    Mesoscale Discussion 0138

    Areas affected...Western Kansas

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 030359Z - 030800Z

    SUMMARY...Moderate to locally heavy snow continues to overspread the
    region, with 1+ inch per hour snowfall rates possible.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar shows a widespread area of light to
    moderate snow moving into portions of western Kansas, and a locally
    heavy snowband has developed in northwest Kansas. This trend should
    continue for the next few hours as a mid-level short-wave trough
    quickly approaches from the west, providing broad forcing for
    ascent. Regional forecast soundings indicate relatively high RH
    values developing within the dendritic growth zone, which should
    help to enhance snowfall rates, especially within any snowbands
    currently evident or those that develop. In particular, the latest high-resolution guidance shows potential for a band of briefly
    enhanced snowfall rates, perhaps approaching 2 inches per hour, over
    portions of southern Kansas. Snowfall rates should be heaviest over
    the region through 06z-07z.
