AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
633 PM EST TUE JAN 29 2013

.AVIATION.../00Z TAFS/

CDFNT OVER IL THIS EVE WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS NRN INDIANA
TONIGHT AS AN INTENSIFYING LOW LIFTS NE ALONG IT. MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE AT NOSE OF LLJ WAS RESULTING IN A BAND OF SHOWERS AND
TSTMS FROM SE MI TO NWRN INDIANA ATTM. THIS BAND SHOULD LIFT
SLOWLY NORTH THIS EVE AS LLJ INTENSIFIES AHEAD OF THE DVLPG SFC
LOW. THIS AREA OF SHOWERS SHOULD JUST IMPACT SBN THIS EVE WITH DRY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT FWA. A LINE OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED TSTMS
WILL ACCOMPANY THE CDFNT AS IT MOVES SLOWLY EAST ACROSS NRN
INDIANA LATE TONIGHT. FROPA EXPECTED AROUND 09Z AT SBN AND 12Z AT
FWA. MOST OF THE STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LLJ SHOULD
REMAIN ELEVATED... BUT A FEW STRONGER GUSTS COULD REACH THE SFC...
ESPECIALLY AROUND FROPA. GIVEN SUCH A STRONG LLJ (INCRSG TO 70KT)
OVER THE AREA... LLWS POTENTIAL WILL BE HIGH TONIGHT. GENERALLY
MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED UNTIL FROPA... WITH IFR DURING PERIODS OF
HEAVIER SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH THE TERMINALS. ABOUT A 6HR PERIOD
OF POST-FRONTAL IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED... FOLLOWED BY MVFR THE
REST OF THE DAY. AS THE DEEPENING LOW MOVES NE ACROSS THE GRTLKS
WED... STRONG WLY SFC WINDS SHOULD DEVELOP OVER THE AREA WITH
GUSTS AROUND 30KT.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 335 PM EST TUE JAN 29 2013/

SHORT TERM... / LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY /

WILD LATE JANUARY WX THIS PERIOD WITH FLOODING AND SLIGHT RISK FOR
SEVERE WX THE MAIN CONCERNS TONIGHT...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
IMPACT AREAS MAINLY WEST OF INTERSTATE 69 IN INDIANA AND SW LOWER
MICHIGAN INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON...LIFTING INTO MAINLY OUR
NORTHWESTERN ZONES EARLY THIS EVENING. HIGHLY UNUSUAL MOIST/MILD
ENVIRONMENT WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE MID/UPPER 50S AND PWATS TO
1.30 INCHES, SMALLER SCALE MID LEVEL PERTURBATIONS IN DEEP SOUTHWEST
FLOW, AND DEEP MOISTURE CONVERGENCE HAVE COMBINED TO FORCE THIS
PRECIP WITH LOCALIZED RAINFALL AMOUNTS EXCEEDING A HALF INCH
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. STEEPER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AND 50-60 KNOTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR HAVE ALLOWED FOR SOME PRETTY
DECENT CORES IN STRONGER CELLS WITH HAIL A POSSIBILITY...MOSTLY
BELOW SEVERE LIMITS AND ISOLATED.

ATTENTION BY LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TURNS TO
THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SCT THUNDER THAT IS
ALREADY TAKING SHAPE ALONG A DEEPENING BAROCLINIC ZONE...AHEAD OF A
SOUTHERN PLAINS INTENSE PV ANOMALY AND JET STREAK ENERGY THAT WILL
EJECT NORTHEAST INTO THE MID MS VALLEY BY LATER TONIGHT. IMPRESSIVE
220-240 METER 12 HR 500 MB HEIGHT FALLS WITH THIS WAVE WILL INDUCE
CYCLOGENESIS AND A ~80 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET BY LATER TONIGHT! THE
RESULTING STRONG DEEP LAYER FORCING/FLOW AND EXCELLENT MOISTURE
TRANSPORT SHOULD SUPPORT A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN. HOWEVER...MODELS
HAVE TRENDED A LITTLE FARTHER WEST AND SLOWER WITH THE HEAVIEST
SWATH OF RAIN NOW EXPECTED ACROSS ILLINOIS AS LINE OF
CONVECTION/RAIN NOW LOOKS TO BE MORE TRANSITORY LOCALLY. STILL OPTED
TO CONTINUE WITH THE FLOOD WATCH EVERYWHERE GIVEN THE CONVECTIVE
NATURE AND POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED 1 TO 3 INCH AMOUNTS...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE IWX CWA. THE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE
THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS ALONG ANY PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTIVE
LINE SEGMENTS IF THEY SURVIVE INTO OUR AREA. LATEST RAP/HRRR/NAM
ITERATIONS SUGGEST MUCAPE UP TO 500 J/KG WITH SHEAR OFF THE CHARTS.
A LIMITING FACTOR WHICH KEEPS THIS RISK IN THE SLIGHT CATEGORY WILL
BE THE LACK OF ANY SFC BASED INSTABILITY. STILL SUCH STRONG
UNIDIRECTIONAL BACKGROUND FLOW WITH HIGHLY ANOMALOUS FLOW/MOISTURE
DOES HINT AT A POSSIBLE THIN LINE SEVERE WIND EVENT (ISO TORNADO?)
ACROSS AT LEAST OUR INDIANA ZONES LATER THIS EVENING/EARLY
OVERNIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS CONCERN IN THE HWO.

AREAS OF DRIZZLE/LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW AS SYSTEM
MID LEVEL DRY SLOT ADVECTS IN WITH DEEPENING SFC LOW TRACKING INTO
CENTRAL MICHIGAN. BIGGEST CHANGE TO THE FORECAST TOMORROW WAS TO
TREND WARMER WITH FALLING TEMPS AS COLD AIR BEHIND PRIMARY COLD
FRONT IS SLOWER TO MOVE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ALSO COULD SEE
SOME DENSE FOG ACROSS FAR SW LOWER MI AND NW INDIANA TOMORROW
MORNING AS SFC CYCLONE TRACKS OVER OR JUST WEST OF SBN/BEH.
OTHERWISE...WINDY WEDNESDAY AFTN/EVE WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND
ISALLOBARIC PUSH BEHIND COLD FRONT.

LONG TERM...

..THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

ONGOING LAKE EFFECT EVENT WILL BE PRIMARY FOCUS OF LONG TERM PERIOD.
INITIAL ARCTIC AIR SURGE WILL BE IN PLACE THURSDAY MORNING WITH
SFC-850MB DELTA T VALUES INTO LOWER 20S. INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL BE
RATHER LOW INITIALLY WITH SHORT WNW FETCH. DENDRITIC GROWTH
ZONE...DGZ...DOES LOOK TO BE SATURATED IN AREA OF GOOD LIFT SO
EXPECT LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY TO STILL GENERATE SNOW SHOWERS WITH
SOME ACCUMS DURING THE DAY. SHORT WAVE WILL APPROACH LATER THURSDAY
FROM THE NORTH AND LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BACK AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE
WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR. MORE ORGANIZATION EXPECTED IN WAKE
OF THIS WAVE THURSDY NIGHT. SECONDARY COLD FRONT AND ARCTIC AIR
SURGE THURDAY EVENING WILL INCREASE DELTA T VALUES FURTHER WITH
SFC-850MB CLIMBING INTO MID 20S AND SFC-700MB NEARING 30C. LAKE
INDUCED CAPE VALUES INCREASE TO 600 J/KG ALONG WITH RISING INVERSION
HEIGHTS AND SATURATED DGZ. FLOW WILL STILL BE NW BUT GIVEN OTHER
FAVORABLE FACTORS EXPECT MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER
BANDS OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

ACCUMS FROM THIS LAKE EVENT LOOK TO BE BORDERLINE BETWEEN ADVISORY
AND WARNING...STRETCHED OUT OVER SEVERAL PERIODS. HEAVIEST SNOW
SHOWERS EXPECTED IN THE THURSDAY NIGHT TO FRIDAY MORNING PERIOD WHEN
3 TO 5 INCHES LOOKS VERY REASONABLE IN SNOWBELT REGION. TOTAL
ACCUMULATED LAKE EFFECT SNOW FROM THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY COULD BE
UPWARDS OF 8 INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY WATCH
HEADLINES AT THIS TIME GIVEN 4TH INTO 5TH PERIOD TIMING AND ALLOW
ANOTHER MODEL RUN.

WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF FAST MOVING CLIPPER SYSTEM MAY BRING
SOME LIGHT SNOW FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. BRIEF WARM UP EXPECTED
MONDAY WITH HIGHS BACK INTO UPPER 30S. THIS LOOKS TO BE SHORT AS YET
ANOTHER SHORT WAVE AND COLD FRONT WILL BRING TEMPS BACK CLOSERT TO
SEASONABLE NORMS FOR TUE. ALLBLEND LOW END CHANCE POPS WITH THIS
FRONT WITH LIMITED MOISTURE.
