   Mesoscale Discussion 0162
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0129 PM CST Tue Feb 27 2024

   Areas affected...Central Colorado...northwest Kansas...and a large
   portion of Nebraska

   Concerning...Snow Squall 

   Valid 271929Z - 272200Z

   SUMMARY...A band of heavy snow and strong winds will continue to
   produce reduced visibilities as it moves east through the afternoon.

   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.
