Today-Tuesday:
Despite the widespread radar returns, surface observations indicated
snow only reaching the ground within a narrow NW/SE oriented band of
higher returns early this morning. Any snow will quickly exit early
today. As low-level winds shift southeast behind the surface high, a
few snow showers/flurries may occur along Lake Michigan today, but
impacts look negligible.
As the flow aloft becomes more zonal, a series of shortwave troughs
will progress eastward along the US-Canadian border tonight through
Tuesday. The weaker of the waves moves through tonight. With
the broader synoptic lift only brushing northern Wisconsin, low-
level warm advection will be the primary source of lift with
HREF soundings showing fairly dry mid-levels, so precip chances
are quite low (
