.SHORT TERM...

TODAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM TO HIGH

LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM EASTERN MI INTO ONTARIO
TODAY...WITH DEFORMATION PRECIP PULLING OUT OF SRN WI THIS
MORNING. PRECIPITATION IS NOW SNOWFALL ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA AND SHOULD REMAIN THAT WAY INTO THE MORNING AS COLD AIR
CONTINUES TO FUNNEL IN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW. HAD SNOW
REPORTS AS HIGH AS TWO INCHES OVERNIGHT...WITH FAIRLY MODERATE
SNOW AT TIMES. AS BEST FORCING PULLS OUT OF THE AREA...SNOW
INTENSITY WILL DECREASE...WITH MAYBE A HALF INCH OR SO EXPECTED
FROM HERE ON OUT. MOST ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR ON GRASSY
SURFACES AND OTHER COLDER OBJECTS...WITH SOME LIGHT SLUSHY
ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE ON PAVED SURFACES WITHIN THE HEAVIER
BANDS...LIKELY MELTING AFTER THE SNOW LETS UP. COULD BE ENOUGH TO
MAKE A FEW ROADS SLICK FOR MORNING TRAVEL. RECEIVED A FEW REPORTS
OF ACCIDENTS AND SLIDE-OFFS OVERNIGHT.

MAIN DEFORMATION PRECIP WILL BE OUT OF HERE BY AROUND THE NOON
HOUR. SNOW WILL BE QUICK TO MELT TODAY...WITH A WARM GROUND AND
TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING. MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL SHOW THE LOWER

LIFT. EXPECT CLOUDS TO HANG AROUND...PARTICULARLY IN THE

.LONG TERM...

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM

THINGS GET A BIT TRICKY FOR THE WEEKEND...AS MODELS BRING A COUPLE
OF WEAK DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE STATE. AGREEMENT AMONG MODELS IS
NOT THAT GOOD...AND INDIVIDUAL MODEL RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY IS NOT
THAT GREAT EITHER. OVERALL PICTURE SHOWS A WEAK LOW PASSING BY TO
THE NORTH ON SATURDAY...DRAGGING A WEAK COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
STATE. GFS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION SHOWING ENOUGH MOISTURE AND
FORCING FOR PRECIP...SO LEFT SATURDAY DRY.

HAVE LOW POPS FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS GFS AND NAM STALL A WEAK
BOUNDARY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...THOUGH THE ECMWF CONTINUES
SUGGESTING DRY WEATHER. WARM FRONT TO THEN LIFT NORTH THROUGH SRN
WI ON MONDAY...BUT TIMING...FORCING...AND MOISTURE SEEM TO BE UP
IN THE AIR FOR NOW. JUST KEPT LOW POPS GOING UNTIL THE PICTURE
BECOMES MORE CLEAR. ONE THING THAT DOES SEEM FAIRLY CERTAIN IS
CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
NEXT WEEK.
