Area forecast discussion, Jan 8, 11:48 PM EST, 4 hours 12 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
1148 PM EST THU JAN 8 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 642 PM EST THU JAN 8 2015
ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT
BRINGING STRONG WINDS...BLOWING SNOW...AND ACCUMULATING SNOW TO
THE REGION. COLDER AIR WILL FILTER IN BEHIND THIS FRONT WITH LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS IMPACTING FAR NORTHERN INDIANA AND SOUTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN INTO FRIDAY. OTHERWISE...WIND CHILLS WILL REMAIN
SUB ZERO THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 PM EST THU JAN 8 2015
NO REST FOR THE WEARY THIS PERIOD AS ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM DROPS
THROUGH WITH A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR, STRONG WINDS, AND
BLOWING/ACCUMULATING SNOWS...
A POTENT UPPER MIDWEST NW FLOW SHORTWAVE/SFC TROUGH WILL DROP
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT...WITH
IMPRESSIVE 200 METER 5H HEIGHT FALL CENTROID TRACK THROUGH THE
LOWER LAKES. ASSOCIATED MID LVL DPVA SURGE ON NOSE OF A
CYCLONICALLY CURVED 120 KT 400 MB JET WILL FOCUS INTO THE AREA
(ESPECIALLY NORTHERN HALF) LATE AFTN/EARLY EVENING. IN THE LOWER
LEVELS...A SUFFICIENT 2 G/KG SURGE EXPECTED WITHIN LLJ...WITH 40
KNOTS OF CROSS ISOBARIC FLOW (SYSTEM RELATIVE) AND REDUCED CPD'S
NOTED ON 285-290K SFC'S... ENOUGH TO FORCE A PERIOD OF MODERATE
SNOW IN WAA WING. PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT IN AN INCH OR TWO WITH
THIS INITIAL BURST...WITH SOME CONCERN FOR FAR SOUTHERN ZONES TO
SATURATE (HENCE THE SLIGHTLY LOWER POPS...AMOUNTS). 925 MB WINDS
PROGGED TO RAMP TO 50-55 KNOTS THIS EVENING WITHIN LOW LEVEL JET
CORE. LUCKILY...SHALLOW MIXING/INVERSION WILL LIMIT GUSTS TO
30-40 MPH FOR THE MOST PART...ALTHOUGH THIS WILL NO DOUBT BE
ENOUGH TO CREATE HEADLINE WORTHY BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW AND VIS
REDUCTIONS INTO FRI MORNING ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. DRY SLOT WILL
LIKELY BRING A BRIEF LULL IN SNOW FOR A TIME THIS
EVENING...ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN HALF...WILL LIGHTER SNOWS FILLING
BACK SOUTHEAST ALONG TRAILING COLD FRONT LATE EVENING/EARLY
OVERNIGHT.
AS FOR SYNOPTIC SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TONIGHT...FAVORED A MODEL
CONSENSUS FOR QPF GIVEN GOOD AGREEMENT. SNOW RATIOS A LITTLE
TRICKY AS MODELS SHOW A PERIOD OF GOOD OMEGA AND SUPERSATURATION
WRT ICE LINED UP WITHIN A RELATIVELY DEEP DGZ (ALTHOUGH SOME
WARMING OF ISOTHERMAL LAYER TO NEAR/WARMER THAN -10C FOR A TIME).
HOWEVER...FRACTURING A DEFINITE LIMITING FAVOR GIVEN STRONG WINDS
WITHIN/BELOW SNOW PRODUCTION ZONE. GIVEN THE MIXED SIGNALS OPTED
FOR SNOW RATIONS A LITTLE ABOVE CLIMO (15-17:1) WHICH YIELDED
SNOW AMOUNTS RANGING FROM A INCH SOUTH TO 1-3" CENTRAL TO 2-4"
NORTH THROUGH THE EARLY OVERNIGHT. MOST LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE
WESTERLY FLOW LAKE ZONES SHOULD SEE THE ACCUMULATING SNOW END
OVERNIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST BUT DID HOLD ONTO WINTER WX THROUGH
15Z FRIDAY GIVEN BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW/VIS CONCERNS FOR THE
MORNING COMMUTE.
ATTENTION LATER TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW WILL TURN TO LAKE EFFECT
SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW MAINLY ALONG/NORTH OF THE INDIANA TOLL ROAD
IN NC/NW IN AND SW LOWER MI AS STRONG CAA COMMENCES. BOUNDARY
LAYER FLOW THIS GO AROUND WILL BE MORE WESTERLY (280-290 DEG)
WITH SIG DRY ENTRAINMENT AND LACKING PARCEL RESIDENCE LIMITING
FACTORS FOR MUCH MORE THAN 1-3" SNOWS. HOWEVER...LAKE ENHANCEMENT
IN BERRIEN/CASS MI TONIGHT WITH GOOD DGZ/OMEGA/SATURATION
ALIGNMENT THROUGH DGZ SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME HEALTHIER SNOWS
(WARNING LEVEL) IN WAKE OF SFC TROUGH LATE
EVENING/OVERNIGHT...WITH STRONG WINDS CREATING WHITEOUT/BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS AT TIMES. OTHERWISE/ELSEWHERE...COLD AND MAINLY DRY
(SUB ZERO WIND CHILLS) WITH AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW ON FRIDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 PM EST THU JAN 8 2015
BITTERLY COLD CONDITIONS/DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
WILL BE FOLLOWED BY NEXT CHANCE OF SNOW FOR SUNDAY/EARLY MONDAY
WILL BE THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THE LONG TERM.
VERY COLD AIR MASS TO REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION FOR
FRIDAY EVENING AS CENTER OF 1035 MB HIGH DRIFTS ACROSS THE MID MS
VALLEY AND LOWER OH VALLEY. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A MODERATE LOW
LEVEL HEIGHT GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WITH AT LEAST
10 TO 20 MPH WINDS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. DESPITE
GRADIENT...MAGNITUDE OF ARCTIC AIR MASS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SUBZERO
LOWS ONCE AGAIN...WITH POSSIBLE EXCEPTION DOWNWIND OF LAKE
MICHIGAN WHERE MORE SUBSTANTIAL MODIFICATION IS EXPECTED. A WIND
CHILL ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR WIND CHILLS IN THE 15
BELOW TO 25 BELOW RANGE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING.
OTHERWISE...INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO LOWER FRIDAY NIGHT
WITH ONSET OF STRONGER MID LEVEL WAA INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
HAVE INCREASED LAKE EFFECT POPS FOR SW LOWER MICHIGAN FRIDAY
EVENING BUT WESTERLY FETCH AND SYNOPTIC SCALE SUBSIDENCE/DRYING
MID LEVELS SHOULD LIMIT ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS TO LESS THAN
AN INCH.
VERY COLD CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY AS LOW LEVEL WAA
LIKELY NOT TO INITIALLY BE EFFICIENT AT SCOURING OUT SHALLOW
ARCTIC AIR MASS...AND NOT MUCH CHANGE MADE TO PREVIOUS MAX TEMPS
FROM UPPER SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO TO THE LOWER TEENS. LOW LEVEL
ANTICYCLONE SHIFTING TO THE MID ATLANTIC SHOULD KEEP MODERATE
SOUTHERLY GRADIENT IN PLACE...AND VERY LIMITED DIURNAL
TEMPERATURE RANGES ARE EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT.
ATTENTION FOR SUNDAY WILL TURN TO INCREASING SNOW CHANCES ONCE
AGAIN AS NEXT LOW AMPLITUDE SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE BEGINS TO KICK
OUT OF SOUTHERN PLAINS. BROAD LOW LEVEL CONFLUENT ZONE AND
NORTHWARD THETAE ADVECTION SURGE SUNDAY SHOULD SUPPORT INCREASING
SNOW CHANCES. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING TRACK/STRENGTH OF
ANY FRONTAL WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT SUSPECT THAT
NORTHERN STREAM MAY TEND TO SUPPRESS BETTER MOISTURE TRANSPORT A
BIT...MORE INLINE WITH 12Z EC. HAVE INCREASED TO HIGH CHANCE POPS
FOR -SN SUNDAY NIGHT/EARLY MONDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS
OF FORECAST AREA...AND WILL MAINTAIN LOW TO MID CHANCE ELSEWHERE.
THIS PERIOD WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED WITH SOME POTENTIAL OF SOME
ACCUMULATING SNOW DURING THE SUN-EARLY MON PERIOD. MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS HINT AT MORE SUBSTANTIAL SOUTHWEST CONUS TROUGHING TOWARD
THE END OF THE PERIOD...BUT GIVEN EXPECTED PERSISTENCE OF BROAD
GREAT LAKES ANTICYCLONE INTO MID WEEK...HAVE KEPT REMAINDER OF
FORECAST DRY.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1145 PM EST THU JAN 8 2015
CDFNT MOVG THROUGH NW INDIANA SHOULD PASS SBN AROUND 06Z AND FWA
08Z. SOME HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT AND WINDS
WHICH HAVE DIED DOWN A BIT AT SBN WILL PRBLY GUST BACK UP OVER
30KT FOR A COUPLE HOURS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. 300DEG LOW
LEVEL FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN LAKE EFFECT SHSN AT SBN
THROUGH DAYBREAK WITH IFR CONDITIONS CONTG. INVERSION EXPECTED TO
LOWER BLO 5KFT TODAY AND LOW LEVEL WINDS BACK SLIGHTLY SO WHILE
SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD CONT AT SBN CONDITIONS ONLY
FCST TO BE MVFR. FWA SHOULD BE ON SOUTH EDGE OF POST-FRONTAL LAKE
EFFECT CLOUD PLUME THIS MORNING WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR
THIS AFTN/EVE AS WINDS BACK.
