DISCUSSION...To the east of a large upper low over the northern Plains, a compact shortwave trough, visible on evening WV imagery, was moving northward across IA/IL. Ahead of the shortwave, strong dynamic lift was visible in an expanding stratiform precipitation shield from northern IL and across much of southern WI. Surface temperatures across much of WI are at or slightly above freezing currently. Moderate to heavy precipitation should result in dynamic cooling to near or just below freezing as early as 05z, supporting a rapid change over from the current mix of rain/snow to all snow. With strong height falls and weak upright instability, snow rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are possible within any banded structures able to develop. Snow should continue overnight expanding into northern WI, western upper MI and northeast MN later tonight. Snow will begin tapering off from southwest to northeast early tomorrow morning. ...Lyons.. 12/15/2022 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-MXwcfkYszZyBLthbxbE53VbIarZ5D88gr2P2TELgboQlQVYrecmFxCKwan1D-vy666X_3rJ2= WJbzg63J3JZ7Jw7Ggk$ for graphic product...
