Mostly sunny skies but highs will remain in the single digits and low teens. - Active weather next week with multiple systems passing through the region. The Tuesday into Wednesday system currently looks to be the most impactful with the potential for heavy snowfall. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 313 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Current Conditions/Today: An arctic air mass has moved into the Upper Midwest and continues to flex its influence over the region this morning with temperatures as low as -15F in northern MN. Cold air will continuously pour over the region with highs today struggling to get out of the teens. With the cold air seeping over the region combined with northwest flow we can still expect some snow showers downstream of the bigger inland lakes, particularly up along the International Border. And of course, we can't forget about the South Shore. Snow will largely be focused over Iron and Ashland counties where they may pick up another inch or two of snow. Dry air in the low levels will look to shut off the lake effect snow showers this afternoon Active Pattern Next Week: Round One: Monday the arctic air mass begins to exit to the east with southerly flow returning to the region. There is a weak signal in the QPF field for some light snow to traverse the area Monday morning. While there may be some surface convergence to aide in lift, the latest deterministic guidance has the inactive portion of the shortwave overhead and may counteract the snow chances. As such, we have backed off the PoPs for the morning timeframe. Better synoptic forcing still looks to arrive in the afternoon as our first clipper crashes in from the NW. Confidence still remain high for this system to breach our borders after 9PM as both the Euro and GEFS remain in high agreement with their low tracks. This system will sport some increased QPF paired with a small area of increased lift leading to some higher snowfall rates. Most of this snow looks to fall in the overnight period with the Arrowhead and Borderlands likely seeing the bulk of the accumulation. The latest trends for snowfall amounts look to have been oscillating over the last 24 hours with the current run about where is was yesterday, advertising a quick couple of inches before this system exits Tuesday morning. At the moment it doesn't look like this system will warrant any headlines. However, as we are getting into the window when CAMs are coming into play. There is an emerging signal for a lake effect snowband to develop in the morning hours over Lake Superior. Most of the guidance keeps this offshore with some having it skirt by the North Shore. If this feature decides to park over the North Shore and then we get the additional snow from the clipper, then an advisory may be needed. Round Two: The more impressive system will be the second one slotted to come through Tuesday. While this is another system out of Alberta this low is projected to be slightly stronger. While the GEFS ensembles have weakened slightly since yesterday the low still has a return interval of 1 day in every 10 years which is pretty decent for a clipper system. This one also looks to carry more Pacific moisture with it. An impressive atmospheric river is expected to impact the Pacific NW on Monday and this system looks to siphon some of that moisture and deposit into the Northland. PWATs are projected to increase 0.50" The 00Z suite of deterministic guidance boasts some impressive forcing mechanics in play for this system with a strong signal in both QG vectors and differential vorticity. These synoptic features joined with some enhanced FGEN bands may lead to some very heavy snowfall rates. Based on the current track and timing these heavier rates would spread in from the west in the afternoon and push east through the evening hours. Ensembles are slowly locking in the track with good agreement from both the GEFS and Euro with the cluster of low tracks going through central MN. With this current track there will likely be a sharp gradient across our north where snow totals quickly taper off. Overall, the probabilities for widespread impactful snow have not changed too much from the previous forecast package. Still showing a 40-60% chance of greater than 4" for a large swath of our region excluding the Borderlands. Round 3? The main system of the week (round 2) should exit Wednesday afternoon with lingering lake effect snow showers for the South Shore. Possibly hot on its heels may be round 3. Still a great deal of uncertainty with this clipper system and it may dive far enough south that we won't see too much of an impact. For now, the latest deterministic guidance doesn't show this clipper packing as much of a punch as Tuesday's system. And given the spread in solutions at this time we are only carrying a 20-30% chance for snow at the moment. As the clipper activity wanes into the weekend a return of arctic air is expected. Highs will once again struggle to get out of the teens with overnight lows below zero. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1125 PM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 An arctic air mass will be moving over the region through the forecast period leading to mostly clear skies. Current satellite is still showing some lake effect snow showers coming off of the bigger inland lakes with MVFR ceilings just north of INL. It is subtle but it does appear that these clouds may cross over the terminal and potentially linger through the morning hours. && .MARINE /FOR NEAR SHORE WATERS OF WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/...

Less than an inch of accumulation is expected with this system. - Northwest winds Tuesday afternoon into late Tuesday evening could gust in excess of 55 mph. - Some of the coldest air of this winter season could be settling over the area by the end of the week, including high temperatures around or slightly above 0F and low temperatures down into the single digits below to teens below zero and wind chill values Friday morning as low as -20F to -35F. && .SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON/... Issued at 306 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Only a short break in precipitation is expected as the next round moves in central and north central South Dakota beginning this morning. This precip will be supported by a jet streak aloft, which will traverse eastward through the day this afternoon and evening, bringing the precip with it. Snow is expected to be the main precipitation type through the event, but there is minor potential for a transition to freezing rain this evening. This would occur due to the upper-levels de-saturating, potentially to the point at which temperatures in the saturated layer could be warm enough to support liquid accumulation aloft. Luckily model guidance shows this would be on the very back end of the system as precip is moving out, meaning that the greatest source of lift will be out of the area and precip rates would be lower. With this being such a marginal possibility, no significant freezing rain potential has been added to the gridded forecast, but also would not be surprised to see it if all the variables come together perfectly. Precipitation is expected to exit northeastern South Dakota around midnight tonight at the latest. In total with this system, only a few hundredths of liquid equivalent are expected, translating to less than an inch of snow across the area. Looking at the latest NBM 90th percentile as a reasonable "worst case" value, QPF values sit around a tenth of an inch. This would translate to between 1"-2" in accumulation. It is worth noting that under a similar pattern yesterday, snow ratios were quite high, so it is possible that we once again will overachieve and come closer to that 90th percentile snowfall. Monday offers a bit of a reprieve from the snow, and conditions are expected to be dry through the day. Another shortwave supporting a low pressure center will come off the upper-level ridge, but this time it will stay to the north of the Aberdeen CWA. The track of the low will allow temperatures to warm up a bit, particularly over central South Dakota. Highs tomorrow are expected to reach the 40s in that area (about 10 degrees above normal for mid-December), with highs decreasing down to the low-30s as you move into northeastern South Dakota. Areas west of the James River are expected to see highs above freezing, so partial to full melting of the snowpack will likely occur. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/... Issued at 306 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 When the period opens Monday night, in the middle of a low level WAA event. Much above normal temperatures are expected to persist into Tuesday, with precipitation developing/working west to east across the CWA, particularly north of U.S. Highway 212. Surface temperatures may be at or below freezing to start Tuesday morning, but within a few hours of sun-rise Tuesday, surface temperatures on an efficient westerly mixing layer wind should be warming things up to above freezing while precipitation potential persists. So, the forecast contains a few hours of freezing rain mention before transitioning to rain potential for the rest of the day. The clipper system bringing the warm air and precipitation chances on Tuesday will sweep a strong cold frontal passage through the CWA Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday evening. The combination of already quite strong winds at 0.5km with strong low level CAA and a strong pressure rise/tendency heading into early Tuesday evening supports the potential for headlineable winds. Still too soon to issue a wind headline for Tuesday afternoon/night. But, it is being monitored closely. Not for a blowing snow concern, given all the melting and rain that will have fallen during the day on Tuesday, crusting any remaining snowcover. But, strength of winds may make for rather hazardous traveling conditions. If there is any post cold frontal falling snow to be had across northeast South Dakota Tuesday night, that area could actually see some blowing snow/reduced visibility late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. Still more chances for precipitation showing up, potentially Wednesday night into Thursday morning and again by Saturday. Staring to approach 2 standard deviations below normal for 850hpa standardized temperature anomalies in the ENS S.A. data table for Friday. Ensemble-powered forecast low temperatures Thursday night are below zero (0F to ~ -12F) and high temperatures Friday range from ~ -3F to 12F, with Friday night lows dipping down below zero (~ -2F to -15F) again. Wind chill values are forecast to fall to between -20F to -35F heading into Friday morning while winds are forecast to be 10 to 20 mph sustained with gusts up to 30 mph possible. Simply brutal conditions, that are being monitored for a potential "cold weather" headline. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...

Accumulating snow will wind northwest to southeast early to mid-morning. Roads will be snow covered and slippery this morning. - Additional rounds of snowfall will be possible again Monday night into Tuesday and Tuesday night into Wednesday, though this second system may see rain mix in. Any rain that falls could initially cause slick spots on roads given cold road temperatures. - Additional rounds of snowfall are then possible through the end of the work week, but confidence in timing is much lower. - Below normal temperatures continue through next weekend. && .SHORT TERM... Issued 324 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Today and Tonight: Accumulating snowfall will wind down northwest to southeast early to mid-morning, exiting the southeast between 6 and 8 am. Snowfall rates will be highest early this morning east of a line from Madison to Monroe, with rates generally decreasing across the area towards daybreak. Expect snow covered roads this morning. Clouds will gradually decrease behind the exiting snowfall, with a fair amount of sunshine expected through the day as high pressure builds in. Despite the sunshine, high temps will struggle into the upper teens to low 20s, well below normal for early December. Breezy northerly winds will result in wind chills of single digits above zero through the day. Could see a dusting of snow for lakeshore areas tonight as winds turn onshore, which may bring a little lake effect snow inland. Amounts look low at this time, with up to a half an inch possible. Clouds are generally expected to increase overnight ahead of a weak shortwave. Temperatures may bottom out in the evening, before holding steady or possibly gradually rising overnight with the increased clouds and some weak warm air advection aloft. DDV && .LONG TERM... Issued 324 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Monday through Saturday: High pressure will bring dry and continued well below normal temps to the area Monday. A quick moving shortwave may bring a dusting of snow to southern Wisconsin Monday night as the high pushes eastward. A stronger low pressure system is expected to move through the area later Tuesday into early Wednesday. Models continue to suggest a more northern track with this system, which could lead to a rain/snow mix, with the best chance for snow in the southern forecast area. After a long stretch of below freezing temperatures, rain could initially freeze on pavement, particulary any untreated roads. This system bears watching, as a shift farther north would result in mainly rain for southern Wisconsin, but a shift south could bring a decent shot of accumulating snowfall to at least the northern forecast area. A colder airmass is then expected to quickly return to the area behind the low Wednesday night into Thursday. A pair of shortwaves late week will likely bring a return of snow chances to southern Wisconsin. Still a fair amount of uncertainty with the timing and strength of these systems. DDV && .AVIATION... Issued 324 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Accumulating snowfall will wind down northwest to southeast early to mid-morning, exiting the southeast between 12Z and 14Z. Snowfall rates will be highest early this morning east of a line from Madison to Monroe, with rates generally decreasing across the area towards daybreak. The snow will remain on the drier side, with snow to liquid ratios of 14-17 to 1. Low ceilings and visibilities will persist with the accumulating snowfall, with a return to VFR conditions as clouds clear with the exiting snowfall. Could see a dusting of snow for lakeshore areas tonight as winds turn onshore, which may bring a little lake effect snow inland. Winds will remain light this morning, but will pick up a bit out of the north by the afternoon, before becoming light and variable most places tonight under high pressure. Could see a dusting of snow for lakeshore areas tonight as winds turn onshore in the east, which may bring a little lake effect snow inland. DDV && .MARINE... Issued 324 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Breezy northerly winds are expected today between weakening low pressure passing by well to the south and high pressure around 30.5 inches building in from the west. Winds will become lighter tonight under the high. Winds will then shift to the south by Monday afternoon, as the high heads eastward ahead of an approaching low. The low around 29.7 inches will track from Minnesota to Sault Ste. Marie Monday night through Tuesday morning. A period of southerly gales up to 35 knots is looking more likely during this time, with gusts up to 40 knots possible over far northern Lake Michigan. The next low around 29.1 inches will track across central Wisconsin Tuesday night and reach southern Ontario by midday Wednesday. Gales are possible for the south half of the lake during this time.

Cold today, warm for Tuesday, then cold again late week. - Low chances for light snow later in the week, but overall a dry pattern continues. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 321 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Broad troughing remains in place across the CONUS, with a low- amplitude shortwave over the lower Midwest. Surface observations show low pressure now over Missouri moving quickly east. Northerly winds have picked up behind the cold front, strengthening CAA across the region. Coupled with extensive low stratus, today will be much colder than the past couple days. Afternoon highs will struggle to reach freezing in most spots. Can't completely rule out an afternoon flurry over north-central KS with a weak vort-max passing through, but almost all short- term guidance shows things staying completely dry. Still looking at a nice warmup for the first couple days of the work week, as shortwave ridging briefly builds in aloft. Sunshine and a return of southerly flow will help highs rebound into the 40s for Monday, while a surge of warm westerly low-level flow will boost highs into the 50s for Tuesday. For most this will be our first day in the 50s in two weeks. The warmth will not last though, as a train of stronger Alberta Clipper-type systems dropping out of western Canada help to deepen the eastern CONUS trough. There still remains a good deal of variability in how the overall pattern evolves, but overall some things are coming into better agreement. The first system looks to deliver a shot of cooler air for Wednesday, but the core of the cold stays far enough northeast that we don't drop too much below average. Thursday looks to have a sharp baroclinic zone nearby, so temperatures could be in the 50s, or potentially in the 30s. By Friday though, there is better agreement in stronger high pressure dropping south out of Canada, bringing a much colder airmass to the area. So increasing confidence in another cold shot with highs around or below freezing for the end of the week. The overall pattern remains unfavorable for much in the way of precipitation, with the predominant clipper track staying to our north. However still can't rule out a few opportunities for brief/light precipitation (mainly in the form of snow) with any weak wave that takes a more southerly track. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1124 PM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 Low pressure center is moving almost directly across the area, so winds will continue to quickly switch to the northwest over the next few hours, with some gusts to around 20 kts behind the frontal passage. While MVFR ceilings at KTOP/KFOE have recently cleared, more MVFR to at times IFR ceilings are approaching from the north behind the front. These will arrive at the main TAF sites in another couple hours. Expecting borderline MVFR/IFR ceilings to persist for much of the period, though may begin to scatter out by Sunday evening. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Issued at 421 AM EST Sun Dec 7 2025 Snow was just reaching the area west of Highway 31 early this morning at 4 AM EST. Upstream visibilities were generally 3/4SM to 2SM with locally 1/4SM +SN over the northern 1/3rd of IL. Given the latest surface observations, INDOT data, radar indications, observed snowfall amounts upstream, model forecast and the latest trends, made a couple of generally minor updates to the forecast including slightly higher snowfall amounts and a slightly more northern track. The heaviest snow amounts will fall north of Highway 30 and west of Highway 31. Northern Laporte is expected to receive around 4 inches of snow. Lighter amounts are expected east and south of this area. Have handled this system with a Special Weather Statement. Otherwise, much colder air will spread back into the area behind the snow. Winds should remain under 10 mph through Monday with wind chills falling below zero tonight and around zero Monday night. Temperatures should recover above freezing Tuesday and Wednesday before another surge of cold air brings wind chills as low as -15F Friday and Saturday nights . Chances for light snow will continue through the end of the week. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1252 AM EST Sun Dec 7 2025 Initially MVFR conditions will deteriorate to IFR/LIFR overnight into Sunday as a weak clipper system moves through our area/south of our area. This low will drift eastward and weaken through Sunday. A stationary front that extends from Lake Erie into southern Lake MI/IL/IA has brought us predominantly MVFR ceilings and a few areas of BR reported, with generally light/variable winds (with the exception of KSBN which is southwest at around 8kts). The low is currently situated over MO with warm air advection/isentropic ascent leading to areas of mainly light to moderate snow in SW WI/NW IL/IA (sparse heavy snow reports and couple of mixed precip reports near the deformation zone on north/west side). Ceilings/visibility will drop as snow moves in first at KSBN sometime between 6-9z before progressing to KFWA closer to 10-12z. For now have the lower visibilities at KSBN given the system is stronger initially and the deformation zone will be over the terminal, dropping to around 3/4SM between 10-14z. Ceilings may drop below 600 ft, but confidence is not high enough to include at this point. KFWA still have ceilings dropping to around 500ft 12-15z, with visibility around 1SM as the def. band moves through-but most models suggest it weakens. I suspect we could see a period of visibility less than 1SM but will wait until next issuance to provide greater details based on radar/ob trends. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None.
