Concerning...Blizzard=20 Valid 051039Z - 051545Z SUMMARY...Blizzard conditions developing. DISCUSSION...A deformation band has started to organize across southwest Kansas and the OK/northern TX Panhandles. As this rotates eastward, heavy snow with 1+ inch per hour rates are expected. In addition, strong winds are already present (sustained 31 mph at KGBD on the 956Z observation) and are expected to strengthen further over the next 3 to 6 hours. Temperatures are in the mid teens which should result in less dense snow and accentuate visibility reductions amid strong winds. This will likely result in some blizzard conditions across parts of southwest and south-central Kansas through the morning.=20 Freezing rain is falling across eastern portions of the MD area where warmer mid-level air has advected west to the north of the surface low. However, expect these areas to transition to snow after 13-14Z once the surface low moves farther east. ...Bentley.. 01/05/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6tO9BNyOvsnbRljOXyDdGfK_aY5v4VyNuQVf0v9ciKIq98jhYkCS7FV6fEYOR55VVddzY4IW6= sl38TsgzvhNjrKz-b0$ for graphic product...
