DISCUSSION...A frontogenetical band of snow has been been producing snow-squall like conditions across Nebraska and eastern Colorado this morning and early afternoon. This band is expected to persist through the afternoon with rapid onset of heavy snow. Synoptic sustained winds winds of 25 to 30 knots with gusts to 40+ knots are being observed across a large portion of the Plains. These strong winds will lead to additional visibility reduction as the heavy snow band arrives. This band is not expected to weaken until this evening when ascent moves north of the region. Therefore, expect this band to continue eastward through the afternoon with continued snow squall conditions. ..Bentley/Hart.. 02/27/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
