MD 0023 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR FAR EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...MUCH OF THE TX PANHANDLE...AND SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

Mesoscale Discussion 0023
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0726 AM CST Thu Jan 09 2025

Areas affected...far east-central New Mexico...much of the TX
Panhandle...and southwest and south-central Oklahoma.

Concerning...Heavy snow 

Valid 091326Z - 091630Z

SUMMARY...1+ inch per hour snowfall rates expected this morning.

DISCUSSION...Moderate snowfall has expanded across the Texas
Panhandle and southern Oklahoma. As the boundary layer continues to
moisten and isentropic ascent maximizes this morning, expect heavy
snow with rates of 1 inch per hour from far eastern New Mexico to
south-central Oklahoma. The heaviest rates are expected from 14Z to
17Z. Some locally higher rates, perhaps approaching 1.5 inches per
hour, are possible across parts of the southern Texas Panhandle
where a deeper dendritic growth zone and elevated convective
instability (185 J/kg MUCAPE on the 12Z AMA RAOB) are present. After
17Z, snowfall rates will likely weaken across the entire region amid
veering/weakening 850-700mb flow.
