AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
430 AM EST WED NOV 30 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT

ALL REMAINING WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES WILL BE CANCELLED WITH
FORECAST ISSUANCE THIS MORNING...WITH SHORT TERM FOCUS CENTERING ON
TEMPERATURES.

MID LEVEL CIRCULATION HAS SHIFTED WELL EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA
THIS MORNING...WITH DEFORMATION FORCING AND MID LEVEL BAROCLINICITY
CONTINUING TO WEAKEN. JUST AN HOUR OR TWO OF ADDITIONAL LIGHT SNOW
EXPECTED ACROSS FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING...BUT ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS WOULD BE A TRACE TO A FEW
A TENTHS OF AN INCH. WILL GO AHEAD AND CANCEL ALL WINTER WEATHER
HEADLINES FOR THE FORECAST AREA AT 09Z. LOW CLOUDS HAVE HELD STRONG
ACROSS NORTHWEST INDIANA DOWNWIND OF LAKE MICHIGAN DESPITE LIMITED
LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY. HOWEVER AS LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS BEGINS TO
MOVE IN FROM THE WEST THIS MORNING...WILL SEE A CONTINUED BACKING OF
LOW LEVEL WINDS AND A LESS FAVORABLE FETCH AND RESIDENCE TIME FOR
SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE FLUX OFF LAKE MICHIGAN LATER THIS MORNING.
SYNOPTIC SCALE SUBSIDENCE WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE BY MID
MORNING WITH INDUCED UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE RIDGING BUILDING INTO
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION. HAVE SLIGHTLY SLOWED CLEARING TREND
FROM PREVIOUS THINKING...BUT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON STILL
SEEMS INLINE BASED ON STRENGTH OF DRY AIR ADVECTION. DESPITE
INSOLATION THIS AFTERNOON...WOULD SUSPECT THAT SNOW WILL BE SLOW TO
MELT GIVEN HIGH LIQUID EQUIVALENTS. HAVE MAINTAINED GENERAL IDEA OF
PREVIOUS MAX TEMP FORECAST IN TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT SNOW COVERED AREAS
FOR COOLER TEMPERATURES...AND HAVE JUST SHARPENED THIS CONTRAST A
BIT WITH THIS MORNINGS FORECAST. PORTIONS OF AREAS WHICH RECEIVED
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 6 TO 10 INCH RANGE WILL LIKELY STRUGGLE INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 30S TODAY AND HAVE SIDED TOWARD SLIGHTLY COOLER
THAN THE COOLER MET GUIDANCE.

MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL DEAMPLIFY TONIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL CONUS AS
AN UPPER TROUGH DIGS ACROSS FAR WESTERN CONUS. BROAD SFC ANTICYCLONE
WILL BE SLOW TO EXIT THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY TONIGHT SUPPORTING GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS. ONE NEGATIVE FACTOR TO COOLER
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT IS RELATIVELY WET SOILS IN AREAS WHERE
SUBSTANTIAL SNOW DID NOT FALL WHICH WILL HAVE SOME MODERATING
EFFECT. COULD SEE LOWS FROM UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S OVER SNOW
COVERED AREAS AND HAVE GENERALLY UTILIZED A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE AND
HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM 2 METER TEMPS TO CAPTURE INFLUENCE OF SNOW
PACK ON TEMPS OVER NEXT FEW DAYS.

NAM/GFS REMAIN IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING EVOLUTION OF
AFOREMENTIONED WESTERN CONUS UPPER TROUGH WITH A PROGRESSIVE
NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH AND A CUT OFF SOUTHERN STREAM TROUGH. LOW
LEVELS WILL REMAIN QUITE DRY AHEAD OF NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH...AND
DID PUSH BACK SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS UNTIL AFTER
06Z. BETTER FORCING SHOULD REMAIN TO THE WEST AND NORTH OF THE LOCAL
AREA...BUT BASED ON STRENGTH OF APPROACHING LOW/MID LEVEL FRONT
OPTED NOT TO REMOVE LOW POPS THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

BENIGN/SEASONABLE WX TO START THE PERIOD (FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY
MORNING) PER HEIGHT RISES AND SFC RIDGING BEHIND A DEPARTING
NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE AND ATTENDANT WEAK/DRY CDFNT. CONTINUED TO
UNDERCUT MOS GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS GIVEN SHALLOW MIXING/WEAK
FLOW...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FA WHERE SNOW WILL
BE SLOW TO MELT.

MODELS/ENSEMBLES DIG A POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH INTO THE
NORTH-CENTRAL CONUS THIS WEEKEND. THE RESULTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WILL SUPPORT INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE AREA WITH A
LOW LVL BAROCLINIC ZONE PROGGED TO SET UP WELL NORTH AND WEST OF THE
FA. INCREASING AMPLIFICATION THANKS TO NE PAC RIDGING WILL FORCE
THIS NRN STREAM TROUGH TO DIG FARTHER SOUTH AND A LEAST PARTIALLY
PHASE WITH AN OPENING WAVE AND ITS JET CORE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS.
THIS EJECTING MID LVL IMPULSE WILL LIKELY PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR A
DECENT SFC FRONTAL WAVE THAT WILL TRACK ALONG THE TIGHTENING
BAROCLINIC ZONE. FAVOR THE WARMER AND MORE CONSISTENT ECMWF
SOLUTION...WHICH NOW HAS INCREASING SUPPORT FROM THE GFS/GEFS IN
TRACKING THIS SYSTEM FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS NEWD INTO THE
WESTERN/NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. GIVEN THIS TRACK AM EXPECTING RAIN
LOCALLY FROM THIS SYSTEM...WITH BEST CHANCES BEING SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY MORNING ALONG THE ASSOCIATED CDFNT. RETAINED MID CHC POPS
FOR NOW AS STILL SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES SEEN MAINLY IN ENSEMBLES.
THE STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED AS A
DEEPER/SLOWER SOLUTION COULD LEAD TO AT LEAST MODERATE RAINFALL AND
ADDITIONAL HYDRO CONCERNS...ESPECIALLY GIVEN ALL THE WATER LOCKED UP
IN THIS SNOWPACK. ATTM...A MODEL CONSENSUS FAVORS A MORE PROGRESSIVE
FRONTAL PASSAGE AND LIGHTER QPF AMOUNTS.

THE AFOREMENTIONED NRN STREAM UPPER TROUGH WILL DIG INTO THE GREAT
LAKES BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE COLDEST AIR OF THE
SEASON TO FILTER IN WITH THE FIRST DECENT LAKE EFFECT EVENT POSSIBLE
AS MODELS DROP 850 HPA TEMPS TO BTW -10C AND -15C.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS...WINTER STORM WILL CONTINUE TO WIND DOWN ACROSS THE AREA OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. A FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE UPPER LOW WILL SHIFT
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION OVERNIGHT...WITH
DEFORMATION FORCING WANING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IFR VSBYS
WITH SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AT KFWA OVER NEXT FEW HOURS...WITH
THE THREAT DIMINISHING BY AROUND 08Z AS DEFORMATION BAND CONTINUES
TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT EASTWARD. NORTHWEST WINDS SHOULD REMAIN
SOMEWHAT GUSTY OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY AT KFWA...BUT WIND GUSTS AT
BOTH TERMINALS SHOULD SUBSIDE AFTER 09Z. WHILE WEST TO EAST
CLEARING TREND HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVE ACROSS NORTHERN
ILLINOIS...HAVE NOTED SOME MVFR CIGS ON BACK EDGE OF CLOUD DECK
ACROSS EXTREME NERN IL/FAR NWRN INDIANA AND DID INDICATE TEMPO
HIGHER END MVFR CIGS AT KSBN THROUGH 09Z. REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST SHOULD BE UNEVENTUL WITH SFC RIDGE AXIS SLOWLY BUILDING
INTO THE AREA ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO BACK TO THE WEST AROUND 10
KNOTS ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED POST 12Z
THIS MORNING.
