AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
1254 AM EST TUE DEC 17 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 655 PM EST MON DEC 16 2013

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL DROP SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY BY TUESDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A BURST OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW TO THE REGION THIS EVENING. A SECOND CLIPPER
SYSTEM WILL BRING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR SNOW DURING THE DAY ON
TUESDAY. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH TOMORROW WILL GENERALLY RANGE
BETWEEN 1 AND 3 INCHES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE TEENS.

&&

.UPDATE...
GRIDS WERE UPDATED EARLIER TO ADD MENTION OF FOG TO SOUTHERN AREAS
AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOUR FOR INCREASE TO
DENSE FOG IN SOME AREAS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL OF NEXT SYSTEM. OTHERWISE
GRIDS ON TRACK FOR THE TIME BEING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM EST MON DEC 16 2013

A COUPLE QUICK BURSTS OF MODERATE SNOW EXPECTED...ONE LATE THIS
AFTN/EVE AND ANOTHER AROUND MIDDAY TUESDAY AS SHORTWAVES DROP
THROUGH IN ACTIVE NW FLOW...

AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS FIRST WAVE OF INTEREST NOW INTO
MINNESOTA WITH WARM ADVECTION SNOW ALREADY BREAKING OUT ACROSS
NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO HOLD
TOGETHER EAST-SOUTHEAST INTO MOST OF THE AREA EARLY THIS EVENING AS
MODEST HEIGHT FALLS WITH PV ANOMALY IN CONJUNCTION WITH INCREASING
LEFT EXIT UPPER JET SUPPORT INDUCES A RESPECTABLE MID LEVEL FGEN
RESPONSE. MOISTURE PROFILES NOT TOO SHABBY FOR A CLIPPER SYSTEM
GIVEN 3 G/KG MOISTURE TAP AND SATURATION ON 290K SFC. A BRIEF PERIOD
OF MOD-HVY SNOW AND HIGHER RATIOS ALSO POSSIBLE NORTHERN HALF OF FA
GIVEN STEEPENING LAPSE RATES ABOVE FRONTAL CIRCULATION AND FAVORABLE
OMEGA/FGEN LOCATED WITHIN GROWTH ZONE. QUICK MOVEMENT OF SYSTEM WITH
ONLY A 2-4 HOUR WINDOW FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL LIMIT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS TO 1-3 INCHES ALONG/NORTH OF HWY 30...DUSTING TO 1
INCH SOUTH.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW IS EXPECTED LATER TUESDAY MORNING INTO EARLY
IN THE AFTERNOON. DEPTH OF THIS MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MORE
IMPRESSIVE TOMORROW WITH FGEN/ISENTROPIC RESPONSE ACCENTUATED BY
STRENGTHENING UPPER JET NOSING INTO THE MID MS VALLEY. BUMPED POPS
CONSIDERABLY BTW 15-21Z AS SPREAD NARROWED IN 12Z MODEL SOLUTIONS
REGARDING TRACK/TIMING WITH AREAS ALONG/NORTH OF HWY 30 ONCE AGAIN
IN A GOOD LOCATION FOR A QUICK BURST OF 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW...LESS
SOUTH. AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW POSSIBLE BY THE AFTERNOON GIVEN FAIRLY
STRONG RISE/FALL COUPLET WITH WAVE. OTHERWISE...ONLY MINOR TWEAKS TO
COLD TEMPS/SKY COVER/WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM EST MON DEC 16 2013

ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO THE LONG TERM WITH THE
FIRST ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN CLOSE TO 2 WEEKS ARRIVING BY
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM SOMEWHERE IN THE
MIDWEST IS LOOKING INCREASINGLY LIKELY FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS SYSTEM
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY AS TRAVEL IMPACTS COULD BE
SIGNIFICANT ON A BUSY HOLIDAY TRAVEL WEEKEND.

DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...A HEALTHY WARM AIR ADVECTION REGIME
SETS UP ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM AND
ADVECTS ABOVE FREEZING SURFACE TEMPS INTO THE FORECAST AREA AS EARLY
AS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. A SURFACE WAVE WILL ADVECT ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA IN THE THURSDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME. DECENT ISENTROPIC
LIFT AND GULF MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WAVE WILL BREAK OUT SOME
RAIN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...ALTHOUGH A LACK OF UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT UNTIL THE WAVE IS WELL EAST OF OUR AREA WILL KEEP TOTAL
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS LESS THAN A QUARTER INCH. PRECIPITATION WILL
BE MOSTLY LIQUID EXCEPT FOR A FEW HOURS OF MIX POSSIBLE AT THE
ONSET. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MID 30 DEWPOINTS
ACROSS OUR AREA ON THURSDAY AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 40S ON
SATURDAY. DO THINK MODELS ARE BEING SOMEWHAT AGGRESSIVE WITH THE
NORTHWARD EXTENT OF THESE DEWPOINTS...BUT EVEN DEWPOINTS IN THE MID
TO UPPER 30S WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH OUR SNOW PACK. REMAINING SNOWPACK
SATURDAY EVENING IS LIKELY TO HAVE SOME IMPACT THE EXACT LOCATION OF
THE BAROCLINIC ZONE THAT WILL SETTLE ACROSS OUR AREA AND SET THE
STAGE FOR A WEEKEND STORM.

ON TO THE BIGGER STORM OVER THE WEEKEND...

DURING THE TIME THIS DISCUSSION HAS BEEN WRITTEN...THE 12Z EUROPEAN
MODEL SOLUTION CAME IN WITH AN EPIC SNOWSTORM ACROSS THE NW HALF OF
THE CWA. THIS SOLUTION WARRANTS LITTLE MORE THAN A CHUCKLE FOR
NOW...BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THIS. ALL MODELS ARE INDICATING A
STRONG STORM SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE MIDWEST TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF
THE WEEKEND. THIS STORM SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON OUR CWA REGARDLESS OF WHICH SIDE (COLD OR WARM) OF THE
SYSTEM WE ARE ON. EURO/GFS/CANADIAN ALL HAVE MONSTER QPF OUTPUT
WHICH IS LITTLE SURPRISE GIVEN THE PACIFIC MOISTURE FEED FROM THE
BAJA...A FORECAST 50-80 KT LLJ FEEDING MOISTURE FROM THE FAR
SOUTHERN GULF...AND FORECAST PWAT VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1 INCH. MODEL
CONSENSUS IS FOR A MOSTLY HEAVY RAIN EVENT ACROSS OUR CWA WHICH ON
TOP OF 0.5 TO 0.8 TENTHS OF AN INCH OF LIQUID WATER IN OUR SNOWPACK
AND POTENTIALLY STILL FROZEN GROUND TO NEAR 6 INCHES COULD CAUSE
SIGNIFICANT FLOODING CONCERNS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THE ALL RAIN
SCENARIO IS THE EUROPEAN MODEL WHICH KEEPS THE ARCTIC AIR WEDGED
INTO OUR FORECAST AREA. MODELS HAVE A GENERAL CONSENSUS OF A SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE TRACK ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER...THE ONLY DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SOLUTIONS IS A 1040 MB HIGH THAT THE EUROPEAN PARKS ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PLAINS DURING THE EVENT WHICH SUPPLIES A CONSTANT FEED
OF ARCTIC AIR INTO THIS SYSTEM. THIS WILL BE THE FEATURE TO WATCH AS
THIS STORM SYSTEM EVOLVES. THE STRENGTH AND POSITION OF THIS HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON OUR PRECIP TYPE.

EXPECT TO SEE THE LOW PRESSURE TRACK AND AMOUNT OF ARCTIC AIR
INTRUSION INTO THE SYSTEM CHANGE MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE COMING DAYS
SINCE THIS SYSTEM IS STILL 6 DAYS AWAY...BUT THE RAIN/SNOW LINE DOES
APPEAR LIKE IT WILL SETUP SOMEWHERE IN OR NEAR OUR CWA GOING INTO
THE WEEKEND. STAY TUNED TO SEE HOW THE FORECAST EVOLVES AHEAD OF
THIS POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1247 AM EST TUE DEC 17 2013

CLIPPER SNOWFALL HAS EXITED THE REGION. LINGERING LIFT AND LOSS OF
ICE ALOFT HAS RESULTED IN SOME POCKETS OF FREEZING DRIZZLE FROM
TIME TO TIME. CIGS/VSBYS HAVE BEEN SLOWLY DROPPING AT SEVERAL
SITES...WITH KFWA THE LATEST TO JOIN THE CROWD. BASED ON UPSTREAM
OBS AND LINGERING LL MSTR TO REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA...LIFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE HOURS
BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT WAVE FROM THE NW ALLOWS FOR SOME
IMPROVEMENT. LOW CIGS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AT FWA MUCH OF THE
PERIOD. AT KSBN...WORST CONDITIONS HAVE REMAINED SOUTH BUT ARE
TRYING TO CREEP NORTH. WILL MONITOR TRENDS BUT HAVE STAYED MORE
OPTIMISTIC FOR THE TIME BEING.

NEXT CLIPPER WILL MOVE THROUGH MID AM INTO EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH
VSBYS A MILE OR LESS AT BOTH SITES. POTENTIAL FOR A BIT OF BANDING
MUCH LIKE THIS PAST EVENING WHICH COULD DROP LOCAL VSBYS CLOSE TO
A HALF MILE. WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW ON INTRODUCING BUT COMBINATION
OF THIS AND INCREASING WINDS (BLOWING/DRIFTING ) SNOW COULD FORCE
VSBYS LOWER. SYNOPTIC SNOW SHOULD EXIT FWA AREA BY LATE
AFTERNOON...BUT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL KICK IN AROUND/AFTER
00Z AT KSBN AND WHILE BULK OF ACTIVITY MAY BE NORTH OF THE AIRPORT
SOME IMPACT SHOULD STILL BE FELT THROUGH 6Z BEFORE CONDITIONS
SLOWLY BECOME LESS FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT AND THE FLOW BEGINS
TO SHIFT MORE WESTERLY.
