    Areas affected...Portions of central and northern Minnesota

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 012008Z - 020015Z

    SUMMARY...Moderate to locally heavy snowfall is expected to develop
    across portions of central MN and the Northland through late this
    afternoon. Snowfall rates exceeding 1" per hour will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Latest observational trends, including shallow
    convective elements in visible satellite imagery, increasing
    snowfall rates, and decreased visibility, suggest heavier snowfall
    potential is materializing across portions of central MN and the
    Northland this afternoon. A stout low-level jet, and to some extent
    DPVA associated with an upstream shortwave trough, is supporting
    enhanced ascent across this region. As the low level flow slowly
    continues to veer, isentropic ascent should become maximized within
    the outlined area where it will be juxtaposed with higher moisture
    content through the DGZ and aloft. In addition to the heavier rates,
    surface winds near 15 to 20 kt will aid in reduced visibility
    through late this afternoon.
