   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0425 AM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026

   Areas affected...Parts of eastern WI and Upper MI

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 160925Z - 161430Z

   SUMMARY...A swath of heavy snow with rates around 1 inch per hour
   are expected through the morning hours.

   DISCUSSION...Mosaic radar and satellite imagery show an increasingly
   defined deformation zone and inferred strong ascent evolving in a
   north-south corridor extending from parts of Upper MI across eastern
   WI. Here, the GRB 06Z sounding sampled a cold and deeply saturated
   profile, which combined with the strong ascent, will promote heavy
   snowfall rates of 1 to locally 2 inches per hour through the morning
   hours. Additionally, strong surface winds may lead to areas of
   blowing snow and reduced visibility.
