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 https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7TzK4iSSvXPNeKVUEZ6PRsaq9rRFincjUWJ5RdboAGYfu2t166J2jmonTIvhSjaaVXJLud1Ia= 6Ot2_ZaDHPJcD4Ni70$ for graphic product...
