AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
345 PM EST SAT NOV 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1227 PM EST SAT NOV 9 2013

THE FIRST OF TWO COLD FRONTS WILL CLEAR THE AREA BY LATE
EVENING...RETURNING TEMPERATURES BACK TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL LEVELS. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP IN MONDAY USHERING
IN THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON SO FAR. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN
THE MID TO UPPER 30S. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 40S. BY
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN THE 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 PM EST SAT NOV 9 2013

A COLD FRONT...ASSOCIATED WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES...WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING.
COLDER MORE SEASONABLE AIR WILL ARRIVE BEHIND THE FRONT BUT WILL
STILL BE PLEASANT IN COMPARISON TO ANTICIPATED TEMPS IN THE FIRST
PART OF THE LONG TERM. WINDS WILL CALM SLIGHTLY AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES BUT WILL PICK BACK UP IN ITS WAKE AS COLD AIR ADVECTION
ALLOWS FOR MIXING OF HIGHER WIND FIELDS. FRONT WILL COME THROUGH DRY
WITH SOME CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH IT FOR A FEW HOURS ESPECIALLY
IN NE AREAS. NO CHANGES TO OVERNIGHT LOWS WITH TEMPS DROPPING BACK
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S AS WINDS HOLD OFF ON DECOUPLING.

LITTLE TO TALK ABOUT ON SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE PASSES ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY TO BRING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND TEMPS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 PM EST SAT NOV 9 2013
ARRIVAL OF ARCTIC FRONT AND MUCH COLDER AIR MONDAY INTO
MONDAY EVENING FOLLOWED BY LAKE EFFECT SNOW CONTINUES TO BE MAIN
FOCUS IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD.

EACH MODEL HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT FROM RUN TO RUN WITH TIMING OF
FRONT BUT GFS REMAINS THE FASTEST WITH ARRIVAL OF COLD AIR.
NAM..ECMWF...GEM CONTINUE TO BE VERY SIMILAR WHILE SREF A LITTLE
FASTER AND CLOSER TO GFS TIMING. TYPICALLY ARCTIC FRONTS WITH A
POSITIVE TILT AND NO STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL ACCELERATE
SOUTHWARD. STILL FEEL A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THESE SOLUTIONS IS VALID
AND HAVE TRIED TO ADJUST TIMING OF LIQUID PCPN...CHANGEOVER TO
FROZEN PCPN...AND FALLING TEMPERATURES BASED ON A BLEND.

USED THE NEW PROBABILITY OF WEATHER TOOL...POWT...IN GFE TO CREATE
WEATHER GRIDS FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GENERALLY USED NAM
AS A BASIS WITH SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TOWARD GFS. THIS LEADS TO
ADDED DETAIL WITHIN GRIDS WITH CHANCES FOR RAIN SHOWERS INITIALLY
MONDAY MORNING WITH A PERIOD OF SLEET POSSIBLE NEAR FRONT FOLLOWED
BY SNOW AS COLDER AIR DEEPENS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. PRELIMINARY
SNOW GRIDS USING THIS TOOL YIELDS ABOUT A HALF INCH WITH SYNOPTIC
FRONT WHICH AGAIN SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN INITIAL WET CONDITIONS AND
WARM GROUND. TOTAL AMOUNTS MAY APPROACH AN INCH IN SOME
AREAS...ESPECIALLY NORTH WHERE CHANGEOVER OCCURS QUICKEST AND LAKE
ENHANCEMENT KICKS IN WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION OVER LAKE.

AS COLD AIR DEEPENS MONDAY NIGHT AND FLOW QUICKLY BECOMES
NORTHERLY...FOCUS SHIFTS TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW AND POTENTIAL FOR
ACCUMULATIONS. MID LAKE TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND 10C PER MID
LAKE BUOY AND THIS YIELDS SFC-850MB DELTA T VALUES AROUND 20C MONDAY
NIGHT WITH SFC-700MB VALUES APPROACHING CRITICAL 30C LEVEL WHICH IS
A GOOD INDICATOR FOR SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS. NAM12 SHOWING GOOD
MOISTURE THROUGH 6-8KFT BUT THE ONE LIMITING FACTOR LOOKS TO BE
SIGNIFICANT DRYING ABOVE 10KFT AS DRY CP AIRMASS BUILDS SOUTHWARD.
HOWEVER...NORTHERLY TRAJECTORIES SUGGEST PRECONDITIONING OFF OF LAKE
SUPERIOR A POSSIBILITY AND GIVEN ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD
STILL BE ABLE TO GENERATE A SIGNIFICANT SINGLE BAND MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING. NAM12 TRAJECTORIES SHOWING A MEANDERING NATURE
TO BAND DEVELOPMENT WITH OFFSHORE FLOW LIKELY PUSHING BAND INTO
EXTREME SOUTHWEST BERRIEN COUNTY AND WESTERN LAPORTE COUNTY. FOR NOW
HAVE INCREASED POPS IN THESE AREAS TO HIGH END LIKELY WITH
UNCERTAINTY LEFT TO ACTUAL BAND PLACEMENT. WITH JUST A BIT MORE
VEERING OF LOW LEVEL FLOW...BAND COULD PUSH WEST INTO KLOT CWA. DID
INCREASE SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS WESTERN BERRIEN AND LAPORTE COUNTIES AS
WELL AS WESTERN STARKE GIVEN FAVORABLE OVERNIGHT TIMING AND EXTREME
INSTABILITY. MORE REFINEMENT LIKELY NEXT 48 HOURS AS HIGHER RES
GUIDANCE COMES INTO PLAY. SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE WITH
HEADLINES OF SOME TYPE NOT OUT OF QUESTION.

A VERY COLD PERIOD THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS CLOSER TO NORMAL LOW
TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION BEGINS
MID WEEK BUT TEMPS STILL EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. ALSO KEPT
REST OF LONG TERM FREE OF PCPN WITH ONLY A FEW WEAK WAVES POSSIBLE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1227 PM EST SAT NOV 9 2013

MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH BE PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS
AS OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL. SFC LOW WILL PASS BY WELL TO
THE NORTH. A COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM EASTERN WISCONSIN INTO EASTERN
IOWA WITH A LARGE AREA OF STRATUS/STRATOCU IN ITS WAKE. THIS IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF BOTH TAF SITES...BUT COULD HAVE A BRIEF
IMPACT AT KSBN GIVEN PROXIMITY TO THE CLOUD SHIELD. STRONG LL WIND
FIELD AHEAD OF THE FRONT WAS BEING MIXED DOWN WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS
TO AROUND 30 KTS EXPECTED INTO THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE FRONT PASSES
WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE WEST AND NORTHWEST AND DIMINISH BRIEFLY BEFORE
PICKING BACK UP AGAIN THIS EVENING AND CONTINUING INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. ENOUGH MIXING SHOULD TAKE PLACE TO KEEP LLWS OUT OF THE TAFS
BUT WILL STILL BE A BUMPY RIDE.

...GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...

STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON
ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA...NORTHWESTERN OHIO AND FAR SOUTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 30
MPH CAN BE EXPECTED WITH GUSTS OF 40 TO 45 MPH AT TIMES. THIS WILL
CAUSE CHALLENGING DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES ON
ALL ROADWAYS. MOTORISTS SHOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN ENCOUNTERING HIGHER
GUSTS AND KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES...THE STRONGER WIND GUSTS WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT.
