| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Surface low pressure developed and strengthened over northern Texas then moved northeast through Missouri and into Illinois. This combined with a strong upper level low pressure trough which moved out of the Rockies and into the plains generated widespread snow across the region. As warm, moist air was forced to overrun cold arctic air over the area, snow developed during the late evening of April 10th with 4-6 inches of accumulation by 6am CST on April 11th. Snow was light for much of the morning and early afternoon. Heavy snow then increased again during the late afternoon and continued through much of the night as the main upper level system moved northeast from western Kansas through Nebraska. By morning April 12th, most of the area had experienced between 8 and 12 inches of snow from the system. |
