.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 337 PM EST TUE JAN 21 2014

FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW MAJOR
CHANGES MADE EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON TO THE GRIDS/FCST AS SINGLE BAND
HAS LINGERED LONGER THAN EXPECTED OVER NE IL. VSBY SATELLITE AND
RADAR RETURNS INDICATE WIND SHEAR IS INCREASING IN THE CLOUD
LAYER...WITH OVERALL SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY DECREASING. NCEP HIGH RES
MODELS REALLY STRUGGLING HANDLING THE DEVELOPMENT AND POSITION OF
THE SINGLE BAND. 900 MB ARW/EAST WINDS APPEAR REASONABLE WITH THE
TRACK AND MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DECREASE AND TRANSLATE EAST AS WINDS BACK RAPIDLY AHEAD OF THE NEXT
CLIPPER SYSTEM. IN THIS REGARD...LOWERED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
CONSIDERABLY TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...LOWS TONIGHT ARE CHALLENGING
GIVEN INITIAL CLEAR/PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER MOST AREAS WITH FRESH
SNOW COVER. WENT WITH LOWEST TEMPERATURES THIS EVENING...THEN STEADY
OR RISING OVERNIGHT AS WINDS BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST AND AS UPSTREAM
CLOUDS STREAM INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST.

&&

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 337 PM EST TUE JAN 21 2014

NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO LONG TERM AS SERIES OF CLIPPERS AND BOUTS
OF COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE WITH MODEL VARIANCE RAMPANT.

SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN CANADA WILL DROP RAPIDLY SE INTO
THE GREAT LAKES BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MOST MODELS DEPICT A RATHER
WAVE AND ACCOMPANY INCREASING JET STREAK EVENTUALLY EXCEEDING 100
KTS AS IT ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. WHILE THE OVERALL SFC LOW
WILL BE RATHER IMPRESSIVE WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT LIKELY TO
RAISE HAVOC ON THE REGION...THE EXACT TRACK REMAINS IN QUESTION WITH
MODELS SHOWING SFC LOW IN A VARIETY OF LOCATIONS AT 00Z THU
(GFS/LOCAL WRF NEAR TRAVERSE CITY...ECMWF WEST OF KGRR...NAM NW OF
KGRR...SREF EAST OF LUDINGTON MI). AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE WITH
CLIPPERS THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL FALL ALONG AND N OF THE SFC LOW
TRACK WHICH GIVES THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS FAR NE SECTIONS AT BEST.
DECENT SHOT OF OMEGA SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA WITH ACCOMPANYING FRONT
LATE AFTN/EARLY EVE THAT COULD BRING A QUICK BURST OF LIGHT SNOW TO
THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. AS A RESULT...HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THINGS
GENERALLY AS IS SINCE A MORE NORTHERLY TRACK WOULD FORCE DECREASE IN
POPS ACROSS THE AREA AND MORE SOUTHERLY A SUBSEQUENT INCREASE.
GENERAL 1 TO 2 INCHES EXPECTED AT THIS POINT...MAINLY N/NW AREAS
WITH SOME ENHANCEMENT POSSIBLE OFF THE LAKE. FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO
WHAT SHOULD ANOTHER INTENSE LAKE EFFECT BAND OF SIMILAR OR POSSIBLY
GREATER MAGNITUDE THAT WILL TAKE SHAPE MID LAKE AND THEN MOVE INTO
NW PARTS OF THE AREA. EXACT ALIGNMENT OF BAND WILL DEPEND ON SFC LOW
TRACK BUT ALL TRANSITION BAND TO A NW-SE CONFIGURATION THAT IMPACTS
AT LEAST PARTS OF THE AREA. CURRENT BAND WAS SHOWING CONVECTIVE TOPS
AROUND 10000 FT. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUGGESTING UPWARDS OF 12 TO 14,000
FT TOPS AS EXTREME INSTABILITY( LK-H85 DELTA T'S LOW 20S AND LK-H7
LOW TO MID 30S)...DGZ IN LOW LEVELS AND EXTREME OMEGA. BAND MAY
DEVELOP TO OUR WEST IN LAKE/PORTER COUNTY AND SHIFT EAST OR COULD
MOVE RIGHT INTO THE AREA AT THE ONSET. PEAK TIME FRAME FOR THE BAND
WILL BE LATE WEDS NGT INTO THURSDAY MORNING BUT WILL LIKELY BE
TRANSITORY MAKING EXACT AMOUNTS TOUGH. POTENTIAL DEFIANTLY THERE
FOR SIG ACCUMULATIONS. WILL PUNT TO OVERNIGHT SHIFT TO LOOK AT MODEL
TRENDS WITH CLIPPER AND DECIDE IF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH IS
WARRANTED. FOR THE ENTIRE AREA...WINDS WILL PICK UP NEAR AND BEHIND
THE LOW WITH BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW BECOMING A PROBLEM. GRIDS ALREADY
REFLECT THIS.

AS THE UPPER TROUGH EXITS BY THURSDAY NIGHT...LAKE EFFECT WILL END
AND INCREASE IN TEMPS WILL COMMENCE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY BUT NOT
BEFORE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS NIGHT IN TERMS OF WIND CHILLS BY FRI
AM WHEN LOWS WILL DIP TO 5 TO 9 BELOW ZERO AND WIND CHILLS DROP INTO
THE 20 TO 25 BELOW ZERO. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS A FAIRLY SURE BET
AND NEED FOR WARNING WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED. HIGHS FRIDAY WILL
WARM SLIGHTLY INTO THE MID TO UPPER TEENS AND GAIN ANOTHER 5 TO 10
DEGREES ON SATURDAY BEFORE PIECES OF POLAR AIRMASS BREAK OFF FROM
NORTHERN CANADA AND COME SCREAMING SOUTHWARD. HIGHS BY NEXT WEEK
WILL BE BACK INTO THE TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS WITH WINDY CONDITIONS
AT TIMES AS MORE CLIPPER/LAKE EFFECT EVENT OCCUR.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1157 PM EST TUE JAN 21 2014

LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND CONTG TO CAUSE IFR CONDITIONS WEST OF KSBN
EARLY THIS MORNING. BACKING WINDS ALOFT SHOULD CAUSE THIS WKNG
BAND TO MOVE EAST EARLY THIS MORNING CAUSING OCNL MVFR CONDITIONS
IN -SHSN AT KSBN. OTRWS VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONT ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING. SHRTWV/CDFNT DROPPING SE ACROSS THE WRN
GRTLKS TODAY SHOULD CAUSE SNOW WITH IFR CONDITIONS TO OVERSPREAD
NRN INDIANA THIS AFTN. SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF THIS EVE AS SYSTEM
PASSES, BUT NW WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE STRONG/GUSTY CAUSING
SOME BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW. IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONT THROUGH
THE EVE AT SBN WHERE LAKE EFFECT SHSN LIKELY BEHIND THE FRONT.
