A WELCOME RETURN TO QUIET WEATHER TODAY. SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY
LIFTING NORTHEAST OF THE AREA AND WEAKENING. SOME RESIDUAL WRAP-
AROUND MOISTURE WILL LIFT INTO OUR CWA TODAY ALONG WITH COOLER
THERMAL PROFILES THAT WILL OFFSET ANY DIURNAL CONTRIBUTION TO TEMPS.
UPSTREAM RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS SOME SPORADIC WEAK RETURNS BUT SURFACE
REPORTS OF PRECIP ARE VERY FEW AND FAR BETWEEN GIVEN LIMITED
MOISTURE DEPTH AND VERY WEAK FORCING. SUBTLE SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE
OVER THE CWA DURING THE EARLY MORNING AND MAY PRODUCE SOME ISOLATED
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS BUT RIDGING QUICKLY BUILDS BY LATE MORNING AND
WILL LIKELY SHUT OFF MOST PRECIP. CUT BACK POPS FOR TODAY AS A
RESULT. ONLY EXCEPTION IS IN OUR MICHIGAN COUNTIES WHERE WESTERLY
FETCH OFF THE LAKE COULD ADD JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE AND MARGINAL
INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT LINGERING RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS INTO THE
AFTERNOON. SOME CONCERN FOR DRIZZLE OR FREEZING DRIZZLE GIVEN
LIMITED MOISTURE ABOVE -10C. HOWEVER...CHANCES FOR ANY PRECIP ARE
SMALL AND SURFACE TEMPS WILL BE HOVERING AROUND 33-37 SO NOT
EXPECTING ANY IMPACTS. JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A FEW FLURRIES IN OUR

SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE SCT LAKE EFFECT/ENHANCED SNOW SHOWERS WED NGT-
FRI AS LOW LEVEL WNW FLOW DVLPS/PERSISTS WITH WK LAKE INDUCED
INSTABILITY AND WK SHRTWV'S MOVG E-SE FROM THE PLAINS/CANADA.
TEMPS IN THIS TIMEFRAME SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY BLO NORMAL. LATEST
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SUGGEST ERN NORTH AMERICA TROF WILL PROGRESS

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 600 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

WEAK SHORTWAVE LIFTING NORTH AND MOIST CYCLONIC FLOW ON THE
BACKSIDE OF DEPARTING LOW WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR IFR
CONDITIONS TODAY...ESPECIALLY AT KSBN. MAY BE UNTIL ROUGHLY 13Z
