Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
1234 AM EST Fri Dec 8 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1227 AM EST Fri Dec 8 2017

Partly to mostly clear skies will continue overnight. Low
temperatures will drop down to the teens and low 20s. We'll see
increasing cloud cover throughout the day Friday as a clipper
system approaches the area. Highs will be in the 30s. This system
will bring widespread light snow to the entire area Friday night
into Saturday morning. Most locations will receive between 1 and
3 inches of snow. This will transition to lake effect snow across
northwest Indiana and southwest Lower Michigan Saturday afternoon
into Saturday evening, with locally higher accumulations possible.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 248 PM EST Thu Dec 7 2017

Leftover light lake effect snow showers and flurries, mainly north of
US 20 in far nrn IN/lower MI, will continue to diminish in coverage
and intensity late this afternoon into early this evening. This
will occur as inversion heights lower in response to drying/subsidence
and gradual low level backing. Little additional accumulations/impacts
are anticipated. Dry and continued chilly otherwise into tonight and
Friday...with sunny skies tomorrow morning giving away to increasing
afternoon clouds across nw IN/lower MI in advance of the next
shortwave.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 248 PM EST Thu Dec 7 2017

An active northwest flow regime will remain in place into this
weekend and next week thanks to a highly amplified western NOAM
ridge/eastern NOAM upper trough +PNA configuration. The result will
be a continuation of below normal temps and several opportunities
for snow (and lake effect snow) as several vort lobes rotate
southeast through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.

The first mid level shortwave will impact the local area later
Friday night into Saturday morning. This feature continues to look
rather impressive as it drops almost due south from the Arctic Cycle
with pv intrusion deep to near 700 mb. Associated mid level
DCVA/100-150m 5H height falls will elicit a period of stronger
isentropic ascent (40 kts of cross isobaric flow) along and in
advance of system sfc trough later Friday night through mid
morning Saturday morning. A period of light snow will accompany
this forcing, though amounts should generally be limited to 1-3"
given limited moisture return and rather quick west to east
progression of this large scale synoptic forcing. Snow showers
will likely persist into the late morning and early afternoon
under the vort max, with heavier/brief bursts possible given
steepening low-mid level lapse rates under cold(er) pocket aloft.
Roads will likely be slick in many locations during this time.
Will continue to cover possible impacts through social media and
HWO for now.

Attention later Saturday morning through Saturday evening will turn
to possible significant lake enhanced/effect snow into our nnw
flow lake belts. A single band or a couple stronger multi-bands
look to set up set up as nnw flow parallels the long axis of the
lake resulting in strong frictional/thermal convergence over
eastern Lake MI, especially morning through early afternoon given
deeper layer synoptic support. Good omega and super- saturation
with respect to ice within the dendritic growth zone (per latest
fcst soundings) continues to hint at the potential for decent
flake size/snow-to-liquid ratios wherever shallow convection
organizes (possibly offset some by stronger winds). Brief Lake
Superior/long Lake MI connection and sufficient thermodynamics
(lake-800 mb differentials in the 20s/inversion heights 7-10
kft/0-2km theta-e lapse rates to -2 k/km) are also in place even
into the aftn/eve as any synoptic moisture/support exits off to
the east. So, the potential is definitely there for a headline
level event. However, the obvious uncertainties at this fcst range
are where exactly better banding materializes (pivots) and if the
diurnal component/disruption and stronger boundary layer flow
keeps activity more cellular. With that said think there is enough
confidence and model agreement to issue a Winter Storm Watch (>50%
confidence) for LaPorte/St Joe IN/Berrien counties later Friday
night through Saturday evening. Opted to leave surrounding
counties (Starke/Marshall/Elkhart/Cass MI) out of a watch for now
as not as confident in persistence of LES and warning level
impacts. Anticipate these areas needing at least a SPS or advisory
at some point.

The pattern remains relentless into next week as several
more clipper systems move through with snow chances (followed by
heavier lake effect snow?) and reinforcing shots of cold air. The
upper wave on Monday and another LES event in its wake Monday
night/Tuesday looks to be the next clipper system to watch.
The responsible pv anomaly appears to have a more pronounced low-
mid level thermal gradient and slightly better moisture to work
with around Monday. This could result in another 1-3" or more type
swath of snow (mainly along/north of US 30 per latest
guidance)...possibly followed by another LES event.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued at 1227 AM EST Fri Dec 8 2017

VFR Conditions prevail through the TAF period, with the primary
concern being increasing southwesterly winds Friday afternoon ahead
of the incoming clipper system. Expect increasing clouds towards the
later end of the period, with maybe some light snow at KSBN around 4-
6Z Friday night. Greater snow impacts are expected just beyond the
TAF period, but will cover more about that in the next update.
