AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
759 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 758 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

A FEW RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING BEFORE DRIER AIR
OVERSPREADS OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. LOWS TONIGHT
WILL DROP INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S. A STRONG CLIPPER SYSTEM
WILL DROP THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH VERY STRONG
WINDS AND INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. HIGHS ON
SATURDAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE BETWEEN THE UPPER 30S AND MID 40S.
THIS UNSEASONABLY COOL AND AT TIMES UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 313 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

FIRST BATCH OF SHOWERS NEAR LEFTOVER LOW LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL
CONTINUE TO SHIFT OFF TO THE EAST LATE THIS AFTN AS ASSOCIATED
SHORTWAVE EXITS NORTHEAST. HAVE HAD SOME REPORTS OF SMALL HAIL WITH
ISO THUNDER SOUTH OF US 30 IN INDIANA GIVEN STEEPENING LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ALONG/SOUTH OF SFC TROUGH AND LOWERING FREEZING LEVELS.
EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO SHIFT OUT OF THE AREA BY 21Z. A TRAILING
SECONDARY COLD FRONT/LARGER SCALE SHORTWAVE WILL DROP SOUTHEAST FROM
THE UPPER MIDWEST BRINGING ADDITIONAL RAIN SHOWER CHANCES TO MAINLY
OUR NW ZONES THIS EVENING. CHILLY OTHERWISE INTO TONIGHT AS STEADY
COLD ADVECTION REGIME CONTINUES IN CYCLONIC FLOW.

MAIN FOCUS TOMORROW IS ON DYNAMIC CLIPPER SYSTEM TO AMPLIFY
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE LOWER LAKES IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 140
KT PLUS 3H JET. THIS FAVORABLE UPPER JET SUPPORT AND DEEP PV
INTRUSION WITH 1.5 PVU SFC NEARING 700 MB WILL SUPPORT A DEEPENING
LOW LEVEL REFLECTION SE THROUGH THE CENTRAL LAKES SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. THE RESULTING IMPRESSIVE UVM RESPONSE AND STEEPENING
LAPSE RATES/SATURATION IN THE 3-13 KFT LAYER POINT TO A PERIOD OF
DECENT PCPN RATES WITH SHOWERS INTO MAINLY OUR NORTHERN/EASTERN
ZONES (INTO NORTHERN ZONES LATE AM/EARLY AFTN AND POINTS SE IN THE
AFTN). PTYPE REMAINS THE POINT OF GREATER CONSTERNATION GIVEN THE
EXPECTED CONVECTIVE RESPONSE AND MARGINAL WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS
PROGGED NEAR 1-1.5 KFT. LATEST GUIDANCE/SOUNDINGS SUGGEST MORE SNOW
THAN RAIN NORTHEAST OF US 30...WITH LOWER CHANCES/MAINLY RAIN TO
THE SOUTHWEST. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A QUICK/LIGHT COATING
OF SNOW ON GRASSY SURFACES NORTHEAST OF US 30 TOMORROW. THE BIGGER
STORY/IMPACT FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE STRONG WIND
FIELD...ESPECIALLY POST FRONTAL SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS MIXED LAYER
DEEPENS. MODEL SOUNDING MOMENTUM TRANSFER PROGS SUGGEST 45-50 MPH
GUSTS LIKELY 18-00Z.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 313 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

LONG TERM PERIOD BEGINS WITH ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM IN A SERIES
OF MANY MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY NIGHT. BOUNDARY
LAYER TEMPERATURES APPEAR TO REMAIN WARM ENOUGH FOR MOSTLY RAIN
ACROSS OUR AREA WITH SOME SNOW POTENTIALLY MIXING IN BY MONDAY
MORNING AS THE SYSTEM EXITS. COLD AIR WILL FILTER IN BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 40S ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE
NEXT SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A CHANCE FOR LIGHT
SNOW IN THE NORTH AND RAIN IN THE SOUTHERN CWA. PRECIP WILL CHANGE
TO ALL RAIN ON WEDNESDAY AS TEMPERATURES WARM CONSIDERABLY INTO
THE MID 50S AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. COOLER WEATHER AND SNOW CHANCES
RETURN BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE...NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN LOOKS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MID MONTH WHICH WILL KEEP BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES LOCKED IN THROUGH THAT TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 755 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

PRIMARILY VFR MET CONDITIONS WITH ADDED DETAIL OF VERY STRONG
VEERING WINDS SATURDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACH/PASSAGE OF
INTENSE CLIPPER SYSTEM DROPPING SEWD THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES AND THROUGH CENTRAL LAKE ERIE BY END OF FORECAST PD. DEEPER
COLD AIR/STRONG LAPSE RATES WITH RETURN SCATTERED SHRA/SHSN TO
NORTHERN INDIANA. COLDER PROFILE AT KSBN LIKELY TO FAVOR MOSTLY
FROZEN PTYPE...INCLUDED A MARGINAL REDUCTION IN VSBY OWING TO
HIGHLY PERTURBED HYDROMETEORS...THOUGH AMOUNTS/ACCUMS ON SFCS NOT
