DISCUSSION...

LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AT 08Z
WITH A STATIONARY FRONT STRETCHING ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS INTO
CENTRAL IOWA. RADAR SHOWS PRIMARY BAND OF SNOW EXTENDS FROM NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA AND SOUTHWEST
MINNESOTA...WHILE WIDESPREAD FOG AND DRIZZLE WAS LOCATED ALONG
THE STATIONARY FRONT. SOME LIGHT SNOW STILL LIKELY FOR NORTHEAST
BORDER AREA THIS MORNING AS SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHEAST WITH UP TO
AN INCH POSSIBLE BEFORE ENDING THIS AFTERNOON.

FREEZING DRIZZLE HAS STARTED TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD IN EASTERN
NEBRASKA AS THE COLDER AIR PUSHES INTO THE AREA. RAP FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING DRIZZLE THROUGH MOST
OF THE MORNING FOR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA BEFORE
SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR WORKS INTO THE LOW LEVELS. WILL PROBABLY WAIT
UNTIL JUST BEFORE ISSUANCE TO BETTER ASSES EXTENT OF THE PRECIP
BUT ADVISORY SEEMS LIKELY AT SOME POINT.

STRONG COLD ADVECTION FINALLY ARRIVES DURING THE AFTERNOON AS AREA
COMES ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEPARTING SYSTEM. FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE SHORT TERM TEMPERATURES BECOME THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN
WITH VERY COLD WIND CHILLS DEVELOPING ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH HALF
OF THE AREA.

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH STILL SOME CHANCE OF
SNOW LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WITH COLD TEMPERATURES CONTINUING.
