AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
135 AM EDT FRI OCT 21 2011

.AVIATION...
COMBINATION OF LL MSTR FROM DEPARTING SYSTEM AND CONTRIBUTION OF CYCLONIC
FLOW OFF THE GREAT LAKES CONTINUES TO ALLOW FOR MVFR CIGS AT BOTH
TAF SITES. UPSTREAM OBS AND SATELLITE TRENDS SUGGEST CLEARING
COULD ARRIVE SOONER THAN LATER DURING FRIDAY MORNING. HOWEVER MAIN
850 MB RIDGE AXIS WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL LATER THIS AFTERNOON WHICH
MAY DELAY FULL CLEARING AS NW FLOW PERSISTS THROUGH LATE MORNING
THEN SLOWLY WANING. HAVE CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT TO VFR CIGS PRIOR
TO 18Z FRI BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF A FEW TWEAKS ARE NEEDED
WITH 12Z TAFS. OTHERWISE MODELS AGREE ON LL MSTR RAPIDLY DEPARTING
THE AREA BY OR SHORTLY AFTER 00Z SAT WITH VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 805 PM EDT THU OCT 20 2011/

UPDATE...
THE COMBINATION OF SYNOPTIC FORCING WITH A WEAK EMBEDDED SHORT
WAVE PROGRESSING THROUGH THE BACK SIDE OF THE EXITING UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM...AND LAKE EFFECT/LAKE ENHANCEMENT HAS RESULTED IN SHOWERS
PERSISTING ACROSS APPROX NERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING. LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS RATHER MEAGER AND UNIMPRESSIVE
WITH LAKE/850 HPA DELTA TEMPS ON THE ORDER OF 15 DEGREES WITH A
FAIRLY SHALLOW BASED INVERSION AND LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS
OF 5-6K FT. OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...FORCING SHOULD WANE WITH THE
AFOREMENTIONED SYNOPTIC SHORT WAVE SLIDING SOUTHEAST ACROSS
NORTHERN INDIANA...AND WOULD SUSPECT SHOULD SEE A MORE RAPID
DETERIORATION TO THE RAIN ONCE THIS FORCING EXITS GIVEN THESE
MARGINAL LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS. ONLY TWEAKS MADE TO THE EVENING
UPDATE WERE TO EXTEND HIGHER POPS A BIT LONGER INTO THE EARLY
EVENING AND TO CANCEL THE LAKESHORE FLOOD ADVISORY. ALL OTHER
FORECAST PARAMETERS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
WERE MADE.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 351 PM EDT THU OCT 20 2011/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT

KIWX RADAR SHOWING PRECIP FINALLY DIMINISHING AS SFC AND UPPER
LOW HAVE MOVED OFF TO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON.
GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION. POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF LAKE
EFFECT SHOWERS IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM OVERNIGHT DESPITE
MARGINAL DELTA T...WILL STILL HAVE GOOD NW FETCH AND 5KFT
INVERSION HEIGHTS AND PLENTY OF ADDL SYNOPTIC MOISTURE TO WORK
WITH. SFC RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EASTWARD TOWARD THE AREA ON FRIDAY
LEADING TO GRADUAL CLEARING SKIES. RIDGE AXIS OVERHEAD FRIDAY
NIGHT WILL PROVIDE IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING AND EXPECT TEMPS TO
DROP DOWN INTO THE MID 30S BRINGING PATCHY FROST TO MUCH OF THE
CWA.&&

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

ACTIVE NEARLY ZONAL NE PACIFIC/NW CONUS FLOW CAN BE EXPECTED EARLY
IN THE PERIOD...WITH SEVERAL LOWER AMPLITUDE MID LVL IMPULSES
PROGGED TO TRACK EWD INTO THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES...INTO A MEAN
EASTERN CONUS UPPER TROUGH. A MOISTURE STARVED LEAD SHORTWAVE WILL
TRACK THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES ON SATURDAY PROVIDING THE FA WITH
NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW HIGH CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY SOME HIGH BASED
DIURNAL CU. A 130KT PLUS EASTERN PACIFIC UPPER JET WILL MAKE ITS WAY
INLAND TOWARDS THE NRN PLAINS BY SUNDAY...SUPPORTING DOWNSTREAM
TROUGHING/HEIGHT FALLS. 12Z MODELS HAVE REMAINED RELATIVELY
CONSISTENT IN HIGHLIGHTING THE SUNDAY AFTN/EVE PERIOD FOR THE BEST
CHANCE FOR A LIGHT/MEASURABLE RAIN AS THE ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AND WEAK THETA-E ADV TRANSLATES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES.
STRONG FORCING BYPASSING TO THE NORTH / PER GFS/ECMWF Q-VECTOR AND
DYNAMIC TROPOPAUSE ANALYSIS / COMBINED WITH LIMITED MOISTURE
RETURN (DRY SFC-7H LAYER) SUPPORTS ONLY LOWER CHC POPS ATTM.
TRAILING CDFNT LOOKS TO SINK SOUTH/EAST OF THE FA BY MONDAY WITH
LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE/DRYING EXPECTED BEHIND SUNDAY'S SHORTWAVE.

12Z GUIDANCE CAME INTO A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT WITH
TIMING/AMPLITUDE OF THE NEXT AMPLIFYING/SHARPENING UPPER TROUGH TO
DIG INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE
OPERATIONAL GFS CAME IN SLOWER AND MORE SIMILAR TO THE GEFS AND
ECMWF. AS A RESULT FAVORED A MODEL BLEND FOR
TEMPS/POPS/ETC...RESULTING IN A CONTINUATION OF MID CHC POPS TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY GIVEN THE PROGGED WAA REGIME WITH A BAROCLINIC ZONE
SINKING SEWD DURING THIS TIME. POSITIVE PV ANOMALY DIGGING THROUGH
BASE OF THIS TROUGH COULD TRIGGER CYCLOGENESIS AND A DECENT MID LAT
CYCLONE SOMETIME BY THE MIDDLE TO LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK WHICH
COULD OFFER UP ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS.
