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=20

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.=20

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.
