AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
302 AM EST SUN JAN 17 2016

.UPDATE...
AVIATION AND LONG TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 309 PM EST SAT JAN 16 2016

THE PASSAGE OF AN ARCTIC FRONT ON SUNDAY WILL BRING CHANCES FOR
LIGHT SNOW AND SHARPLY DROPPING TEMPERATURES. MORE CHANCES FOR
SNOW WILL ARRIVE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AND TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH AT LEAST THE END OF THE UPCOMING
WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/...

SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE ACROSS
ILLINOIS AND INDIANA. AN ARCTIC FRONT WAS FOUND IN SOUTHEAST
IOWA...POISED TO PUSH TOWARD INDIANA. IR IMAGES SHOW CLOUDY SKIES
ACROSS THE STATE...A FEW BREAKS ACROSS ILLINOIS AND THEN MORE CLOUD
ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT OVER IOWA.

ONGOING FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE AS MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL BE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE NIGHT DUE TO THE SLIM BREAKS IN THE UPSTREAM
FLOW. TIME HEIGHTS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW SATURATED
LOWER LEVELS THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT WITH MINIMAL FORCING...IT IS
HARDLY WORTH A FLURRY MENTION. GIVEN THE EXPECTED COLD AIR ADVECTION
WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE COLD FRONT...ONGOING TEMPERATURE TRENDS SEEM
REASONABLE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW

NEAR TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL FEATURE AT LEAST ONE IF NOT
TWO DISTURBANCES SLIDING TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...WHICH
WILL LEAVE CENTRAL INDIANA WITH CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW...AS WHILE
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE SOME...THE AIR WILL STILL LARGELY BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR SNOW AS THE SOLE PRECIPITATION TYPE.

EURO KEEPS THE SECOND DISTURBANCE MUCH FURTHER SOUTH...BUT NEWER GFS
BRINGS IT EAST JUST SOUTH OF THE OHIO VALLEY...NOT NECESSARILY A
PREFERRED OR TYPICAL CYCLONE PATH...BUT NEVERTHELESS WILL MERIT AT
LEAST LOW POPS.

REGIONAL INITIALIZATION WAS IN THE BALLPARK AND REQUIRED ONLY A FEW
TWEAKS.

ISSUED AT 309 PM EST SAT JAN 16 2016

SKIES MAY BRIEFLY SCATTER FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING BEFORE THE
NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA. VERY LATE TONIGHT...OR MORE
APTLY PUT...EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AN ARCTIC FRONT APPROACHES THE
AREA. LIGHT CHANCES FOR SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER 09-10Z
ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES OF THE CENTRAL INDIANA WHERE
FORCING LOOKS BEST EARLY ON AND THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY SUNDAY.
HOWEVER STILL NOT ENOUGH MOISTURE TO WORK WITH FOR A LOT OF SNOW.
A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH OF SNOW AT MOST IS EXPECTED BY THE
END OF LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE BEST FORCING STILL APPEARS TO BE FOCUSED
ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES (HOWEVER STILL WEAK WITH WITH 30-40
PERCENT CHANCE TO SCATTERED POPS) WITH CHANCES DECREASING TOWARD
FARTHER SOUTH. FLURRIES MAY BE ALL THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES SEE
ON SUNDAY. IN SUMMARY: TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF A FEW TENTHS OF
AN INCH FOR NORTH/CENTRAL INDIANA...WITH A TRACE OR LESS FOR THE SOUTH.

MEANWHILE...TEMPERATURES WILL NOTICEABLY PLUMMET WITH THIS
ARCTIC FRONTAL PASSAGE DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 309 PM EST SAT JAN 16 2016

WITH SOME CLEARING SUNDAY NIGHT AND ON GOING COLD AIR ADVECTION
FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...TEMPERATURES WILL GET MUCH COLDER
OVERNIGHT...WITH WIND CHILL ADVISORY NUMBERS OF -15 TO -24 BELOW
ZERO CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. WHICH WOULD MAKE FOR A VERY COLD START TO
MONDAY MORNING.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS DRY BUT MUCH COLDER
THAN NORMAL. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST OF
THE REGION TOWARD THE END OF THIS PERIOD...MAKING WAY FOR ANOTHER
SYSTEM TO MOVE INTO THE AREA BY TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 302 AM EST SUN JAN 17 2016

MODELS INDICATE A DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF SNOW WEDNESDAY AND
ANOTHER ONE WILL AFFECT OUR WEATHER BY THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY.
MODELS ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR ON THE FIRST ONE...BUT THEY HAVE TRENDED WITH A
LITTLE MORE SNOW.

IN REGARDS TO THE SECOND SYSTEM...MODELS HAVE TRENDED WITH A LITTLE MORE SNOW...
BUT THERE ARE STILL BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS.  THE EURO TAKES A WEAK
SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES...WHILE
THE GFS AND GEMNH MODELS TRACK A STRONGER SURFACE LOW TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY.
WITH LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY WILL GO WITH A BLEND AND GO WITH CHANCE POPS LATE
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.  MODEL LOW LEVEL THICKNESS INDICATE MIXED PRECIPITATION
IS POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY EVENING BUT
WITH SNOW OCCURRING OVER THE REST OF THE AREA.  MODELS INDICATE DRY WEATHER
WILL BE THE RULE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

TWEAKED LOW TEMPERATURES UP SLIGHTLY THURSDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE...STAYED
CLOSE TO MODEL INITIALIZED TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 170900Z KIND TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 302 AM EST SUN JAN 17 2016

MINOR TWEAKS MADE TO KIND TAF TO BETTER MATCH CURRENT CONDITIONS.
NO OTHER CHANGES ARE NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
LINGERING MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 020 BEGINNING TO THIN OUT AS LIFT FROM
APPROACHING UPPER DISTURBANCE AIDS IN THE DISSIPATION OF THE LOW LEVEL
INVERSION. HARD TO TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF THESE LOWER CLOUDS ARE STILL
AROUND ON SATELLITE DUE TO INCREASING HIGHER CLOUD...BUT IT APPEARS THERE
WILL STILL BE SOME MVFR CEILINGS AROUND KIND/KBMG FOR A FEW MORE HOURS.
CEILINGS 040-050 UPSTREAM SHOULD MOVE OVER THE TERMINALS OVERNIGHT AND
LINGER THROUGH MIDDAY SUNDAY.

POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS IN LIGHT SNOW TO DEVELOP
AFTER SUNRISE ON SUNDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH INCOMING UPPER DISTURBANCE...BUT
CHANCES ARE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

SURFACE WINDS 270-290 DEGREES AT 6-8 KTS OVERNIGHT EXPECTED TO INCREASE
TOWARDS MIDDAY AS PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER
DISTURBANCE. FREQUENT SURFACE GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KTS EXPECTED BY MIDDAY
SUNDAY.
