CLIMBED INTO THE 15 TO 30 MPH RANGE AND THE WINDS WERE GUSTING UP
TO 40 MPH. DURING THE LAST TWO HOURS...THE RADAR RETURNS HAVE BEEN
INCREASING JUST NORTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS IS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH SURFACE FRONT AND AN UPPER LEVEL
WAVE IN THE NORTHERN STREAM.

THE DECEMBER 22ND 00Z MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE
ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
AND NORTHEAST IOWA THIS MORNING...AND WESTERN WISCONSIN THIS
AFTERNOON. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW THAT THE PRECIPITATION WILL
CHANGE OVER QUICKLY FROM RAIN TO SNOW WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS
FRONT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AS
THE WINDS INCREASE THIS MORNING...THE DENSE FOG WILL GRADUALLY
DISSIPATE ACROSS THE REGION.

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT A SYSTEM IN THE NORTHERN STREAM
AND SOUTHERN STREAM WILL PHASE ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE RAPID CYCLOGENESIS TO
OCCUR ACROSS THE REGION. THE SURFACE LOW WILL RAPIDLY DEEPEN AS IT
MOVES SLOWLY NORTH ACROSS EASTERN WISCONSIN LATE TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY. AT THE SAME TIME...A DEEPENING 500 MB CLOSED LOW WILL BE
SOUTHEAST ACROSS IOWA AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THIS WILL CAUSE A
TROWAL TO AFFECT THE AREA. WE WILL AFFECTED BY THE WARM CONVEYOR
BELT AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. AS A
RESULT...THIS WILL BE WHEN OUR GREATEST SNOWFALL RATES WILL LIKELY
OCCUR. MEANWHILE THE COLD CONVEYOR BELT WILL PRODUCE ADDITIONAL
SNOW SNOW ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. SNOW TOTALS FROM SATURDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL RANGE FROM 3 TO
8 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA...AND 6 TO
10 INCHES ACROSS WESTERN WISCONSIN.

IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
DRAMATICALLY INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.
THIS WILL PRODUCE SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 20 TO 30 MPH RANGE AND
WINDS GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH. THIS WILL CAUSE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND
DRIFTING OF THE SNOW ACROSS THE REGION. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT
FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A BLIZZARD DEVELOPING ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO THE DAY SUNDAY. EVEN THOUGH THE SNOW
AMOUNTS ARE MARGINAL FOR A WINTER STORM ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
AND NORTHEAST IOWA...THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT BLOWING SNOW WAS
ENOUGH TO PUSH ME TOWARD A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA. THE WARNING ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST
IOWA WILL RUN FROM NOON TODAY THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY...AND FROM 6 PM
TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA.

THE WIND SPEED AND SNOW WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH ON SUNDAY NIGHT AS
THE DEEP LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES AWAY FROM THE REGION.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THEIR TIMING AND
TRACKS OF TWO LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY DURING THIS
TIME PERIOD. THE FIRST SYSTEM AFFECTS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY DURING THE MID WEEK. THE GFS IS SLIGHTLY FASTER WITH THIS
SYSTEM AND IT PROVIDES A CHANCE OF SNOW FROM WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND ECMWF MOVES THIS SAME SYSTEM THROUGH THE
REGION FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. WE CURRENTLY HAVE
PRECIPITATION DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...SO NO CHANGES WERE
REQUIRED ON THIS SHIFT.

DURING THE LATTER OF THIS WEEK...THE ECMWF SHOWS A WINTER STORM
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
MEANWHILE THE GFS SHOWS A SURFACE HIGH LOCATED ACROSS THIS AREA.
SINCE THE ECMWF USUALLY VERIFIES THE BEST DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...
OUR CHANCES OF SNOW STILL LOOKS GOOD IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE MAINTAINING THE LIFR CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE REGION AGAIN THIS MORNING. WITH A MILD AND MOIST AIRMASS
CONTINUING TO BE ADVECTED NORTH OVER THE SNOWPACK...THIS SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY. BUT THAT BECOMES MIXED WITH THE
PRECIPITATION THREAT LATER TODAY. AS THE STORM SYSTEM NEARS...EXPECT
RAIN TO DEVELOP AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS THE
MORNING WEARS ON...WITH A CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST AS
COOLER AIR IS DRAWN INTO THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM. THUS WILL HAVE
TO MONITOR TRENDS OF THIS ONSET.  THIS ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR
SOMEWHAT IN THE 06Z TAFS...AND WILL BE FURTHER ADDRESSED FOR THE 12Z
ISSUANCE.

FURTHER CONCERN IS THE WINDS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. WINDS WILL
BECOME WEST AND NORTHWEST...WITH VERY GUSTY SPEEDS. SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 20 TO 25 MPH ARE ANTICIPATED AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
AND THE DOWNWARD TRANSPORT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEEP TROPOSPHERIC
FOLDING - P/V ANOMALY - MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. GUSTS OF 30 TO 45
MPH ALSO POSSIBLE. WILL DEFINITELY BEEF UP WINDS IN THE OUTER
PERIODS OF THE NEW TAFS.
