Areas affected...Northern Wisconsin...Upper Peninsula...and northern
Michigan

Concerning...Heavy snow 

Valid 060024Z - 060630Z

SUMMARY...Heavy snow with 1-2" per hour rates are expected to
develop across northern Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula, and northern
Michigan this evening.

DISCUSSION...A swath of moderate to heavy snow is falling across
eastern Minnesota, central/northern Wisconsin, and into Upper
Peninsula of Michigan. Frontogenesis and isentropic up-glide are
occurring over this region with the strongest lift located between
650 mb and 500 mb ( -5 C and -15 C). Stronger lift is located
slightly farther south across southern Wisconsin/far northern
Illinois where profiles are more favorable for sleet/freezing rain
(see MCD 070). However, enough upward motion within the dendritic
growth zone should allow 1"+ per hour snowfall rates to develop
across portions of northern Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan, and northern Michigan this evening. Some local snowfall
rate enhancements of 2" per hour may occur as the shortwave trough
moves over the region this evening. Snow will taper off from west to
east after 05z as the best defined for lifting/upward motion shift
eastward across the Great Lakes region.
