AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN
1206 PM CST THU DEC 20 2012

.UPDATE...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAJOR WINTER STORM
LIFTING NEWD TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES IS CENTERED JUST SOUTHWEST OF
CHICAGO AT MIDDAY..WITH AN EXPANSIVE SHIELD OF SNOW TO THE NORTH
AND NORTHWEST OF THE LOW CENTER ACROSS MOST OF THE STATE OF
WISCONSIN.

THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL RATES AND AMOUNTS WITH THIS STORM WILL
REMAIN TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE NWS DULUTH CWA..BUT A PERSISTENT
LIGHT TO AT TIMES MODERATE SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS
EVENING ACROSS A LARGE PART OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. THUS FAR THE
GREATEST SNOW TOTALS HAVE BEEN AROUND 3 INCHES IN PARTS OF PRICE
COUNTY..AND GENERAL 1-2 INCH TOTALS FROM THE HAYWARD LAKES AREA
NNEWD TO NEAR ASHLAND AND THE BAYFIELD PENINSULA. SPOTTERS ALSO
INDICATE MOSTLY SMALL FLAKES..INDICATIVE OF STEADY BUT MODEST
FORCED ASCENT/SUPERSATURATION OVER ICE IN THE DGZ..MOSTLY AS
PREDICTED BY THE SHORT RANGE MODELS. SNOWFALL RATES MAY PICK UP A
BIT IN THE 1-4 PM TIME FRAME SOUTHEAST OF ROUGHLY A WINTER TO
IRONWOOD LINE AS AREA OF ENHANCED CLOUD TOPS CLEARLY VISIBLE IN
IR/VIZ SAT IMAGERY LIFTS NORTHWARD INTO THE PRICE COUNTY AREA.
HOWEVER..MORE FOCUSED INTENSE LIFT AND SNOWFALL RATES OF 1/2
INCH/HOUR OR GREATER ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOUTHEAST OF PRICE
COUNTY THRU THE AFTRERNOON.

WE STILL BELIEVE THAT A GENERAL 2 TO 5 INCH STORM TOTAL
ACCUMULATION RANGE LOOKS GOOD FOR MOST AREAS..WITH THE GREATEST
TOTALS OVER PRICE AND SOUTHEAST IRON COUNTIES THRU THIS EVENING.
LAKE ENHANCEMENT..WITH A TRANSITION TO MORE PURE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING FOR THE SNOWBELT AREAS OF THE
SOUTH SHORE. HOWEVER..WINDOW OF TIME FOR SUPERPOSITION OF GOOD
NORTHERLY FETCH/SATURATION THRU 700 MB AND DEEP LAYER OF STEEP
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES IS ONLY ABOUT 4-6 HOURS. OVERALL..SOME OF
THE FAVORED LOCATIONS COULD SEE UPWARDS OF 7 INCHES ALONG THE
GOGEBIC RANGE BY LATE MORNING FRIDAY WHEN THINGS SHOULD BE
SHUTTING DOWN. OVERALL THE TIMING AND THEME OF MESSAGE IN THE
WINTER WEATHER PRODUCTS APPEARS VERY GOOD..AND WE HAVE ONLY MADE
MINOR TWEAKS TO THE GRIDS AND OFFICIAL FORECAST.

STRONGER LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION WILL BLEED INTO THE AREA THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT..AND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN PERIODS OF
FLURRIES FOR MUCH OF NRN MN UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. UPDATES TO ALL
GRIDS/TEXT PRODUCTS AND GRAPHICAST ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE.

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF ISSUANCE...
CEILINGS WILL WAIVER BETWEEN IFR AND LOW-END MVFR THROUGH MOST OF
THE DAY TODAY WITH A FEW FLURRIES POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NRN
TERMINALS. HYR WILL BE THE MAIN SITE IMPACTED BY -SN...WITH
OCCASIONAL REDUCTIONS IN VSBYS THROUGH THIS EVENING. COULD SEE
VSBYS DROP TO LIFR IN MDT SNOW SHOWERS. OTHERWISE...MAIN CHANGES
TO PREVIOUS SET OF TAFS WAS TO DELAY THE CLEARING AND ONSET OF VFR
CONDITIONS FROM WEST TO EAST UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO EARLY
FRI MORNING. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY TODAY FROM THE NORTH...WITH
WINDS BACKING SLIGHTLY AND DIMINISHING BY FRI MORNING.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 233 AM CST THU DEC 20 2012/

SHORT TERM...A WEAK SFC LOW CENTER WAS MOVING ALONG THE
INTERNATIONAL BORDER AT 08Z WITH A COLD FRONT FROM THE TIP OF
THE ARROWHEAD TO NW WI. MEANWHILE...THE LARGE SFC LOW CENTER THAT
WILL BRING THE BULK OF THE SNOW TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY WAS JUST
REACHING SOUTH CENTRAL MO AT 08Z. MODELS REMAIN IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THIS LOW AS IT LIFTS NEWD TO NEAR
SW LOWER MI BY 00Z FRIDAY. LIGHT SNOW WAS BEGINNING TO REACH THE
SOUTHERN COUNTIES IN NW WI BY 08Z.

MADE SOME MINOR CHANGES TODAY SINCE THE COLD FRONT HAS PASSED
THROUGH A LARGE PORTION OF THE FA. HAVE ALIGNED THE POPS/WEATHER/QPF
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WHERE THE BEST LIFT WILL BE
FOCUSED. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE AMONGST THE MODELS AT THIS POINT IS THE
OVERALL LOCATION OF QPF AND SUBSEQUENTLY SNOW AMOUNTS. EVEN THE
LATEST HIRES MODELS ARE OFFERING DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS OF QPF/SNOW
PLACEMENT. REGARDLESS...WILL MAKE NO CHANGES TO HEADLINES...BUT DID
ADJUST QPF/SNOW AMOUNTS TO HPC SOLUTIONS.

AS THE LOW MOVES INTO SW MI...THE SYNOPTIC SNOW WILL TRANSITION TO
LAKE EFFECT SNOW AS THE WIND TURNS TO THE N BY THIS AFTERNOON AND NW
BY 00Z FRIDAY. COLDER AIR WILL BEGIN TO BE USHERED INTO THE FA ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW. THE WIND THEN SWITCHES TO A
WNW DIRECTION LATE TONIGHT WHICH WILL PUSH THE BETTER LES TOWARD
UPPER MI...BUT STILL HAVE HIGH/CATEGORICAL POPS IN PLACE OVER THE
GOGEBIC RANGE WITH LOWER POPS FURTHER INLAND.

THE WIND WILL DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
SLACKENS...BUT REMAIN OUT OF THE WNW. KEPT THE MENTION FOR SNOW
PRIMARILY OVER ASHLAND AND IRON COUNTIES AND INTO NORTHERN PRICE
COUNTY BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z FRIDAY. ON FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL/SFC
RIDGING ARE BUILDING ACROSS THE FA WITH DRIER AIR ARRIVING. THIS
WILL END THE LES BY 15Z WHEN THE 1000-850MB LAYER RH DROPS TO NEAR
70 PERCENT AND THE WIND CONTINUES TO SUBSIDE.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE IN PLACE OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS
AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO START THE EXTENDED PERIOD THIS
UPCOMING WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS ON MONDAY
THAT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW TO THE NORTHLAND. SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE STORM
SYSTEM FORECASTED AROUND CHRISTMAS DAY TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE
UPPER MIDWEST WILL PROBABLY TAKE A TRACK ALONG THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
AND HAS SLOWED DOWN A DAY ACCORDING TO THE LATEST GFS. THE EUROPEAN
TRACK IS A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH...SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT
STORM TRACK MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST. REGARDLESS...THE BULK
OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL WILL BE TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
NORTHLAND.
