AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
402 PM EST THU FEB 27 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 353 PM EST THU FEB 27 2014
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH TONIGHT AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVERSPREAD THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND
OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL RESULT IN CLEARING SKIES THIS EVENING AND
VERY COLD CONDITIONS THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. MODERATING
TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY AS SOUTHEAST WINDS DEVELOP
BEHIND THE DEPARTING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 353 PM EST THU FEB 27 2014
MAIN SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS WILL CENTER ON LINGERING LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS THIS EVENING AND TEMPERATURE/WIND CHILL TRENDS
LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER WITH CONTINUED MID LEVEL
SUBSIDENCE THIS EVENING WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIMIT LAKE EFFECT
ORGANIZATION. CELLULAR CONVECTIVE NATURE TO LAKE EFFECT WILL STILL
PROVIDE SOME BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVIER SNOW BURSTS OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. LOW LEVEL HEIGHT GRADIENT TO RAPIDLY WANE THIS EVENING WITH
SOME GUSTS TO 20 MPH PERSISTING JUST OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO
BEFORE DIMINISHING. GIVEN ABOVE FACTORS AND REPORTS OF
ACCIDENTS ACROSS THE AREA...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY ACROSS THE NORTH LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
LOW LEVEL ANTICYCLONE TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA TONIGHT...AND WITH
DECREASING SKY COVER/DIMINISHING WINDS CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IDEAL
FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING. QUESTIONS FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST STILL LEND
SOME LOWER CONFIDENCE TO LOW TEMPS TONIGHT HOWEVER...WITH MANY
LOCATIONS NOT LIKELY RECEIVING A NOTEWORTHY NEW SNOWCOVER OVER PAST
24 HOURS. BASED ON TIMING OF LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS...COLDEST
CONDITIONS STILL APPEAR TO BE MORE FAVORED ACROSS NORTHEAST PORTIONS
OF THE AREA WHERE HAVE MADE FEW CHANGES TO PREVIOUS MINS IN THE 8
BELOW TO 12 BELOW RANGE. WINDS TO BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS
EVENING...AND THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE AT LEAST A WINDOW WHERE
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY MORNING THAT WOULD SUPPORT WIND
CHILLS AS COLD AS 15 BELOW TO 20 BELOW. CONFIDENCE QUITE A BIT LOWER
ACROSS APPROXIMATELY SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE AREA WITH LESS SNOW
COVER...BUT WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR ALL OF
THE AREA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. OTHER WILDCARD IS THE
POSSIBILITY OF SOME INCREASING MID LEVEL CLOUD ACCOMPANYING ONSET OF
MID LEVEL WAA TOWARD MORNING...BUT THIS STILL APPEARS AS THOUGH IT
WOULD BE A FACTOR MAINLY OUTSIDE OF PEAK RADIATIONAL COOLING
PERIOD. RECORD LOWS FOR FEBRUARY 28TH ARE -4 AT FWA (1901) AND 2
AT SBN (1947). OTHERWISE...QUIET WEATHER FOR FRIDAY WITH DECENT
MODERATION EXPECTED AS MID LEVEL FLOW DEAMPLIFICATION ALLOWS
STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE TO SHIFT NORTHWARD.
&&
.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 353 PM EST THU FEB 27 2014
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO LONG TERM AS ACTIVE PATTERN AND BELOW
NORMAL TEMPS CONTINUE.
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES TO START THINGS OUT. MODELS HAVE
COME IN TO A BIT MORE AGREEMENT ON PRECIP CHANCES BEHIND FRONTAL
BOUNDARY/BAROCLINIC ZONE THAT WILL SWEEP THROUGH SATURDAY INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE STALLING SOMEWHERE NEAR OR SOUTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER. MAIN FOCUS FOR BEST CHANCES OF SNOW APPEAR TO BE ACROSS
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WHERE 1 TO POSSIBLY AS MUCH AS 3
INCHES OF SNOW COULD FALL WITH LESSER AMOUNTS SOUTH. OVERALL PAST
GRIDS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES NEEDED.
QUICKLY ON THIS SYSTEMS HEELS WILL BE WHAT LEFT OF A CURRENTLY
STRONG UPPER LOW WELL WEST OF CALIFORNIA. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE
ONSHORE SATURDAY AS AN OPEN WAVE AND CONTINUE EAST BEFORE BEING
DRAWN NE. MODELS SEEM TO WEAKEN THIS WITH TIME AS IT MOVES ACROSS
THE NORTHERN GULF STATES TO THE CAROLINAS BY MONDAY EVENING. PRETTY
ROBUST SURGE OF MSTR AND INCREASING LIFT STILL SIGNAL INCREASING
CHANCES FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL FOR PART IF NOT ALL THE AREA
STARTING SATURDAY NIGHT INTO AT LEAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND POSSIBLY
EARLY MONDAY. NO SIGNIFICANT WAVES DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTH TO
SIGNAL POTENTIAL NORTHWEST SHIFT IN TRACK AT THIS POINT. TRENDS
STILL SUGGEST THAT SE THIRD TO HALF OF THE AREA STANDS BEST CHANCE
FOR HIGHER ACCUMULATIONS WITH AT LEAST ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWFALL NOT
OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY. GFS MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH SWATH OF 6
INCHES OR MORE ACROSS S/SE AREAS AND LESSER AMOUNTS NORTH WITH ECMWF
MORE WIDESPREAD 2 TO 4 INCHES. WILL NEED TO MONITOR TRENDS AS SYSTEM
BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE RAOB NETWORK.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN ACROSS THE REGION BY TUESDAY AND BRING A
REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR THROUGH THURSDAY. NEXT SYSTEM OF
INTEREST WILL MOVE OUT OF THE GULF STATES AGAIN WITH A SIMILAR
OVERALL TRACK. OF NOTE IS A BIT MORE SUBSTANTIAL WAVE ACROSS
SOUTHERN CANADA ON SOME OF THE MODELS WHICH IN THEORY COULD PHASE AT
SOME POINT AND DRAW THE SYSTEM NW. FOR NOW WAY TO FAR OUT TO WORRY
ABOUT SO STUCK WILL ALLBLEND OF MODELS.
