    Areas affected...Portions of the TX/OK Panhandles and TX South
    Plains.

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 57...

    Valid 010307Z - 010400Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 57
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat over the remainder of the watch area
    should diminish over the next 1-2 hours, and additional watch
    issuance appears highly unlikely over the area tonight.

    DISCUSSION...Surface mesoanalysis indicates that the dryline has
    retreated west of the watch in wavy fashion, near a GUY-HRX-HOB
    line. Additional development on that boundary is growing more
    improbable with time as the nocturnal loss of heating/mixing weakens
    lift and the near-surface layer stabilizes. An isolated cluster of strong-severe convection over the east-central TX Panhandle --
    likely elevated above the surface with its inflow roots in the 40-45
    kt LLJ -- may offer a severe-hail threat for another hour or two.
    However, with strengthening MLCINH area-wide -- evident both in
    modified RAOBs and in expansion of ducting-related lowest
    beam-elevation radar clutter -- and the absence of substantial upper
    support, the potential for organized severe is declining rapidly.

    Areas affected...north central through northeast Nebraska...central
    and eastern South Dakota and southern Minnesota

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation

    Valid 110734Z - 111330Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy snow including blizzard
    conditions with rates up to or locally exceeding 1 inch per hour are
    expected to continue through the early morning from north central
    Nebraska, central and eastern South Dakota into a portion of
    southern Minnesota. A mix of freezing rain and sleet will likely
    continue from northeast Nebraska into far southern Minnesota.

    DISCUSSION...Early this morning, bands of mostly snow continue from
    north- central NE into central and eastern SD and a portion of of
    south- central and southwest MN. The activity is associated with
    strong ageostrophic forcing within the exit region of an intense
    (140+ kt) upper jet. This zone of strong upper forcing will advance
    northward through the Northern Plains and upper MS Valley this
    morning with attendant surface low moving from northeast KS to
    southeast NE by 12Z. On the mesoscale, there appears to be a
    vorticity maximum currently moving northward through eastern NE.
    This feature will coincide with corridor of enhanced frontogenetic
    forcing within deformation zone, supporting development of organized
    snow bands from north central NE into central and eastern SD. In
    addition the strong pressure gradient north of the low pressure
    track will continue to promote wind gusts occasionally from 40-45 kt
    creating blizzard conditions in this region.

    Farther south from northeast NE into southern MN, a broad zone of
    warm advection associated with a 60-70 kt low-level jet has resulted
    in a melting layer aloft that should continue to advance slowly
    north. In addition, steep lapse rates, up to 1000 J/kg MUCAPE, and
    strong isentropic ascent are supporting numerous thunderstorms. Some
    of the heavy snow now occurring over southwest MN is convectively
    enhanced. However, this precipitation should gradually change to
    sleet and freezing rain as the melting layer develops north with
    time.
