HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE	       
535 AM CST SAT APR 5 2003

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PARTS OF EASTERN NEBRASKA
AND SOUTHWEST IOWA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

HEAVY SNOW AND INCREASING WINDS ARE LIKELY SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA.  A
WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THAT TIME PERIOD FOR 
THE ENTIRE AREA.  THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING SNOW IS
EXPECTED BETWEEN 8 AM SUNDAY AND 2 AM MONDAY MORNING BUT FOCUSED
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY EVENING.  ALTHOUGH THE EXACT
TRACK OF THE STORM SYSTEM IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...IT
APPEARS LIKELY THAT A GOOD PORTION OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND 
SOUTHWEST IOWA WILL RECEIVE 5 TO 9 INCHES OF SNOW.  A FEW 
REPORTS OF UP TO 12 INCHES ARE EVEN POSSIBLE.  

THE MAIN REASON THAT SNOW AMOUNTS WOULD END UP LESS THAN FORECAST
IN SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND FAR SOUTHWEST IOWA...ALONG AND
SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM LINCOLN TO OMAHA...WOULD BE WARMER THAN
EXPECTED TEMPERATURES INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  THIS WOULD CAUSE
RAIN TO MIX IN WITH THE SNOW LONGER AND CUT BACK ON SNOW TOTALS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

STORM SPOTTER REPORTS OF SNOW AMOUNTS WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.
