Areas affected...Northern IL...Southern WI...Eastern IA
Concerning...Heavy snow=20
Valid 121023Z - 121430Z
SUMMARY...Snow rates of 1+ inch per hour will spread northward this
morning.
DISCUSSION...At 1015 UTC, a broad region of moderate precipitation
is ongoing within the warm conveyor belt of a deepening cyclone
currently centered near the Ozark Plateau. Within this region, an
area of locally heavier precipitation is noted from eastern IA into
northern IL, where some enhancement is likely being provided by a
midlevel shortwave trough that is moving across southern IL in
advance of the primary shortwave across the central/southern Plains.
Some increase in moderate to heavy snow observations has been noted
over the last hour across northwest/north-central IL, and this trend
is likely to continue as heavier precipitation spreads into
northeast IL and southern WI. Favorable moistening and ascent within
a deep layer (including the dendritic growth zone) will support snow
rates of 1+ inch per hour for at least a few hours this morning.=20
Continued strong low-level warm advection will eventually result in
a snow-to-rain transition along the southern periphery of the
ongoing precipitation shield, with the rain/snow line expected to
gradually advance northward into parts of northern IL later this
morning.
