MORNING...WITH SOME MVFR CEILINGS OVER SOUTHERN LAKE SUPERIOR. A
SHORTWAVE...PERSISTENT WAA...AND A DEVELOPING INVERTED TROUGH WILL
CAUSE CEILINGS TO LOWER THROUGH THE PERIOD FROM WEST TO EAST.
SOME SNOW WILL DEVELOP AS WELL...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT'S POSSIBLE
SOME MVFR CEILINGS WILL MOVE ONSHORE INTO THE TWIN PORTS LATER
THIS AFTERNOON OFF OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO IOWA TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH
WIDESPREAD SNOW DEVELOPING FROM THE BRAINERD LAKES REGION...EAST
THROUGH PHILLIPS AND PARK FALLS. LITTLE SNOW WILL FALL ON SUNDAY
OVER FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA.

DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THIS WEEKEND CENTER AROUND THE APPROACHING
WINTER STORM THAT IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE REGION BEGINNING LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT...AND LAST THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
MORNING. THIS STORM WILL BRING MEASURABLE SNOW TO THE
NORTHLAND...WITH POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS FURTHER TO
THE SOUTH IN CENTRAL MN AND WEST CENTRAL WI. WINDS WILL ALSO BE
STRONG AT TIMES ON SUNDAY...WHICH WILL CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SNOW.
LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT BROUGHT THE WINDY CONDITIONS TO THE
REGION YESTERDAY IS QUICKLY MOVING OFF TO THE NE...AND HIGH PRESSURE
IS BUILDING INTO THE NRN PLAINS THIS MORNING. THIS IS CAUSING QUIET
CONDITIONS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...AND SUBSEQUENTLY COLDER
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTHLAND THIS MORNING. WINDS HAVE SUBSIDED
AND TEMPS HAVE DROPPED INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABV AND BLO ZERO.
HIGH CLOUDS AHEAD OF THE INCOMING STORM SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO
FILTER INTO THE AREA TODAY. A DEEP SFC LOW WILL DEVELOP LEE OF THE
CNTRL ROCKIES LATE TONIGHT WITH A WARM/STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING
TO THE EAST INTO THE CNTRL MIDWEST. THIS WARM FRONT WILL HAVE VERY
MOIST AIR ASSOCIATED WITH IT THAT WILL ADVECT INTO MN BY SUN
MORNING. AREAS OF THE NORTHLAND WILL SEE LIGHT SNOW BEGIN LATE SAT
NIGHT/EARLY SUN MORNING. THE EXTENT OF THIS PUSH OF WARM/MOIST AIR
FROM THE SOUTH IS STILL IN QUESTION...AND WILL DICTATE
SIGNIFICANTLY HOW MUCH SNOW THE NORTHLAND WILL SEE. ONE OTHER
DETAIL YET TO BE RESOLVED IS THE AMT OF DRY AIR THAT WILL PUSH
INTO THE AREA FROM THE LARGE SFC HIGH OVER SWRN ONTARIO. THE
LATEST NAM SHOWS A NOTABLE DECLINE IN SNOWFALL ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA ON SUNDAY DUE TO THIS DRY AIR ADVECTING IN. THIS IS IN STARK
CONTRAST TO THE PREVIOUS RUNS OF THE NAM BEING FURTHER NORTH WITH
THE HEAVIEST QPF. WAS INITIALLY THINKING OF TRANSITIONING TO
ADVISORIES/WARNING...BUT WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW AND JUST CONTINUE
WITH THE WINTER WEATHER WATCH. DID CHANGE THE START TIME TO 12Z
SUNDAY MORNING...AND END TIME TO 12Z MONDAY. WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT
12Z MODEL RUNS DEPICTS...AND THEN MAKE A DECISION ABOUT WHAT TO DO
WITH WATCH AT THAT POINT.
IF DRY AIR TO THE NORTH HOLDS OFF UNTIL MONDAY...WILL SEE A GOOD
SWATH OF MORE THAN 6 INCHES OVER THE SRN TIER OF THE FORECAST
AREA...FROM PINE COUNTY TO PRICE COUNTY...AND AROUND 3 TO 5 INCHES
FOR AREAS OF THE TWIN PORTS AND ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE. GUIDANCE
IS STILL INDICATING STRONG 850MB WAA...MODERATE ELEVATED
INSTABILITY CO- LOCATED WITH POSITIVE F-VECTOR CONVERGENCE OVER
CENTRAL MN. STRONG VERTICAL MOTION IN THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE AND
PWATS UP TO 0.4 INCHES...ALL FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR HEAVY SNOW
AMTS. BUT...HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THIS COULD ALL BE NEGATED IF THE
DRY AIR DECIDES TO PUSH IN EARLIER THAT EXPECTED. HOPEFULLY THE
EARLY MORNING MODEL RUNS WILL HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS.
EXTENDED...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
A VIGOROUS STORM TRACK REMAINS WHERE THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE
CONTRAST IS...BETWEEN THE LOWER LAKES AND THE OHIO VALLEY.
SUCCESSIVE POWERFUL SYSTEMS CONTINUE TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON ALL THE
MODELS OF BRINGING SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TOO FAR NORTH AND WEST
TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD...WHILE AS THE TIME GETS CLOSER TO THE
PASSAGE OF A GIVEN SYSTEM...MODELS INCREASINGLY RECOGNIZE THE
STRENGTH OF DRY HIGH PRESSURE BETWEEN HUDSON BAY AND LAKE SUPERIOR.
SO...WE CONTINUE TO DE-EMPHASIZE SNOW ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH THE
PERIOD...RESTRICTING OURSELVES TO SLIGHT CHANCES MOST AREAS WITH A
CHANCE ALONG THE COASTAL WISCONSIN COUNTIES BEGINNING WEDNESDAY.
RESIDUAL SHALLOW COLD AIR...BEHIND THE LATEST OHIO VALLEY STORM...
WILL LINGER OVER OUR AREA INTO WEDNESDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
RESULT IN TEMPORARY TEMPERATURES MODERATION AS IT APPROACHES
WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT WILL CROSS OUR AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SHIFTING
THE WINDS AROUND AND INTRODUCING A CHANCE OF LAKE-EFFECT THURSDAY.
A SLOW AND LONG COOLING TREND WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT...EVENTUALLY
BRINGING OUR TEMPERATURES BACK TOWARD MID-JANUARY LEVELS...THE
EUROPEAN AND THE CANADIAN ARE PARTICULARLY SEVERE WITH THIS. WE
MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW TOWARD THE END OF THIS PERIOD IN
RESPONSE TO THE CONTINUED COOLING OF THE COLUMN...VERY LITTLE
MOISTURE WILL BE ACCESSIBLE AS FAR NORTH AND WEST AS OUR AREA.
