WILL STAY WITH THE GFS/SREF AXIS FOR NOW. IN
THIS CASE...THIS WOULD PLACE THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS GENERALLY ALONG AND
SOUTH/EAST OF A SPARTA WI TO NEW HAMPTON IA LINE. AS MENTIONED...IT
LOOKS LIKE A HIGH TOTAL/LOW QPF EVENT...AND 6 OR MORE INCHES
CERTAINLY LOOKS REASONABLE FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE AFOREMENTIONED EAST AND SOUTH...........

...................BOTH THE GFS AND NAM INDICATE A TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SYSTEM...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
WINDY/GUSTY CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. CONSIDERABLE
BLOWING/BLOWING SNOW COULD RESULT...AS THE EXPECTED SEVERAL INCHES
OF FLUFFY SNOW SHOULD BE EASY TO LIFT AND MOVE AROUND. IN
ADDITION...COLD AIR WILL BE SINKING ACROSS THE REGION BY THIS
TIME...WITH FRI NIGHT LOWS BELOW ZERO. WIND CHILLS OF 20 TO 30 BELOW
COULD RESULT FOR FRI NIGHT/SAT MORNING...AND A WIND CHILL ADV MAY BE
NEEDED AS A RESULT...OR POTENTIAL A WINTER WEATHER ADV TO COVER BOTH
THE BLOWING/DRIFTING THREAT AND WIND CHILL. BLIZZARD WARNINGS CAN/T
BE RULED OUT EITHER...
