STILL SEVERAL BANDS LEFT WITH MVFR AND OCCASIONAL IFR CIGS AND VIS.
HAVE TRIED TO TIME THESE BANDS THROUGH KSBN AND KFWA USING HIRES
MODELS WHILE AT SAME TIME TRYING TO ACCOUNT FOR WEAKENING TRENDS AND
EFFECTS ON VIS RESTRICTIONS. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL WEAKEN AND BACK
OVERNIGHT ALLOWING BANDS TO SHIFT BACK EAST AND BEGIN TO IMPACT KFWA
AGAIN TOWARD DAYBREAK. KEPT AN MVFR VIS IN THERE FOR REMAINING SNOW
SHOWERS. CONDITIONS IMPROVE DRASTICALLY THIS AFTERNOON AS FLOW
COMPLETELY BACKS TO SW AND PUSHES REMAINING CLOUDS NORTH OF TAF

SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW WAS CONTINUING THIS
AFTERNOON AND SHOULD PERSIST INTO TONIGHT WITH CONDITIONS
REMAINING VERY FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW OVERNIGHT. IT APPEARS
THE NAM 4KM WFR HAS THE BEST HANDLE ON THIS SYSTEM...BUT WAS STILL
UNDERESTIMATING THE FORMATION OF THE SINGLE BAND FROM MKG TO AZO
TO WEST OF DFI. THE HEAVIER BANDS HAVE BEEN VERY EFFICIENT
BRINGING MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS WELL INLAND...WITH MODERATE SNOW
ALL OF THE WAY DOWN TO FWA AND DFI WHERE OVER AN INCH OF SNOW WAS
RECORDED AT FWA. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS RECEIVED TODAY INDICATED 6 TO 9
INCHES HAD FALLEN ALREADY BASICALLY FROM BERRIEN COUNTY ALL OF THE
WAY TO WEST OF HIGHWAY 131 IN LOWER MICHIGAN AND FROM SOUTH BEND
TO LAGRANGE. THEREFORE...THE ONGOING AMOUNTS EARLIER FORECAST OF 8
TO 15 INCHES APPEAR ON TRACK AND HAVE LEFT AS IS. HAVE REMOVED
HILLSDALE AND WILLIAMS COUNTIES FROM THE ADVISORY GIVEN THE
SOUTHWEST TRANSLATION OF THE SNOW BANDS. OTHERWISE...KEPT THE
ADVISORY AND WARNING UNTIL 7 AM EDT. WHITLEY AND ALLEN COUNTIES IN
INDIANA MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE ADVISORY...BUT FOR NOW HAVE
HELD OFF EXPANDING THE ADVISORY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN VERY
COLD TUESDAY WITH SMALL DIURNAL VARIATIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER SNOW
COVERED AREAS.

LONG TERM...
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

QUICK MOVING SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES IN
THE TUES NIGHT/WEDS TIME FRAME. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TIMING
BUT SOME DISAGREEMENT REMAINS WITH STRENGTH. LOW LVL PROFILES
SUPPORT A VERY DRY AIRMASS WITH BEST FORCING REMAINING NORTH OF CWA
SO CHANCES OF MEASURABLE PRECIP REMAIN RATHER LOW DESPITE WAA. HAVE
LOWERED POPS A BIT FOR WEDS AFTN BUT KEPT SLIGHT CHC POPS IN
NE. SUSPECT THESE MAY BE REMOVED COMPLETELY ON SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS.

AFTER WEDS...RATHER BENIGN PERIOD ON TAP AS WESTERN US RIDGE SHIFTS
EAST AND BEGINS TO FLATTEN OUT WITH ZONAL FLOW BY FRI. THIS WILL
SUPPORT WARMING TREND OVER AREA WITH TEMPS RETURNING TO ABOVE
NORMAL. COULD SEE TEMPS IN THE UPPER 40S BY FRI. RIDGE BEGINS TO
BREAK DOWN BY THE END OF THE WEEK AS LOW MOVES ACROSS ONTARIO AND
MOVES A WEAK TROF THRU THE AREA SATURDAY. AGAIN A VERY DRY AIRMASS
