little advance notice.

 

Fcst issues...

 

1) Fog. Low stratus has lingered from GRI-AUH and conds are

favorable for it to rapidly expand across the fcst area this eve.

Would not be surprised to see dense fog (vsby 1/4 mi or less).

 

2) Frzg drzl. Confidence is low on this. The soundings have the

look...but do temps even radiate to frzg? Temps made it into the

40s and 50s over much of the fcst area. Does this warmth radiate

away before clouds move in? Nudge low temps up. Gut feeling is

that we may have over-played this threat. Watch temperatures.

 

3) Thunder? It`s possible. There is enough elevated instability

that we could see some lightning late tonight. Mesoscale models

are indicating some mid-lvl convection after midnight tonight that

lifts across the fcst area in the morning.
