PRECIPITATION WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND CHRISTMAS NIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY BEGIN AS MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IN MOST AREAS...BUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS WILL TRANSITION TO A WINTRY MIXTURE OF FREEZING RAIN...SLEET...AND SOME SNOW. THE GREATEST RISK OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET IS IN AREAS FROM THE BRAINERD LAKES AND WALKER AREAS EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TO GRAND RAPIDS... DULUTH... COTTON...AND PORTIONS OF THE MINNESOTA ARROWHEAD. SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATION OF GREATER THAN A QUARTER INCH MAY POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT IN THESE AREAS. PEOPLE IN THESE AREAS SHOULD PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE POWER OUTAGES.

CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING IN THE HIGH IMPACTS OF THIS EVENT...YET THERE STILL EXISTS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE MIXED PRECIPITATION TYPES...AND HOW FAR NORTH THE TRANSITION ZONE WILL REACH. AT THIS POINT...IT APPEARS THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL BE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA BUT A SMALL SHIFT WESTWARD IN THE STORM TRACK WOULD LIKELY MEAN MORE ICE THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...EVEN ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA. THE MAIN TAKE AWAY MESSAGE IS...NO MATTER THE EVENTUAL TYPE OF PRECIPITATION...SLICK AND HAZARDOUS ROADS AND MAJOR IMPACTS TO TRAVEL ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION DURING ONE OF THE BUSIEST TRAVEL PERIODS OF THE YEAR.

A LARGE AREA OF FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW WAS SPREADING INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION AS OF SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON. ROADS ARE ALREADY VERY SLIPPERY DUE TO FREEZING DRIZZLE THIS MORNING. THE PRECIPITATION THAT WILL MOVE IN THIS EVENING WILL BE MUCH HEAVIER...AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE ROADS NEARLY IMPASSABLE IN SOME AREAS. AS THE FREEZING RAIN MOVED THROUGH SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL MINNESOTA...IT CAUSED MANY CRASHES AND EVEN SOME ROAD CLOSURES FOR A TIME. TREES AND POWER LINES ALREADY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ICE ON THEM. THE ADDITIONAL FREEZING RAIN COULD CAUSE TREES AND POWER LINES TO TOPPLE...CREATING POWER OUTAGES. THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN FOR ICE WILL BE FROM THE BRAINERD LAKES REGION...TO THE DULUTH AREA AND INTO THE ARROWHEAD. ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN WILL BE FROM HINCKLEY INTO NORTHWEST WISCONSIN... ALTHOUGH WE ARE EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO SLOWLY RISE ABOVE FREEZING OVERNIGHT. UNTIL THEN...ROADS MAY BECOME EXTREMELY SLICK IN A HURRY. SNOW WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN FURTHER NORTH...FROM THE IRON RANGE NORTHWARD TO THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 8 INCHES OF NEW SNOW IS EXPECTED TONIGHT AND MONDAY. STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN...WITH GUSTY EAST WINDS BECOMING WESTERLY LATER TONIGHT AND ON MONDAY. SOME WIND GUSTS MAY REACH 40 MPH AT TIMES...CAUSING SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

MOSTLY SLEET AND SNOW ALONG WITH SOME FREEZING RAIN WAS FALLING ACROSS THE NORTHLAND AS OF LATE EVENING...WITH SOME RAIN OCCURRING IN SPOTS AS WELL AS TEMPERATURES HAVE SLOWLY CREPT ABOVE FREEZING OVER FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE NORTHLAND. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE MAINLY SNOW OR SLEET OVER FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA...BUT SOME FREEZING RAIN WILL ALSO OCCUR AT TIMES. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL SEE A CONTINUED WINTRY MIX FROM SNOW AND SLEET TO RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN. SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE STILL EXPECTED TO WARM SOME OVERNIGHT AND THAT SHOULD CAUSE MORE RAIN TO OCCUR AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES...MOST LIKELY FROM THE BRAINERD LAKES EAST ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT TEMPERATURES MAY WARM TO NEAR TO JUST ABOVE FREEZING OVER MOST OF THE NORTHLAND FOR A TIME LATER TONIGHT AS THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION DIMINISHES. THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION WAS NEARING BRAINERD AS OF MIDNIGHT AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST AND NORTH OVERNIGHT.

A SPOTTER IN BRAINERD REPORTED AROUND A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ON SURFACES. TRAVEL WILL BE DANGEROUS IN SPOTS OVERNIGHT. TREES AND POWER LINES ALREADY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ICE ON THEM. ANY ADDITIONAL FREEZING RAIN AND THE GUSTY WINDS COULD CAUSE TREES AND POWER LINES TO TOPPLE...CREATING POWER OUTAGES. ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW A QUARTER INCH FROM MIDNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. THE HIGHEST SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATION WILL BE FROM THE IRON RANGE NORTHWARD TO THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. TOTAL SNOWFALL WILL RANGE FROM 4 TO 9 INCHES THROUGH MONDAY THERE. STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN...WITH GUSTY EAST WINDS BECOMING WESTERLY ON MONDAY. SOME WIND GUSTS MAY BE AROUND 35 MPH AT TIMES...CAUSING SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

expected with the highest amounts from Siren and Webster to
Hayward to Mercer and points south. Precipitation may end as
drizzle or freezing drizzle. The troughs quickly shuffle eastward
overnight allowing a return to a quasi-zonal flow for late
overnight and Saturday, yielding a brief break in active weather
ahead of the holiday storm.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 340 PM CST Fri Dec 23 2016
The primary focus for the long term periods continues to be on the
major winter storm/strong surface low that will affect the entire
region on Christmas and Monday. The condensed version is that
there are very few major changes to the forecast this afternoon
regarding this storm as overall large scale model guidance remains
in rather remarkable agreement on the placement/timing of the
synoptic scale features.
However, there is still major uncertainty regarding a couple of
important details that will have make or break impacts on the
sensible weather. Namely, the continued major model differences in
surface temps Christmas afternoon into Christmas night. While
there is little doubt that a warm layer aloft will rapidly return
northward and likely switch precip over to liquid, the GFS is by
far the most aggressive model at surging the surface warm sector
northward, while the NAM continues to be the most aggressive at
holding a shallow sub-freezing layer at the surface for a
majority of the event. The yields tremendous uncertainty and a
very large range of possibilities for high-impact weather in the
form of ice accumulations from freezing rain.
We are continuing to focus our messaging on at least *some*
potential (perhaps 30-35%) of a quarter inch of ice accumulation
or more in a band from Walker and the Brainerd lakes region east-
northeastward to Grand Rapids/Duluth and parts of the MN
Arrowhead. The grids and official forecast at this point have ice
accums generally between a tenth and two tenths of an inch in
these areas, as there is also, of course, the potential that the
warmer models verify and precip switches over to plain rain for
several hours Christmas Day evening. We are hopeful that the
various models come to a better consensus over the next 24-36
hours, but ascertaining specific areas for significant freezing
rain and ice accums is often extremely difficult even a few hours
in advance, let alone 2 days.
This storm should also bring progressively higher snowfall totals
the farther north/west one goes in the Duluth CWA, with the
potential for 6+ inches in the far northwest, as well as the
higher terrain of the Mn Arrowhead, as enhanced by deep/strong
easterly flow across Lake Superior. It should also be emphasized
that this will be a heavy, wet snow, that will cling to
trees/power lines/etc. So even areas that do not see ice accums
could still see power outages. The entire ice/snow accumulation
region will also be swept by 20-35 mph winds with some higher
gusts on Monday as the strong surface low departs, which could
exacerbate the potential power outage problems.
The storm will be followed by a short intrusion of arctic air,
with a transition back to a more progressive WNW flow regime aloft
by the middle of next week, which will bring a couple chances for
light snow or mixed precip with a couple of weak waves - each
followed by a 12-24 hour cool down.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1146 PM CST Fri Dec 23 2016
A trough of low pressure extended from near KCDD to just west of
KBRD then continued southwest. This trough will move east clearing
northwest Wisconsin early Saturday morning. Widespread IFR and
MVFR ceilings covered the Northland and other than some localized
brief clearing, they will continue overnight. Patchy drizzle or
freezing drizzle will be possible ahead of the trough but due to
the expected coverage we did not include in the TAFS at this time.
KCDD reported UP in the observation at 0530Z which may be
freezing drizzle or a mix of light snow/freezing drizzle given
cloud top temperatures of only -12C. There also could also be
some fog overnight but the visibility will most likely remain
MVFR.
Some partial clearing of the stratus deck is expected on Saturday
but more stratus is expected to move in later Saturday night.
The wind will become northwest behind the trough then continue to
veer to north then east through the rest of the period.
