    Areas affected...portions of northeastern Kansas/southeastern
    Nebraska into southwestern Iowa and far northwestern Missouri

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation=20

    Valid 181853Z - 190000Z

    SUMMARY...Freezing rain and mixed precipitation with rates of
    0.05-0.15 in/hr will continue with moderate precipitation over the
    next several hours. A transition to heavy snow and rates of 1+ in/hr
    is expected later this evening farther north.

    DISCUSSION...As of 1840 UTC, regional radar and surface analysis
    showed a broad area of moderate to heavy precipitation associated
    with a surface low across the central Plains and Midwest. Recent
    surface obs across southeastern NE and northeastern KS indicate
    freezing rain and mixed-phase precipitation is ongoing northeast of
    the surface low with rates of 0.05 to 0.15 in/hr. Area RAP soundings
    show moderate warm advection ongoing ahead of the low supporting
    broad isentropic ascent and slight warming in the 1-3 km layer.
    0.5-1 C temperatures in this layer will support moderate to locally
    heavy mixed-phase precipitation and freezing rain for the next
    several hours. A transition to snow may develop later this afternoon
    into the early evening as warm advection weakens and dynamic cooling
    reduce column temperatures below freezing. However, the best dynamic
    lift will likely shift north keeping higher snow rates shorter in
    duration.

    Farther north across eastern/northern NE/IA, a deeper reservoir of
    cold air at the surface and drier mid-levels will likely favor a
    faster transition to all snow coincident with the strongest dynamic
    lift. Here, brief mixed precip/freezing rain and eventual snow rates
    greater than 1 in/hr are likely late this afternoon and through the
    evening hours.

    Areas affected...Parts of the Mid Atlantic into southern New England

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation=20

    Valid 161349Z - 161745Z

    SUMMARY...Locally moderate winter precipitation rates will spread
    northeastward this morning, with some modest ice accretion possible
    where freezing rain persists.

    DISCUSSION...A surface low currently off of the Mid Atlantic coast
    is forecast to gradually deepen as it moves northeast toward coastal
    southern New England this morning. Multiple waves of light to
    locally moderate precipitation are ongoing and will continue to
    spread northeastward in conjunction with the surface low. While
    interior portions of the Northeast will likely continue to see snow
    (with generally light to moderate rates) this morning, low-level
    warm advection will support a transition from snow to sleet across
    parts of southern New England, with freezing rain persisting over
    portions of the Mid Atlantic region.

    As the low deepens offshore, a modest uptick in precipitation
    intensity will be possible through the morning. While rates will
    likely remain light to locally moderate, antecedent cold conditions
    (with temperatures initially in the 20s F) may result in relatively
    efficient ice accretion in areas that transition to freezing rain.
    Pockets of moderate sleet/snow will also be possible into parts of
    southern New England. Low-level warm advection will support a
    gradual transition to rain along the Mid Atlantic and southern New
    England coasts, but subfreezing temperatures may persist inland
    through the morning.
