DISCUSSION...Water-vapor imagery shows a closed mid-level low moving slowly northeastward over eastern NE, with strong DCVA overspreading a low-level baroclinic zone across MN and WI. The resulting isentropic ascent/frontogenetic forcing is leading to a band of heavy snow across parts of southeastern MN. Deep, saturated thermodynamic profiles with strong ascent in the dendritic growth zone should continue favoring heavy snowfall rates across southeastern MN into western WI this afternoon. Snowfall rates up to 1 in/hr are expected with this snow band. Further south over southern MN, warmer temperatures at 850 mb are yielding mixed winter precipitation given sufficiently cold surface temperatures. ...Supinie/Weinman.. 01/03/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-9tTVAuhXjRivpwvgLUoAWFWe3LCgDBZm3Xd9z5mOg1vZImygWLxAGY7vyvKnRmGN5Ll9snaA= 7bPw7oKRVErdKoANXQ$ for graphic product...
