What the NWS out of Norman, Oklahoma called a historically significant, unprecedented late season blizzard is due to begin affecting parts of the southern High Plains tonight.

A very dynamic system is forecasted to eject into the central part of the country, causing the potential for severe weather and tornadoes in the warm sector. However, what will probably be remembered with this system is the massive snowstorm that will be created on the low's backside. NWS offices out of Norman, Dodge City, and Amarillo (not to mention others) are sounding the alarm by putting up Winter Storm Warnings and Blizzard Warnings! QPF amounts are showing snowfall totals to perhaps exceed 30+ inches in parts of SW Kansas! Temperatures will be cold enough through Western Oklahoma and deep into the South Texas Panhandle to support all snow by Friday evening.

TVN will be leaving this evening for an initial target of Liberal, KS, which seems to be the sweet spot for the heaviest snow accumulations at this time. We'll be streaming this even throughout it's entirety so stay tuned!
