AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
1240 AM EST THU MAR 8 2012

.AVIATION...
CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE NEXT FEW HOURS AHEAD OF POTENT COLD FRONT.
THETA E ADVECTION ONGOING WITH MOISTURE POOLED ALONG FRONT. RADAR
SHOWING LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS MOVING TOWARD TAF SITES AND
SATELLITE/OBS INDICATE MVFR AND OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS. CANNOT
RULE OUT VERY ISOLATED THUNDER SO LEFT CB MENTION IN. PCPN SHOULD
END FROM WEST TO EAST THURSDAY BEGINNING AROUND 12 TO 14Z AT KSBN
AND 15 TO 17Z AT KFWA. MVFR CLOUDS WILL LINGER AFTER FROPA BUT DRIER
AIR IN THE AFTERNOON SHOULD SCOUR THINGS OUT. A WEAK SHORT WAVE
TONIGHT COUPLED WITH FLOW DEVELOPING OFF LAKE MICHIGAN WITH DELTA T
VALUES IN LOWER TEENS SUGGEST POSSIBLE LAKE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT LATE
IN THE PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...

UPDATE...
SFC COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN INTO WEST
CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL TRACK INTO NORTHERN INDIANA OVERNIGHT AS
BROAD NORTHERN STREAM UPPER TROUGH IMPINGES ON THE UPPER MS RIVER
VALLEY. 00Z DVN RAOB...WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE SAMPLED PRIMARY LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE AXIS AHEAD OF THE FRONT...REPORTED PWAT OF 0.90
INCHES AND EVEN SOME WEAK ELEVATED CAPE FOR 850 HPA BASED PARCEL
OF 200 J/KG. ALREADY BEGINNING TO SEE SOME SCATTERED THUNDER
ACROSS SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. PREVIOUS FORECAST OF FRONTAL TIMING
AND HIGHER POPS OVERNIGHT STILL APPEARS TO BE INLINE WITH CURRENT
TRENDS AND NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE. ISOLATED/SCT THUNDER
POTENTIAL ALSO WAS MAINTAINED WITH PRIMARY ELEVATED INSTABILITY
AXIS WORKING IN OVERNIGHT AND STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL DVG FIELDS
IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING LOW/MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESEIS. LITTLE
TEMPERATURE DROP FROM CURRENT READINGS EXPECTED ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHEAST WHERE FROPA IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING. UPDATED FORECAST SENT EARLIER MAINLY TO REMOVE WIND
ADVISORY HEADLINE.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM EST WED MAR 7 2012/

SHORT TERM... / THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT /

WINDY AND MILD CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO THIS EVENING
WITHIN DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF A SHARP COLD FRONT.
MIXING HEIGHTS APPEAR TO BE AROUND 5 KFT THIS AFTN PER LATEST
RUC/LAPS/AMDAR SOUNDINGS. PROFILER AND IWX VWP STILL SHOWING 40-50
KNOTS BTW 2-5 KFT AS OF THIS WRITING SUGGESTING THAT GUSTS IN THIS
RANGE TO CONTINUE INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.

A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE WILL PROPAGATE EWD TOWARDS THE
WESTERN/NORTHERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING...FORCING
A SHARP COLD FRONT SEWD THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA...THROUGH THE SBN
AREA AROUND 09-10Z THU AND THE LIMA OH AREA BTW 15-18Z. FAVORABLE
RIGHT ENTRANCE UPPER JET DYNAMICS WILL LEAD TO A FAIRLY ROBUST LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENT BOUNDARY...MAINLY IN THE 950-850 HPA LAYER.
ALSO...UPSTREAM OBS AND LATEST MODEL PROGS SUGGEST MODEST MOISTURE
POOLING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WITH PWATS IN EXCESS OF 1 INCH AND 925
HPA MIXING RATIOS INCREASING TO 8-9 G/KG. THE RESULT WILL LIKELY
BE A 4 TO 6 HOUR PERIOD OF RAIN...MORE SHOWERY IN NATURE JUST
AHEAD AND ALONG THE SFC CDFNT...LATER TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING. ADDED ISOLATED THUNDER TO THE GRIDS GIVEN THIS RATHER
IMPRESSIVE FRONTOGENESIS SIGNAL COMBINED WITH SUFFICIENT MOISTURE
AND STEEPENING LAPSE RATES ABOVE THE FRONTAL INVERSION. QUICK
MOVEMENT OF THIS FRONTAL CIRCULATION WILL KEEP RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN
CHECK...GENERALLY AROUND A HALF AN INCH OR LESS.

TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY DROP INTO THE 40S BEHIND THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TOMORROW AS LOW LEVEL CAA ENSUES. DRYING AND LARGE SCALE
SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES SHORTWAVE...IN CONJUNCTION
WITH STRONG CONFLUENT FLOW ALOFT...WILL ALLOW FOR RAPIDLY CLEARING
SKIES ON THURSDAY FROM NW TO SE.

LONG TERM.../FRI-WED/
SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE WRN GRTLKS FRI. AIRMASS MOVG IN
RATHER COLD AND DRY BUT PRBLY ENOUGH LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY FOR SOME
STRATO CU IN OUR AREA DURING THE DAY. BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD MIX UP
UP TO ABOUT 875MB RESULTING IN HIGHS RANGING FROM THE M30S NORTH TO
THE L40S SOUTH.

HIGH WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT CAUSING A WK DRY SELY
RETURN FLOW TO DVLP OVERNIGHT. JUST SOME CIRRUS SPILLING OVER UPR
RIDGE TO OUR WEST EXPECTED FOR CLOUD COVER OVERNIGHT. THE
RADIATIONAL COOLING SHOULD BE LIMITED SOMEWHAT BY LOWERING
SUBSIDENCE INVERSION/WARMING ALOFT WITH H85 TEMPS OVER THE CWA FCST
TO RISE FROM AROUND -8C AT 12Z FRI TO 0C AT 12Z SAT. SO HAVE STAYED
CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FCST MINS IN THE M20S WHICH IS AT OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE WARMEST MOS GUIDANCE.

SUNDAY-WED... CONFIDENCE RATHER LOW THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS HANDLING OF EJECTION OF CLOSED LOW OVER SWRN U.S. CONTS
TO BE ERRATIC WITH POOR RUN-RUN CONTINUITY. CLOSED LOW OVER SWRN
U.S. TODAY IS EXPECTED TO GET KICKED NE BY STRONG SHRTWV APCHG THE
WEST COAST SAT. GFS HAS TRENDED TOWARD A FASTER AND MORE NWLY TRACK
WITH THE CLOSED LOW... CLOSER TO ECMWF AND SUGGESTING BEST CHANCE OF
SHOWERS FROM THIS SYSTEM IS SUNDAY NIGHT AS IN OUR GOING FCST. GFS
ALSO CONTS TO DEVELOP A SECONDARY CIRCULATION WHICH LIFTS ACROSS OUR
AREA ABOUT 24HRS LATER (AROUND 12Z TUE)...WHILE ECMWF WHICH HAD BEEN
CONSIDERABLY WEAKER WITH THIS SHRTWV AND KEPT IT WELL SOUTH OF OUR
CWA IN PREVIOUS RUNS... HAS JUMPED ON THE GFS BANDWAGON WITH ITS 12Z
RUN. LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP OF THE SWRN SYSTEM SUGGESTS DUAL
CIRCULATION DVLPG SO LATEST MODEL RUNS APPEAR TO BE ON THE RIGHT
TRACK. THUS... STAYED CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FCST... RAMPING POPS UP SAT
NGT-SUN NGT WITH CHC/SCHC  LINGERING MON-WED DUE TO POTENTIAL
SECONDARY SHRTWV AND POSSIBILITY OF LINGERING E-W SFC BOUNDARY
ACROSS THE AREA ON DAY7.

WITH SWLY FLOW ALOFT AND MEAN RIDGING OVER CENTRAL U.S. CONTG TO
DOMINATE... TEMPS DURING THIS PERIOD SHOULD BE ABOVE NORMAL...
THOUGH COULD BE TEMPERED FROM TIME TO TIME BY PRECIP.
