Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 8 Administrators Share Posted January 8 MD 0016 CONCERNING BLIZZARD FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN COLORADO...WESTERN KANSAS AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA. Mesoscale Discussion 0016 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1035 AM CST Mon Jan 08 2024 Areas affected...Portions of eastern Colorado...western Kansas and southern Nebraska. Concerning...Blizzard Valid 081635Z - 082030Z SUMMARY...Blizzard conditions have started to develop across western Kansas. These conditions will expand to portions of eastern Colorado and into southern Nebraska this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Northerly flow has started to strengthen across western Kansas in response to the deepening 850mb low near the TX/OK Panhandle. Some of this stronger flow has started to mix to the surface within the snow band across western Kansas. This has resulted in sustained winds of 25 to 30 knots across southwest Kansas. Expect winds to strengthen further through the afternoon as the cyclone continues to amplify. In addition, these winds will more efficiently mix to the surface through the day as cold air advection strengthens in the region. As colder air filters into the area, snow ratios will increase and visibility restrictions from blowing snow will likely increase which is expected to further exacerbate blizzard conditions late this afternoon and into this evening. ..Bentley.. 01/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
