EVENT...MOD/HVY SNOWFALL AS LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS BECOME REORGANIZED
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...RECENT GOES VIS IMAGERY SHOWS A
WELL-DEFINED N-S ORIENTED SINGLE LES BAND THAT EXTENDS FROM ACROSS LAKE
SUPERIOR AND INTO LAKE MICHIGAN.  THIS SINGLE BAND HAS BEEN TRAVELING
NEARLY DUE SOUTH OVER THE PAST  COUPLE OF HOURS NOW EXTENDING AS FAR SOUTH
AS 7 MILES WEST OF KMKG.  GOES DERIVED WINDS SUGGEST THAT CONTINUED N/NW
FLOW WILL ALLOW THIS SINGLE BAND TO CONTINUE ITS SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION
AND SHOULD MERGE WITH THE CURRENT MULTIPLE LES BANDS OVER SOUTHEAST
LAKE MICHIGAN.  THAT SHOULD RESULT IN INCREASED SNOWFALL INTENSITY OF
UP TO 1-2"/HR FOR SOUTHWEST MI AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF INDIANA IN THE
DISCUSSION AREA DURING THE NEXT 2-4 HRS.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR..
