.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...GOES IR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW
CLOUD  SHIELD WITH CLOUD TOP TEMPS AROUND -50 TO -55C ACROSS NRN MI AND
MOVING WNW.  EXPECTING LGT/MOD SNOWS TO CONTINUE NEXT SEVERAL HRS AS
CLOUD ELEMENTS ROTATE WNW INTO DEFORMATION ZONE THAT IS LOCATED WNW OF MI.
.
POSITION OF THIS DEFORMATION ZONE IS BEGINNING TO TILT AND BECOME
MORE SW-NE ORIENTED AS THE UPPER-LVL LOW SPINNING ACROSS CENTRAL
IL SLOWLY DRIFTS EWD AS DEPICTED FROM WV LOOP.  SFC/LLVL WINDS ARE
INDICATED THAT A MORE FAVORABLE SW FETCH IS DEVELOPING ACROSS LK MI
AND LIKELY RESULTING IN A LAKE-ENHANCED SITUATION WITH SNOWFALL RATES
INCREASING ACROSS THE ERN SHORES OF WI/NE IL/NW IN.  IR LOOP HAS SHOWN
SOME ENHANCEMENT IN CLOUD ELEMENTS ACROSS THIS DISCUSSION AREA OVER THE
PAST 1-2 HRS.  AS MOISTURE FROM THE LK IS ALLOWED TO BECOME ENTRAINED
AND WITH LONGER/MORE FAVORABLE FETCH SETTING UP...SNOWFALL RATES OF
1.0"+/HR WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS NEAR 2.0"/HR POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
WRN SHORES OF LK MI OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS.
