Additionally, strong winds will continue to support areas of blizzard conditions, especially in open country and under heavier snow bands. DISCUSSION...Latest radar mosaics and surface observations show an intense cyclone over the Twin Cities area. Aloft, ascent associated with a narrow, but strong, zone of warm advection between 850-700 mb is overlapping with lift within the left-exit region of a 500 mb jet, which is supporting a broad swath of moderate to heavy snowfall rates from the Sisseton hills in northeast SD into west-central MN. These ascent mechanisms will continue to be favorably phased over the next several hours, and will support 1-2 inch/hour snowfall rates across central MN to northern WI and parts of the Upper Peninsula as the cyclone and surface freezing line shift east. Given the focused corridor of mesoscale ascent, snow banding will be possible and may support locally higher snowfall rates in excess of 2 inches/hour.=20 In addition to the potential for heavy snowfall rates, 25-35 mph surface winds on the backside of the surface low are supporting areas of blizzard conditions with visibility below 1/4 mile recently noted on several web cams across western MN. Although temperatures will remain relatively warm (30-32 F), the combination of strong winds and moderate/heavy snowfall rates will continue to promote areas of blizzard conditions, especially across open country and under any heavier snow bands that develop. ...Moore.. 11/25/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5qCCD970emhN66OpDw5FcIHuik_ff-LDHfLl18awdIl1FDy157JiH3C3xstL69Erb3RnU5VQU= _TuvHb5-AWWGw8VtYs$ for graphic product...
