   Areas affected...Western Kansas into southern Nebraska

   Concerning...Blizzard 

   Valid 082048Z - 090045Z

   SUMMARY...Blizzard conditions continue into the evening.

   DISCUSSION...Winds continue to strengthen across western Kansas with
   sustained winds as high as 44 knots at KULS with numerous locations
   reporting blizzard conditions. Winds may still strengthen further
   over the next few hours as the northerly low-level jet continues to
   strengthen/broaden on the western periphery of the 850mb low. Strong
   cold air advection also continues with temperatures in the low 20s
   now across northwest Kansas. Moderate to heavy snowfall within the
   deformation band will slowly drift east through the evening as the
   surface low advances eastward. Blizzard conditions will continue
   across western Kansas and into southern Nebraska through this period
   with only slow improvement from west to east.
