Areas affected...Eastern CO to northern NE
Concerning...Snow Squall=20
Valid 271612Z - 271915Z
SUMMARY...A short-duration moderate to heavy snow band that is
effectively producing sporadic snow squall conditions should spread east-southeast into early afternoon across parts of eastern Colorado
and northern Nebraska.
DISCUSSION...700-mb frontogenetical forcing for ascent has supported
a narrow band of moderate to heavy snow across a portion of the
Denver Metro Area northeastward into north-central NE, per surface
observations and road cameras. The northeast extent of this band is
well removed from the surface cold front that is marching
south-southeast from IA to north KS and east-central CO. Strong,
post-frontal gradient winds are combining with the narrow snow band
to produce snow squall-like conditions with substantial reduction in
visibility despite the mesoanalysis snow squall parameter holding
less than 0.1. The stronger 700-mb frontogenesis is largely expected
to shift east in NE and gradually weaken while shifting southeast in
eastern CO. This may yield breaks in the ongoing thin band, a
scenario supported by recent RRFS guidance.
