    Mesoscale Discussion 2069

    Areas affected...Northern Wisconsin into northeast Minnesota

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 282340Z - 290345Z

    SUMMARY...Snow banding is probable over the next few hours across
    northern Wisconsin into northeast Minnesota. Moderate to heavy
    snowfall rates up to 1 inch/hour are possible. Lake-enhanced
    snowfall is also likely along the North Shore of MN.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar mosaics over the past hour have shown a
    gradual weakening of the stratiform precipitation over
    central/southern WI with a corresponding increase across northern
    portions of the state into northeast MN. Surface observations under
    this precipitation show occasional visibility reductions to 1/2 to
    1/4 mile. This uptick in snowfall is likely the result of increasing
    ascent ahead of an approaching vorticity maxima (noted in
    water-vapor and radar imagery over south-central MN), as well as
    more focused ascent within a swath of warm air advection between
    850-700 mb. Forecast soundings from northeast MN show a gradual
    deepening of the dentritic growth zone in the coming hours with much
    of this layer residing within a favorable zone of lift.
    Additionally, transient frontogenesis may further augment and
    organize mesoscale ascent. The combined result will be the potential
    for at least a loosely organized snow band that will support
    moderate to heavy snowfall rates up to 1 inch/hour. With Lake
    Superior surface temperatures in the upper 30s/low 40s and
    east/southeast winds, lake-effect enhancement is likely along the
    North Shore where heavier snowfall rates are probable.
