, freezing rain and sleet starting to move in,
.a mixture of precipitation, in the form of light freezing rain
And sleet, was moving into the area. This precipitation was
Across northeast iowa and far southern wisconsin. As this band
Lifts north, it will likely produce a coating of ice on exposed
Surfaces. The band should gradually transition over to sleet
Toward the iowa minnesota border. All of the precipitation should
Transition over to snow during the evening hours.
The remainder of the area north of the iowa minnesota border
Should see primarily all snow. Some light snow will develop across
The area this afternoon with the heaviest snow expected this
Evening into the overnight hours. There is a small possibility
That some mixed precipitation could fall as the precipitation
Starts, but it should not be enough to produce any ice
Accumulations.
Some uncertainty still exists for total snow amounts across
Northeast iowa into southwest wisconsin due to the mixed
Precipitation potential. Snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches
Still look possible along with some ice accumulation. Farther to
The north where mainly all snow is expected, total snow amounts
Should range from 5 to 10 inches. This band of snow should be
Centered on the interstate 90 corridor, especially from la
Crosse east toward black river falls and mauston. For areas north
Of neillsville wisconsin, snow amounts of 3 to 6 inches are
Expected.
In addition to the snow, winds will increase overnight to 15 to
25 mph out of the north and continue to tuesday. These winds will
Create drifting snow and will further hamper travel across the
Region.
Winter storm warnings are in effect for almost the entire local
Area through tuesday. A winter weather advisory is in effect for

This snow will then continue through the overnight hours.
Ice accumulations up to a quarter of a inch will be possible.
Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches are still expected,
But could be affected by the amount of mixed precipitation that
Falls. North winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph overnight and
Tuesday which will create drifting snow and possibly some blowing
Snow. This will further hamper travel across the region. These
Winds could also produce some power outages if power lines and
Trees become laden with ice.

Sleet, and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also
Possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.

, a winter storm will impact portions of southeast michigan
Tonight through tuesday night,
.southerly flow in advance of a developing low pressure system
Over the central us will allow snowfall to increase over the area
Tonight. The low will then track across southeast michigan on
Tuesday. Even though the surface low is forecast to be rather
Weak, strong forcing in the upper portions of the atmosphere
Along with an unseasonably high amount of moisture will provide
The necessary ingredients for the development of moderate to heavy
Snowfall.
The track of the surface low still remains somewhat uncertain.
Due to the amount of warm air lifting into the area from the
South, precipitation type will also be heavily dependent on the
Track of the low. If it tracks farther west, snow will change
Over to rain more quickly, limiting snowfall accumulations. On
The other hand, if the low track is farther east, snowfall
Accumulations will be higher. Despite this uncertainty, there
Seems a decent chance that some locations will receive 6 or more
Inches of snow.
Later forecasts on this impending winter storm should continue to
Be closely monitored.

Off to flurries tuesday night. Snowfall accumulations of 6 to 8
Inches will be possible by tuesday night. In fact, given the long
Duration of snow, some locations may see total snowfall approach
10 inches. If the storm system tracks farther west however, snow
May mix with or change over to rain which would dramatically lower
