ISSUED AT 438 AM EDT WED MAR 12 2014 A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL CHANGE RAIN TO SNOW OVER THE AREA TODAY AND BRING STRONG WINDS TO CENTRAL INDIANA.

TEMPERATURES WILL BRIEFLY REBOUND FRIDAY BUT THEN DROP BACK BELOW NORMAL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. && .NEAR TERM /TODAY/... ISSUED AT 438 AM EDT WED MAR 12 2014 FRONTOGENESIS MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES STILL LOOKS GREAT IN THE MODELS. DRY SLOT CURRENTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES IS CUTTING DOWN ON RAINFALL THERE...BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE THIS IS STARTING TO FILL BACK IN WITH SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHWEST. AS OF 4 AM PTYPE WAS STILL RAIN ACROSS THE AREA WITH A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE LOOKING A LITTLE LESS...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE ADVISORY AREA. SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE IS SHOWING THE SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH QUICKER...AND COLD AIR IS MOVING IN A BIT SLOWER /BUT NOT A LOT/. PUSHED BACK CHANGEOVER BY A COUPLE HOURS SO THAT LAFAYETTE WILL BE CHANGING OVER BETWEEN 5 AND 6 AM. INDY METRO SHOULD SEE CHANGEOVER AROUND 8-9 AM...AND THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES AROUND 11 AM. AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW COULD POSE A PROBLEM SHORTLY AFTER CHANGEOVER OCCURS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70...WHERE SNOWFALL RATES COULD BE HIGHER. WITH THE LOWER TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS CONSIDERED DROPPING SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES FROM WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...BUT WITH THE POTENTIAL STILL THERE FOR BLOWING SNOW WITH 45 MPH+ GUSTS POSSIBLE DECIDED TO LEAVE THEM IN. NORTHERN COUNTIES COULD SEE 3-4 WITH LOCALLY 5 INCH AMOUNTS WITH THE STRONG FRONTOGENESIS BAND MOVING THROUGH BETWEEN NOW AND 15Z.

ON THE BACK SIDE OF HIGH PRESSURE STARTING LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY SHOULD SEE WARM ADVECTION AND THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE 50S FOR HIGHS ON FRIDAY. FRIDAY NIGHT LOW PRESSURE PASSING NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT THROUGH CENTRAL INDIANA. FORCING WITH THE FRONT IS FAIRLY WEAK AND UPPER FORCING STAYS WELL NORTH OF THE AREA. THUS TRENDED POPS DOWN TO SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA WITH A LOW CHANCE IN THE NORTH AND EAST. THIS SET OF MODEL RUNS BRINGS COLD AIR IN A LITTLE FASTER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS SO CHANGED OVER TO A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IN THE NORTH AFTER 6Z. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...

A COLD FRONT WILL BE THROUGH THE AREA AT THAT POINT...AND ALL PRECIP SHOULD BE SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA BY SATURDAY MORNING.
