    Mesoscale Discussion 0011
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0941 AM CST Mon Jan 07 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of Upper-Michigan

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 071541Z - 072045Z

    SUMMARY...Snowfall rates of an inch/hour possible across portions of
    the Upper-Peninsula of Michigan. The eastern half of the discussion
    area is likely to see higher accumulations. Snowfall will likely be
    maximized between 18-20Z with steady decrease thereafter.

    DISCUSSION...Current surface observations show that temperatures in
    eastern Upper-Michigan are in the upper-20s with temperatures in the
    low-30s farther west. As an upstream shortwave trough, now in
    central Iowa, progresses northeast, mid-level ascent with aid from
    850 mb warm advection will continue to increase across the area
    where a deep, saturated profile within the DGZ exists per the 12Z
    APX sounding. With Sault Ste Marie already reporting heavy snow,
    areal extent of 1 inch/hour snowfall rates should increase over the
    next few hours. In addition, marginal blizzard conditions with
    reduced visibilities are also possible with KCIU reporting gusts of
    35-40+ kts over the last hour. RAP forecast sounding show the
    strongest vertical velocities occurring between 18-20Z. Thereafter,
    snowfall rates should decrease as subsidence in the wake of the
    trough occurs. The eastern Upper-Peninsula will likely see the
    greatest totals given that temperatures there should remain below
    freezing for the duration of the event. Farther west, temperatures
    are already marginal and weak low-level warm advection may temper accumulations.
