Mesoscale Discussion 0301
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1019 PM CDT Wed Apr 10 2019
Areas affected...Far northwest Kansas into central Nebraska
Concerning...Heavy snow
Valid 110319Z - 110745Z
SUMMARY...A wintry mix, transitioning to a heavy snow threat from
west to east, is expected to continue over the next several hours.
Heavy snowfall rates of up to 1 inch/hr are possible, and blizzard
conditions may be realized at a few locales.
DISCUSSION...A 986 mb surface low, currently located across central
Kansas, continues to track eastward in tandem with a potent 500 mb
shortwave trough now ejecting into the central Plains. Large scale
925-700 mb WAA is currently underway across the central Plains, with
formidable 700 mb frontogenesis in place across the Kansas/Nebraska
border, fostering large-scale lift within a near-saturated dendritic
growth zone (-12 C to -17 C layer). Much of the wintry precipitation
so far has been mixed, from Lincoln County, Nebraska eastward (based
on high ZDR and CC signatures from recent KLNX dual-polarimetric
radar data). Farther west, heavy blowing snow with 1/4 mile
visibility has been reported in Dundy County, Nebraska, where
substantial sfc-850 mb CAA has been noted by 02Z Mesoanalysis data.
Latest RAP forecast soundings, 21Z SREF, and 00Z HREF ensemble
guidance suggests that up to 1 inch/hr snowfall rates are likely to
continue across much of western/central Nebraska for several hours,
with locally higher values possible where convective enhancement
occurs. As heavier snow develops, and as the surface low tracks
eastward overnight, 20-30 mph surface winds are expected to
accompany some of the heavier snow rates, with occasional blizzard
conditions possible.
