My HWD

This HWD is for the whole forecast area.......
***MAJOR WINTER STORM***
Low pressure is forecasted to kick out of the CO area on Monday and move towards the area...Latest computer model runs have the track of the low through SW WI through our Eastern WI Counties...This track as of right now would produce an area of heavy snow through out much of the FA...Right now it appears the best areas to pick up close to or over 12 inches of snow would be from SW of Brainerd through Duluth and points just NW of there....Elsewhere's...6 to as much as 12 inches will be possible in my MN Counties...Over in WI 4 to 10 inches will be possible...The more North one heads the better the chance at seeing the high end of the forecasted snowfall amounts...The NWS has posted winter storm watch for most of the FA,however my Southern Counties of WI..Barron,and Rusk are clear from the watch attm....I do think the NWS will issue a winter storm watch for them Counties some time today....Some mixed precip is also possible in my WI Counties..Left it out of the forecast though..As this track is really not set in stone yet.....This storm system will also pack a nice punch of wind....Winds could gust well over 25 MPH...I don't think we will see the 30 MPH winds with this system as it will be slowly weaken as it moves through,and models aren't showing it either...Nevertheless winds that strong will produce blowing and drifting snow.This will lead to poor visibilities,along with near blizzard conditions from time to time...If you must travel from Monday night through Tuesday night make sure you still have you winter safety kit in you vehicle...If you become stuck stay with your vehicle and wait for help...Stay tuned to you local media and the NWS for the latest updates on this major winter storm set to slam the FA....Also keep it here we will update as much as we can....
