   0151 PM CST Fri Nov 08 2024

   Areas affected...Parts of eastern CO into extreme northeast NM and
   the western OK Panhandle

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 081951Z - 090015Z

   SUMMARY...Occasional snow rates of 1+ inch per hour will be possible
   through the afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...The deep mid/upper-level cyclone over NM that is
   supporting the ongoing long-duration snow event is currently in the
   process of pivoting north-northeastward, with a weak but deepening
   surface low moving northward near the OK/TX Panhandle border, where
   2-hour pressure falls of 2-3 mb have been noted. Some continued
   deepening of this system is possible through the afternoon, which
   will maintain favorable deep ascent across eastern CO and vicinity. 

   Persistent low-level moisture transport and ascent attendant to the
   cyclone could lead to some increase in snow rates this afternoon
   across parts of eastern CO, as precipitation pivots northwestward to
   the north of the low. While low-level temperatures will remain
   rather marginal, precipitation may become heavy enough to support
   occasional snow rates of 1+ inches per hour through the afternoon.
