AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
653 AM EST MON FEB 28 2011

.AVIATION...
THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT BROUGHT WIDESPREAD RAIN TO THE
AREA HAS QUICKLY SHIFTED OFF TO THE EAST THIS MORNING. SOME IFR
AND MVFR CIGS PERSIST IN STRONG COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE SURFACE
TROUGH WHICH HAS CLEARED THE AREA...BUT DRY AIR ADVECTION AND
INCREASING MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE SHOULD RESULT IN SCATTERING LOW
CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON. IFR CIGS AT KFWA SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WHILE SEVERAL MORE HOURS OF MVFR CIGS WILL
PERSIST AT KSBN THIS MORNING. SOME NORTH WIND GUSTS TO 20 TO 25
KNOTS ALSO EXPECTED THROUGH THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS. SFC
ANTICYCLONE WILL SETTLE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT RESULTING IN WINDS
GOING LIGHT AND VARIABLE UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. RECENT
RAINFALL...CLEAR SKIES...AND LIGHT WINDS...DOES POSE SOME PATCHY
FOG QUESTIONS TONIGHT. HOWEVER...AT THIS TIME WILL KEEP VSBYS
UNRESTRICTED WITH HYDROLAPSE DATA LOOKING UNFAVORABLE FOR
SIGNIFICANT FOG FORMATION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 453 AM EST MON FEB 28 2011/

SHORT TERM...

TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT

POTENT FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE OVER OK WILL CONTINUE TO
ADVECT EAST TODAY...WITH ALL ASSOCIATED LL ADJUSTMENT PASSING SOUTH
OF THE FA. SFC TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
THE OH VALLEY AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE SE
MIDWEST...WITH MIXED PRECIP BEING REPORTED OVER PORTIONS OF THE
REGION AS PROFILES COOL. OPEN WAVE STRUCTURE AND FRONT SIDE JET
ORIENTATION WILL QUICKLY LIFT THIS SYSTEM EAST OUT OF THE
AREA...WITH A FAST END TO ONGOING PRECIP. MESOSCALE INFLUENCES FROM
DOWNSTATE CONVECTION HAS ALSO SUPPORTED AN EASTERN SHIFT OF THE
STRONGEST LL FORCING WITH MAINLY LIGHT RAIN REMAINING OVER THE FA.
THE TRANSITION TO FAST WESTERLY FLOW WILL BE THE NORM THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH NORTHERN STREAM INFLUENCES.

TODAY...HAVE TAILORED THE FA TO INCLUDE A FAST EXIT OF PRECIP...WITH
LL DRYING SUPPORTING SOME SUN BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. COOLING
THERMAL FIELDS /AS INDICATED IN H85 T FALLS OF AROUND 5 DEGREES C/
WILL SUPPORT A QUELLED DIURNAL T CURVE WITH A SLIGHT RISE IN T/S
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT MORE LIKELY T/S WILL HOVER IN THE
LOWER 30S. FAST MOVING SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL SUPPORT CLEARING SKIES
TONIGHT WITH LARGE SCALE SINK OVER THE AREA. DRY AIR MOVING INTO THE
REGION WITH A STRONGLY DECOUPLED BL WILL SUPPORT T/S FALLS LATE
TONIGHT INTO THE LOWER 20S AND UPPER TEENS.

TUES...FAST MOVING NORTHERN STREAM IMPULSE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE
CANADIAN BORDER...WITH PRESSURE FALLS EXPECTED INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
INCREASES LL WIND FIELD WITH CLEAR SKIES SUPPORTING STRONG INSOLATION
WILL ALLOW FOR RATHER DEEP MIXING GIVEN A DEPLETED SNOW PACK.
NAM/GFS BUFR MIXING HEIGHTS ARE JUST BELOW H9...AND WITH WEAK WAA
TEMPS SHOULD RECOVER NICELY INTO THE 40S FOR HIGHS. MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES WILL PREVAIL TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH PERHAPS SOME MID AND HIGH
CLOUDS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS PER THE ADVECTING UPPER
IMPULSE AND ASSOCIATED LL TROUGH. PRESSURE RISES AND ASSOCIATED
ISALLOBARIC WIND SHOULD SUPPORT SOME LL MIXING HELPING TO KEEP TEMPS
WARMER THAN MON NIGHT.

LONG TERM...

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

STRONG EASTERN PACIFIC JET ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THIS MORNING
WILL WORK ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF STATES THROUGH MID WEEK. TREND
OVER PAST FEW RUNS OF THE GFS HAS BEEN TOWARD AN ASSOCIATED STRONGER
NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CENTRAL CANADA AT
THE BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD...WHICH ALLOWS A FURTHER SOUTHWARD
PENETRATION OF COLDER AIR ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION ON
WEDNESDAY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS MORNING AND SATELLITE DERIVED
WINDS OF 130 KNOTS AT 300 HPA DO SUPPORT STRENGTH OF THIS EASTERN
PACIFIC JET AND HAVE STEERED FORECAST TOWARD STRONGER NORTHERN
STREAM TROUGH. OVERALL RESULT WAS JUST MINOR DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENTS TO
MAX TEMPS ACROSS THE FAR NORTH ON WEDNESDAY...BUT PROSPECTS FOR ANY
PRECIP STILL LOOKING TRACE AT BEST DUE TO VERY SHALLOW BASED
MOISTURE. TREND TO A MORE WELL DEVELOPED NORTHEAST CONUS/SOUTHEAST
CANADIAN UPPER TROUGH BY WEDNESDAY WILL RESULT IN A MORE AMPLIFIED
UPSTREAM RIDGE WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR A BIT MORE RESIDENCE TIME OF
SHALLOW COLD AIR INTO THURSDAY. FAIRLY ROBUST LOW LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION STILL LOOKS TO GET GOING THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT SUSPECT
THAT STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL INVERSION UNDER THIS WAA REGIME WILL
LIMIT SFC TEMP RISES...AND SOUTHEAST SFC WINDS ALSO NOT LIKELY TO
ALLOW FOR MUCH MIXING TO THE SFC. THUS...HAVE MADE SOME MINOR
DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENTS TO MAX TEMPS FOR THURSDAY...PARTICULARLY ACROSS
THE NORTHEAST WHERE THIS SHALLOW LOW LEVEL COLD AIR WILL RESIDE
LONGER.

FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE HAVE MADE MINIMAL CHANGES TO POPS AND
WEATHER WITH LATEST SET OF 00Z GUIDANCE IN OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT TO
PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY. NEXT SIGNIFICANT
EASTERN PACIFIC TROUGH WILL ALLOW FOR SUPPRESSION OF CENTRAL
CONUS/SOUTHERN CANADIAN RIDGE AND PROVIDE STRONGER WARM ADVECTION
AGAIN BY THURSDAY NIGHT. NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN BY THURSDAY NIGHT STILL
LOOKS ON TRACK...WITH PERHAPS SOME PRECIP TYPE ISSUES TO CONTEND
WITH MAINLY AT ONSET DUE TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING EFFECTS.
HOWEVER...LIQUID STILL APPEARS TO BE THE DOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE
FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE DWINDLES TOWARD FRIDAY NIGHT WITH PASSAGE OF
LEAD EASTERN PACIFIC TROUGH INTRODUCING THE POSSIBILITY OF COLD AIR
ADVECTION. PRECIP TYPE BECOMES MORE MUDDLED BY FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
DECENT AGREEMENT IN ECMWF/GFS/GEM OF NEXT EASTERN PACIFIC TROUGH
WORKING INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. FAIRLY SHARP DOWNSTREAM BAROCLINIC
ZONE AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ZONE WILL ALLOW FOR EXTENDED PRECIP
CHANCES INTO THE WEEKEND. AT THIS TIME...HAVE KEPT FLAVOR OF
PREVIOUS FORECAST OF CHANCES OF RAIN CHANGING TO CHANCES OF SNOW BY
SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY. 00Z ECMWF STILL MAINTAINS MORE OF A CUT OFF
SOLUTION WITH THE DIGGING CENTRAL ROCKIES UPPER TROUGH ACROSS LOWER
MS RVER VALLEY NEXT WEEKEND WHICH IS GIVEN SOME SUPPORT FROM 00Z
CANADIAN...WHILE 00Z GFS REMAINS MORE PROGRESSIVE AND FURTHER NORTH.
DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES IN THIS EVOLUTION HAVE NOT MADE CHANGES TO POPS
AT THIS TIME DUE TO DIFFICULTY IN FOCUSING A PERIOD FOR HIGHER 12
HOUR POPS.
