AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
951 AM EST MON FEB 9 2015

.UPDATE...

THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 401 AM EST MON FEB 9 2015

AS AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE EXITS THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING SOME LIGHT
DRIZZLE AND FREEZING DRIZZLE MAY CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL INDIANA. THEN...DRY BUT CLOUDY WEATHER WILL RETURN LATER THIS
MORNING AND CONTINUE AT LEAST THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. A WEAK UPPER
LEVEL WAVE MAY BRING SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA THROUGH
MID WEEK...THEN POSSIBLY AGAIN ON SATURDAY. OTHERWISE MUCH OF THE
WEEK WILL BE FAIRLY UNEVENTFUL...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BECOME MUCH
COLDER LATE IN THE WEEK AS A LARGE AREA OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
SINKS INTO THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /EARLY THIS MORNING THROUGH THE REST OF TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 951 AM EST MON FEB 9 2015

WILL CARRY DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE THROUGH MID MORNING PER
CONTINUED SPORADIC OBS OF SAME. THAT SAID...REPORTS OR LACK
THEREOF INDICATE THAT ANY IMPACT HAS NOT BEEN SEVERE. REMAINDER OF
FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.

ISSUED AT 401 AM EST MON FEB 9 2015

BEFORE THE UPPER TROUGH COMPLETELY MOVES OUT OF THE AREA THIS
MORNING ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS ALLOWING THE FORMATION OF
SOME DRIZZLE AND EVEN PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE DROPPED TO JUST
BELOW FREEZING. THE BULK OF THE FORCING SHOULD BE EXITING THE
AREA IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS SO ENDED ALL MENTION OF DRIZZLE AROUND 12Z.

AS FOR ANY CONCERNS WITH THE PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE...THINKING IS
THAT PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES ARE STILL WARM...SO NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN
THE WAY OF TRAVEL ISSUES. HOWEVER...ELEVATED SURFACES STILL MIGHT
GET SOME SLICK SPOTS...SO WILL MENTION THIS IN THE FIRST PERIOD
OF THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK (HWO).

OTHERWISE THE REST OF TODAY SHOULD BE DRY...BUT STILL CLOUDY AS THE
SURFACE LOW AND BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW SLOWLY DEPART FARTHER FROM THE
REGION THROUGH THE DAY.

A BLEND OF GUIDANCE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES SEEMS REASONABLE. HIGHS
WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO CURRENT TEMPERATURES...AND IN SOME
LOCALES THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE WILL ACTUALLY BE THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR
THE DAY AS MORE COLD AIR ADVECTS ACROSS THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 401 AM EST MON FEB 9 2015

TRENDED TOWARD MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES BY LATE NIGHT AND TUESDAY. AS FOR
TEMPERATURES...TRENDED LOWS COOLER THAN MAVMOS DUE TO SOME EXPECTED
RADIATIONAL COOLING AND GENERALLY STUCK CLOSE TO GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS.

THIS FORECAST PERIOD REMAINS MOSTLY DRY UNTIL WED/WED NIGHT WHEN A
UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...SOME VERY LOW CHANCES FOR
POPS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FAR NORTH. POPS MAY BE A MIX
WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO ALL RAIN AS TEMPERATURES WARM
DURING THE DAY...AND THEN BACK TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND/OR
FLURRIES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS FROM THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 401 AM EST MON FEB 9 2015

THE LONG TERM WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY MUCH COOLER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AS UPPER TROUGHING OVER THE EASTERN U.S. ALLOWS COLD
CANADIAN AIR TO SPILL INTO INDIANA. THE CYCLONIC FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR
SMALL CHANCES FOR SNOW IN THE NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES
THURSDAY...FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY AS SMALL WAVES MOVE THROUGH THE
UPPER TROUGH. OVERALL THOUGH NOT MUCH FORCING EVIDENT THROUGH THE
LONG TERM AND THE MAJORITY OF IT SHOULD BE DRY WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES. DROPPED TEMPERATURES FROM THE INITIALIZATION AT TIMES
DURING THE LONG TERM WITH MODELS AGREEING ON STRONG UPPER TROUGH
USHERING IN VERY COLD /-20 AND BELOW/ 850 MB TEMPERATURES THURSDAY
AND AGAIN SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 091500Z IND TAFS/...

ONLY MINOR TWEAKS TO THE ONGOING IND TAF FORECAST. PATCHY FZDZ IS
EXPECTED TO END LATE THIS MORNING AS MVFR CIGS UPSTREAM BEGIN TO
WORK INTO THE IND AREA. THUS A FEW MORE HOURS OF IFR UNTIL THOSE
HIGHER MVFR CIGS ARRIVE AND FZDZ COMES TO AN END.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW

/DISCUSSION FOR 091200Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 607 AM EST MON FEB 9 2015

IFR TO BEGIN AT THE SITES WITH LOW CEILINGS. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE
FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING THROUGH AROUND 14-15Z AT KLAF AND 16Z
AT KIND AND KHUF AND FINALLY 17Z AT KBMG. AT THESE TIMES EXPECT TO
SEE CEILINGS LIFT TO LOW END MVFR WHERE THEY SHOULD REMAIN FOR THE
REST OF THE DAY. TIME HEIGHTS SHOW DRYING MOVING IN DURING THE NIGHT
TONIGHT AND MAV GUIDANCE SHOWS CEILINGS RISING TO VFR LATE TONIGHT.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS LOOKS SIMILAR AND SREF PROBABILITIES ARE EVEN
MORE OPTIMISTIC BUT MET GUIDANCE STAYS LOWER. WITH UPPER RIDGING
BUILDING IN FOR A BIT TONIGHT WILL GO WITH THE MORE OPTIMISTIC
TIMING OF VFR ARRIVING SOMETIME AFTER 6Z FOR THE SITES. NORTHERLY
WIND GUSTS SHOULD PICK UP TO AROUND 20-22 KTS AFTER 15-17Z OR SO AND
WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE AFTER 0Z TONIGHT.
