AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
232 PM EST WED MAR 9 2011

.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
KIWX RADAR SHOWING BACK EDGE OF MAIN PRECIP AREA NOW MOVING THROUGH
OH COUNTIES THIS AFTN. HAVE ADJUSTED GRIDS ACCORDINGLY AND WILL GO
WITH JUST A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE AS SFC LOW MOVES
OVERHEAD THIS EVENING. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT AND
WAIT FOR DRY SLOT TO PUSH OFF TO THE EAST ALLOWING WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE TO MOVE IN ALONG WITH UPPER TROUGH TRAVERSING THROUGH THE
TN/OH VALLEY TO PROVIDE ADDL SUPPORT FOR PRECIP TO REDEVELOP
THURSDAY MORNING. COLD AIR WILL BE SLOWER TO MOVE IN AND AS A RESULT
WILL WORK AGAINST NORMAL DIURNAL CYCLE...ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN CWA.
THEREFORE ANTICIPATE A SLOWER CHANGEOVER TO SNOW AND A MORE
PROLONGED PERIOD OF A RA/SN MIX. OVERALL SLOWER PROGRESSION WILL
HAVE -SN CHANCES EXTENDED INTO THURSDAY EVENING FOR EASTERN CWA AS
WELL. CAA PATTERN WILL RESULT IN LITTLE DIURNAL TEMP CHANGE FOR
HIGHS THURSDAY AND LOWS BACK CLOSE TO NORMAL FOR THU NITE.

&&

.LONG TERM...
FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
FRIDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION TODAY BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS...WITH
MAIN FORECAST ISSUES IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST CENTERED ON PRECIP
POTENTIAL FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH NEXT CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM.

INDUCED UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BETWEEN STRONG EASTERN CONUS UPPER
TROUGH AND NEXT PACIFIC TROUGH MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL
PROVIDE SYNOPTIC SCALE DEEP SUBSIDENCE ON FRIDAY WITH PARTLY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS. LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN WEST OF
THE AREA ON FRIDAY KEEPING REGION IN NORTHWEST LOW LEVEL
FLOW...WHICH WILL ACTUALLY TRANSLATE TO WARM ADVECTION IN THIS CASE
DUE TO DEPARTING LOW LEVEL COOL POCKET WITH THE EASTERN CONUS
TROUGH. HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 40S SEEM ATTAINABLE AT THIS TIME
GIVEN INSOLATION AND WARM ADVECTION.

BY FRIDAY...ATTENTION WILL SHIFT TO UPPER TROUGH TRACKING ACROSS
NORTHERN TIER OF US. SOME FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL DISCREPANCIES NOTED
AMONG VARIOUS MODEL GUIDANCE IN TERMS OF EVOLUTION OF THIS
SYSTEM...AS 12Z GFS/NAM APPEAR TO BE DEEPER AND FURTHER SOUTH THAN
WHAT WOULD BE SUGGESTED BY SREF AND ECMWF. NOT A WHOLE LOT OF
CONFIDENCE AT THIS POINT IN TERMS OF TRACK BUT JUST FROM A PURE
WATER VAPOR INSPECTION OF THIS DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY ACROSS EASTERN
PACIFIC AND A STRONG UPPER JET STREAK CUTTING THROUGH THE BASE OF
THIS TROUGH...WOULD TEND TO PUT MORE STOCK IN THE MORE AMPLIFIED
SOLUTION. HOWEVER...TREND TO A MORE STOUT MID/UPPER RIDGE IN
ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH MAY TEND TO SUPPORT FURTHER NORTH IDEA OF
OFFERED BY SREF/ECMWF. TAKING THIS INTO CONSIDERATION...GENERALLY
GEARED FORECAST TOWARD A BLEND OF THESE TWO CAMPS UTILIZING NAM/GFS
DEPTH AND ECMWF/SREF TRACK. NET EFFECT ON THIS FORECAST IS RATHER
MINIMAL WITH JUST SOME SHARPENING OF NORTH TO SOUTH POP GRADIENT
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH HIGHEST CHANCE POPS IN THE NORTH
BASED ON VORT TRACK. WITH SFC LOW EXPECTED TO TRACK JUST NORTH OF
THE AREA BASED ON THIS BLENDED SOLUTION...LOW LEVEL THERMO PROFILES
MAY BE WARM ENOUGH TO SUPPORT MAINLY LIQUID FOR MOST OF THE AREA
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT DID MAINTAIN RAIN/SNOW MENTION ACROSS MOST
OF THE AREA. SOME LINGERING LIGHT SNOW MAY PERSIST IN THE FAR EAST
SATURDAY EVENING BEFORE THIS SHORT WAVE EXITS TO THE EAST. WARM
THERMAL PROFILES SHOULD RESULT IN LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION.

WHILE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IN NEXT SHORT
WAVE AFFECTING THE AREA IN THE MONDAY TIMEFRAME...BOTH 12Z GFS AND
ECMWF ARE TRENDING MORE TOWARD IDEA OF MORE EMPHASIS ON SOUTHERN
STREAM TROUGH DIGGING INTO LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY LIMITING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE RETURN ACROSS THE AREA. HAVE REMOVED POPS FOR MONDAY FOR
NRN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA. SOME HINTS AT MAYBE ANOTHER MID WEEK
DISTURBANCE BRINGING NEXT CHANCE OF -RA...BUT HAVE HELD OFF ON ANY
POPS AT THIS TIME DUE TO PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF FLOW MAKING ANY
POTENTIAL SHORT WAVES DIFFICULT TO TIME FROM THIS FORECAST DISTANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...
IFR CONDITIONS WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE AREA EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THIS
AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES. LIFR CIGS ALSO POSSIBLE
AS INDICATED BY UPSTREAM OBS IN THE VICINITY OF THE CENTER SFC LOW.
WIND SHIFT TO NW EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AS LOW PULLS OUT TO THE NE. COLD
AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
TO WORK WITH AND CHANGE RAIN OVER TO SNOW AT KSBN BY 12Z.
