SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...UPPER LOW CENTERED IN EASTERN WI NEAR
SHEBOYGAN COUNTY-LAKE MICHIGAN BORDER AREA AND MOVEMENT NORTH BEING HALTED
BY DRY AIR IN GOES WATER LOOP SURGING SOUTH OF JAMES BAY PAST FEW HRS.
HOWEVER THIS HAS KEPT DEFORMATION BAND ACROSS FAR NORTHERN LOWER MI INTO
EASTERN PORTION OF UPPER MI COUNTIES AS PW MOISTURE ROTATING AROUND
LARGE EXPANSE OF UPPER LOW/TROF HAS GOTTEN CAUGHT IN THAT DEFORMATION
AREA FOR SOME MODERATE SNOW REPORTS.  SLOW MOVEMENT OF LOW EAST SHOULD
INSURE STEADY LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW CONTINUING IN ABOUT THE SAME AREAS
MOST OF THE MORNING.  TEMPS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR DURING THE DAY WILL BE
THE DETERMINING FACTOR AS TO HOW MUCH SNOW ACTUALLY LAYS ON THE GROUND.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
