    Mesoscale Discussion 0255

    Areas affected...Southeast SD...Northeast NE...Northern
    IA...Southern and central MN

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 141506Z - 142100Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy snow currently over southeast SD, northeast NE, and
    northwest IA is spreading into portions of southern MN. The western
    portion of the MCD area will continue to see blizzard conditions
    into early afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...At 15Z, heavy snow is ongoing across portions of
    northeast NE, southeast SD, northwest IA, and far southern MN, to
    the north of a mature deep-layer cyclone moving gradually eastward
    across the central Plains. Steep midlevel lapse rates (noted on the
    14/12Z soundings from MPX and DVN) are supporting widespread
    elevated convection across central/northern IA. As these convective
    elements spread northward into a region of broader large-scale
    ascent, snow rates will rapidly increase across portions of southern
    into central MN, with one or more bands of 1-2"/hr expected later
    this morning into this afternoon.

    Meanwhile, very strong low-level flow (50+ kts at less than 1 km AGL
    per FSD VWP) will continue to support the potential for blizzard
    conditions, especially across portions of southeast SD, northeast
    NE, northwest IA, and southwest MN, where low-level cold advection
    will be strongest into early afternoon. Locally enhanced wind gusts
    will also be possible near the stronger convective elements over
    north-central IA into south-central MN, with gusts exceeding 50 kt
    recently noted at a few reporting sites across this area.

    Snow rates will likely begin to decrease across the southern and
    western portion of the MCD area by early afternoon, though strong
    winds and blowing snow will continue.

    Areas affected...Eastern TX Panhandle...Western/Central OK

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 36...

    Valid 040133Z - 040300Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 36
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for hail will persist for the next hour or so. A
    downstream watch across western and central OK is not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Long-lived supercell currently moving into Tillman and
    Kiowa Counties in southwest OK continues to produce large hail (i.e.
    1.75" per a recent report in Jackson County). Downstream air mass is
    less unstable, largely a result of cooler temperatures and less
    low-level moisture, but the storm remains quite strong and
    well-organized. the well-organized nature of this storm suggests it
    will likely be able to persist within this less stable environment
    for next hour or two while gradually decreasing in strength.

    Farther northwest, increasing low to mid-level flow and resulting
    warm-air advection has fostered the development of elevated
    thunderstorms across the eastern TX Panhandle. The air mass here is
    unstable enough to support updrafts strong enough to produce hail,
    some of which may be above 1" in diameter. These storms will likely
    persist for the next several hours as they move eastward into
    western OK, aided by both a strengthening low-level jet and
    large-scale ascent attendant to the shortwave moving into the
    region.

    Currently, severe thunderstorm coverage is expected to be limited
    after Severe Thunderstorm Watch 36 expires at 03Z and downstream
    watch is not anticipated. However, convective trends will be
    monitored closely.
