Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
652 AM EST Sat Jan 11 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 441 AM EST Sat Jan 11 2020

A strong storm system will bring rain, heavy at times with
embedded thunderstorms through midday. Additional rainfall totals
of 1.5 to 2 inches. In the wake of the system, precipitation will
being to changeover snow late this afternoon through tonight. A
period of freezing rain, possibly mixed with sleet, is expected
across extreme northern Indiana through southern Lower Michigan.
Watch for flooded roads, streams and creeks. Widespread moderate
river flooding will occur. Dry weather returns for Sunday and
Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 430 AM EST Sat Jan 11 2020

Extraordinary bulk moisture in place across CWA with ample Pacific
sourced mid/high level moisture and now lower level GOMEX feed.
Precipitable water values of around 1.25 inches is higher than
max moving average per SPC Climatology Page and one of the higher
end amount in January. Extreme upper vertical motion profiles as
well with 60 knot 925 mb jet from southern Illinois at this time
to track northeast to northwest Ohio by daybreak. Further,
collocation of right rear 200 kt 300 mb jet greatly enhanced
upward vertical motion, providing strong upright updrafts.
Elevated instability of 100-200 J/kg with strong forced parcel
ascent should provide uptick in embedded thunderstorm potential.
No changes with respect to flood watch with additional 1-1.25
inches southeast of Blackford City to Lima line, ramping to an
extra 2.5 inches. Widespread moderate river flooding risk remains
on track, as well as ponded water roadways already being
reported. Other lesser shortwave ejections/frontal waves through
midday, though less intense of present one, that is lifting from
southwest CWA to south central Michigan next couple of hours.

While some lesser frontal waves to track through area into
midday, a much stronger wave lifts through eastern CWA late this
afternoon/evening , and adding more efficient runoff to area due
to preconditioning with yesterday's rainfall.

Northeast ejection of upper low through early tonight ahead of
northern stream kicker with no sensible weather concerns after
midnight tonight.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 435 AM EST Sat Jan 11 2020

Development of broad trough over western half CONUS to provide a
respite Sunday/Monday along with a warming trend/building heights
across southern Great Lakes. Eventual weak system moves through
downstream portion of trough with a chance of rain, possibly mixed
with snow, late Monday night into Tuesday. Next eastern Colorado
system into southwest portion of Upper Great Lakes Wednesday
afternoon, with a very good chance of rain, mixing with and
changing to snow Wednesday night, though do not anticipate any
appreciable accumulation. Temperatures return to near normal
Thursday into the weekend in wake of cold frontal passage.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday Morning)
Issued at 644 AM EST Sat Jan 11 2020

Deep layer moisture flux will continue as a strong upper level
system lifts northeast out of Texas today in response to an
upstream interaction with another system. Very high precipitable
water values for this time of year will help bring moderate to
heavy rains over northern Indiana. A cold front was near SBN
and was moving southeast. Much colder air will spreading
southeast behind the front. The temperatures at SBN should fall
below freezing by 00Z, so have kept freezing rain with an
eventual transition to snow overnight. This freezing time may
need to be adjusted and will have a major impact on precipitation
type. A period of sleet is also possible overnight, but for now
have not included it in the SBN TAF. Otherwise, MVFR ceiling were
mainly southeast of the front with IFR to LIFR conditions behind
the front. It looks like conditions will become IFR behind the
front as the colder air moves southeast. Have SBN becoming IFR
this morning, with some improvement tonight.
