Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
1203 AM EST Thu Nov 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 401 PM EST Wed Nov 14 2018

Clouds will continue to spread over the region ahead of an
incoming area of low pressure. Clouds will provide some insulation
overnight to promote lows in the upper 20s. Snow spreads in from
the south early Thursday morning, which can result in some
slippery travel conditions for the morning commute. Through
Thursday, freezing rain and sleet can mix in at times as
temperatures warm above freezing. Precipitation comes to an end
Thursday night. For the extended forecast, below normal
temperatures and couple of weak passing disturbances will be
monitored.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Thursday)
Issued at 318 PM EST Wed Nov 14 2018

Latest water vapor imagery and RUC analysis depicting deep closed
low over Arkansas this afternoon. Surface analysis showing
inverted trof associated with upper low extending from the eastern
gulf coast up into the Tennessee valley while high pressure was
still centered over the southern great lakes. Upper low expected
to lift northeast into southern Illinois tonight which will have
main surge of low level WAA displaced east of our area. Resulting
forecast soundings suggesting isothermal layer near 0C in the low
levels which will complicate precip type. Northern edge of precip
will reach the southern CWA after midnight tonight and begin as
primarily snow as good surface based cold layer initially should
have any partial melting changing back over to snow...with just a
possible mix with sleet. Surface temperatures expected to hover at
or slightly above freezing during the daytime hours and road
surface model indicating temperatures in mid-upper 30s and diurnal
timing would also trend surface temperatures more above freezing
as the event unfolds Thursday so plan for now is to hold off on
any headlines. Upper low slides east along the Ohio valley
Thursday afternoon leaving deformation axis moving across our area
and will have snow/rain chances continuing through the end of the
day.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Wednesday)
Issued at 318 PM EST Wed Nov 14 2018

System quickly exits to the east Thursday night and despite
lingering cyclonic flow winds expected to maintain a southerly
component to the westerly flow and limit any lake effect potential
for our area. Surface ridge axis will extend from the gulf coast
up through the Ohio valley and provide quiet weather for Friday.
Pattern flattens somewhat and brings a couple of weak systems
through region over the weekend. Generally quiet weather pattern
beginning next week with temperatures continuing well below
normal.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night)
Issued at 1203 AM EST Thu Nov 15 2018

VFR to start will rapidly deteriorate across the terminals 10-12Z
coincident with arrival of strong/deep ascent within downstream warm
advection push ahead of deep cyclone over srn IL. Brief mix of sleet
likely invof KFWA however rapidly deepening ascent plume will
overwhelm nwwd wrapping warm nose followed by a svrl hour period of
mod snow and IFR. This will diminish with nwd/wwd extent toward KSBN
owing to rapid newd progression of stout mid level dry slot but even
here expect a period of IFR in snow.

Slow improvement thereafter this aftn as inverted sfc trough is slow
to get east. Nevertheless IFR range bound cigs expected to persist
overnight.
