AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
429 AM EST WED NOV 19 2008

.SHORT TERM...
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NRN PLAINS WILL MOVE SE ACROSS THE GRTLKS
TODAY/TNGT. SYNOPTIC SCALE MOISTURE MEAGER ALONG/AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM... SO WAA PRECIP AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL STAY NORTH OF THE
CWA...HWVR... SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE FOR CONSIDERABLE
MID/HIGH CLOUDS UPSTREAM WHICH SHOULD CONT TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA
TODAY. BASED ON LIMITED SUNSHINE AND RATHER COOL START ESPECIALLY
OVER ERN PORTIONS OF CWA...CONTD WITH PREVIOUS FCST FOR HIGHS
WHICH ARE GENERALLY AT OR SLIGHTLY BLO COOLEST MOS FOR TODAY.

AS FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT SOME ADDITIONAL MOISTURE OFF
LAKE MICHIGAN MAY ALLOW FOR SCT SNOW SHOWERS TO DVLP... SO LEFT
GOING POPS IN TACT. STRONG CAA BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ALLOW LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP THU MORNING. AS USUAL IN THESE
SITUATIONS NAM IS CONSIDERABLY MORE MOIST IN LOW LEVELS THAN GFS.
GIVEN THE BETTER RESOLUTION OF THE NAM... EXPECT IT TO OUTPERFORM
THE GFS FOR THIS EVENT AND IT DOES APPEAR TO BE HANDLING THE LAKE
AGGREGATE TROUGHING BETTER DURING THIS PERIOD. THUS HAVE LEANED
TOWARD ITS SOLUTION WHICH CONTS TO SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS AS LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY INCREASES TO
>1000J/KG WITH WITH EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS >15KFT. MEAN LOW LEVEL WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE 320-340DEG THU-THU NGT AND WITH SUPPORT OF
925MB UVM FIELDS AND NAM QPF SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW
OVER BERRIEN/CASS IN SW MICHIGAN AND ST. JOE...NW ELKHART...AND NE
LAPORTE COUNTIES IN NRN INDIANA...THUS ISSUED A LAKE EFFECT SNOW
WATCH FOR THIS AREA BEGINNING THU MORNING AND CONTG INTO THE LONG
TERM PD.

&&

.LONG TERM...
FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...ANOTHER LAKE EVENT SNOW EVENT SHOULD BE
ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD. THE GFS AND NAM/WRF INDICATE
TEMPS WILL BE A LITTLE COLDER THAN THE LAST EVENT WITH DELTA T
VALUES REACHING 20 TO 25. IT LOOKS LIKE THE KEY FACTOR IN LAKE
EFFECT SNOW POTENTIAL FRIDAY WILL BE THE FETCH OVER THE LAKE. EXPECT
300 TO 310 DEGREES SO FETCH WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW
BUT NOT OPTIMAL. VERY DRY AIR WILL BE SPREADING OVER THE LAKE FROM
WISCONSIN WITH LITTLE IF ANY PRECONDITIONING...SO THESE SHOULD LIMIT
HIGH END SNOW AMOUNTS. ALSO...WINDS WILL START BACKING DURING THE
DAY IN THE LOWER LEVELS WITH THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT SYSTEM...SO
ACTIVITY SHOULD BE WEAKENING ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. GIVEN
THE ABOVE...WENT WITH BASICALLY 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW FROM BERRIEN
COUNTY SOUTHEAST INTO CASS AND ELKHART FRIDAY. OTHER THAN FLURRIES
FRIDAY EVENING...KEPT THE FORECAST DRY THROUGH NOON SUNDAY.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT DO NOT LOOK IMPRESSIVE
GIVEN MORE OF A DRY SLOT TRACK OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND LIMITED
MOISTURE RETURN. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE FINALLY COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH EACH OTHER IN THE HANDLING OF THIS SYSTEM. HOWEVER
FAVOR THE COLDER GFS GIVEN RECENT TRENDS AND THE LATEST ANALOG
SIGNALS SHOWING A VERY LARGE NEGATIVE HEIGHT ANOMALY OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. AS A RESULT...KEPT A CHANCE FOR MAINLY LAKE EFFECT SNOW
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
