AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
410 AM EDT THU APR 7 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 406 AM EDT THU APR 7 2016
CLOUDY...COOL AND DAMP WEATHER WILL BLANKET THE AREA TODAY WITH
DRIZZLE AND SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS. A BRIEF BREAK IN THE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL OCCUR LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY
BEFORE ANOTHER FAST MOVING SYSTEM TAKES AIM ON THE AREA. THIS
SYSTEM WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO THE
AREA FOR FRIDAY...ALONG WITH EVEN COLDER CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST
PART OF THE WEEKEND. AFTER MORNING LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER
30S...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH INTO THE LOW TO MID 40S TODAY.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 406 AM EDT THU APR 7 2016
LINGERING SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE TO PERSIST IN CYCLONIC FLOW. COMBINED
WITH COLD FLOW OVER LAKE MICHIGAN AND THERE COULD BE A FEW FLURRIES
MIX IN LATER TODAY. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS ALL HINT THAT THE STRATUS AND
SHOWERS/DRIZZLE WILL REMAIN THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE WEAK
SUBSIDENCE OVERSPREADS THE REGION AHEAD OF THE NEXT SHORT WAVE.
THE LONGWAVE PATTERN IS SUGGESSTIVE OF A RAPID SUCCESSION OF
SHORTWAVES EJECTING INTO THE TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES. TIMING THE
EXACT POSITION AND INTENSITY IS PROBLEMATIC...REGARDLESS THIS SETS
THE STAGE FOR CONTINUED REINFORCING SHOTS OF COLDER AIR FOR THE
EXTENDED.
MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER TO ISSUE HEADLINES FOR THE SUB-
FREEZING TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND BASED ON GROWTH. PRESENTLY WELL
HANDLED IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND THE FORECAST.
