    Mesoscale Discussion 1659
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1059 AM CST Sun Nov 25 2018

    Areas affected...Central/eastern Kansas...northwest Missouri...far
    southeast Nebraska...southwest Iowa

    Concerning...Blizzard

    Valid 251659Z - 252200Z

    SUMMARY...1-2 inch/hr snowfall rates expected to continue for
    several more hours across the area, with occasional blizzard
    conditions likely northwest of the surface low.

    DISCUSSION...A 998 mb surface low, currently located across
    southwest Missouri, is expected to continue moving northeast in
    tandem with a pronounced upper-level shortwave trough. The
    upper-level trough will continue to deepen throughout the afternoon,
    with 500-300 mb relative wind maxima expected to traverse the base
    of the trough this afternoon. As a result, large scale ascent is
    expected to increase across the area, where strong 925-700 mb WAA
    and moisture advection ahead and to the north of the surface low are
    currently underway.

    Increasing divergence aloft associated with the approaching
    aforementioned upper-level wind maxima will encourage further
    deepening of the surface low, with increases in surface wind speeds
    likely. Blizzard conditions have already been reported across
    several portions of central/northeast Kansas into far southeast
    Nebraska, and these conditions are expected to continue across much
    of the outlined area as the low continues eastward. Areas roughly
    from Washington to Kingman County Kansas westward may continue to
    experience near white-out conditions for a few more hours, but the
    threat is expected to clear as snow moves out of the area.

    Otherwise, 1-2 inch/hr snowfall rates should pivot eastward across
    far northeast Kansas into northwest Missouri and southwest Iowa,
    along the axis of a moisture conveyer belt, where low-level warm
    air/moisture advection should continue to saturate the
    dentritic-growth layer.
