Today's feature is provided by BUFKIT Warehouse proprietor Chris Karstens.
The featured plot shows the NAM forecast of hourly qpf (in.) and mean mixed layer wind speeds (mph) for Slater, IA, initialized 6pm CST Sunday. A good shot of snow looks to be on tap this morning, with winds picking up later in the afternoon and evening, gusting near 40 mph, making for blizzard conditions. The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings for the expected impact of this morning and this past weekend's snow blowing around leading to whiteout conditions.
