AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
618 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 424 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

RAIN WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF TODAY WITH PRIMARILY DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED BY LATE AFTERNOON. A SECOND WAVE OF RAIN IS EXPECTED ON
MONDAY THOUGH. THIS RAIN WILL LIKELY BEGIN AS A PERIOD OF FREEZING
RAIN AND SLEET MONDAY MORNING BEFORE BECOMING ALL RAIN BY AFTERNOON.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF UP TO AN INCH ARE POSSIBLE AND MAY
CAUSE SOME ADDITIONAL FLOODING...PRIMARILY ALONG AND SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 24. A LIGHT GLAZE OF ICE IS ALSO POSSIBLE MONDAY MORNING...
PRIMARILY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 24. STRONG EAST WINDS UP TO 45 MPH ARE
ALSO EXPECTED MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 424 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

PEAK OF ROUND ONE IS NOW UNDERWAY WITH VERY ACTIVE FRONTAL SLOPE IN
PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. STRONG LOW-MIDLEVEL FRONTOGENESIS NOTED IN
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF POWERFUL 200 KT UPPER JET OVER NORTHERN
LAKES AND EASTERN CANADA. VERY HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT (PW VALUES NEAR
1.5 PER 00Z KILN SOUNDING) IN PRESENCE OF THIS STRONG FORCING
LEADING TO WIDESPREAD MODERATE-HEAVY RAIN. HIGHEST TOTALS SO FAR
HAVE BEEN IN OUR S/SW...GIVEN LONGEST DURATION AND SLIGHTLY BETTER
STATIC INSTABILITY. 18 HOUR TOTALS NOW AROUND 1.5 INCHES JUST SOUTH
OF US-24 IN INDIANA. EXPECT THESE COUNTIES WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE
BEST RAINFALL TOTALS GIVEN BETTER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY AND STRONGER
ASCENT ALONG THE SFC-925MB PORTION OF THE FRONT. ANOTHER 0.5-0.75
INCHES MAY BE POSSIBLE SOUTH OF US-24 BY THIS AFTERNOON. MIDLEVEL
EXTENSION OF THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MODERATE RAIN NORTH
OF US-24 BUT AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHTER. EXPECT ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS
GENERALLY LESS THAN 0.5 INCHES. THREAT OF FLOODING/FLASH FLOODING IS
LOW FOR COUNTIES ALONG THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF THE CURRENT WATCH BUT
PREFER TO KEEP HEADLINES GOING AS IS FOR NOW AND LET DAY SHIFT RE-
ASSESS ONCE BULK OF CURRENT RAIN ENDS.

LATEST HI-RES GUIDANCE IN GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT RAIN WILL
DISSIPATE AND SHIFT SOUTHEAST BY MIDDAY AS NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
TROUGH EXITS AND MID/UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE NORTHERN LAKES. A
FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MAY PERSIST IN OUR FAR SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
EVENING BUT EXPECT MOST OF THE CWA TO BE DRY BY LATE AFTERNOON.
COULD EVEN SEE A FEW PEAKS OF SUN IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES AS STRONG
CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH AND THETA-E TROUGH NOSES INTO THE SOUTHERN
GREAT LAKES. CUT POPS DRASTICALLY FOR MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
DID LEAVE SOME LOW CHANCES IN OUR FAR SOUTH BUT SUSPECT MOST OF OUR
CWA WILL BE DRY UNTIL AT LEAST 06Z. PRECIP BEGINS TO LIFT BACK NORTH
TOWARDS 12Z MONDAY MORNING AS STRONG VORT MAX LIFTS OUT OF THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. STILL A FAIR AMOUNT OF DISAGREEMENT ON EXACT START
TIMES...WHICH WILL BE CRUCIAL IN DETERMINING IMPACT TO MONDAY
MORNING COMMUTE. PREFER TO LEAN ON THE SLOWER NAM WITH SUPPORT FROM
HI-RES MODELS AND ECMWF. SLIGHTLY FASTER GFS AND CANADIAN SOLUTIONS
SEEM LESS LIKELY GIVEN STRENGTH AND SOUTHERN DISPLACEMENT OF
MID/UPPER LOW. SUSPECT PRECIP WILL BE SPREADING INTO OUR CWA BY 12Z
BUT LIKELY NOT MUCH BEFORE THAT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE ANY
PRECIP THAT DOES OCCUR PRIOR TO 12Z WILL MOST LIKELY BE FREEZING
RAIN...SAVE FOR AREAS ALONG OUR SOUTHERN CWA BORDER WHERE SURFACE
TEMPS WILL BE JUST ABOVE FREEZING. LITTLE TO NO ICE ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED PRIOR TO 12Z THOUGH GIVEN LIMITED DURATION AND RELATIVELY
WARM GROUND TEMPS/MARGINAL SURFACE TEMPS.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 424 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

STRONG LOW MOVG INTO SW TX THIS MORNING IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NE
INTO MO MONDAY AND THEN WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INTO THE WRN GRTLKS
MONDAY NIGHT.  AS WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES
MONDAY MORNING... PRECIP EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA FROM THE S-
SW. TEMPS ALOFT WILL WARM ENOUGH FOR MELTING OF PRECIP BUT
DRY/COLD LOW LEVELS SHOULD RESULT IN A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN/SLEET
AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES THROUGH. ICE/SLEET ACCUMS EXPECTED TO
GENERALLY BE UNDER A TENTH OF AN INCH WITH TEMPS WARMING ABOVE
FREEZING ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA IN THE AFTN. STRONG FORCING
AHEAD OF THE OCCLUDING CDFNT ALONG WITH WK ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND A
VERY MOIST AIRMASS WITH PWAT>1" SHOULD RESULT IN ANOTHER SGFNT RAIN
EVENT MONDAY WITH QPF AROUND AN INCH. THIS COMBINED WITH RECENT HEAVY
RAINFALL CONTS CONCERN FOR FLOODING. STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
PRESSURE FALLS TO THE NE OF THE SFC LOW WILL RESULT IN VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR AREA MONDAY... PSBLY REQUIRING A WIND
ADVISORY... ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NW 1/2 OF THE CWA. HEAVIER RAIN
EXPECTED TO MOVE OUT OF OUR CWA EARLY MONDAY EVE BUT MOIST CYCLONIC
FLOW SHOULD ALLOW SOME LIGHT RAIN TO PERSIST OVERNIGHT AND PSBLY TUE
WHEN IT SHOULD BECOME COLD ENOUGH FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW TO MIX IN
BEFORE PRECIP ENDS BY EVE AS RIDGING BUILDS IN. THIS SHOULD BE SHORT
LIVED AS UPR TROF AND EMBEDDED SHRTWVS MOVES SLOWLY EAST FROM THE
PLAINS TO THE GRTLKS/NERN CONUS MID-LATE WEEK. THIS SHOULD SET THE
STAGE FOR CONSIDERABLY COLDER TEMPS IN OUR AREA...PERHAPS EVEN A BIT
