AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
419 AM EST THU FEB 25 2016

.UPDATE...
THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM AND SHORT TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED
BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 353 AM EST THU FEB 25 2016

LOW PRESSURE WILL PULL AWAY FROM CENTRAL INDIANA DURING THE DAY
TODAY...ALLOWING SNOW ACROSS THE AREA TO COME TO AN END BY
TONIGHT. COULD SEE ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH OR TWO
ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES AND STILL HAVE SOME POTENTIAL FOR
SQUALLS ACROSS THE EASTERN COUNTIES DURING THE AFTERNOON. QUIET
WEATHER ARRIVES ON HIGH PRESSURE STARTING TONIGHT AND TEMPERATURES
WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL FOR SATURDAY AND WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR
SUNDAY. THE END OF THE WEEKEND WILL BRING CHANCES FOR RAIN...AND
THEN AN OTHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FOR MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...

ISSUED AT 353 AM EST THU FEB 25 2016

RADAR LOOP SHOWED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS ALL BUT THE SOUTHWEST
FORECAST AREA AT 330 AM. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE HAD PULLED OFF TO
NEW YORK WITH THE UPPER LOW EVIDENT ON SATELLITE OVER LAKE HURON.
AN UPPER WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA WAS PROMPTING THE LIGHT
SNOW...WITH VISIBILITIES PERIODICALLY BRIEFLY DROPPING TO 1-2
MILES BUT GENERALLY AROUND 3 TO 7 MILES EVEN WITH WINDS GUSTING
AT 20 TO 35 MPH.

SNOW WILL SLOWLY MOVE OUT OF THE AREA AS THE LOW PULLS FURTHER
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE MORNING. DURING THE AFTERNOON A SURFACE
TROUGH /ALMOST SECONDARY COLD FRONT/ ALONG WITH ANOTHER SPOKE OF
UPPER ENERGY MOVE COULD IMPACT ESPECIALLY THE EASTERN COUNTIES.
WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES IN THE SOUTH DO NOT EXPECT MUCH
ACCUMULATION THERE...BUT COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTH ALONG
WITH SOME HELP FROM LAKE EFFECT MOISTURE COULD ALLOW NORTHERN COUNTIES
TO ACCUMULATE ANOTHER COUPLE OF INCHES BETWEEN THIS MORNING AND
THIS AFTERNOON. THUS WITH THE SLIGHTLY COLDER TEMPERATURES IN THE
NORTH AND A LITTLE BETTER FORCING WILL KEEP AN ADVISORY GOING
ACROSS THAT AREA THROUGH MIDDAY...AND COULD SEE THE NORTHEAST
POSSIBLY NEEDING AN EXTENSION IF SNOW SQUALLS PICK UP THERE THIS
AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE LAPSE RATES AND FORCING DON/T LOOK AS
CONDUCIVE FOR AFTERNOON SQUALLS.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY TODAY WITH FULL CLOUD
COVER. TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL KEEP WIND GUSTS OF 25-35 MPH
AROUND THROUGH THE DAY BEFORE THEY SLACKEN THIS EVENING ALONG WITH
THE GRADIENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 353 AM EST THU FEB 25 2016

TONIGHT COULD SEE SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW HANG ON IN THE NORTHEAST
COUNTIES AND CONTINUED WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE THERE THROUGH THE
NIGHT DUE TO THE FETCH. BY FRIDAY MORNING THOUGH WINDS ARE NO
LONGER CONDUCIVE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TOWARD THE AREA. MAY
TAKE SOME TIME FOR STUBBORN CLOUDS TO SCATTER UNDER A TEMPERATURE
INVERSION. BY SATURDAY THOUGH SHOULD SEE SOME GOOD CLEARING AND
THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO START TO REBOUND INTO THE 50S
SOUTH AND 40S NORTH. WITH SIMILAR GUIDANCE NUMBERS GENERALLY USED
A CONSENSUS BUT MADE SOME TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS IN THE NORTHWEST
WHERE SNOW COVER COULD INHIBIT WARMING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST THU FEB 25 2016

THE UPPER FLOW IS MORE ZONAL MOST OF THE LONG TERM UNTIL DAY 7. THERE
WILL BE A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS AFFECTING OUR WEATHER DURING THIS PERIOD
WITH THE FIRST ONE BEING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH WILL TRACK FROM
THE UPPER MIDWEST TO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES SUNDAY.  SUNDAY WILL BE
WINDY AND MUCH WARMER AS A STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THIS
FIRST SYSTEM.  MODELS INDICATE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN ACROSS OUR
NORTHWEST LATE SUNDAY AND A CHANCE OF RAIN ALL AREAS SUNDAY NIGHT AS
A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

MONDAY AND EARLY TUESDAY WILL BE DRY AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES EAST ACROSS OUR REGION.  MODELS BRING A STRENGTHENING AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI AND EVENTUALLY THE OHIO VALLEY
BY DAY 7.  IN SOME WAYS...THIS SYSTEM APPEARS A LOT LIKE YESTERDAYS SYSTEM
EXCEPT IT SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH FOR ALL RAIN THIS TIME.  THIS SYSTEM WILL
PRODUCE A CHANCE OF RAIN BY LATE TUESDAY AND LIKELY POPS SOME AREAS DAY DAY 7.

CONCERNING TEMPERATURES WENT CLOSE TO MODEL INITIALIZATION EARLY ON IN THE
LONG TERM PERIOD AND THEN LOWERED SUPER BLEND TEMPERATURES CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
SECTIONS WEDNESDAY WITH THOSE AREAS BEING NORTH OF THE APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 250900Z KIND TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST THU FEB 25 2016

MINOR TWEAKES MADE TO KIND TAF TO BETTER MATCH CURRENT CONDITIONS.
NO OTHER CHANGES ARE NEEDED AT THIS TIME. PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS...

CONFIDENT IN ONLY LIGHT SNOW OVERNIGHT AND THEN POSSIBLY A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS AFTER 12Z. THE VISIBILITY SHOULD REMAIN MVFR OR BETTER...BUT
CEILINGS WILL BE AN ISSUE AS THEY HAVE IMPROVED FROM MVFR TO IFR
THIS EVENING AT IND AND BMG...BUT STAYED AT IFR OR DETERIORATED TO
IFR AT THE OTHER SITES. 03Z LAMP MOS SUGGESTS BMG AND LAF WILL HAVE
SOME IFR CEILINGS OVERNIGHT BUT GENERALLY IMPROVE TO MVFR AFTER 10Z
AND VFR AFTER 21Z. THE LAMP MOS HAS IND AND HUF AT MVFR OVERNIGHT
AND IMPROVING TO VFR AFTER 21Z.  THIS SEEMS REASONABLE BASED ON
PERSISTENCE AND MODEL RH PROGS. WILL GO WITH IFR AND TEMPO MVFR AT
LAF THROUGH 10Z...MVFR AND TEMPO IFR AT BMG AND HUF THROUGH 09Z AND
JUST MVFR AT IND ALL NIGHT. WILL ALSO GO WITH VCSH AFTER 15Z TO
COVER SCATTERED SNOW SHOWER POTENTIAL OWING TO STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES.

IT WILL REMAIN WINDY WITH SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 20 KNOTS
AND GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS OR MORE AT IND AND LAF. WINDS WILL BE SLIGHTLY
LOWER AT HUF AND BMG. THE WINDS WILL DROP OFF SLIGHTLY AFTER 14Z
WITH SUSTAINED WINDS MOSTLY LESS THAN 20 KNOTS AND GUSTS TO AROUND
25 KNOTS. SHOULD FINALLY SEE THE GUSTS END NEAR 00Z SATURDAY AS
THE LOW MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN QUEBEC.
