    Areas affected...central and northeastern Minnesota into northern Wisconsin/western Upper Michigan

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 051022Z - 051615Z

    SUMMARY...A band of moderate to heavy snowfall will shift gradually
    eastward and northward across central and northeastern Minnesota,
    northern Wisconsin, and into western Upper Michigan. Rates
    exceeding 1" per hour are expected in heavier bands.

    DISCUSSION...A mid-level vort max -- now crossing southern and
    eastern North Dakota per water vapor imagery -- is forecast to dig east-southeastward with time. As this occurs, a north-northwest to east-southeast zone of warm advection/isentropic ascent will
    persist, as southerly low-level flow near 50 kt shifts eastward
    across the upper Mississippi Valley region through midday. This
    ascent will allow a band of moderate to heavy snowfall -- currently
    ongoing from north-central North Dakota to east-central Wisconsin --
    to continue. With time, the band is expected to drift slowly
    northward, focusing from central/northeastern Minnesota to northern Wisconsin/western Upper Michigan through late morning. As this
    occurs, some increase in intensity of the band is expected,
    corresponding with some enhancement in snowfall rates with time.=20
    Within the heaviest portions of the band, snowfall rates in the 1"
    to 1 1/2" per hour range are expected. As the upper system
    advances, a gradual west-to-east shift of the area of heaviest
    snowfall is expected, tapering with time across North Dakota, and
    spreading across Lake Michigan toward northern Lower Michigan
    through late morning.
