Rapidly reduced visibility, gusty winds, and flash freezing is possible. DISCUSSION...MRMS mosaic and regional radar imagery depict an eastward-progressing band of snow, with up to 35 dBZ reflectivity values recently noted along with recent reports of at least moderate snow fall and gusts around 40-60 kts. Recent webcams on I-80 west of Laramie, WY have also shown whiteout conditions associated with this band of snow. Latest visible satellite imagery shows a pronounced line of potentially cumuliform clouds embedded in lower-stratus, indicative of low-topped convection and supporting evidence for snow squall in progress. Low-level lapse rates preceding this snow squall are not particularly steep, raising questions of how long-lived this event will be. Nonetheless, at least an hour or two of combined rapidly reduced visibility and gusty westerly winds may accompany the snow squall for the next 1-2 hours, including when the squall passes over Interstate 25. ...Squitieri.. 12/02/2022 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5ZYl5XBPzYs7RmFS8M3xlBvyreFY3FC9wYdSnYeytlfJ0KTdrifpTrR7oeNPLD2IWcAMkoE9y= 4E6Y5pQBDc8BRIZyEc$ for graphic product...
