Mesoscale Discussion 0081
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0933 PM CST Wed Feb 06 2019
Areas affected...Portions of northern Missouri and southern Iowa
Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation
Valid 070333Z - 070930Z
SUMMARY...Winter mixed precipitation is expected to develop across
northern Missouri and southern Iowa tonight. Heavy freezing rain and
sleet are likely at times.
DISCUSSION...Warm-air advection and isentropic lifting over a cold
air mass is occurring as a low-level jet strengthens over the Plains
and Mid Mississippi/Lower Missouri Valleys. An embedded shortwave
trough is helping to initiate some of the convection currently
before the larger-scale forcing spreads eastward with the
upper-level trough moving out over the Plains tonight. This could
result in training/multiple rounds of winter mixed precipitation for
northern portions of Missouri (see MCD 079). CG lightning is also
likely given the presence/potential for mixed-phase clouds and
MUCAPE of 250-1000+ J/kg as lapse rates steepen in response to
cold-air advection aloft. With the convective potential, heavy
freezing rain and sleet showers are likely tonight/overnight. Ice
accumulation will occur across much of the MCD area and
precipitation should continue into the morning.
