ZCZC MKCSWODY1 ACUS1 KMKC 131434 MKC AC 131500 Convective Outlook...reference AFOS NMCGPH94O Valid 131500 - 141200Z No severe thunderstorms forecasted. General thunderstorms tonight to right of line from Oklahoma City, OK Chanute, KS..St. Louis, MO..Indianapolis, IN..Lexington, KY..Monteagle, TN Tupelo, MS..Shreveport, LA..Dallas, TX..Oklahoma City, OK. 40 knot low level jet southern Texas opening up western Gulf...but there is only shallow moisture available at this time over Gulf. Sufficient moisture should be transported northward and lifted across cold dome pressing southward through plains by tonight for a few thunderstorms. Deeper moisture will move inland after this forecast period as middle level winds back ahead of approaching deep upper low now digging into southwestern u.s. Reduced onshore trajectory should keep convective precipitation with cold upper low in Pacific Northwest today in the form of showers and not thunderstorms as moisture will be quite limited. ..Hales.. 02/13/90 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZCZC NFDQPFHSD FOUS11 KWBC 131506 NMC Heavy Snow Discussion...reference AFOS graphic 93S Valid February 131800 to 140600 Vorticity maximum within west side of western 500 millibar height trough will dig south-southeastward into California... carrying some locally heavy snows along with it from Oregon Cascades to California Sierra range. As it moves southward it should also produce two to four inch snows in central to eastern Nevada...to north of surface low. Meanwhile... upper system in north-eastern Oregon will be kicked eastward across northern Rockies...causing locally heavy snows in higher elevations of Idaho. Jet stream dynamics southeast of this system will enhance upslope snows in southern Wyoming and possibly northern Colorado...resulting in four inch amounts. Farther north in upslope region...two to four inch amounts can be expected from northwestern Montana southeastward.
