AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
400 AM EST SAT NOV 21 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 345 AM EST SAT NOV 21 2015

A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN
INDIANA THIS MORNING AND THEN NORTHEAST ACROSS OHIO THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM WILL CAUSE SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF
OF OUR AREA TODAY... WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IN THE SOUTHEAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 30S NORTHWEST AND IN THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 40S SOUTHEAST.

AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
TONIGHT... VERY COLD AIR WILL BE DRAWN INTO OUR AREA WITH BRISK
NORTHWEST WINDS. THIS WILL RESULT IN SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS OVER SOUTHERN MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN INDIANA. LOWS TONIGHT
WILL BE IN THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 345 AM EST SAT NOV 21 2015

AMPLIFYING SHRTWV OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS MORNING WILL MOVE
RAPIDLY EAST INTO CENTRAL IL BY MIDDAY AND THEN LIFT NE ACROSS THE
LWR GRTLKS TONIGHT. ACCOMPANYING INTENSIFYING SFC LOW WILL MOVE
EAST ACROSS SRN IN THIS MORNING AND THEN NE ACROSS OH THIS AFTN
AND INTO QUEBEC TONIGHT. COMPOSITE RADAR/SFC OBS SUGGESTS BULK OF
HEAVIER BANDED SNOW IN WAA REGIME AHEAD OF THE LOW HAS REMAINED
N-NW OF OUR CWA TONIGHT. HARD TO GET A HEAVY SNOWFALL WITHOUT
GETTING IN ON THIS PART OF THE STORM. THAT SAID, THE BURGEONING
DEFORMATION ZONE SHOULD RESULT IN ABOUT A 3-6HR PERIOD OF
MODERATE PRECIP MOVG ACROSS OUR AREA TODAY. THIS PRECIP SHOULD
FALL MAINLY AS SNOW ACROSS THE NW 1/2 OF THE AREA... WITH A
RAIN/SNOW MIX CHANGING TO ALL SNOW BEFORE ENDING SE. GIVEN THE
STRONG FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFORMATION ZONE AND AMPLE
MOISTURE ADVECTING INTO THE SYSTEM WITH 2-3G/KG MIXING RATIOS ON
700MB/290K SURFACES... HAVE BUMPED UP SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS MOST OF
NWRN PORTION OF THE CWA AND EXPANDED WINTER ADVISORY TO INCLUDE
THE AREA N-NW OF A LINE FROM LOGANSPORT TO DEKALB.

SNOW WILL END EARLY THIS EVE AS SHRTWV/SFC LOW MOVE OFF TO THE NE.
EXCEPTION WILL BE DOWNWIND OF LAKE MICHIGAN WHERE NW FLOW WILL
DEVELOP BEHIND THE LOW WITH STRONG CAA RESULTING IN CONSIDERABLE
LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY. MAIN NEGATIVE TO SGFNT LAKE EFFECT
ACCUMS IS SHORT DURATION AS WINDS WILL BE STEADILY BACKING
ALLOWING DOMINANT BAND TO STAY ON THE MOVE... AND VERY DRY AIR
TO ADVECT IN FROM THE WEST CAUSING LAKE EFFECT TO QUICKLY
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT.

TEMPS WILL BE QUITE COLD BY NOVEMBER STANDARDS...REMAINING IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S OVER MUCH OF THE AREA MOST OF THE DAY... THOUGH
FAR SE SHOULD REACH THE L-M40S... WITH COLDEST READINGS OF THE
SEASON SO FAR EXPECTED TONIGHT AS LOWS FALL INTO THE TEENS/L20S OVER
MOST OF THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM EST SAT NOV 21 2015

EXPECTED FRESH SNOW COVER AND 925 MB TEMPS AROUND -8C WITHIN THERMAL
TROUGH SHOULD HOLD HIGHS IN THE MID-UPPER 20S SUNDAY...COLDEST
DAYTIME HIGHS OF THE FALL SEASON SO FAR. MAINLY DRY OTHERWISE AS
BACKING FLOW AND CRASHING INVERSION HEIGHTS BRING ANY LINGERING LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES TO AN END ACROSS THE NORTH.

MODERATING TREND THEN COMMENCES SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS
SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN FLATTENING WNW FLOW TRACKS THROUGH THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN GREAT LAKES...WITH ANY WAA PCPN FOCUSED NORTH IN AN
AREA OF WEAK ISENTROPIC ASCENT. A TRANSITION IN THE MID/UPPER PATTERN
TO A WESTERN TROUGH/EASTERN RIDGE CONFIGURATION WILL BRING MORE
MODERATION FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...AND EVENTUALLY INCREASING
RAIN CHANCES INTO THURSDAY/FRIDAY AS MOISTURE CHANNEL IN ADVANCE OF
A PLAINS FRONTAL BOUNDARY FOLDS IN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT) ISSUED
AT 1210 AM EST SAT NOV 21 2015

STRONG SHRTWV OVER KS/NEB WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS INDIANA
THIS AFTN CAUSING SNOW TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA. LATEST MODEL RUNS
SUGGEST BULK OF WAA SNOW WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE TERMINALS EARLY
THIS MORNING SO HAVE PUSHED BACK STARTING TIME OF SNOW SEVERAL
HOURS IN THE TAFS. STILL EXPECT SGFNT IMPACTS TO AVIATION AS THE
LOW MOVES THROUGH TODAY. SNOW WILL TAPER END AT FWA THIS EVE AS
LOW PULLS AWAY TO THE NE BUT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD CONT
TO IMPACT THE SBN AREA THROUGH LATE EVE BEFORE DRIER AIR MOVG IN
FROM THE WEST BRINGS THIS ACTIVITY TO AN END ACROSS NW INDIANA.
