Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
653 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 643 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016

A change to sleet and snow has begun across the areas as moisture
and cold air pushes into the region. In addition to standing water creating
icing hazards on roadways, a cold front with snow will push
through the area overnight. Lake effect snowfall is also forecast
to occur with the most amounts of snow occurring in Laporte and
Berrien counties, but some snow in adjacent counties as well in
the morning Sunday. Thereafter, dangerous wind chills and more cold
air will return for later Sunday and Monday.

Mainly light freezing drizzle rain mixing with and changing to light
snow this evening will continue to create slick travel conditions
on untreated roads. An arctic front will bring a return to more
snow mid to late evening. Laporte and Berrien Counties will
likely have an intense burst of heavy lake effect snow late
tonight into Sunday morning with several inches of snow
accumulation expected. Dangerous wind chills and bone chilling
cold will follow Sunday and Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Sunday)
Issued at 220 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016

Largely a fzdz event this aftn nwd of stalled polar front through
srn IN as lack of moisture aloft within staunch mid level dry
slot prevents ice nucleation. That will change though going
forward into this evening as CO sw trough streaks out and in
advance of arctic front dropping out of the upper midwest.
However three fold problem exists overnight... 1) influence of
lower MS valley convection and nwd reach... 2) intensity/longevity
of mid level fgen induced snow band ahead of arctic front and 3)
evolution of intense lake based single band.

12Z highres guidance signals admittedly poor with considerable
signal spread. 1) Proximity of frontal zone would suggest some
shallow convective echoes will clip far se counties this evening
with some concern for more significant icing potential given
continued warm nose aloft much like latest HRRR/RAP suggest. 2)
Upstream radars show narrow but vigorous snow band along arctic
front which will streak up across se WI late this aftn. Secondary as
robust or moreso band expected to develop through wrn or cntrl zones
toward late evening ahead of shearing mid level sw. 3) Finally long
axis CYCLONICALLY curved intense single lake induced snow band
already in progress off the east shoreline of WI and expected to
turn south this evening and inland into nw IN by midnight. Ern
extent/initial placement much in doubt per highly varied highres
guidance yet given how intense upstream cold advection is behind
the arctic front (i.e. wrn MN down to -10 and -25 upstream in ND)
suspect extreme lake thermal trough will favor a position more
toward mid lake versus the ern shoreline prior to lake based
thermal trough weakening and this feature opening up eastward
across nrn zones later Sun morning.

Given the above along with general short term highres trends...will
extend WW.Y far se til 04Z for potential of additional icing and
will hold with nwrn WW.Y intact through 18Z Sun. Once lake band
location becomes more apparent...warning upgrade for some likely.
In between will allow to expire as scheduled from earlier
extension at 01Z which allows evening shift plenty of time to
monitor whether or not a targeted extension of middle zones will
be needed pending if/where secondary snow band develops.

Otherwise temps crashing through the day on Sun as intense arctic
ridge works east.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday)
Issued at 220 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016

Intense arctic ridge over the area Sun night will work quickly
ewd off the atlantic coast by early Tue as upstream CONUS flow
temporarily flattens. This will bring about rapid/significant temp
moderation through mid week. Weak moisture starved short amplitude
clipper will amplify through the lakes late Wed into Thu with some
light snow possible assuming it digs far enough south otherwise
dry for the remainder of the period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday Evening)
Issued at 643 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016

The base of the trough affects the region overnight and into Sunday
with cold air and added moisture. The region does show an increase
in midlevel cooling and moisture so expect a ramp up to more
precipitation with sleet and freezing rain changing to snow. As the
cold front approaches and moves through, expect any light snow to
change to more moderate snow and more widespread IFR conditions
within the midlevel area of frontogenesis. The warm layer has been
pretty pesky this afternoon so the snow may take a little while
longer to reach FWA. Then the attention turns to lake effect snow
that looks to set up around 12z and last into the morning. There is
still a question about where the strongest snow band sets up, but
believe it will be west of SBN with some snow reaching SBN.
Improving conditions are expected to follow as dryness moves in.
