Southwest Kansas Snow Event 2011 Feb 8 [3]

Filed under: 2011 Feb 8 — Mike U @ 11:22 am

0.50″ QPF. The 12z NAM, 14z RUC, and 13z HRRR all generate a half-inch of liquid equivalent precipitation.  18:1 SLR would be 9″ of snowfall.  Stronger frontogenesis for a longer period of time is now expected across Southwest Kansas, especially between the Arkansas River and the Oklahoma border through this evening.  Moderate snow is occurring now at my house with the northeast wind around 25 mph, gusting occasionally to 35 mph.  Heavy snow is now developing to the northwest of Dodge City, and this will overspread Dodge by Noon.  My own personal snowfall forecast is now 6 to 9″ for Dodge City.  The office just upgraded Dodge to a Winter Storm Warning now for widespread 4-8″.
