Updated snowfall forecast

Based on the latest data we have decided to lower the snowfall amounts across the board....

Snowfall map.

From the latest data we looked at.Here is our total snowfall map, valid from Saturday through early Sunday morning. If drier air works off of Lake Superior some of those totals will be much lower than forecasted....Also could see LES form as the low pushes into the UP of MI as winds become Northerly/Northwesterly...Parts of the South shore snow belt could pick up more than 8 inches.....Looks like the track is rather set of this low pressure system...Models have been doing a rather good job on this storm system....Now if this system slows more we will have to up the snowfall amount across the board...Something we will be watching very close.

On the early morning hours of November 10th we picked up 1 inch of snowfall....Here are a few pictures of it....More snow on the way for this weekend, our forecast will be issued today or this evening.

Snowfall forecast map.

Here is the latest thinking on the forecasted snow amounts that are possible...This could change later this evening,however as of right now this is how it appears to be setting up.

Accumulating snows.

Forecast below will stand as is....Accumulating snows looking better for parts of the FA...Rain and snow showers a forecasted to form late tonight rain should become all snow after 3 AM though not forecasting much in the way of accumulations, some snow may accumulate which will cause slushy roads and sidewalks.Should be less than an inch...Snow is forecasted to mix back with rain on Tuesday mainly in the afternoon...Rain/snow mixture is forecasted to change back to all snow....Several inches of snow is possible....Still really hard to pinpoint the exact amounts attm, but we will give it a stab....People traveling through the area should keep up on the latest forecast on this possible winter storm to effect parts of the FA..... Main areas that could be effected as of right now....Looks like points east of a Cumberland, Menomonie, and Durand line.... This looks to be the area with the best chance at seeing over 4 inches of snow...Meanwhile points West of said line still should see some accumulating snow....Here we should see 1 to 3 inches of snow...Further South looks to be rain/snow mixture, however depending on the exact track of the low and how fast cold air can mix into this area, will be the factor on how much snow will accumulate if any at all. Again it is really hard at this point to pin down the exact amounts and areas, but as of the latest computer model guidance this is how it stands right now...
