.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 240 PM CST Fri Jan 12 2024

Through Tonight: Observations continue to feature a light
wintry mix of snow and freezing drizzle this afternoon.
Temperatures area wide range from middle teens to middle 20s,
with gusty west-northwest winds. Travel impacts have generally
been confined to secondary roadways in addition to elevated or
untreated pavement. Light wintry precipitation will clear the
area this evening from west to east, with lingering slick spots.

HREF probabilities of wind gusts greater 40 mph are 60-80%
along the Ozark Plateau, dropping off to 30-50% for greater
than 45 mph. Thus, confidence remains high in sustained winds
around 20-30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. A Wind Advisory is in
effect through midnight tonight. Meanwhile, wind chill values
flirt around zero through this evening, becoming closer to five
below into early Saturday morning despite stronger wind gusts
tapering off to the east. Overnight lows range from single
digits to middle teens with breaks in the clouds.

Saturday: High pressure settles into the central CONUS on
Saturday before additional clouds build into the area. Highs
will range from teens to lower 20s. Gusty northwest winds
continue to usher in a secondary slug of Arctic air. An
interesting feature captured in hi-res guidance was the presence
of potential banded snow in the vicinity of 700 mb
frontogenesis and negative EPV. Confidence is low on the
scenario at this time, though it is worth mentioning. Overnight
lows are forecast to vary from -5 to 0, with wind chills around
-25 to -15 into Sunday morning. Confidence is high in dangerous
 wind chills, and thus a Wind Chill Advisory has been issued.
 The Wind Chill Advisory is in effect from 6 pm Saturday evening
 through Tuesday at noon.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 240 PM CST Fri Jan 12 2024

Sunday: Dangerous cold temperatures settle into the area with
forecast highs ranging from 5 to 15 degrees. These temperatures
are anywhere from 20 to 30 degrees below normal for early
January. The dangerous cold is a particular hazard to those
outdoors and vulnerable populations that lack sufficient
sheltering. By Sunday afternoon, shortwave energy digs across
the Plains in the vicinity of 650-750 mb frontogenesis. This
setup supports banded snowfall, though the more favorable
negative EPV is displaced slightly further south. Recent trends
suggest this displacement south is favorable, as seen across the
board in various ensemble output. Furthermore, NBM probabilities
have trended lower. NBM probability of greater than 1 inch are
30-40%, while greater than 2 inches is around 10-20%. Note, this
is using snow liquid ratios of 10:1. Given the depth of cold
air, 15:1 to 20:1 ratios are more likely. Probabilistic Winter
Storm Severity Index continues to highlight 70-90% chance of
minor impacts along and south of Highway 60, with a 20-40%
chance for moderate impacts along the Missouri/Arkansas border.
The highest chances for impacts has nudged south. Continue to
stay updated on the forecast as there is remaining uncertainty
on the exact placement of the banded snow. Expect rather sharp
gradients in the north/south sides. Meanwhile, the dangerous
cold continues beyond the system into early next week.

Early Next Week: Frigid cold temperatures and wind chills
continue into early next week. Expect highs in the teens on
Monday and Tuesday, with overnight lows around or below zero.
Supplement breezy conditions, wind chill values dip into the -25
to -15 range. The Wind Chill Advisory is in effect through noon
Tuesday.

Mid to Late Next Week: Ensemble guidance suggest moderating
temperatures into the 30s through mid-week before another surge
of Arctic air into the region late next week. Large spreads
exist among the temperatures at this time, thus confidence
remains low on the extent of cold air.
