AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
325 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

.SHORT TERM.../TNGT-WED NGT/
TROF SWINGING AROUND CLOSED LOW OVER QUEBEC WILL DROP S-SE ACROSS
THE GRTLKS TONIGHT AND EARLY WED. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN
MAINTAINING A SUFFICIENTLY STRONG SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT TO CONT
AT LEAST LIGHT NW WINDS OVERNIGHT. STRATO CU WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE
AREA THIS AFTN AND SHOULD LINGER THROUGH THIS EVE... THOUGH SOME
CLEARING EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT. CLOUDS/MIXING SHOULD LIMIT TEMP
FALLS TONIGHT... THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE FAR TO GO TO REACH
FREEZING... SO HAVE UPGRADED TO A FREEZE WARNING WITH LOWS FCTS
TO BE IN THE U20S/L30S... EXCEPT M30S NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN.

DIURNAL HEATING/LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY CU/STRATO CU SHOULD RESULT IN
A PERIOD MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ON WED. LAKE SHADOW LIKELY CLEARING NW
IN THE AFTN AS COLDEST TEMPS ALOFT SHIFT EAST STABILIZING AIRMASS
OVER THE LAKE. MODEL TEMPS/FCST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST MOS IS A BIT TOO
WARM IN OUR AREA. FCST HIGHS IN THE L50S...EXCEPT ONLY IN THE M40S
NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN.

RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE AREA WED NGT SHOULD RESULT IN SKIES CLEARING
EARLY WITH WK PRESSURE GRADIENT ALLOWING WINDS TO DROP OFF TO CALM
OVERNIGHT. AIRMASS MODIFICATION BY THAT TIME WILL BE COUNTERED BY
STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING OVERNIGHT... LIKELY RESULTING IN MINS
CLOSE TO TONIGHTS... THUS ISSUED FREEZE WATCH FOR WED NGT.

&&

.LONG TERM...

NWLY FLOW SHIFTS EAST DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST
AS RIDGE BUCKLES IN THE PLAINS. PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WITH DEEPENING
TROF ALONG THE WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA...WITH AN EVENTUAL DEEP
TROF ALONG THE ROCKIES INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST BY THE END OF THE
PERIOD.

THE RESULT IS A PRONOUNCED WARMUP FRI-SUN...WITH DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW FROM OVER THE GULF OF MEX INTO THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL HELP
TO DRIVE THE TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE END OF THE WEEK
AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES INTO IOWA AND
THE SOUTHERN PLAIN SATURDAY WILL PUSH INTO THE GREAT LAKES/NRN
INDIANA REGION DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO GRADUALLY
INCREASING THREATS OF CONVECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD...HOWEVER TIMING
OF FRONTAL POSITIONS AND OPTIMAL CONVECTIVE SUPPORT IS PROPBLEMATIC
THAT FAR OUT. HAVE OPTED TO KEEP CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND/OR
THUNDERSTORMS GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE
NEXT WEEK.

WHILE RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD BE SIGNIFICANT WITH SOME OF THE
CONVECTION...DO NOT ANTICIPATE WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS AS RAINFALL FOR
THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS HAS BEEN SPOTTY AT BEST.

AT THIS TIME DOES NOT APPEAR THAT OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL DROP
TO FREEZING...FROST IS NOT EXPECTED TO POSE A THREAT IN THE LONG
TERM PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...
STRATO CU DECK IN COLD CYCLONIC LOW LEVEL FLOW HAS CREPT SOUTHWARD
ACROSS NRN INDIANA THIS MORNING AND VFR CIGS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
HERE THIS AFTN/EVE. WITH LOSS OF HEATING TONIGHT EXPECT LOW CLOUD
COVERAGE TO SLOWLY DIMINISH... BUT ANOTHER STRATO CU DECK
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA AROUND DAYBREAK AS A SHRTWV MOVES
SOUTH ACROSS MI. WINDS WILL CONT TO GUST TO AROUND 25KT THIS
AFTN... THEN DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF HEATING THIS EVE. SOME INCREASE
IN WINDS WITH DIURNAL HEATING/MIXING WED MORNING BUT NOT AS GUSTY
AS TODAY AS RIDGE BUILDS TOWARD THE AREA.
