AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
625 PM EST MON DEC 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 622 PM EST MON DEC 29 2014

A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER SOUTHERN ALBERTA WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST TO WESTERN NEBRASKA BY TUESDAY EVENING. THIS SYSTEM WILL
CAUSE COLDER AIR TO CONTINUE TO FILTER INTO OUR AREA RESULTING IN
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS... MAINLY OVER NORTHWEST INDIANA AND
SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN... WHERE AN INCH OR TWO OF ACCUMULATION IS
POSSIBLE.  LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S...
WITH HIGHS TUESDAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 302 PM EST MON DEC 29 2014

A STRONG COLD FRONT WAS MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA THIS
AFTERNOON. A NARROW BAND OF LOW CLOUDS WAS ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT.
MUCH DRIER AIR WILL SPREAD INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT.
HOWEVER...WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME NORTHWEST...AND SHOULD ALLOW
LAKE CLOUDS WITH LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO MOVE INLAND. SOME
FACTORS FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW FOR THIS EVENT INCLUDE EARLY
PRECONDITIONING FROM LAKE SUPERIOR...FAVORABLE DENDRITIC GROWTH IN
THE CLOUD LAYER AND 850 MB/DELTA T VALUES RISING TO 18C TUESDAY.
HOWEVER...WIND SHEAR IN THE CLOUD LAYER AND LOW INVERSION HEIGHTS
SHOULD LIMIT SHOW ACCUMULATIONS. SO CONSIDERING THESE FACTORS...
EXPECT SNOW AMOUNTS UP TO AROUND AN INCH OVER FAR SOUTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN WITH LESSER AMOUNTS FARTHER INLAND BY LATE TUESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH BELOW NORMAL AS MUCH COLDER AIR CONTINUES
TO FLOW SOUTH OUT OF SOUTHERN CANADA INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 302 PM EST MON DEC 29 2014

LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW CHANCES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AND
PRECIP CHANCES TOWARD THE WEEKEND CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS OF THE
LONG TERM PERIOD.

ONGOING LAKE EFFECT SNOW CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH STARTING 00Z
THURSDAY...AS EQUILIBRIUM HEIGHTS BEGIN TO FALL AND LOW LEVEL FLOW
BACKS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...WITH A WEAK WAVE DROPPING
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION...THE BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE DURING THE 00Z TO 12Z WEDNESDAY
TIMEFRAME...WHERE CONTINUED FORECAST AMOUNTS UP TO A HALF INCH OR SO
ACROSS MAINLY BERRIEN AND NW CASS COUNTIES IN MICHIGAN. FLOW BACKS
WSW FROM 12Z WED TO 00Z THU WITH WAA AND DRYING LOW
LEVELS...EFFECTIVELY SHUTTING OFF LAKE EFFECT FOR THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH THE DAY. WEDNESDAY STILL APPEARS TO BE THE COLDEST DAY OF
THE LONG TERM PERIOD...WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO REACH THE 20S.

ANOTHER WEAK NORTHERN STREAM WAVE WILL DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHICH MAY BRING SNOW SHOWER CHANCES TO
EXTREME NORTHERN BERRIEN AND NW CASS COUNTIES. HOWEVER GIVEN THE
CONTINUED BACKED WSW FLOW AND POOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PROFILE...ONLY
A SLIGHT CHANCE MENTION REMAINS FOR THOSE PORTIONS OF SW LOWER
MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

FORECAST PICTURE CONTINUES TO BE MUDDLED BEYOND THURSDAY
NIGHT...WITH RESPECT TO EVOLUTION OF SW CONUS TROF AND NORTHERN
STREAM WAVES EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. STILL A GREAT
AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY W/ THE EJECTION OF THE SW CONUS TROF THROUGH
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS. WHILE MOST MODEL SOLUTIONS CONTINUE
TO SHOW THE SLOWING TREND...DIFFERENCES IN THE PHASING OF THE WAVE
W/ THE NORTHERN STREAM YIELDING A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST AT THIS
TIME. 12Z ECMWF RELEASES A PIECE OF THE SW CONUS ENERGY THROUGH THE
PLAINS INTO THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT...W/ PRIMARY UPPER
LOW STAYING SUPPRESSED ACROSS SRN AZ/NM INTO TX. AS THE NORTHERN
PIECE OF THIS ENERGY SHEARS OUT ACROSS THE REGION...THE SOUTHERN
PIECE SHEARS OUT AS WELL AND STAYS SUPPRESSED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE EASTERN CONUS. WITH THIS SOLUTION...ANY PRECIP CHANCES
AFTER THURSDAY WOULD HINGE ON A SERIES NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES
DROPPING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE LAKES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOUTHERN
ENERGY PRECIP CHANCES WOULD REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
12Z GFS/GEFS AND GEM IS MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE ENTIRE SW CONUS
TROF...PHASING W/ NORTHERN STREAM WAVE ACROSS THE MIDWEST/GREAT
LAKES. THIS SOLUTION WOULD YIELD INCREASE PRECIP CHANCES SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. WITH THE CONTINUED VARIABILITY IN THE MODEL
SOLUTION...ACCEPTED CONSENSUS BLEND POPS AND TEMPS THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. NO MAJOR CHANGES NOTED IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 612 PM EST MON DEC 29 2014

MVFR STRATO CU DECK EXPECTED TO EXPAND SEWD ACROSS NRN INDIANA
LATE TONIGHT AND TUE MORNING AS NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS NW.
INVERSION HEIGHT EXPECTED TO REMAIN BLO 5KFT SO EXPECT LAKE EFFECT
SHSN WILL BE LIGHT WITH JUST MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS AT KSBN AND
BANDS DISSIPATING BEFORE REACHING AS FAR INLAND AS KFWA.
