SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WV IMAGERY SHOWS S/WV MOVING THOUGH THE
MIDWEST WITH BAROCLINIC HAVING LEAF FORMED OVER PARTS OF NE/IA/S MN/WI. PW
VALUES THROUGH THE MIDWEST ARE NOT TOO BAD..AT MOST 0.25"-0.3"..ENOUGH
TO PRODUCE SOME MOD TO OCCASIONALLY HVY SNOWS..PARTICULARLY WITH THE
COLD TEMPS ACROSS THE REGION. LATEST SFC ANALYSIS INDICATES SFC LOW IN
NW CORNER OF MO WITH A STNRY FRNT CROSSING SRN IA FROM SW/NE. THETA-E
ADV INTO CENTRAL IA WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW SHOULD PRODUCE INCREASING
SNOW RATES ACROSS THE STATE TO BUILD SWWD FROM THE ALREADY MOD/HVY SNOW
RATES OCCURRING IN S WI. BELIEVE THIS HEAVIER AREA OF SNOW WILL OCCUR
FROM SW WI INTO E CENTRAL NE OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS. CERTAINLY POSSIBLE
FOR 1-2"/HR SNOW RATES TO OCCUR SWWD INTO THIS AREA AS HAS ALREADY BEEN
SEEN IN PARTS OF SRN WI WITH THE INCREASING LOW LVL CNVG FROM THE NEWD
MOVING SFC LOW. SEE WEB ADDRESS IN ABOUT 5-10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC.
