AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
311 PM EST MON NOV 28 2011

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/

...HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA FOLLOWED BY
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL...

DIFFICULT FORECAST IN STORE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS AS DEEP UPPER LOW
CURRENTLY CUTTING OFF OVER THE GULF STATES THROWS MSTR NORTH INTO
THE AREA INTO TONIGHT AND THEN BEGINS ITS TREK NNE TOWARDS THE
REGION.

AREA OF LIGHT RAIN RAPIDLY EXPANDING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL
INDIANA INTO WESTERN OHIO. SUSPECT BY MID EVENING SE THIRD TO HALF
OF CWA WILL BE SEEING AT LEAST LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE OCCURRING WITH NW
AREAS LIKELY STILL DRY. THIS WILL CHANGE BY LATER TONIGHT AS UPPER
LOW BEGINS TO WORK NORTH AND LARGE TROWAL SETS UP ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. COMPUTER MODELS CONTINUE TO CRANK OUT 2 TO MORE THAN
3 INCHES OF RAINFALL IN SPOTS...GENERALLY IN NE TO SW ORIENTATION
ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. EVEN IF ONE TO LOCALLY
2 INCHES FALLS...THIS WILL EXACERBATE FLOODING CONCERNS ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN OHIO AND NE INDIANA. IN ADDITION...RISING RIVER LEVELS
IN THE WESTERN BASINS AND POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIEST RAINS TO SET UP AND
PERSIST THE LONGEST IN THESE AREAS CAUSES ISSUES. AFTER MUCH
COORDINATION...HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE AREAL FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA THROUGH TUES EVE. HEAVIEST RAIN WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 6Z TUE AND
00Z WEDS WITH POSSIBILITY OF DRY SLOT WORKING INTO SE AREAS FOR A
WHILE TUES AFTERNOON. QPF COULD BE LOWER AS A RESULT IN THESE AREA
BUT STILL MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR CONTINUED FLOODING CONCERNS ON
LOCAL RIVERS...STREAMS AND LOW AREAS. TEMPERATURES WILL NOT DROP
MUCH TONIGHT ACROSS THE AREA AND MAY ACTUALLY RISE SOMEWHAT IN SE
THIRD OR SO AS UPPER LOW DRAWS CLOSER AND WARM AIR TRIES TO MOVE IN.

NEXT CHALLENGE WILL BE ARRIVAL OF COLD AIR AND SWITCHOVER TO SNOW

IN TERMS OF SNOWFALL MAINLY TO INCREASE SNOWFALL BY A FEW TENTHS ON
OUTER FRINGES OF THE AREA WHERE THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST A DUSTING
AT SOME POINT TUES NGT. HPC GRAPHICS HAVE BACKED OFF ON 6 TO 8 INCH
AMOUNTS INTO OUR AREA...LEANING TOWARDS 4 TO 6 IN FAR NORTHEAST AND
LOWER AS YOU WORK SOUTH. GRIDS LIKELY TO CHANGE TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW AS TRACK OF MID/UPPER LEVEL FEATURES BECOMES BETTER DEFINED
AND TIMING OF COLD AIR HOPEFULLY BECOMES CLEARER. HAVE HELD OFF ON
ANY SORT OF HEADLINES AND WILL REISSUE SPS WITH UPDATED AMOUNTS.

.LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
DEEP LOW OVER THE LWR GRTLKS WED MORNING WILL LIFT NE UP THE ST.
LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY AND SHEAR OUT WED/THU. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE

THAT TIME AND SATURATION PSBLY LOWERING BLO DGZ...ANY ADDITIONAL
ACCUM SHOULD BE MINOR.

RIDGING WILL FOLLOW THIS SYSTEM ACROSS THE GRTLKS WED PM-THU
PROVIDING FAIR WX. SOME CONCERN THAT LINGERING MOIST LOW LEVELS AND
WK LOW LEVEL FLOW MAY RESULT IN SOME STRATUS/FOG WED NGT WHICH COULD
LINGER INTO THU...THUS STUCK WITH PREV FCST HIGHS WED NEAR 40 WHICH
IS GENERALLY BLO LATEST MOS GUIDANCE. WED NGT MINS SUPPORTED BY
LATEST MOS GUIDANCE AND EVEN IF STRATUS DVLPS COULD BE REACHED GIVEN
POTENTIAL FOR SOME LINGERING SNOW COVERED AREAS IN THE CWA.

SHRTWV SOUTH OF GULF OF ALASKA TODAY EXPECTED TO SPLIT WITH NRN
STREAM OPEN WAVE MOVG ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS THU AND GRTLKS FRI WHILE
LOW CUTS OFF OVER THE SWRN U.S.. CDFNT ASSOCIATED WITH NRN STREAM

SHOWERS BUT MOISTURE LIMITED AND FORCING WK SO ACCUMULATION LOOKS
UNLIKELY ATTM. SOME LAKE EFFECT POTENTIAL IN WAKE OF FRONT FRIDAY AS
DELTA T'S INCREASE INTO THE MID TEENS...BUT INVERSION HEIGHT RATHER
LOW AND SUBSIDENCE/DRYING ALOFT DURING THE DAY WILL AGAIN LIKELY
RESULT IN LITTLE OR NO ACCUM.

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONT TO INDICATE PHASING OF SWRN CUTOFF LOW
WITH NEXT NRN STREAM TROF MOVG INTO THE PLAINS OVER THE WEEKEND. 12Z
GFS/ENSEMBLES COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH 00Z ECMWF ON
EVOLUTION OF THIS EVENT...THOUGH ECMWF STILL A LITTLE LESS
