AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
1054 AM EST THU JAN 19 2012

.UPDATE...
UPDATE SENT EARLIER THIS MORNING TO REFINE SNOWFALL TOTALS BASED
ON CURRENT TRENDS. SNOWFALL TOTALS THROUGH 10 AM RANGED ANYWHERE
FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS APPROXIMATELY NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. OVER THE PAST HOUR...THE BACK EDGE OF MORE
SIGNIFICANT SNOW HAS MOVED ACROSS FAR NORTHWESTERN SECTION WITH MUCH
DRIER MID LEVEL AIR PUNCHING IN BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE.
REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC STILL SHOWING A MORE ORGANIZED FRONTALLY
FORCED BAND OF SNOW BACK ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO WEST CENTRAL
ILLINOIS THAT WILL OVERSPREAD SOUTHERN SECTION OF THE AREA THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON. THUS AFTER 18Z...MOST OF THE ADDITIONAL SNOW
ACCUMULATION SHOULD AFFECT FAR EASTERN AND SOUTHERN AREAS. NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO FALLING TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON AS
ARCTIC AIR MASS INVADES FROM THE NORTHWEST.

BRIEF LULL IN ACTIVE WINTER WEATHER TONIGHT...WITH ATTENTION
TURNING TO NEXT SNOW PRODUCER FOR FRIDAY. 12Z NAM HAS COME IN
FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS RUNS AND CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO
INCREASE IN AT LEAST A HIGHER END ADVISORY TYPE EVENT FOR NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE AREA. SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS WILL PLAY A MAJOR
FACTOR IN DETERMINING EXACT AMOUNTS. WILL ASSESS REST OF 12Z DATA
BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS ON POTENTIAL HEADLINES FOR FRI
AFTERNOON/NIGHT BUT CURRENT INDICATIONS STILL SUGGEST A HIGH END
ADVISORY OR LOW END WARNING EVENT FOR NORTHERN AREAS. MORE TO COME
ON THIS IN THE AFTERNOON DISCUSSION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 610 AM EST THU JAN 19 2012/

AVIATION.../12Z TAFS/
AREA OF SNOW AHEAD OF CDFNT HAS EXPANDED INTO NW INDIANA INCLUDING
SBN ALREADY THIS MORNING AND SHOULD REACH FWA BY OR SHORTLY AFTER
START OF TAF PERIOD. SYNOPTIC SCALE SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SHRTWV/CDFNT MOVG ACROSS THE AREA SHOULD CONT UNTIL ABOUT 18Z AT
SBN AND 21Z AT FWA WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS PREDOMINANT DURING
THAT PERIOD. LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONT AT SBN
INTO TONIGHT BUT SHOULD BE LIGHT WITH ONLY MINOR ADDITIONAL
ACCUMS. EXPECT MVFR CIGS TO PERSIST MUCH OF THE PERIOD AS LOW
LEVEL FLOW BECOMES WEAK WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE AREA
TONIGHT WHILE INVERSION BASED AROUND 3KFT TRAPS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 418 AM EST THU JAN 19 2012/

SHORT TERM.../TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER ERN LS THIS MORNING WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS
SRN ONTARIO THIS MORNING. TRAILING CDFNT ACROSS ERN WI/NW IL WILL
MOVE ACROSS OUR CWA DURING THE DAY. MOST SGFNT SNOW CONTS TO BE
CONFINED TO WI AND DOWNWIND OF GRTLKS ATTM... HWVR MODELS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND INFLUX OF MID LEVEL
PACIFIC MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO AN E-W ORIENTED BAND OF SNOWFALL
DVLPG ACROSS OUR CWA THIS MORNING. INCREASING ECHOES AND DVLPG
SNOWFALL ACROSS NW IL/NE IA ATTM SUPPORT THIS SCENARIO. RATHER
DEEP MOIST DGZ ALSO PROGGED SUGGESTING GOOD POTENTIAL FOR
ACCUMULATING SNOW. WITH CLOUDY SKIES AND DVLPG SNOW... TEMPS NOT
EXPECTED TO RISE MUCH TODAY DESPITE WAA AHEAD OF THE FRONT. STRONG
CAA BEHIND THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN FALLING TEMPS WITH FROPA AT
BEH EXPECTED BY 13Z...AND AT AOH BY 20Z. DEPTH OF COLD AIR FAIRLY
SHALLOW WITH INVERSION BASED AROUND 5KFT... BUT THIS SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW FOR SCT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP
BEHIND THE FRONT AND PERSIST INTO TONIGHT. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL
BECOME WK OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. SOME
LOW CLOUDS SHOULD REMAIN TRAPPED BENEATH SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
ACROSS OUR AREA AND HIGH CLOUDS LIKELY INCREASING FROM THE WEST
LATE AS ANOTHER SHRTWV APPROACHES OUR AREA FROM THE PLAINS. THIS
SHOULD KEEP TEMPS IN CHECK DESPITE LIGHT WINDS AND FRESH SNOW
COVER... SO STAYED CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FCST AND LATEST MOS GUIDANCE
WITH LOWS EXPECTED IN THE 5-10F RANGE ACROSS OUR AREA.

ANOTHER SGFNT SNOW EVENT EXPECTED FRI/FRI NGT ACROSS THE AREA.
SHRTWV EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR OVER THE ERN PACIFIC THIS MORNING
SHOULD MOVE RAPIDLY EAST IN ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE PLAINS FRI... AND
THE GRTLKS FRI NIGHT. ASSOCIATED SFC INVERTED TROF/WK SFC LOW
EXPECTED TO TRACK THROUGH THE OH VALLEY FRI NGT. MODELS CONT TO HAVE
SOME DIFFERENCES WRT THIS SYSTEM WITH NAM/ECMWF A LITTLE
DEEPER/SLOWER WITH THE SYSTEM THAN THE GFS ALLOWING MORE LOW LEVEL
WAA AND SUGGESTING A MIX OF SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN ACROSS SRN
PORTION OF OUR CWA. GIVEN STRENGTH OF CIRCULATION WITH THIS
FEATURE ON SATELLITE THIS MORNING FAVOR THE STRONGER/SLOWER
SOLUTIONS BUT 24HR TREND OF NAM HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY COLDER IN THE
LOW LEVELS ACROSS OUR AREA FRI/FRI NGT... SO STUCK WITH CURRENT
FCST OF JUST A SNOW/SLEET MIXTURE OVER SRN PORTION OF THE CWA.
COOK METHOD SUGGESTS HEAVIEST SNOW BAND FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE 4
INCHES AS IT CROSSES OUR AREA WITH GARCIA METHOD SUGGESTING 6.
THESE NUMBERS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH MODEL QPF ASSUMING A
10 TO 1 RATIO. SNOW-WATER RATIO PROBABLY WILL BE A BIT HIGHER THAN
THAT BUT MODEL QPF TYPICALLY A BIT OVERDONE AS WELL SO PRELIMINARY
INDICATIONS ARE FOR 3-6 INCHES NORTH AND 1-3 INCHES SOUTH
FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT. H85 TEMPS WARM ABOUT 5C FROM MIDDAY TODAY TO
MIDDAY FRIDAY...HWVR EASTERLY SURFACE WINDS...CLOUD COVER AND
DEVELOPING PRECIP SHOULD KEEP HIGHS ONLY IN THE L-M20S FRIDAY. GIVEN WK
LOW LEVEL FEATURE WITH THIS SYSTEM... LITTLE CAA EXPECTED BEHIND
IT FRIDAY NIGHT. STILL MAV DROPS TEMPS INTO THE 7-14F RANGE. THINKING
THERE IS A GOOD CHC CLOUD COVER WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT SO STAYED
CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FCST WITH LOWS EXPECTED IN THE TEENS NORTH AND
L20S SOUTH.

LONG TERM.../SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

FAST MOVING AND ENERGETIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH
FRI/FRI NGT SYSTEM QUICKLY DEPARTING THE AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE
QUICKLY BUILD IN WITH RIDGE AXIS ALREADY CLEARING THE AREA BY
SATURDAY NIGHT. INCREASING WAA WILL OVERRUN THE AREA LATER SAT NGT
INTO SUNDAY AS LONGWAVE TROUGH DIGS INTO THE FOUR CORNERS AREA.
MODELS STILL VARYING SOMEWHAT ON SPEED AND STRENGTH WITH GFS FASTEST
WITH APPROACHING ENERGY AND ASSOCIATED MSTR/POPS WITH ECMWF SLOWER
MORE INTO MONDAY. BLEND OF THE 2 IS GENERALLY BEING FOLLOWED WITH
SLGT CHC/CHC POPS SUN INCREASING TO HIGHER END CHC POPS SUN NGT.
DESPITE THEIR TIMING DIFFERENCES...GFS/ECMWF BOTH TRACK SFC LOW TO
THE NW OF THE AREA. CONCERNS OF PAST SEVERAL OVERNIGHT PACKAGES HAS
BEEN GUIDANCE NUMBERS /CR ALLBLEND/ HAS BEEN TRENDING DOWNWARD TOO
MUCH AND WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN BACK AROUND. 925 MB TEMPS REACH 4 TO
9 CELSIUS ON THE GFS BY 00Z MON AND 8 TO 11 C FOR THE ECMWF. NEW
ENSEMBLE NUMBERS FOR SBN SHOWS SPREAD OF 37 TO 48 DEGREES FOR
POTENTIAL HIGH AND 39 TO 49 FOR FORT WAYNE. SCENARIO WOULD APPEAR TO
BE SETTING UP AGAIN FOR POTENTIALLY RAPID WARM UP WELL INTO THE 40S
AND POSSIBLY 50. AS A RESULT...HAVE WENT ALL RAIN SUN/SUN EVE WITH
MIX LATE SUN NGT FOR NOW. AM INCLINED TO LEAN TOWARDS ECMWF WITH
SLOWER TREND GIVEN BIAS OF GFS TO KICK THINGS OUT TOO QUICK BUT WILL
BLEND THEM FOR NOW. HAVE WENT AGAINST CR ALL BLEND SLIGHTLY AND
INCREASED VS DECREASE BUT STILL WITHIN LIMITS OF COLLABORATION.

SYSTEM DEPARTS WITH DRYING CONDITIONS ARRIVING INTO MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. HIGHS MONDAY MAY BE REACHED EARLY WITH SLUG OF -7 TO -11 C
925 MB TEMPS COMING IN PER BOTH MODEL SOLUTIONS. FURTHER CHANGES MAY
BE NEEDED TO THESE PERIODS FOR TEMPS BUT IF LOW TRACK IS FAR ENOUGH
NW...COLD AIR ARRIVAL COULD BE DELAYED OR SUPPRESSED SOMEWHAT AS
NEXT SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE BY MID WEEK TO BRING ANOTHER SHOT OF PRECIP.
