   Areas affected...East-central/southeast NE into southwest/central IA

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 291049Z - 291615Z

   SUMMARY...Snow rates may approach or exceed 1 inch per hour at times
   this morning.

   DISCUSSION...A long-duration snow event is underway across parts of
   NE and IA this morning. A somewhat more organized precipitation band
   has recently developed from eastern NE into west-central IA, within
   a zone of enhanced frontogenesis within the 900-800 mb layer. This
   band may continue to progress eastward in conjunction with a
   mid/upper-level shortwave trough (and related surface low) currently
   moving eastward across the central Plains. 

   Light to moderate snow has been ongoing this morning across much of
   IA, while observations and recent dual-pol data from KOAX indicate
   that a changeover from freezing rain/drizzle to snow is underway
   from Omaha to near Lincoln, NE. Snow rates within the ongoing band
   (and any additional organized bands that develop) may approach or
   exceed 1 inch per hour at times this morning. Farther south into far
   southeast NE and northwest MO, a residual warm layer may result in a
   mix of precipitation types, though brief periods of moderate to
   heavy snow rates could occur where a full changeover to snow can be
   maintained.
