Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 5 Administrators Share Posted January 5 MD 0002 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR CENTRAL KANSAS Mesoscale Discussion 0002 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0947 AM CST Fri Jan 05 2024 Areas affected...Central Kansas Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 051547Z - 051845Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow with rates up to 1 inch per hour are expected through early afternoon. DISCUSSION...A band of heavy snow is lifting north across central Kansas this morning to the north of a surface low currently across northwest Oklahoma. This snow band is primarily triggered by warm-air advection centered around 850mb. A 25 to 30 knot low-level jet is currently present across northern Oklahoma and southeast Kansas, per RAP mesoanalysis. However, these winds are expected to weaken by mid afternoon as the 850mb height gradient relaxes across Oklahoma due to a deepening cyclone near the Gulf Coast. Therefore, expect a few more hours of moderate to heavy intensity snow before this band begins to weaken by early afternoon. ..Bentley.. 01/05/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
