DISCUSSION...Moderate to occasionally heavy snow is ongoing this morning across parts of western/central NE, in association with a strong mid/upper-level shortwave trough over eastern CO and associated surface low over the central High Plains. VWPs from KUEX and KLNX are indicative of an ongoing low-level warm-advection regime, and as this system moves eastward and intensifies through the day, large-scale ascent will increase near and north of the developing midlevel cyclone.=20 Steep midlevel lapse rates and nonzero MUCAPE will support some convective enhancement to snow rates, as precipitation increases through the morning from central/western KS into central NE. Snow rates of 1-2 inches per hour may become increasingly prevalent by late morning into the afternoon, along with the potential for sporadic lightning flashes. Southern and eastern parts of the MCD area may mix with sleet for a time this morning, but a transition to mostly snow is expected as the primary mid/upper-level system approaches the region from the west. ...Dean.. 01/18/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_ynTDorlcRPHH3tm2Judm7Fp4NhX_CnJL7-6horhTD2zPaElgvp_9L5I8m-ofadUiok8sp07d= 00451jdB8gSH6wLJew$ for graphic product...
