   Mesoscale Discussion 0104
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0814 PM CST Tue Feb 16 2021

   Areas affected...Parts of southern Oklahoma into north-central Texas

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 170214Z - 170615Z

   SUMMARY...Heavy snow appears most likely for south-central into
   parts of southeastern Oklahoma per latest radar trends. Heavy snow
   bands may occur in parts of southwestern into north-central
   Oklahoma, but uncertainty is higher in these areas.

   DISCUSSION...Recent KFWS and KFDR radar imagery show an area of
   moderate to heavy snow moving northeastward from north-central and
   northwestern Texas into south-central Oklahoma. This activity is
   expected to persist for the next several hours as 850 winds and warm
   advection increase with time in conjunction with continued mid-level
   ascent. Snowfall rates around 1 inch per hour are possible.

   Elsewhere in central Oklahoma, areas of banded precipitation have
   produced 1 inch per hour rates. Radar presentation has shown a more
   nebulous precipitation structure from southwestern Oklahoma into
   north-central Oklahoma over the past 1-2 hours. However, recent
   development of banding roughly along the I-44 corridor suggests some
   remaining potential for heavy snow to impact the OKC metro as the
   activity shifts to the northeast.
