AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
708 AM EST WED DEC 12 2007

.AVIATION...
SUBSIDENCE/DRYING IN WAKE OF SHRTWV MOVG THROUGH LWR GRTLKS
EXPECTED TO RESULT IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THIS PERIOD, THOUGH
LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CAUSE SOME MVFR CIGS EARLY THIS
MORNING. SHRTWV MOVG E-NE FROM SWRN U.S. IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE SNOW
TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA LATE TONIGHT LOWERING CIGS/VSBYS AT LEAST
TO MVFR AND PSBLY TO IFR.

&&

.UPDATE...
LARGE RAIN SHIELD HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA AND PATCHY LIGHT
RAIN/SNOW TO OUR WEST EARLIER HAS DIMINISHED. THUS, UPDATED TO
REMOVE ALL MENTION OF PRECIP FROM THE FCST FOR TODAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 409 AM EST WED DEC 12 2007/

SHORT TERM...
SPLIT FLOW CONTINUING OVER N.A. THIS MORNING. NRN STREAM SHRTWV
MOVG THROUGH THE GRTLKS AND CWA EARLY THIS MORNING WITH BEST LIFT
ASSOCIATED WITH IT PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST AND SUBSIDENCE
OVERSPREADING THE AREA. TEMPS GENERALLY STILL ABOVE FREEZING
ACROSS THE CWA. FCST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST WELL MIXED LOW LEVELS WILL
ALLOW TEMPS ONLY TO DROP TO AROUND FREEZING BY DAYBREAK. WITH
PRECIP TRANSITIONING TO JUST A SCT SHOWERS IN PRE-DAWN HOURS...
THREAT FOR ICY CONDITIONS TOO LOW TO CONT WINTER WX ADVISORY AND
HAVE CANCELED.

SUBSIDENCE, DRIER AIR, HIGH PRESSURE MOVG INTO THE AREA SHOULD
ALLOW FOR SOME SUNSHINE AT LEAST ACROSS NRN PORTION OF CWA TODAY. SOUTHERN
PORTION MAY STAY SOCKED IN WITH LOW CLOUDS TRAPPED BENEATH
SUBSIDENCE INVERSION AS SFC RIDGE MOVES EAST ACROSS THE SRN GRTLKS.

MODELS CONT TO SUGGEST SWRN U.S. TROF WILL GET KICKED E-NE TO THE
MS VALLEY/GRTLKS TONIGHT AS FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL IN RESPONSE TO
STRONG NRN STREAM SHRTWV BREAKING DOWN WEST COAST RIDGE AS IT
MOVES EAST ACROSS PAC NW AND INTO THE NRN PLAINS. NAM/GFS STILL HAVE
CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES HANDLING STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM. GFS HAS
BEEN MORE CONSISTENT AND NAM APPEARS TO BE TRENDING STRONGER WITH
H5 TROF/VORT LOBE, SO HAVE CONTD TO LEAN TOWARD THE GFS SOLUTION AND
KEPT LIKELY POPS OVER SERN PORTION OF CWA, HWVR, NOT TOTALLY SOLD
ON GFS STRONG MID LEVEL ISENT LIFT/MOISTURE RETURN (4G/KG H7
MIXING RATIO) SINCE TROF REMAINS POSITIVELY TILTED WITHOUT SGFNT
LOW LEVEL RESPONSE, SO WENT CLOSER TO SREF FOR QPF AMOUNTS. ALSO
GFS/NAM AGREE THAT FREEZING LEVELS MAY BE TOO HIGH TO SUPPORT
FROZEN PRECIP OVER CENTRAL INDIANA SO INTRODUCED RAIN INTO THE MIX
OVER FAR SRN COUNTIES.

LONG TERM...
THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

THURSDAY....OTHER THAN A MINOR TRIM OF THE WESTWARD EXTENT OF THE
LIKELY POPS...HAVE KEPT FORECAST STATUS QUO FOR NOW...BLENDING WITH
SHORT TERM GRIDS. WITH MAJORITY OF MODELS STILL SHOWING TRACK
FURTHER SE NOT SURE HOW MUCH WE WILL END UP WITH PRECIP WISE SO
HAVE ALSO BACK OFF SLIGHTLY ON QPF/SNOW THURS NGT 925 MB RH PLUME
GRAPHICS SHOW CHANCE FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOWFALL BUT FETCH AND
AMOUNT OF DYNAMICS LOOK TO LIMIT POTENTIAL FOR THE NW COUNTIES.
GRIDS CURRENTLY DRY AND WILL MAINTAIN THIS. FRIDAY THE FLOW BECOMES
MORE NW AND WEST AND FOR A BRIEF WINDOW OMEGA INCREASES MAINLY IN
THE AFTERNOON AND FOR OUR MI COUNTIES. PREVIOUS FORECAST HAS A
HANDLE ON THIS ALREADY SO NO CHANGE. AS THE FLOW BEGINS TO TURN MORE
NORTHERLY AND NE...LAKE EFFECT POTENTIAL WILL HEAD MORE FOR THE KLOT
AREA. WILL TRIM POPS BACK FOR FRI NGT TO REFLECT THIS TREND.

THIS NE FLOW WILL BE IN RESPONSE TO WHAT LOOKS TO BE A STRONG AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE TO TAKE SHAPE...LIKELY THE FIRST NOR-EASTER OF THE
SEASON. BULK OF THE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN WELL EAST OF THE AREA...BUT
MODELS DEPICT AN INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING BACK INTO AT LEAST THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES. CURRENT GRIDS HAVE CHC POPS IN FOR SAT/SAT NGT
TIME FRAME WITH HIGHEST POPS GENERALLY EAST OR SE. WILL STICK WITH
THIS AT THE MOMENT WITH NO CHANGES TO PRECIP TYPE AS TRACK OF THE
STORM WILL PLAY KEY PART IN THERMAL PROFILES AND POTENTIAL FOR
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL. BY SUNDAY MAIN EFFECTS OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD
BE GONE WITH DRIER CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL. WEAK SYSTEM DROPS THROUGH
THE FLOW WITH A QUICK SHOT OF LIFT AND LIMITED MSTR. WILL MAINTAIN
LOW POPS IN GRIDS FOR MON.
