.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...

...WINTER STORM WARNING FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA...

MAJOR WINTER STORM SCHEDULED TO IMPACT AREAS TO OUR WEST AND NORTH
IS TAKING SHAPE OVER THE MIDWEST ALREADY SPREADING SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN OVER PORTIONS OF IL/MO AND SNOW FARTHER NORTH. WAVES
OF ENERGY AHEAD OF THE MAIN STORM WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE PATCHES
OF LIGHT PRECIP MOVING OVER THE AREA TONIGHT WITH THE MOST NOTABLE
PRECIP SCHEDULED TO PASS THROUGH INDIANA OVERNIGHT.  LIGHT PRECIP
WILL CONTINUE ON TUESDAY UNTIL THE MAIN SFC LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES
OUR REGION FROM THE SW INTENSIFYING PRECIP AND POSSIBLY CAUSING SOME
T-STORMS AS WELL.  MOST OF THE T-STORM ACTION WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE
TUES NIGHT TIME FRAME WHICH IS DISCUSSED IN THE LONG TERM SECTION
BELOW.

AS FOR PRECIP TYPE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...LOOK FOR LIGHT RAIN TO
CHANCE TO LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR PERHAPS A MIX BACK AND FORTH AS
TEMPS HOVER AROUND THE FREEZING MARK.  THE BEST CHANCE FOR ICE
ACCUMULATION OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TOMORROW WILL BE
ACROSS A PORTION OF SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA WHERE A WARNING WILL BE
ISSUED SHORTLY. EXPECT 0.2-0.4 INCHES OF ICE ACCUMULATION IN THE
WARNING. AN ADVY FOR MORE OF A FREEZING RAIN/RAIN MIX WILL BE ISSUED
FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN INDIANA AND EXTREME NORTH CENTRAL KY WHO
WILL SEE A SHORT PERIOD OF ICING TONIGHT/EARLY TUES BEFORE WARMING
ABOVE FREEZING TUES AFTERNOON.  LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A INCH OF ICE
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED IN THE ADVY AREA.

THE DETERMINING FACTOR FOR THIS FORECAST WILL BE HOW FAR NORTH A
WARM FRONT CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR THE KY/TN BORDER PUSHES OVER OUR
AREA TONIGHT.  HAVE FOLLOWED THE 12Z AND 18Z NAM SOLNS WHICH ARE A
LITTLE COLDER THAN OTHER MODELS BUT FEEL THEY PROVIDE THE BEST
FRONTAL POSITION AND TEMPS.  THAT BEING SAID...THE FRONT SHOULD
INTENSIFY AND SETTLE JUST SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER BY TUESDAY
MORNING.  HOWEVER...ANY SHIFT IN THIS FRONT NORTH OR SOUTH WILL
GREATLY AFFECT THE ICE ACCUMULATION FORECAST.  STAY TUNED FOR
FURTHER UPDATES.

LOW TEMPS TONIGHT SHOULD BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOW 30S NORTH TO MID 40S
SOUTH.  HIGH TEMPS TUES SHOULD BE IN THE MID 30S NORTH TO UPPER 50S
SOUTH.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT - MONDAY)...

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

MASSIVE AND CRIPPLING STORM WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ITS WAY ACROSS THE
UPPER REGION TUESDAY NIGHT.  SURGING COLD FRONT WILL WORK ITS WAY
EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION LATE TUESDAY NIGHT RESULTING IN MUCH
COLDER AIR PUSHING INTO THE REGION.  WE'RE LIKELY TO SEE A 25-30
DEGREE TEMPERATURE DROP BEHIND THE FRONT...IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF
TIME.  WHILE THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE EAST OF THE
REGION...POST-FRONTAL PRECIP IN THE FORM OF RAIN WILL QUICKLY CHANGE
OVER TO SNOW.  EXPECT MOST AREAS TO BE ALL SNOW BY 12Z WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-UPPER 20S.  LIGHT SNOWS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...BUT THE BIGGER STORY WILL
BE THE STRONG GRADIENT WINDS.  LATEST MODELS SUGGEST STRONG WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 25-30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH AT TIMES WILL BE
POSSIBLE.  SHOULD THESE FORECASTS CONTINUE TO BE CONSISTENT...A WIND
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.  SNOW
AMOUNTS GENERALLY WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE AS BEST FORCING AND
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN TO OUR NORTH AND NORTHEAST.  AS THIS LARGE
STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO HEAD NORTHEAST...LIGHT SNOWS WILL TAPER
OFF AND DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS WILL BE ON TAP FOR THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT.

GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE RAW NAM 12KM AND SREF ENSEMBLE MEANS FOR
TEMPERATURES. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 20S IN THE WEST
AND UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30 IN THE EAST.  HIGHS WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN
THE UPPER 20S...BUT IT WILL FEEL MORE LIKE THE SINGLE DIGITS GIVEN
THE STRONG WINDS.  LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT LOOK TO DROP INTO THE MID
TEENS IN THE NORTH TO THE LOWER 20S IN THE SOUTH.  HIGHS THURSDAY
WILL LIKELY WARM INTO THE UPPER 20S TO THE VERY LOW 30S...WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS COOLING BACK INTO THE LOWER TEENS OR UPPER SINGLE
DIGITS ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA WITH LOWER-MID TEENS ACROSS KENTUCKY.

FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

LATEST LONG TERM MODEL RUNS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER
SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE REGION IN THE FRIDAY NIGHT TO SATURDAY TIME
FRAME.  LATEST GFS AND EURO LONG RANGE SOLUTIONS SHOW A CUT-OFF LOW
DEVELOPING OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND THEN HEADING
EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE RED RIVER VALLEY.  AS THIS
OCCURS...CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO.  AS THE
SOUTHERN STREAM LOW HEADS EAST...IT MAY END UP PHASING WITH ANOTHER
STRONG WAVE COMING OUT OF CANADA WITHIN THE NORTHERN STREAM.  THE
31/12Z EURO SOLUTION DOES PHASE THESE WAVES...WHILE THE GFS KEEPS
SOME SEPARATION BETWEEN THEM.  THUS...WHILE THE STORM WILL HEAD UP
THE COAST...THE GFS IS FURTHER EAST...WHILE THE EURO IS A BIT MORE
TO THE WEST.  AT THIS TIME...BOTH SOLUTIONS WOULD RESULT IN
INCREASING PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR MAINLY EASTERN KENTUCKY.
HOWEVER...THE CRITICAL PART OF THE FORECAST IS THE PHASE.  IF THIS
SYSTEM ENDS UP PHASING EARLIER...THE SFC LOW TRACK WOULD END UP
BEING A BIT FURTHER WEST WHICH WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED
PRECIPITATION  CHANCES ACROSS CENTRAL AND POSSIBLY WESTERN KY.
STILL QUITE A BIT OF SPREAD IN THE ENSEMBLE SOLUTIONS...BUT FOR NOW
HAVE TRENDED TO AN AVG OF THE GFS AND EURO AT THIS TIME.  THERMAL
FIELDS ARE WILDLY DIFFERENT AS WELL...WITH THE GFS BEING MUCH COLDER
THAN THE EURO.  FOR NOW...WILL KEEP P-TYPE AS RAIN/SNOW AND ADJUST
AS THE FORECAST COMES INTO BETTER FOCUS.  THOUGH THIS WILL BE A
SYSTEM TO WATCH FOR SURE.

BY THE END OF THE PERIOD...IT APPEARS THAT THE SOUTHEAST RIDGE WILL
REASSERT ITSELF OFF THE EASTERN U.S. COAST WITH LARGE MEAN UPPER
TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE PLAINS.  THE EURO HAS BEEN FAIRLY
CONSISTENT IN THIS IDEA BRINGING ANOTHER STORM OUT OF THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS AND INTO THE MIDWEST....WHICH COULD RESULT IN ANOTHER WINTER
STORM FOR OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST.  IT REMAINS TO BE
SEEN IF WE'RE LOOKING AT A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN THE STORM TRACKS
FROM THE EAST COAST TO THE MIDWEST...THOUGH SOME OF THE GLOBAL
ENSEMBLES GLOBAL SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THAT MAY BE THE CASE.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

MVFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT SCATTERED RAIN EXPECTED FOR THIS
AFTERNOON.  TONIGHT...CONDITIONS WILL DECLINE TO IFR AS A BOUNDARY
PUSHES NORTH INTO OUR AREA.  RAIN COVERAGE WILL INCREASE WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF THIS BOUNDARY AS WELL ESPECIALLY OVER SDF/LEX.  ALTHOUGH
THE RAIN WON/T BE CONSTANT...THE TAF SITES SHOULD EXPERIENCE ON AND
OFF RAIN FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.

WINDS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE BOUNDARY LOCATION.  LOOKS LIKE MOST
OF THE TAF SITES SHOULD SEE WINDS OUT OF THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON IN
THE 7 TO 10 KT RANGE.  TONIGHT WINDS WILL SHIFT SES AT LEX AND BWG
AS THE BOUNDARY SETTLES PRETTY NEAR OR SLIGHTLY NORTH OF THESE TAF
SITES.  THE BOUNDARY IS NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE IT AS FAR NORTH AS SDF
SO WINDS SHOULD STAY OUT OF THE EAST AT THIS TERMINAL.
