MD 2233 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO NORTHERN WISCONSIN
Mesoscale Discussion 2233 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0532 PM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Areas affected...Central Minnesota into northern Wisconsin Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 252332Z - 260530Z SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall with rates upwards of 1-2 inches/hour will spread east/northeast across central Minnesota into northern Wisconsin through the evening hours. Additionally, strong winds will continue to support areas of blizzard conditions, especially in open country and under heavier snow bands. DISCUSSION...Latest radar mosaics and surface observations show an intense cyclone over the Twin Cities area. Aloft, ascent associated with a narrow, but strong, zone of warm advection between 850-700 mb is overlapping with lift within the left-exit region of a 500 mb jet, which is supporting a broad swath of moderate to heavy snowfall rates from the Sisseton hills in northeast SD into west-central MN. These ascent mechanisms will continue to be favorably phased over the next several hours, and will support 1-2 inch/hour snowfall rates across central MN to northern WI and parts of the Upper Peninsula as the cyclone and surface freezing line shift east. Given the focused corridor of mesoscale ascent, snow banding will be possible and may support locally higher snowfall rates in excess of 2 inches/hour. In addition to the potential for heavy snowfall rates, 25-35 mph surface winds on the backside of the surface low are supporting areas of blizzard conditions with visibility below 1/4 mile recently noted on several web cams across western MN. Although temperatures will remain relatively warm (30-32 F), the combination of strong winds and moderate/heavy snowfall rates will continue to promote areas of blizzard conditions, especially across open country and under any heavier snow bands that develop. ..Moore.. 11/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

An upper-level short wave trough is likely to track from the northern Rockies into the central US before strengthening over the Midwest/Great Lakes this weekend. Deeper upper-level troughing is likely to develop over the West this weekend and early next week, but forecast uncertainty remains regarding the location and magnitude of this troughing. ...Day 3/Thursday - Day 4/Friday: Portions of the Southeast... Dry/breezy post-frontal conditions are likely along/east of the Piedmont and into southern Georgia and north Florida Day 3/Thursday. RH is expected to dip below elevated/critical criteria across these areas with 8-15 mph northwest-northerly winds overlapping. RH will likely be lower on Day 4/Friday in portions of southern/central Georgia into central/north Florida and possibly portions of South Carolina. Mitigating factors will be cooler temperatures, especially at higher elevations and farther north, and the potential for rainfall today/tomorrow. Locally elevated conditions are likely with portions of southern Georgia and north Florida currently favored, but given the forecast uncertainty, probabilities of critical fire weather conditions were not introduced. ...Day 5/Saturday: Southwest Texas... Dry/breezy conditions are likely in portions of southwest Texas Day 5/Saturday ahead of an approaching cold front. However, given the forecast uncertainty with track of the upper-level shortwave trough, frontal timing, and the overlap of critical winds/RH coincident with receptive fuels, probabilities were not introduced. ..Nauslar.. 11/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 2230 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1049 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Areas affected...Northeast South Dakota...southeast North Dakota...west-central Minnesota Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 251649Z - 252145Z SUMMARY...Potential for moderate to heavy (around 1 inch per hour rates) snowfall is expected to increase through the afternoon as the upper trough intensifies and the surface low deepens in the Upper Midwest. DISCUSSION...An amplifying trough is evident on water vapor imagery in the northern Plains. As this features continues into the Upper Midwest, a surface low now analyzed in eastern South Dakota should deepen and generally shift eastward. Ascent from low to mid levels will promote a region of heavier precipitation. Recent observations from northeast South Dakota showed heavy snow occurring. Temperatures farther east are currently above freezing, but between low-level cold air advection and diabatic cooling within the heavier precipitation bands, moderate to occasionally heavy snowfall rates (around 1 inch per hour) are probable into the mid/late afternoon. ..Wendt.. 11/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0129 PM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated thunderstorms are possible across southeast Florida on Thursday. Severe storms are not expected. ...Synopsis... An upper low over the northeastern US and southern Canada will further amplify Thursday as ridging builds to the west ahead of a weaker shortwave trough over the Pacific. Broad and strong cyclonic flow aloft will overspread the eastern half of the US extending northwestward over the northern Rockies. At the surface, a strong low will occlude over eastern Canada while a cold front moves offshore over the east coast. In the wake of the front, high pressure will intensify as it moves southward into the central US. With surface high pressure and offshore flow expected in the wake of the departing cold front, thunderstorm potential over the US will be limited to far southern FL. Here, isolated thunderstorms are possible ahead of the front Thursday afternoon. However, weak lapse rates and buoyancy should limit the severe threat. Occasional lightning is also possible over portions the eastern Great Lakes owing to warm water temps and cold air advection behind the upper low Thursday and Thursday evening. But, with cold thermodynamic profiles only modest supportive of mixed-phase precipitation, any lightning flashes should be sporadic and tied to deeper and more persistent lake-effect bands. ..Lyons.. 11/25/2025 Read more

A weakening midlevel trough will continue to eject east-northeastward from the TN Valley to the Appalachians, in advance of an amplifying trough from the northern Plains to the upper MS Valley. An associated/weak surface cold front will move southeastward across LA/MS/AL, though the majority of the convective threat today will be focused along a residual outflow boundary from east central MS into central AL. Low-level recovery into northeast AL/northwest GA will depend on some clearing of clouds/rain, which is uncertain. Along and south of this boundary, that is being loosely reinforced by ongoing convection, warming surface temperatures into the 70s with mid-upper 60s dewpoints will contribute to MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg. Forcing for ascent will linger into the afternoon and support additional thunderstorm development, and there will be sufficient deep-layer vertical shear for a couple of supercells. Low-level shear/hodograph curvature will be greatest along the residual outflow (per the BMX VWP) through the afternoon, and then low-level flow will weaken by this evening.

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1128 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms are unlikely Wednesday or Wednesday night. ...Southeast... A shortwave trough over the southeastern US will move eastward quickly as a second, more intense perturbation, deepens and expands from the southern Great Lakes into the upper Ohio Valley. As the secondary shortwave intensifies, broad and strong southwesterly flow aloft will envelop much of the eastern US, as ridging builds over the West. While the upper-level system matures, a surface low should also deepen, moving from the western Great Lakes into southern Canada by 00z Thursday. A cold front associated with the low will sweep east/southeastward across the Southeast before moving offshore early Thursday. Showers and a few thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing ahead of the front early Wednesday associated with the prior day's convective cycle. The impact of these storms on the increasingly narrow warm sector is uncertain, but may tend to limit destabilization in their wake. Some heating of a remnant moist (60s F dewpoints) air mass could support weak buoyancy and redevelopment of a few thunderstorms in the afternoon, mostly likely from southern GA and southwestern SC into northern FL. However, weak buoyancy and poor mid-level lapse rates south of the primary ascent tied to the upper trough should limit the severe threat. The cold front will then move offshore Wednesday evening into early Thursday, ushering in cooler and drier conditions. ...Eastern Great Lakes into the Northeast/mid Atlantic Coasts... Closer to the cold core of the upper trough, isolated low-topped convection is possible along the cold front Wednesday afternoon. However, surface moisture and resulting buoyancy will be quite limited. This suggests only sporadic potential for lightning. Still, strong flow aloft (1-3km AGL 40-50 kt) could support a stray convectively augmented wind gust near the coast and in the lee of lakes Erie/Ontario, where weak elevated buoyancy will be present. ..Lyons.. 11/25/2025 Read more

Strong, 20-30 mph northwesterly winds will overspread much of the central and southern Plains through late afternoon as an attendant cold front pushes southeast. Despite the strong winds, an influx of cold air will limit RH reductions to 35-50% over the windiest areas.

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0301 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Valid 281200Z - 031200Z ...DISCUSSION...

By Friday night, return flow across Texas will strengthen as a 40 to 50 knot low-level jet develops. This may result in some weak elevated thunderstorms late Friday night and early Saturday. ...D5/Sat to D8/Tue...

Therefore, broad severe weather potential exists Saturday to Tuesday, but more specific timing or intensity information is not available at his time due to the large uncertainties. Read more
