Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
330 PM EST Wed Jan 4 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 330 PM EST Wed Jan 4 2017

Arctic air will remain in place through the upcoming weekend with
much below normal temperatures. Lake effect snow showers will
be across mainly southern lower Michigan, far northern Indiana and
extreme northwest Ohio tonight through Friday with several inches
of snow accumulation possible. An upper level disturbance may
bring a period of light snow to areas south of route 30 later
tonight through early Thursday morning. Mainly dry otherwise with
the next chance for precipitation and warmer temperatures by
early next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 330 PM EST Wed Jan 4 2017

Intrusion of arctic air will keep temperatures well below normal
through the end of the week with the main focus on prolonged lake
effect snow event along/north of US 6 in IN/MI...

Continued push of cold air over relatively warmer lake MI waters
(Lake-8H temp differentials well into the 20s) will continue to
generate scattered to numerous lake effect snow showers (multi-
bands) in favored westerly flow snow belts through at least Friday
morning. Dry air and westerly fetch are definite limiting factors
for heavier snow amounts/rates and significant impacts to travel,
though will need to monitor later tonight into Thursday as added
moisture/lift from a pivoting mid level shortwave potentially allows
for an increase in areal coverage and intensity of lake effect snow.
Secondary shot of cold advection and some veering in wake of
shortwave should keep lake effect snow activity going into Friday
morning. Overall, favored west flow snow belts should see between 1
and 5 inches by Friday. Subsequent shifts will have to monitor for a
possible advisory in St Joe IN/Elkhart/LaGrange/Berrien/Cass MI/St
Joe MI/Branch counties. As for now...will continue to cover possible
travel impacts in the HWO/social media as confidence in widespread
travel disruptions not quite high enough for areas that can
likely handle a couple inches of snow over several days.

Mainly dry/cold elsewhere, save for narrow band of light snow that
may clip our southern zones (generally south of US 30 in IN and
south of US 24 in OH) later tonight through early Thursday afternoon.
This band of snow will be tied to the aforementioned shortwave/round
of height falls expected to pivot southeast through the region.
Stronger fgen/baroclinic response with this feature looks to set up
just to the south of the local forecast area, so have kept PoPs in
the chance range and accumulations less than a half inch.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 330 PM EST Wed Jan 4 2017

The next shortwave embedded in nw flow looks to sustain cold
conditions into the weekend. This renewed surge of cold air and veer
more NNW may bring additional lake effect snow to wnw belts later
Saturday into Sunday morning.

Early next week will feature a moderating trend as flow pattern
flattens out and warm advection kicks in. A lower amplitude
shortwave trough embedded in this flow will bring chances for
precipitation by Tuesday/Wednesday...with ensemble guidance hinting
at a Central Plains to Northern Great Lakes sfc reflection track. If
this comes to fruition precip would likely start as a wintry mix
early Tuesday before changing over to all rain Tuesday afternoon
into early Wednesday. With this said there is a lot of spread in
guidance with changes inevitable over the coming days.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon)
Issued at 1229 PM EST Wed Jan 4 2017

Lake effect snow showers were penetrating well inland off of
strong west to northwest winds. Slightly backing low level winds
has helped push stronger snow showers north of both KSBN and KFWA.
KSBN could see occasional stronger bands with MVFR VIS but with
expected MVFR cigs no need to try and add any VIS restrictions as
timing would be impossible. Trajectories and satellite suggest
some partial clearing currently just south of KSBN could sneak
in there later this afternoon or evening for a brief period but
typically clouds hold with westerly fetch so kept persistent MVFR
conditions through the period. Diurnal CU development on southern
flank of lake clouds closer to KFWA to likely keep them MVFR until
CU field dissipates later this afternoon and conditions become
VFR. Will be watching system to our south for Thursday as some
models are creeping it northward and this could bring some MVFR
VIS and CIGs into KFWA with light snow mid morning Thursday.
Confidence currently low on this scenario.

&&

.IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IN...NONE.
MI...NONE.
OH...NONE.
LM...Gale Warning until 7 PM EST this evening for LMZ043-046.
