AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
803 PM EST FRI JAN 17 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 800 PM EST FRI JAN 17 2014

LIGHT SNOW WILL LINGER ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA...MICHIGAN AND
OHIO THROUGH MORNING WITH A DUSTING OF SNOW. LOWS OVERNIGHT WILL
DROP TO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO...CLIMBING INTO THE TEENS AND
LOWER 20S ON SATURDAY.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL DIVE OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO
THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY ON SATURDAY BRINGING YET ANOTHER ROUND OF
SNOW TO THE REGION LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 338 PM EST FRI JAN 17 2014

WELL ESTABLISHED AND ENTRENCHED TROF OVER THE EASTERN US AND
RIDGE ALONG THE WEST COAST OF NAM WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM. THIS PATTERN CONTINUES TO BRING WITH IT A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS
STREAM OF SHORT WAVES AND REINFORCING COLD AIR. AS A RESULT THE
INSTABILITY IN THE CORE OF THE TROF WILL SUPPORT STRATUS AND
INSTABILITY SNOW SHOWERS. THE NEXT CLIPPER WILL SWEEP INTO THE
GREAT LAKES LATER TONIGHT AND ROUND THE BASE OF THE TROF OVER THE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THIS NEXT SYSTEM IS
SHOWING UP WELL IN THE WATER VAPOR AND IR SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
THE NAM/GFS/WRF ALL HAVE IT WELL INITIALIZED IN THE 300MB HEIGHT
CONTOURS AS WELL AS THE 320K ISENTROPIC SURFACES. WHILE THERE IS
NOT AN OVER ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...AS NOTED IN THE
PAST FEW DAYS...EACH SYSTEM HAS BEEN VERY EFFICIENT AT SQUEEZING
OUT WHATEVER MOISTURE EXISTS AND GIVEN THE COLD AIRMASS...LOW
DENSITY SNOWFALL COMBINED WITH ANY WINDS HAS CREATED FAIRLY
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS.

FORTUNATELY THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS NOT AS TIGHT OVER OUR
AREA...SO IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WINDS WILL BE PARTICULARLY GUSTY.
HOWEVER...WITH THE LOW DENSITY SNOW...COMBINED WITH SUSTAINED
EASTERLY TO NORTH-EASTERLY WINDS WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF DRIFTING AND
WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING...COULD SEE BLACK ICE FORMATION ON
EXPOSED ROADWAYS AND OTHER SURFACES.

DIURNAL TEMPERATURE RANGE WILL BE SUPPRESSED THROUGH THE PERIOD AS
WELL AND DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE MUCH MORE THAN A 10 DEGREE SWING FROM
OVERNIGHT LOWS TO DAYTIME HIGHS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 338 PM EST FRI JAN 17 2014

NOT MUCH CHANGE TO RECENT THINKING FOR LONG TERM FORECAST. MASSIVE
UPSTREAM RIDGE OVER WEST COAST AND LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER MIDWEST TO
PERSIST WITH TEMPS WELL BELOW NORMAL AND NUMEROUS SHORT WAVES
THROUGH THIS PERIOD AND BEYOND.

CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL INDIANA ON SATURDAY
EVENING WITH SNOW BEGINNING TO DIMINISH THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.
12Z RUNS SEEMED TO STABILIZE WITH TRACK OF LOW BUT STILL A LITTLE
CAUTIOUS WITH THIS. BEST SNOWFALL WILL BE OVER SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST
AREAS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES SATURDAY EVENING BEFORE
SYSTEM EXITS.

QUIET WEATHER SUNDAY BUT BECOMING BREEZY WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION
ALOFT AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD. TEMPS WILL WARM INTO
UPPER 20S AND EVEN SOME LOWER 30S POSSIBLE IN FAR SOUTHWEST BUT
THIS MAY BE TEMPERED BY SNOW COVER AND STRONG LOW LEVEL INVERSION.
MODELS CONTINUE TO SLAM ARCTIC FRONT INTO NORTHERN AREAS TOWARD
12Z MONDAY MAKING HIGHS COMPLICATED AS EXPECT TEMPS TO EVENTUALLY
FALL BEHIND THIS FRONT. COLD AIR ADVECTION SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED
SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN TODAY BUT AWAY FROM LAKE NOT
EXPECTING MUCH ACCUMULATION. DELTA T VALUES QUICKLY RISE AS 850MB
TEMPS DROP TO -20C BY END OF DAY WITH NNW FETCH. AS WE HAVE BEEN
ADVERTISING A PROLONGED AND SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT EVENT REMAINS
POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...NUMEROUS SHORT WAVES BEING RESOLVED IN MODELS
NOW INDICATE WIND FIELDS MAY BE BACKING AND VEERING WITH EACH WAVE
AND THUS TRANSITORY BANDS MAY HELP LIMIT AMOUNTS IN ANY ONE
LOCATION. THESE DETAILS CANNOT BE NAILED DOWN AT THIS TIME RANGE
SO HAVE KEPT HIGHER CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS IN TYPICAL LAKE EFFECT
AREAS AND WE WILL REFINE ALONG WITH ANY NEEDED HEADLINES NEXT WEEK
AS EVENT PANS OUT. TIMING EACH SHORT WAVE DURING REMAINDER OF LONG
TERM IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE SO FOR MOST PART ACCEPTED ALLBLEND POPS
WITH SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS.

COLD TEMPERATURES ARE THE STORY FOR MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND EVEN
WELL BEYOND INTO THE WEEK 2 PERIOD. MODELS IN RATHER GOOD AGREEMENT
ON THE PROLONGED COLD PATTERN. USED MORE OF A RAWBLEND FOR TEMPS
RATHER THAN ALLBLEND THROUGH MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. LOW TEMPS DROPPING
BELOW ZERO OUTSIDE OF CLOUDY AREAS STILL EXPECTED ALONG WITH HIGHS
ONLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS WHERE DEEPER SNOWPACK AND COLDER LOWS
OCCUR. BRIEF AND RELATIVE WARM UP BY END OF WEEK AHEAD OF WHAT LOOKS
TO BE ANOTHER REINFORCED SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR...BUT THIS MEANS HIGHS
LIKELY ONLY REACHING LOW TO MID 20S BY FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 759 PM EST FRI JAN 17 2014

CYCLONIC LOW LEVEL FLOW TO RELAX OVERNIGHT AND SFC WINDS BACK
FURTHER TO SOUTH BY LATE SAT MORNING. SOME CONCERN THAT MOISTURE
UPSTREAM ACRS FAR NERN IL/NWRN IN BENEATH SUBSIDENCE INVERSION TO
PROMULGATE RETURN OF HIGH END MVFR CIGS AT KSBN LATER TONIGHT/BYND
06 UTC...THOUGH CERTAINLY ABOVE ALT FUELING REQRMNTS. APPROACH OF
CLIPPER SYSTEM DIVING INTO CNTL IL LATE IN FORECAST PD TO BRING
SIG REDUCTIONS IN VSBYS DUE TO SN...LKLY INTO IFR RANGE.

IN...NONE.
MI...NONE.
OH...NONE.
