    Mesoscale Discussion 0244

    Areas affected...Central WI...southern MI Upper Peninsula

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 191717Z - 192015Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy snow, with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, will
    continue and expand northeast across the discussion area this
    afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Upper-level low pressure over northeast KS will
    continue moving steadily east as an accompanying surface low moves
    from northern MO into northern IL by late afternoon. As surface
    temperatures cool, snow will expand in coverage in response to
    increasing large-scale ascent and spread northeast through late
    afternoon. Intensifying frontogenetic forcing within the 850-700 mb
    layer will contribute to snowfall rates of one inch per hour
    becoming widespread, and weak elevated buoyancy/embedded convective
    elements will result in areas of locally higher rates of up to 2
    inches per hour.

    As the surface low moves east-northeast, strong/gusty north to
    northeast winds of 30 to 45 mph with higher gusts will result in
    areas of whiteout conditions.
