Mesoscale Discussion 0006 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0233 AM CST Fri Jan 01 2021 Areas affected...eastern KS...central/northern MO...west-central IL Concerning...Freezing rain Valid 010833Z - 011330Z SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy freezing rain is expected to shift northward across eastern KS into central/northern MO and west-central IL through the early morning hours. DISCUSSION...Moderate to heavy freezing rain has been noted recently across southeast KS toward the I-44 corridor in southwest and central MO. Freezing rain rates have been as high as 0.05 in/hr in these locations. A more pronounced/stronger deformation region has developed northward toward the I-70 corridor from eastern KS into central MO as the upper low continues to shift northward from north Texas into southern OK, and is evident in water vapor loops over the past hour. As midlevel moistening continues, freezing rain will develop northward and increase in intensity through early morning. Forecast soundings suggest precipitation type should predominantly be freezing rain. However, some sleet or snow could mix in at times as modest midlevel cooling occurs on the back side of the mid/upper low, resulting in a deepening isothermal layer around 900-750 mb. Once freezing rain begins, rates greater than 0.05 inches per 3 hours are expected for several hours. ..Leitman.. 01/01/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
