.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1142 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

UPDATED FOR AVIATION SECTION BELOW. ALSO...ARROWHEAD
WARNING/ADVISORY HAS EXPIRED.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1017 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

ONE MORE UPDATE TO FRESHEN UP TRENDS. ALONG WITH STRONGER WINDS ON
LAKE SUPERIOR...HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY HAS BECOME A THREAT...SO HAVE
ISSUED THIS WARNING AS WELL. LAND HEADLINES ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD
SHAPE. SNOW HAS COME TO AN END OVER THE TIP OF THE ARROWHEAD...BUT
STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL BE CAUSING BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE
SNOW THAT FELL EARLIER THIS EVENING...AND HAVE DECIDED TO LET THIS
WARNING/ADVISORY RIDE UNTIL MIDNIGHT. SNOW HAS JUST GOTTEN GOING
AGAIN OVER THE NORTHWEST WISCONSIN ADVISORY...AND THE FRONTOGENSIS
BAND SETTING UP THERE IS RELATIVELY WEAK EVEN AS THE LAKE EFFECT
ENHANCEMENT IS GETTING GOING NICELY. ADVISORY SHOULD STILL WORK
OUT THERE. WIND CHILL HEADLINES ALSO IN FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE...THOUGH
KINL HAS ALREADY BEEN HITTING ADVISORY CRITERIA AHEAD OF THE
BEGINNING OF THE WARNING.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 818 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

A FEW SHIP REPORTS HAVE COME IN SINCE 00Z INDICATING WINDS OVER
THE LAKE WERE SUSTAINING 30 TO 35 KNOTS...WITH SOME GUSTS OF 40
KNOTS OR HIGHER. EVEN KGNA IS REPORTING GUSTS TO 36 KNOTS. THESE STRONG
WINDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AND
ISALLOBARIC RISE JUST NOW MOVING OVER THE LAKE AS OF 02Z. EXPECT
THAT THE NEXT 4-6 HOURS OR SO WILL SHOW THE STRONGEST WINDS OVER
THE LAKE OF THE NIGHT. WE WERE ALREADY FLIRTING WITH GALE
CRITERIA...SO HAVE UPGRADED TO A GALE WARNING FOR THE LAKE
SUPERIOR NEARSHORE WATERS THROUGH 4 AM...AND LEFT THE REMAINDER OF THE
SMALL CRAFT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 543 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

UPDATED AVIATION SECTION BELOW. EXPECT TO SEND AN UPDATE SHORTLY
TO FRESHEN UP PRECIPITATION TRENDS...TEMPERATURES AND WINDS.
OTHERWISE THE FORECAST AND HEADLINES IN GOOD SHAPE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 348 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

MAIN CONCERNS IN THE SHORT TERM REMAIN FOCUSED AROUND THE LINGERING
SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE ARROWHEAD THIS EVENING AND ACROSS PORTIONS
OF NORTH CENTRAL WI...ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING...WITH A BLAST OF VERY COLD ARCTIC AIR ARRIVING TONIGHT OVER
NE MN AND SPREADING THROUGH THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY AND
PERSISTING INTO MONDAY.

WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES FOR SNOW CONTINUE THROUGH THE ARROWHEAD
UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 3 INCHES
POSSIBLE...AND ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE IN WI WHERE LAKE ENHANCED SNOW
WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND PRODUCE A SWATH OF 2 TO 5 INCHES FROM NRN
BAYFIELD TO NRN ASHLAND/IRON COUNTIES. A FEW OF THE USUALLY FAVORED
LOCATIONS COULD SEE SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMTS. THOUGHT WAS GIVEN TO
UPGRADING TO A WARNING FOR THE SNOWBELT REGION AS CONDITIONS LOOK
QUITE FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW. CAA IN THE MID LEVELS
COMBINING WITH RELATIVELY WARM LAKE SFC TEMPS WILL PRODUCE STEEP
LAPSE RATES IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. MOISTURE SOURCE APPEARS TO BE
DECENT AS WELL WITH A GOOD NRLY FETCH OVER THE LAKE. HOWEVER...THE
COLD AIR REALLY UNDERCUTS THE MIXING AND CONVECTIVE PROCESSES LATE
THIS EVENING AND AFTER MIDNIGHT...WHICH WILL LIKELY ACT TO LIMIT THE
PRODUCTION OF LES.

MOST OF THE ATTENTION IN THE SHORT TERM GOES TO THE VERY COLD AIR
MASS THAT WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION BEGINNING TONIGHT OVER NE MN AND
EVENTUALLY OVERTAKE THE ENTIRE NORTHLAND LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE
AIR MASS WILL HAVE 850MB TEMPS -20 TO -30 DEG C ASSOCIATED WITH IT
AND ALLOW SFC TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO IN NW
WI...AND INTO THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S BELOW ZERO IN NE MN TONIGHT.
GUSTY N/NW WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES IN
THE -15 TO -25 DEG F RANGE IN NW WI...AND INTO THE -30 TO -40 DEG F
RANGE IN NE MN. THE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY WILL NOT
RECOVER VERY MUCH...WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO ONLY REACH INTO THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS BELOW ZERO. EVEN COLDER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECT SUNDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 348 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS FAR
SOUTHERN AREAS MONDAY NIGHT A SECONDARY CONCERN.

A VERY COLD AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTHLAND THROUGH MUCH
OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.

WE EXPECT LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT TO RANGE FROM 15 TO NEARLY 30 BELOW
ZERO ACROSS THE NORTHLAND. WE WILL BE WEDGED BETWEEN A STRONG AREA
OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE EAST. THE
GRADIENT WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR 4 TO 10 MPH WINDS FOR MOST
AREAS SUNDAY NIGHT RESULTING IN LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. 850MB TEMPS
PER THE ECMWF RANGE FROM -26C TO -30C AT 00Z MON. WE ISSUED A WIND
CHILL WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.
PORTIONS OF THE NORTHLAND...PARTICULARLY FROM AITKIN COUNTY EAST
ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH THE WIND CHILL WARNING
THRESHOLD OF -40F...BUT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WISE TO ISSUE A
WATCH EVEN IF WE END UP GOING WITH AN ADVISORY AS IT WILL BE A
CLOSE CALL. WIND CHILLS FROM 40 TO 50 BELOW LOOK LIKELY FOR THE
REST OF THE NORTHLAND.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM WY 18Z MON TO NORTHERN IL/IN
BY 12Z TUE. MOST OF THE NORTHLAND WILL BE TOO FAR NORTH TO RECEIVE
MUCH SNOWFALL FROM THIS LOW...BUT FAR SOUTHERN AREAS COULD RECEIVE
AN INCH OR TWO. THIS SHOULD BE A VERY LOW LIQUID TO SNOW EVENT.

TEMPS ALOFT WILL MODERATE SLIGHTLY AS THIS LOW PASSES THROUGH THE
REGION...BUT A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR WITH 850MB TEMPS BACK
TO -27C TO -30C MOVES IN TUESDAY. HIGH TEMPS MONDAY-WEDNESDAY WILL
REMAIN BELOW ZERO FOR MOST AREAS...THEN SLIGHT MODIFICATION WILL
OCCUR. WE WILL LIKELY NEED WIND CHILL ADVISORIES/WARNINGS THROUGH
MUCH OF THE WEEK AS WINDS REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH. THE MODELS TRACK A
1050MB TO 1055MB HIGH FROM SOUTHERN AL/SK INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...THEN CONTINUE IT TO EAST/SOUTHEAST.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1142 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

SNOW WITH IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR
ANOTHER HOUR OR SO BEFORE GRADUALLY RETURNING TO VFR BY 10Z THIS
MORNING. OTHERWISE...KDLH AND KHIB GETTING SOME SCATTERED MVFR
CEILINGS THAT SHOULD ALSO GRADUALLY DISSIPATE IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. SOME CUMULUS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY LATE MORNING WITH BASES
2-3KFT AND PERHAPS SOME MVFR CIGS BUT OTHERWISE TO REMAIN VFR
THROUGH REMAINDER OF PERIOD.
