DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 109 PM CST SAT JAN 25 2025
..SYNOPSIS
SYNOPTICALLY SPEAKING, NOT MUCH IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE THROUGH
THE WORK WEEK. NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL INTENSIFY INTO A PRETTY
STRONG JET ACROSS MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION OF THE UNITED
STATES. THIS LEAVES US ON THE PERIPHERY OF PERIODIC SHORTWAVES
WITH LIGHT SNOW CHANCES BUT MAINLY WILL SEE US WARM UP
DRAMATICALLY THROUGH THE WEEK. WITH THE INCREASING TEMPERATURES
TO NEAR OR ABOVE FREEZING, FOG AND STRATUS WILL LIKELY BECOME AN
ISSUE THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE WARMING
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE DAY AND POTENTIAL REFREEZE OVERNIGHT,
BLOW ICE COULD BECOME A CONCERN.
..BLOWING SNOW TODAY
GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE CREATED ONGOING BLOWING SNOW
HCRS WITH PERIODIC FALLING SNOW EMBEDDED WITHIN. VISIBILITIES
HAVE IMPROVED THROUGH THE MORNING AND PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
925MB WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED FOR THE MOST PART. FOR THE MOST
PART, THESE HCRS ARE MORE CONDENSED ON THE MINNESOTA SIDE. THE
NORTH DAKOTA SIDE HAS SEEN SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN
VISIBILITY AND FOR THAT REASON HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY. WITH THE MORE ORGANIZATION OF HCRS ON THE
MINNESOTA SIDE, THE ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXPANDED DOWN VALLEY AND
WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 6 PM WHEN SUSTAINED WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO
BELOW 15 KNOTS, THEREBY IMPROVING CONDITIONS.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
