SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...250-400MB UPPER LOW AS PER SATELLITE
WINDS STILL BACK ACROSS C SD.   LOWER LEVEL COMMA CLOUD MARKING THE
MOST INTENSE SNOW ACROSS INTERIOR NE TO E CENTRAL SD...ESPECIALLY IN
DEFORMATION ZONE.  COLDEST CLOUD TOPS OR CLOSE TO THEM CENTERED FROM
SANBORN TO ROBERTS COUNTY MARKS HIGHEST SNOW RATES AND THIS EXTENDS INTO
W CENTRAL MN NEAR BIG STONE AND TRAVERSE COUNTY.  COMMA TAIL ORIENTED SW
TO NE CONTINUES TO PIVOT ABOUT LOW LEVEL (500MB AND BELOW) CENTER IN E
CENTRAL SD...SO THINK HIGHEST SNOW RATES NEXT 3HRS WILL SLOWLY MIGRATE
NE TOWARD EXT SE ND...ACROSS W CENTRAL MN AND INTO
INTERIOR NW MN WHERE SNOW RATES CAN INCREASE TO ONE INCH PER HR.
DEEP MOISTURE PLUME TO THE EAST ACROSS IL/WI BEING BROUGHT WESTWARD ON
A CONVEYOR BELT INTO N/C MN AND SE ND AND E ND FOR CONTINUED EXCELLENT
MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THIS VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM.  WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR...SEE GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON HOME PAGE
