Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
1250 PM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1227 PM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

A cold front moves through this afternoon with some showers, which
should help to allow the areas of fog to slowly dissipate. Drier
air works in during the overnight and should kick out any of the
lingering moisture especially south of route 30. Behind the cold
front, cold air combines with a west to northwest wind to allow
for snow around the region for the rest of the week. Today's
highs in the low to mid 40s will drop to the low to mid 20s
overnight. Highs will be in the low to mid 20s on Wednesday but
then highs will struggle to make it out of the teens Thursday and
Friday.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1111 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

2 issues to address on this update.

Although visibilities have decreased across parts of NW Ohio, will
not expand headlines with hope of more turbulent mixing taking
place over the next couple of hours as disturbance begins to
approach the area. Have issued a SPS to handle for now. Also,
after collaboration, do not plan to extend the advisory beyond 17Z
as front will be arriving in the west shortly there after and main
morning rush hour is over with, resulting in reduced impacts
travel wise.

Second issue to address is expansion of showers along/ahead of
cold front across Illinois. Based on trends and HRRR signals have
expanded likely pops further north and tried to add some timing to
the precip. HRRR would suggest that a limited thunder potential
and recent indications of at least the potential start of some
electrical activity south of Bloomington IL. Will monitor for now
and add if needed.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 415 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

Main stories of the short term will be fog potential today,
continued wet pattern through this afternoon, and increasing
winds/cold tonight, with onset of lake effect snow showers
possible late tonight into Wednesday.

Lower visibilities have been creeping east and north overnight as
low level inversion has strengthened with anomalous low level
moisture locked in place. Expecting deteriorating trend in vsbys
over the next few hours with areas of dense fog becoming more likely
for the 10Z-16Z timeframe. Will assess latest observations at top of
the hour, and may need to issue a dense fog advisory this morning
for all or perhaps southern/western portions of the forecast area.
May need to extend fog mention into this afternoon across
particularly northeast portions of the area.

Weak embedded upper level short wave will quickly exit the area
this morning taking the bulk of rain shower activity east of the area
after 12Z. Depth of moisture will diminish somewhat with passage of
this wave and with continued weakly perturbed southwest flow pockets
of light rain/drizzle will likely persist through early morning. A
fast moving, low amplitude short wave will quickly translate
eastward from the central Plains today and should interact with
eastward advancing low level baroclinic zone to promote
additional rain showers this afternoon from west to east.
Moderately impressive mid level lapse rates and weak elevated
instability should aid in shower development today with an outside
chance of an isolated storm although confidence in thunder is
quite low. Did increase PoPs to likely today given the above
factors.

Surface reflection will lift across the eastern Great Lakes tonight
with strengthening northwest winds and increasing low level cold
advection. Have some very low end concern that diminishing
synoptically forced precip could end as a very brief period of
drizzle or freezing drizzle this evening as cold air moves in and
mid levels dry out, but confidence in this scenario is too low for
forecast inclusion at this time. Deepening mixed layer should
supports gusts into the 20 to 30 mph range late tonight into
Wednesday.

Concern from post-06Z tonight into the long term period will be
prolonged lake effect snow shower chances. Current indications
suggest most pronounced low level cold advection push across
central/northern lower Michigan overnight, with an initial lack of
saturation in DGZ across far southern Lake Michigan. Questionable
deeper moisture profiles may be a concern through midday
Wednesday in terms of onset of more appreciable lake effect snow
showers. With confidence in impacts on the very low side for late
second period/early 3rd period, will defer any winter weather
advisory decision at this time.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 415 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

Main items of concern for the long term period will be prolonged
lake effect snow shower chances and much colder temperatures.

On Wednesday, inversion heights will increase during the day with
continued low/mid level cold advection. As mentioned in long term
section, still some lower confidence and uncertainty as to how
impactful lake effect will be for most of Wednesday given expected
background strong mid level subsidence and very dry mid levels. DGZ
should start to saturate by midday Wednesday with west-northwest
flow trajectories that should support better lake effect snow
chances. Will keep accums at a minimum however for the day Wednesday
given the above factors, but will need to watch this period as some
minor impacts could arise if more substantial lake effect snow
showers do develop considering strong surface winds gusting to
around 30 mph. Outside of lake effect clouds, mostly sunny skies are
expected to develop across southern/southwest portions of the area.

Lake effect snow showers are expected to increase in intensity some
time in the late Wednesday night/Thursday timeframe as a reinforcing
upper level trough brings deeper cold air southward and deeper lake
induced convective depths. Lake induced instability should peak
some time closer to the daybreak Thursday period. Some mid level
RH recovery is also expected by this period along with favorable
overlap of low level vertical motion with DGZ and SLRs of 20 to 1
or greater. It still appears as though 3 to 6 inch-type storm
total lake effect accumulations would be possible from Wednesday-
early Friday with the period of most potential accumulation late
Wednesday night-Thursday evening. Areas of greatest accumulation
and impact still looks to be mainly north of the Toll Road as
fetch should become more westerly during period of most favorable
lake effect parameters. West winds should remain gusty on Thursday
with gusts to 25 mph possible that will likely lead to some
blowing/drifting concerns also. Will hold off on advisory
headlines at this time given lack of confidence in impacts on
Wednesday, and still uncertainty in details regarding fetch and
longevity/extent of depth of lake induced instability.

In addition to lake effect, approach of aforementioned upper wave
and downstream strong baroclinicity could lead to corridor of
light snow developing, although confidence is low on placement
given strong baroclinicity/moisture gradients. Did increase PoPs
on Thursday into the low to mid chance range at this forecast
distance.

Outside of lake effect and low synoptic snow chances, biggest story
for Wednesday into the weekend will be on the much colder
temperatures in association with the arctic air mass. Highs should
be limited to the 15 to 20 degree range Thursday-Friday with lows in
the single digits Thursday night and Friday night. Most widespread
subzero wind chills still look to be Thursday night but will also be
possible Wednesday night and Friday night. A southwest Canadian mid
level trough may give some last lake effect chances on Saturday as
flow veers more northwesterly, but passage of this wave should be
followed by moderation in temps for early next week along with
another round of warm advection induced precip.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1227 PM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

Forecast area continues to be socked in with fog, but will see some
increased CIGs and VISBY as the area is affected by a cold front.
Scattered showers along the front will move west to east and will
most likely allow some improvement of CIGs and VISBY. Drier air
moves in after 7PM and should see some breaks in the clouds just
after midnight at both sites. Then lake enhanced cloud cover affects
mainly SBN, but also possibly FWA with a gusty WNW wind.
