   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 091708Z - 092115Z

   SUMMARY...Snowfall rates exceeding 1.0 inches/hour expected to

   DISCUSSION...Moderate to heavy snowfall exceeding 1.0 inches/hour is
   currently occurring across portions of western/southwestern Kansas
   in the presence of surface cold air advection and 700mb
   frontogenesis. The expectation is for these moderate to heavy
   snowfall rates to persist at least through 20Z this afternoon, when
   HREF mean snowfall rates diminish substantially. Surface winds
   between 10-20 MPH may result in intermittent periods of reduced
   visibility.
