Area Forecast Discussion...Correction
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
332 PM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 310 PM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

Quiet and mainly dry weather is expected tonight through Wednesday
night. Temperatures will drop into the 20s tonight and then
recover to near 40 degrees by Wednesday afternoon. Snow showers
will be possible Thursday afternoon through Friday morning as
colder air filters in behind a cold front. Some light snow
accumulations are expected in far northern Indiana and Lower
Michigan. The weekend will feature temperatures slightly above
normal and mainly dry conditions...with rain possible by early
next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 310 PM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

Southern periphery of low level/moist cyclonic flow will sustain low
clouds northeast of US 30 into this evening and early overnight.
Boundary layer saturation taking place below -10C layer so it will
take seeding by a weak shortwave in westerly flow to possibly
produce a few flurries across mainly MI late this afternoon/evening.
Shortwave ridging and backing winds/anticyclonic flow in response to
upstream height falls will allow for stratus erosion in the far
north later tonight into Wednesday morning.

A strong northeast Pacific upper jet now just entering the Pacific
Northwest will work east and eventually carve out an amplifying mid-
upper trough through the Midwest/Great Lakes Wednesday night into
Thursday. A milder Wednesday will result in ramping southwest flow,
though shallow pre-frontal mixing depths should limit wind gusts
and max temps somewhat. Not expecting much more than mid level
clouds with associated isentropic ascent later Wednesday into
Wednesday night given lacking low level moisture return.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 310 PM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

Good surge of colder air in deep layer west-northwest flow will
result in a blustery Thursday. Steeping lapse rates and moistening
within deepening boundary layer (under mid level trough axis) should
promote the development of instability snow showers/flurries by
Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening, with the best opportunity
for more intense snow showers and light accumulations/impacts in
favored wnw flow lake effect snow belts as lake-850 mb temp
differentials push the mid-upper teens and convective layer rises
into DGZ. A transition to pure lake effect snow multibands into
areas mainly along/north of US 6 in IN/MI then becomes the story
Thursday night into early Friday morning before quickly diminishing
late Friday morning/afternoon as drier air/subsidence overwhelms.
Again, could see some minor accums/impacts in these areas into
Friday morning. Otherwise, Thursday night/Friday likely the coldest
days (only a few degrees below normal) through the long term
forecast.

Negative EPO (Eastern Pacific Oscillation) ridging developing over
Alaska will allow arctic air and troughing to settle into Western
North America this weekend, with this arctic airmass gradually
spilling into the North-Central US early next week...and into the
local area just beyond the forecast period (mid-Late week). This
process and resulting/renewed Southeast US ridging will support a
less amplified upper trough passage late Saturday into Saturday
night. Another delayed low level moisture response and northerly
track to associated sfc reflection track through the northern Great
Lakes will likely lead to another dry frontal passage.
Otherwise warmer in advance of this trailing cold front Saturday
with highs pushing near 40F.

Sunday into early next week will feature deepening/moistening
southwest flow and above normal temps with chances for mainly rain
in the Sunday night through Monday night periods as shortwave energy
lifts northeast out of Western US trough.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1155 AM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

Cloud base is expected to hover around fuel alternate this
afternoon but then slowly rise to VFR by 00z due to drier air
being advected into the area. Winds will remain out of the west
until early morning on the 28th when they will shift to become out
of the south. Flight conditions are expected to remain VFR when
the wind shift occurs.

&&

.IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IN...NONE.
MI...NONE.
OH...NONE.
LM...Small Craft Advisory until 11 PM EST this evening for LMZ043-
