    Mesoscale Discussion 0010
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0215 AM CST Mon Jan 07 2019

    Areas affected...Eastern part of the MN Arrowhead

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 070815Z - 071315Z

    SUMMARY...Snowfall rates are expected to increase overnight to 1-2
    inches per hour across northeast portions of the Minnesota Arrowhead
    region (the North Shore) from southern Lake to southern and eastern
    Cook Counties. These rates should develop by 3 AM and persist until
    around 7 AM, at which time heavier intensities should begin to
    decrease from the south.

    DISCUSSION...A mean trough will shift east from Plains states into
    this morning. Meanwhile, an embedded shortwave trough, currently
    located across the Dakotas into western NE per satellite imagery,
    should pivot toward the northeast, reaching north of the
    international border into northwest Ontario by 18Z. Models remain
    in good agreement suggesting a surface wind shift, which currently
    extended from eastern ND to western IA, will advance east across
    much of the discussion area by late morning. Strong forcing for
    ascent attendant to the Dakotas trough will maintain height falls to
    sustain the presence of a strong southerly low-level jet translating
    from west-east across the upper Great Lakes and northern Ontario.
    Surface observations indicated light to moderate snowfall ongoing
    across the MN Arrowhead. Strong warm advection along the low-level
    jet combined with an onshore upslope component to the surface winds
    will promote favorable conditions for increased snowfall rates, as
    deeper forcing for ascent with the shortwave trough spreads across
    the region. Given the progressiveness of this storm system, the
    strongest low-level warm advection along the 850-mb jet is expected
    to shift poleward away from the MN North Shore after 14-15Z,
    resulting in a subsequent decrease in snowfall rates.
