    Areas affected...portions of central into eastern Nebraska

    Concerning...Blizzard=20

    Valid 042306Z - 050200Z

    SUMMARY...Blizzard conditions are possible over the next few hours.
    Moderate to heavy snowfall rates may occur with northwesterly
    surface winds sustaining over 40 mph, perhaps gusting to 70 mph.
    Visibility may drop to a quarter mile in spots.

    DISCUSSION...A surface low along the KS/MO border continues to
    deepen while shifting towards the Great Lakes, promoting a broad,
    intense northwesterly surface wind field over parts of the central
    Plains. Surface observations show northwesterly surface winds
    sustaining to 40 mph at times over parts of central/eastern NE,
    where measured gusts have exceeded 65 mph. In tandem with these
    intense winds are developing snow-bands, as surface-700 mb cold-air
    advection continues to cool the column to temperatures below
    freezing. The surface low should continue to intensify through the
    evening as snowfall rates gradually increase. The current
    expectation is for blizzard conditions and reduced visibility to
    gradually become more common through the evening.
