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.
