..NEW SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
SHORT TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 405 AM CST MON FEB 17 2025
WINTRY PRECIPITATION RETURNS TO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FOUR
STATE REGION WITH MOSTLY COLD RAIN EXPECTED ELSEWHERE ALL THROUGH
THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THIS IS DUE TO SURFACE RIDGING SHIFTING FURTHER
EAST OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, REINTRODUCING ENOUGH MOIST ON-
SHORE FLOW FOR SHOWERS EARLY ON TUESDAY AND EVENTUALLY A WINTRY
MIX NORTH OF THE I-30 CORRIDOR IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF
WEDNESDAY. SOME LINGERING WINTRY PRECIP COULD REACH CLOSER TO I-20
IN THE MID-WEDNESDAY MORNING HOURS. TEMPERATURE MAXIMUMS/MINIMUMS
WILL RANGE IN THE LOWER 50S/UPPER 30S TO LOWER 30S (POST-
FRONTAL), RESPECTIVELY.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 405 AM CST MON FEB 17 2025
A STRONG SURFACE RIDGE WILL MAINTAIN COLDER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. ALOFT, A FAIRLY ACTIVE ZONAL PATTERN
CONTINUES WITH EMBEDDED TROUGH PROPAGATION ACROSS THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS. THIS, ON TOP OF
COLD-ENOUGH AIR THROUGH THE WEEK, COULD ALLOW FOR ANOTHER WINTRY
PRECIPITATION CHANCE BY SATURDAY MORNING. CONFIDENCE IN ITS
OCCURRENCE REMAINS LOW AS THE DISTRIBUTION COULD BE LIMITED BY THE
PROXIMITY OF THE 32-DEGREE ISOTHERM ACROSS THE I-20 CORRIDOR.
LONG-RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS ANOTHER QUICK WARM-UP JUST ABOVE
NORMAL (TEMPERATURE MAX/MINS ABOVE 60S/40S) BY THE END OF THE
WEEKEND. /16/
