STILL A BIT OF TRICKY FORECAST. IN TERMS OF THE MAJOR SYNOPTIC
FEATURES...THE 12Z NAM AND GFS WERE RELATIVELY CONSISTENT WITH
THE PATH OF THE 700 MB LOW TRACKING ACROSS THE FAR NW PART OF THE
CWA...BUT THE GFS A LITTLE FASTER. THE 09Z SREF MEMBERS SURFACE
LOW TRACKS WERE DIVERGENT WITH A CLUSTER OF LOWS MOVING NE ACROSS
SOUTHERN MN WITH ANOTHER CLUSTER MOVING ACROSS NEB INTO IOWA. IT
DID SEEM LIKE THERE WAS MORE PREFERENCE TO THE NORTHERN
TRACK...WHICH CAUSED THE BETTER PROBS OF GREATER THAN 4 INCH
AMOUNTS OVER NORTHERN MN. THE 15Z RUN OF THE SREF WAS MORE
CONSISTENT WITH THE 700 MB LOW TRACK OF THE 12Z GFS AND NAM. THIS
SUGGESTS THAT THE FAR NORTHWEST WILL BE IN THE PATH OF SOME OF THE
HEAVIER SNOW. WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A WARNING FOR 5 OF THE NW
COUNTIES AND ALSO THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES FOR THE COMBO OF SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW. NOT REAL CONFIDENT ABOUT BLIZZARD CRITERIA BEING
REALIZED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE SFC PRES RISES DRIVE MORE
THROUGH SE SD THROUGH SW AND SOUTH CENTRAL MN...CLOSER TO AREAS
WITH THE LEAST SNOW. THE SURFACE LOW DOES NOT DEEPEN AS IT MOVE
NORTHEAST BUT MAINTAINS INTENSITY.

THE SOUTHEAST REMAINS MILD THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT KEEPING THE
FRZRA RAIN THREAT MINIMAL. A DIFFERENT STORY FOR SUNDAY MORNING AS
THE TIGHT TEMP GRADIENT OVER CENTRAL MN MAY CAUSE A PERIOD OF
MIXED FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW...ESPECIALLY IF THE COLD AIR
UNDER RUNS. THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF FGEN SUNDAY MORNING IN THE
NW CWA...WITH UNSTABLE MID LEVELS IN PLACE OVER SOUTHERN MN. THE
THETA E ADVECTION LIFTS MAINLY INTO NORTHERN MN DURING THE
AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE A CLOSE CALL. WILL GO WITH NEAR 9 INCHES IN
THE FAR NW FOR NOW.

STILL LOOKS LIKE A COUPLE MORE ROUNDS OF SNOW THIS WEEK ABOUT
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH A COUPLE WAVES IN THE BROAD SW FLOW
OVERRUNNING THE ARCTIC AIR.
