AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
123 AM EST THU FEB 12 2009

.AVIATION...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS LIFTING NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA. PCPN
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW HAD MOVED NORTHEAST OF THE SBN AND FWA
TERMINALS...WITH ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN OR SNOW EXPECTED TO REMAIN
NORTH OF THE AREA. MVFR CIGS SHOULD CLEAR LATER IN THE DAY AS
SUBSIDENCE INCREASES. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH AS THE GRADIENT
SLACKENS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 900 PM EST WED FEB 11 2009/

UPDATE...

EVENING UPDATE TO TIME EXIT OF PRECIP...WHICH SHOULD HAPPEN AROUND
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. HAVE ALSO MENTIONED PRECIP MIXING WITH SNOW
BEFORE ENDING AS SNOW IS ALREADY MIXING IN WITH THE RAIN HERE IN
SYRACUSE...AND HAVE MORE REPORTS OF SN UP TOWARDS BERRIEN COUNTY.

HIGH WIND WARNING ON TARGET WITH MULTIPLE 60 MPH REPORTS COMING IN
THIS EVENING. 6HR RISE/FALL COUPLET OF 30 MB HAS ENOUGH OF A
COMPONENT PARALLEL TO THE LLEVEL WIND FLOW TO COMBINE WITH GOOD
LLEVEL COLD ADVECTION TO BRING STRONG WINDS TO THE SURFACE.
STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED BETWEEN NOW AND 6Z AFTER WHICH THEY
WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE AS THE SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES AND
LLEVEL COLD ADVECTION WEAKENS.

TEMPS LOOK ON TRACK AND HAVE ONLY UPDATED THE TREND BASED ON
EVENING OBS.

UPDATED GRIDS/PRODUCTS ARE OUT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 227 PM EST WED FEB 11 2009/

SHORT TERM...
SFC LOW OVER EAST CENTRAL IL AT 18Z WITH STLT INDICATING UPR
CIRCULATION OVER SE MO. TSTMS WERE OCCURRING ALONG THE TRAILING
CDFNT SW FROM THE SFC LOW TO NR STL, WHILE A BAND OF CONVECTION
ALONG THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH EXTENDED FROM SRN INDIANA ACROSS
CENTRAL KY/TN. WHILE THIS BAND IS LIFTING NE AND MAY BRUSH THE SE
PORTION OF CWA LATE THIS AFTN. LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE RAPIDLY NE
TO SRN ONTARIO BY 06Z WITH TRAILING CDFNT SWEEPING ACROSS THE AREA
THIS EVENING. STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD LIFT NE
ALONG/AHEAD OF UPPER LOW THIS EVE SO WILL EXTEND CHC OF TSTMS
ACROSS THE AREA UNTIL AROUND FROPA. GIVEN STRONG WIND FIELDS AND
COOLING TEMPS ALOFT, RISK OF SVR STORMS WILL ALSO CONT UNITL THAT
TIME. WIDESPREAD RAIN HAS INHIBITED MIXING DOWN OF STRONG WINDS
ALOFT SO FAR TODAY, HWVR WIND GUSTS >40KT IN SMALL DRY SLOT OVER
SERN IL SHOULD WORK ITS WAY INTO SRN PORTION OF THE CWA LATE LATE
THIS AFTN AND EARLY EVE, SO WILL MAINTAIN HIGH WIND WARNING IN
EFFECT FOR SE 2/3 OF CWA FOR LATE THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT. AS
INTENSIFYING LOW MOVES NE OF THE AREA TONIGHT, WINDS WILL VEER
W-NW AND STRENGTHEN AS ISALLOBARIC BULLSEYE SWEEPS ACROSS THE
AREA. BUFKIT STILL INDICATING STRONG LOW LEVEL SUBSIDENCE/MIXING
WILL ALLOW WIND GUSTS TO >50KT, SO HIGH WIND WARNING MAINTAINED
FOR TONIGHT. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND
THE LOW TONIGHT AND COMBINED WITH CAA MAY LEAD TO A SHORT PERIOD
OF SNOW. LITTLE ACCUM EXPECTED WITH BEST CHC OF LIGHT ACCUM ACROSS
MI COUNTIES WHERE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL DEPART LATEST.

WK SHRTWV OVER THE DAKS THIS AFTN WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA ON THU.
MOISTURE CONFINED TO LOW LEVELS BUT WITH H85 TEMPS FALLING TO -8 TO
-10C BY THAT TIME, THIS SHRTWV MAY PROVIDE SUFFICIENT FORCING FOR
SOME SNOW SHOWERS, SO WILL LEAVE MENTION IN FCST ACROSS NE PORTION
OF CWA. RIDGING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THU NIGHT PROVIDING FAIR
WX. WITH WINDS DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT AND LITTLE CLOUDINESS, PREFER
COOLER MET MOS FOR MINS.

LONG TERM...
FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

LA NINA INFLUENCED NEGATIVE PNA PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER
WESTERN CONUS/EASTERN PAC TROUGHING. SEVERAL DISTURBANCES EMANATING
FROM THIS TROUGH WILL EJECT OUT INTO THE PLAINS/MIDWEST/AND GREAT
LAKES...ALLOWING INCREASED PRECIP CHANCES INCLUDING ACCUMULATING
SNOW. FORECAST MODELS AND ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH FINE
SCALE TIMING/TRACK/AND STORM INTENSITY...BRINGING POOR RUN-RUN
CONTINUITY TO THE TABLE IN SOME AREAS. ONE THING THAT IS CERTAIN
IS THAT THE ACTIVE PATTERN WE ARE CURRENTLY IN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE PERIOD...WITH ABOUT A 2-3 DAY SYSTEM PERIODICITY. COMPLICATED
FLOW OVER THE NORTHERN PAC AS EVIDENCED IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL
PROVIDE AMPLE UPPER LEVEL MOMENTUM OVER THE BACKSIDE OF THE MID
LEVEL TROUGH IN PLACE OVER THE EASTERN PAC...VIA MERGING OF THESE
DISTURBANCES WITH THE WESTERN CONUS TROUGH. THE RESULTANT DIGGING
PROCESS WILL ALLOW SOMEWHAT STRONGER IMPULSES TO EVENTUALLY EJECT
EAST AND AFFECT THE LOCAL REGION. HAVE CONTINUED TO UTILIZE THE
ECMWF/SREF/NAEFS/GEFS. THE ECMWF/MEAN NAEFS AND GEFS HAVE BEEN VERY
WOBBLY WRT THE LATE PERIOD SYSTEM PROGGED TO EJECT OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST AND AFFECT THE EASTERN US...AS TRACK AND TIMING
DIFFERENCES ARE NOTED...BUT FEEL THE SIGNAL FOR A MID WEEK STORM IS
CERTAINLY STILL ON TRACK.

FRI THROUGH SAT...RATHER POTENT/COMPACT/PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL IMPULSE
WILL EJECT OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST CONUS TROUGH AND INTO THE PLAINS.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING INCREASED CLOUDS BY FRI EVE...WITH
INCREASED PRECIP CHANCES FRI NIGHT AND SAT. TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO WOBBLE IN ECMWF/GFS RUNS...WITH SREF/NAEFS/GEFS MEANS
OPTING FOR A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK. THE SOUTHERN TRACK WOULD TEND TO
SUPPORT ALL SNOW...BUT A NORTHERN TRACK AS IN THE ECMWF/AND 00Z/06Z
GFS WOULD SUPPORT SNOW AND RAIN CHANCES IN THE FAR
SOUTH...POTENTIALLY WITH SOME FREEZING RAIN. HAVE LEANED TO THE 12Z
GFS/09Z SREF AND NAEFS/GEFS MEANS FOR A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK AT THIS
TIME GIVEN THEIR COMBINED CONSENSUS. REGARDLESS OF TRACK...AMPLE
MOISTURE DOES LOOK PRESENT WITH THIS SYSTEM...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT
DECENT SNOW ACCUMS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES IN PART OF THE FA. THIS WILL
HAVE TO WATCHED GIVEN THAT SOME OF THE ISENTROPIC FIELDS ARE
INDICATING NEARLY 40 KNOTS OF UPGLIDE FLOW UNDER STEEP MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND ROBUST LARGE SCALE ASCENT. BEST PRECIP CHANCES
RESIDE AFTER MIDNIGHT FRI THROUGH SAT MORNING.

SUN THROUGH MON...THINGS DRY OUT AND COOL OFF WITH WEAK SFC RIDGING
INDICATED. HAVE BUMPED TEMPS DOWN THIS PERIOD...PREFERRING THE
COOLER SIDE OF GUIDANCE PER A PERIOD OF W/NW FLOW....AND POSSIBLE
SNOW COVER IN PLACE OFFERING GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING AT NIGHT.

TUE-WED...HAVE CONTINUED WITH LOW CHANCE POPS IN THIS PERIOD GIVEN
ENSEMBLE SIGNALS OF ANOTHER SW CONUS TROUGH EJECTION. EVEN THOUGH
CURRENT PROGS SUPPORT A TRACK NEAR THE GULF COAST...FEEL THIS IS TOO
FAR SOUTH A TRACK FOR THE GIVEN PATTERN. OPTED FOR RAIN-SNOW WORDING
AS THERMAL PROFILES ARE NOWHERE NEAR BEING RESOLVED. IN
ADDITION...HAVE KEPT TEMPS AROUND NORMAL GIVEN HIGH ENSEMBLE MEMBER
SPREAD AND LARGE UNCERTAINTY LOOMING WRT THERMAL PROFILES. PERIOD
DOES LOOK QUITE INTERESTING AS ANOTHER LARGE STORM SYSTEM IS LIKELY
TO AFFECT THE EASTERN CONUS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST OHIO...
NORTHERN INDIANA...SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN AND THE NEARSHORE WATERS
OF SOUTHEASTERN LAKE MICHIGAN.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND EARLY
TONIGHT OVER NORTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHWEST OHIO. THE MAIN HAZARD
IS DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 MPH...BUT ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE.

IN ADDITION TO STRONG WINDS FROM THUNDERSTORMS...DAMAGING WINDS
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE REGION DUE TO THE STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH
THE AREA...WITH VERY STRONG WINDS LIKELY AFTER A COLD FRONT PASSES
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CAUSE HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES...
ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. WIDESPREAD TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
1.50 TO 2.25 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY LATE TONIGHT NORTHWEST OF A LINE
FROM MARION TO HILLSDALE...WITH LESS AMOUNTS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF
THIS LINE. RUNOFF FROM THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN ATOP SATURATED SOILS
WILL LEAD TO AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING OF STREAMS AND LOW LYING
AREAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

RIVER FLOODING WILL CONTINUE OF NUMEROUS RIVERS. ICE FLOWS AND
POTENTIAL JAMS MAY EXACERBATE ANY FLOODING. LONGER TERM LAKE
STORAGE FLOODING COULD ALSO OCCUR BY NEXT WEEK.

THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY. IT REMAINS TOO EARLY FOR MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS WITH
RESPECT TO THIS SYSTEM...HOWEVER A HEAVY SNOWFALL EVENT DOES NOT
APPEAR LIKELY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT.
