AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
338 PM EST TUE NOV 8 2011

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/

UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY OVER NEW MEXICO WILL QUICKLY BEGIN TO
EJECT TOWARDS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AREA
OF INCREASING ASCENT NOTED FROM CNTRL LWR MI SW INTO MISSOURI AND
ARKANSAS. AREA OF SHOWERS WAS SLOWLY EXPANDING FROM SW ILLINOIS SW
INTO MISSOURI WHERE BEST FORCING AND PRESSURE DROPS WERE OCCURRING.
MODELS AGREE ON THIS EXPANDING WITH TIME...WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
AND STORMS MOVING NE FORM CURRENT ACTIVITY BACK TOWARDS THE UPPER
LOW ITSELF. SFC TEMPS ACROSS THE FA VARY GREATLY WITH CLOUD COVER
AND POSITION OF FRONT RANGING FROM UPPER 50S ALONG THE LAKE TO NEAR
70S IN FAR S AND E. WARMER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO MAINLY SE
AREAS INTO THIS EVENING.

IN TERMS OF POPS HAVE INCREASED AND RE-ORIENTED POPS THIS EVENING
BASED ON UPSTREAM TRENDS. MAY NOT BE AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH BUT HOPEFULLY
HANDLING SITUATION BETTER. HAVE KEPT LATER TONIGHT INTO WEDS
UNTOUCHED WITH MAIN WINDOW OF ANY OPPORTUNITY IN THE 9Z TO 15Z WEDS
TIME FRAME. SFC LOW WILL TRACK TO THE NW OF THE AREA...KEEPING
DEFORMATION ZONE AND STEADIER PRECIP ACROSS ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN.
COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE
DAY...QUICKLY ENDING ANY HEAVIER PRECIP. DID ALSO MAINTAIN LOW
THUNDER PROBS GIVEN DEWPTS INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S AND
SUFFICIENT DYNAMICS MOVING IN SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR ISOLATED
ACTIVITY. TEMPS WILL BE VERY WARM FOR EARLY NOVEMBER TONIGHT WITH
READINGS IN THE 50S. LITTLE OVERALL INCREASE FOR MANY AREAS ON WEDS
WITH COLDER AIR ARRIVING BY AFTERNOON.

DEFORMATION ZONE WILL GIVEN NORTHERN AREAS A GLANCING BLOW AS WILL
INCREASING DELTA T INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE TEENS TO PROVIDE A SHOT
FOR LIGHT SHOWERS. PROFILES SUGGEST A MIX OF RAIN OR SNOW COULD
OCCUR BUT THINK LACK OF DEEPER MSTR AND BEST DYNAMICS LIFTING MAY
PRECLUDE MUCH HAPPENING.

LAST THING TO NOTE WILL BE INCREASING WINDS AS PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND AGAIN WEDS AFTERNOON INTO
EVENING. SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE SHOULD BECOME
PREVALENT WITH GUSTS TO 35 TO 40 MPH...SHY OF ADVISORY CRITERIA.
COULD BE A CLOSE CALL NEAR THE LAKE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...BUT
WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY HEADLINES.

&&

.LONG TERM...

LONGWAVE PATTERN IN THE EXTENDED SHOWS AMPLIFICATION OF THE TROF
OVER THE PACIFIC. THIS ALLOWS A FAVORABLE PATTERN FOR THE EJECTION
OF SHORTWAVES AND FAST WESTERLY FLOW INTO WESTERN NOAM BEGINNING
FRIDAY THROUGH WEEKEND. WHILE THERE ARE DISTINCT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE EXTENDED MODEL RUNS... THE GENERAL TREND AND ENSEMBLES SUGGEST
BROAD TROF FORMATION ALONG THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES IN RESPONSE TO
THESE SYSTEMS DIVING INTO THE PLAINS.  THIS PATTERN WOULD FAVOR
ANOTHER SURGE OF COLDER AIR INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

SURFACE-BASED CYCLOGENESIS WILL PUT MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WAA LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. THE
WARMUP WILL LAST INTO MONDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER FRONTAL EXPECTED TO
PUSH INTO THE REGION LATE MONDAY/TUESDAY. THIS LOOKS TO BE SIMILAR
TO THIS PAST SYSTEM AND EXPECT TO SEE INCREASING THREAT OF SHOWERS
DURING THE LATTER PART OF SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IN THE EARLY PART OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD...TEMPERATURES START NEAR NORMAL...WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL BY
THIS COMING WEEKEND.  COULD BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL IN THE WARM SECTOR
SUNDAY/MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
CHANGES MADE TO TAFS...MAINLY IN NEAR TERM...TO REDUCE RISK OF
PRECIP AT KSBN. OVERALL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF ACTIVITY HAS
DIMINISHED SO HAVE REMOVED TEMPO GROUP AND OPTED FOR VCNTY MENTION
FOR A FEW HOURS. UPSTREAM RADAR DATA SUGGESTS THERE WILL BE A LULL
IN ACTIVITY WITH SKIES POSSIBLE CLEARING SOMEWHAT PRIOR TO ARRIVAL
OF LOW PRESSURE LATER TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BEGUN TO GUST MORE BY
MID AFTERNOON AS LIMITED MIXING ALLOWS FOR INCREASING WIND FIELDS
TO COME TO SFC. SHOWERS LOOK TO BEGIN TO BREAK OUT LATER TONIGHT
ACROSS KSBN AND DURING THE DAY WEDS FOR KFWA. EXACT TIMING AND
COVERAGE STILL SOMEWHAT QUESTIONABLE BUT HAVE WENT WITH
UNRESTRICTED VSBY AT BOTH SITES WITH LOWERING CIGS INTO MVFR
RANGE.

LLWS THRESHOLDS MAY BE MET LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDS AT BOTH
SITES AS LL JET CONTINUES TO RAMP UP. HAVE LEFT OUT FOR NOW WITH
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS REDUCING RISK
OF LLWS.
