AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
300 PM EST THU NOV 12 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 300 PM EST THU NOV 12 2015

WINDY AND MUCH COLDER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY BEHIND AN INTENSE STORM SYSTEM LIFTING INTO SOUTHEAST
CANADA. AREAS OF DRIZZLE AND LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
NORTHERN ZONES...POTENTIALLY MIXING WITH A FEW SNOW SHOWERS ON
FRIDAY. LOWS TONIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE MID 30S TO LOW 40S...WITH
HIGHS ON FRIDAY RANGING BETWEEN THE UPPER 30S AND MID 40S. FAIR
WEATHER AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES ARE THEN EXPECTED FOR THIS
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 PM EST THU NOV 12 2015

TIGHT LOW LEVEL HEIGHT GRADIENT IN WAKE OF DEEP CYCLONE LIFTING OVER
LAKE HURON WILL ENSURE MORE WINDY/RAW CONDITIONS INTO TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY. EXPANSIVE STRATOCU DECK AND RESULTING LIMITATIONS TO THE
MIXED LAYER HAVE HELD WIND GUSTS IN ADVISORY RANGE (OR JUST BELOW)
FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...AND EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME INTO THE EARLY
EVENING WITH PRIMARY ISOLLABARIC PUSH ON LEADING EDGE OF DRY SLOT.
THIS FEATURE SWINGING THROUGH SHOULD BRING AN END TO MORE ORGANIZED
DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN ACTIVITY BY EARLY THIS EVENING...SAVE FOR FAR
NORTHERN ZONES WHERE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE.
OTHERWISE...EASEMENT OF PRESSURE GRADIENT AND NOCTURNAL AFFECTS
SHOULD KEEP WINDS BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY
FRIDAY.

TRAILING PV ANOMALY/SECONDARY TROUGH AXIS WILL DROP SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE LOWER LAKES ON FRIDAY. 950-850 MB WINDS ON SRN FRINGE
NOT AS IMPRESSIVE TOMORROW...ALTHOUGH A DEEPER CONVECTIVE LAYER WILL
LIKELY OFFSET THIS WITH WINDS POTENTIALLY APPROACHING ADVISORY
CRITERIA BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. HELD OFF FOR NOW WITH
GUSTS GENERALLY IN THE 35-45 MPH RANGE DURING THIS TIME. CLOUD
BEARING FLOW VEERING MORE WNW AND MOISTURE DEPTH/LAPSE RATES
INCREASING JUST ALONG/BEHIND SECONDARY TROUGH SHOULD FORCE SCT
SHOWERS BY LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON INTO MAINLY OUR NORTHERN ZONES
(CLOSER TO PV TRACK). LAKE EFFECT/ENHANCEMENT WILL ALSO KICK IN AS
LAKE-7H DIFFERENTIALS PUSH INTO THE MID 20S...ALTHOUGH MOISTURE
REMAINS QUESTIONABLE SO HELD POPS IN CHANCE RANGE. 1000-850 MB
THICKNESS VALUES DROPPING TO BTW 1290-1300M (MARGINAL BOUNDARY
LAYER CONDITIONS) WILL LIKELY ALLOW SOME SNOW/GRAUPEL TO MIX IN AT
TIMES.

&&

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 PM EST THU NOV 12 2015

FORECAST PERIOD BEGINS WITH SURFACE AND UPPER RIDGING STILL
HANGING BACK JUST TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA...KEEPING
CYCLONIC FLOW OFF LAKE MICHIGAN FEEDING CLOUD COVER INTO THE AREA
FRIDAY EVENING. RIDGING THEN BUILDS EASTWARD OVER THE AREA ON
SATURDAY SETTING THE STAGE FOR A PLEASANT WEEKEND OF SEASONABLE
TEMPS AND DRY WEATHER. SHORT-LIVED QUASI-ZONAL FLOW THIS WEEKEND
WILL QUICKLY AMPLIFY AS STRONG JET DYNAMICS FROM THE GULF OF
ALASKA STREAMS INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND CARVES OUT LARGE
UPPER TROF OVER THE WESTERN US TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK. SOUTHERN STREAM
ENERGY WILL ALSO BE MOVING THROUGH BAJA CALIFORNIA AND NORTHERN
MEXICO AND MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE PHASING THESE SYSTEMS WHICH
WILL FUTHER AMPLIFY WESTERN TROF AND PUSH RIDGING OFF TOWARD THE
EAST COAST. THIS PLACES OUR AREA IN A MILD...UNSETTLED AND ACTIVE
SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN AND WILL PRODUCE PROLONGED PERIOD OF PRECIP
CHANCES DAYS 5-7. ALSO SEEING SIGNALS FROM MODELS OF GULF FLOW
OPENING UP THROUGH THE MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES REGION WITH PW OF
1.25 INCHES BY TUESDAY NIGHT...90TH PERCENTILE AND 2 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL...WHICH WOULD BRING POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAIN MID WEEK AS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES EJECTS OUT FROM WHAT
WILL DEVELOP INTO A CLOSED LOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WITH VERY
STRONG JET DYNAMICS EXTENDING UP THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1218 PM EST THU NOV 12 2015

MVFR CEILINGS /SOME BELOW 2000FT/ WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON.
LOOKS LIKE KFWA WILL SEE CLOUDS SCATTER OUT TO VFR THIS
EVENING...BUT ANOTHER AREA OF CLOUDS MOVING SOUTHEAST FROM MINNESOTA
LOOKS TO KEEP KSBN IN CLOUD COVER. WILL GO VFR FOR NOW WITH THIS
DECK...AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH AND SEE IF IT MAKES TO KFWA.

STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
