AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
431 AM EST TUE FEB 28 2012

.SHORT TERM.../TODAY-WED NGT/

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING WILL MOVE QUICKLY EAST
TODAY AS A STRONG SHRTWV OVER SWRN U.S. EJECTS NE TO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. RESULT SHOULD BE INCREASING CLOUDINESS/SELY WINDS ALONG WITH
WAA IN OUR AREA TODAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S... EXCEPT ONLY IN THE
U30S FAR NE.

INTENSIFYING LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NE FROM NEB THIS EVENING TO SRN
MN BY 12Z WED. UPR LEVEL DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH COUPLED UPR JET
STREAKS ACROSS SE CANADA AND THE SRN PLAINS AND STRONG LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AND THETA-E ADVECTION AT THE NOSE OF A 50-60KT LLJ ALONG
WITH DEEP MOISTURE WILL OVERSPREAD OUR AREA TONIGHT SUPPORTING
CATEGORICAL POPS. FAR NE PORTION OF CWA STILL EXPECTED TO GET A
PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AS LOW TEMPS TONIGHT SHOULD BE IN THE L30S
IN THAT AREA. GIVEN MODELS HAVE TRENDED FARTHER N-NE WITH LOW TRACK
AND WARM SECTOR... AND WARM NOSE FORECAST AT +7C AT 5KFT ON NAM BUFR
SOUNDING AT KJXN AT 12Z WED... THINK AN ADVISORY WILL COVER THE
ICING IN THIS AREA... BUT WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE MARGINAL... HELD
OFF ISSUING ATTM... BUT WILL CONT WITH SPS MENTION INSTEAD.

WK ELEVATED INSTABILITY ACCOMPANYING THE STRONG FORCING OVERNIGHT
MAY RESULT IN SCT TSTMS IN OUR AREA AS WELL. HEIGHT FALLS ASSOCIATED
WITH MID LEVEL LOW/TROF MOVG INTO THE WRN GRTLKS COMBINED WITH
DIURNAL/WARM SECTOR HEATING WED MAY ALLOW SOME SFC BASED
INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP. NAM HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT FORECASTING
AROUND 1KJ/KG CAPE ALONG CDFNT SWEEPING EAST ACROSS THE CWA WED.
MAIN LIMITING FACTOR FOR DEEP CONVECTION ALONG CDFNT IN OUR AREA
APPEARS TO BE RATHER WK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG FRONT. ALSO
DRIER AIR ALOFT MAY MIX ACROSS THE AREA QUICKLY WED RESULTING IN
CONVECTIVE INITIATION E-SE OF OUR CWA AS SUGGESTED BY GFS.
NONETHELESS, GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP
ALONG THE CDFNT TO MIX DOWN STRONG MID LEVEL WINDS... WILL ERR ON THE
SIDE OF CAUTION AND CONT WITH A CHC/SCHC OF TSTMS DURING THE DAY
WED.

TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO RISE ACROSS SRN PORTION OF CWA TONIGHT AS WARM
FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA. STILL QUESTIONABLE HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM
SECTOR WILL MAKE IT BEFORE BEING OVERTAKEN BY THE CDFNT ADVANCING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA WED...BUT ATTM EXPECT IT WILL MAKE IT INTO
SRN MI RESULTING IN HIGHS RANGING FROM THE L50S NORTH TO THE L60S
SOUTH. ALSO CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT OF SYNOPTIC SCALE STRONG
WINDS WED MAINLY ACROSS IN/OH AS UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW WITH STEEP
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES DEVELOPS ALONG BEHIND THE CDFNT MIXING
40-50MPH GUSTS TO THE SFC. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH WED NGT
AS MIXING SLOWLY DECREASES IN CAA REGIME. MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND
THE LOW MAY RESULT IN SCT RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW SHOWERS WED NGT
WITH LOWS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE L-M30S.

STRONGLY SUPPRESSED HGHTS REACHING INTO AZ/NM. FOCUS ON FCST TIMING
AND CHC OF DY4 CONVECTION HINGES ON TRACK/DEPTH OF SERN CO
CYCLOGENESIS THU AFTN/NIGHT. BY FRI EVENING CONSENSUS OF GFS AND
PAST FEW CONSISTENT ECMWF SUGGEST CNTL IL SFC LOW WITH STRONG 0-1KM
MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE INTO SRN CWA. THEREAFTER ECMWF
CONSISTENTLY MORE LEFT TRACK THAN GFS...PLAUSIBLE GIVEN DOWNSTREAM
HGHT RISES ACRS WRN ATL INTO FAR ERN CAN. REGARDLESS RAPID DEEPENING
OF SFC SYSTEM AMID 200MB/12 HR MIDLVL HGHT FALLS WARRANT INCLUSION
OF TSRA POTNL FRI AFTN INTO FRI NIGHT...SAVE NWRN CWA WITH
UNCERTAINTY IN SFC LOW TRACK AND INVOF LESS FAVORABLE MUCAPE REGIME.
