.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 430 AM CDT SUN MAR 27 2016

The second wave of the weekend is currently working its way across
the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles this morning. A band of
precipitation has developed out ahead of this wave along an area of
decent frontogenetic forcing along both the 850 and 700 mb levels.
The area of precipitation has been tricky to forecast with some
lighter radar echoes reporting light snow, but heavy echo reporting
moderate to heavy rainfall. Surface temperatures continue to remain
in the low to mid 30s along this line of precipitation extending
from north-central Oklahoma on up to north-central Missouri. Across
the local area temperatures continue to remain in the mid 30s with
low 40s not too far to the south of the main precip band. Bufkit
soundings initially showing a significant warm nose gradually
cooling until the column saturates just below freezing from about
700 mb down with surface temperatures just above freezing. Given the
tricky temperature profile; rain, snow, a rain-snow mix, and even a
bit of sleet are all possible this morning. Snowfall accumulations
will be minimal with a tenth of two possibly accumulating on grassy
surfaces. Rainfall totals reported early this morning indicate very
efficient rain producers for those areas located under some of the
heavier precipitation bands. Snowfall chances will come to an end
later this morning as temperatures begin to rise.

The beginning of the work week will be chilly with Monday morning
temperatures dropping back down below freezing. A light frost is
possible. Heightened fire concerns Monday as RH values drop into the
20 to 30 percent range under southerly winds; however, winds look to
stay below critical levels attm but will need to be monitored. A
warming trend will start and extend through mid-week as shortwave
ridging builds over the region. To the west, a longwave trough will
move onshore and begin to deepen as it translates towards the Great
Basin. A slight chance for rain showers and maybe a few isolated
t-storms across northwest Missouri Monday night into Tuesday morning
as isentropic lift increases across Kansas and Nebraska. Another
chance for precipitation will be Tuesday night into Wednesday as
initial wave from western trough ejects onto the Plains. The
associated Pacific cold front is progged to move through the region
by Wednesday afternoon. Main concern with the mid-week system will
be the potential for strong to severe storms. The end of the week
looks to remain near normal temperature-wise with daytime highs in
the 50s.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday Morning)
Issued at 623 AM CDT SUN MAR 27 2016

A band of rain and snow is currently positioned across the area.
Temperatures have been hovering in the low to mid 30s making
precip type difficult to nail down. Several terminals have seen a
quick burst of snow with others just experiencing light rain. This
band of precip will hang around several more hours before clearing
from west to east by late morning. Heavier precip should drop off by
15Z with light precip possible thru 17Z. Skies begin to clear by mid
afternoon as the system moves eastward out of the region. Winds will
remain generally out of the northwest near 12kts or lighter thru the
period.
