THE SURFACE MAP THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A 1034MB HIGH OVER THE PLAINS...AND A 1000MB LOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR NORTHEAST. THIS LEFT INDIANA IN BETWEEN THE TWO WITH A TIGHT NORTHERLY GRADIENT. LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WERE SEEN ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA...WITH A FEW FLURRIES OCCASIONALLY DROPPING SOUTH INTO CENTRAL INDIANA. ALOFT AT H5 THE GENERAL FLOW PATTERN SHOWED A RIDGE OFF OF EACH COAST WITH A DEEPENING TROUGH IN THE NATIONS MIDSECTION. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WERE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST AND DIVING TOWARDS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. MODELS WERE VERY SIMILAR IN THEIR EVOLUTION OF THE PATTERN. MOS GUIDANCE WAS ALSO QUITE CLOSE AND WAS BLENDED FOR THIS PACKAGE. FOR TONIGHT...THE LOW WILL DEPART QUICKLY THROUGH NEW ENGLAND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. IN TURN THE GRADIENT WILL SLACKEN CONSIDERABLY AFTER 00Z TONIGHT. ANY LINGERING FLURRIES SHOULD ALSO END...AS THE NORTHERLY FLOW SHIFTS TO THE EAST. SOME LINGERING 925MB MOISTURE WILL KEEP CLOUDS IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH CLEARING FROM THE WEST LATE. THE COMBINATION OF SOME CLOUDS AND THE WINDS EARLY WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM FREE FALLING. H8 TEMPS OF -10C WILL ALLOW LOWS IN THE MID 20S MOST SPOTS. FOR FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AND PROVIDE QUIET AND COLD WEATHER. WITH H8 TEMPS OF -8C...HIGHS IN THE UPPER 30S WILL BE COMMON. OVERNIGHT FRIDAY...WHILE H8 TEMPS HAVE WARMED A LITTLE BIT...SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR AND WINDS WILL BE LIGHT.

BUT MIXING WILL NOT BE GREAT WITH THE CLOUDS AND SURFACE HIGH IN PLACE...SO TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 40S. OVERNIGHT SATURDAY ANOTHER COOL NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE HANGING AROUND. SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO NIGHTS AS THERE IS A GENERAL RISING OF THICKNESS VALUES INDICATING A MODERATING AIRMASS. LOWS SHOULD STILL BE IN THE UPPER 20S IN MOST SPOTS. THINGS WILL START TO GET MORE INTERESTING ON SUNDAY. A SHORTWAVE THAT IS CURRENTLY OVER WESTERN NEVADA WILL DIVE SOUTH AND CARVE OUT A CUTOFF IN WEST TEXAS. THIS WILL BUILD WARM ADVECTION AND RIDGING INTO THE MIDWEST...WHICH WILL PUSH H8 TEMPS ABOVE 0C AND HIGHS INTO THE UPPER 40S. OVERNIGHT SUNDAY THE CUTOFF WILL LIFT EASTWARD AND BRING GULF MOISTURE NORTH INTO WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN OVERRUNNING SITUATION. PRECIP SHOULD SPREAD FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE OVERNIGHT....WITH THE DRY SURFACE AIRMASS HOLDING THINGS OFF A BIT. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK DIRECTLY ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM ENOUGH FOR THE PRECIP TO FALL IN ALL LIQUID DURING THIS EVENT. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO HIGH CHANCE OR LIKELY CATEGORY. DESPITE THE VERY MILD H8 TEMPS...THE CLOUDS AND PRECIP WILL HOLD TEMPS IN THE UPPER 40S. PRECIP SHOULD TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT...WITH THE LOW QUICKLY EXITING TO THE EAST. TEMPS WILL COOL SLIGHTLY...BUT REMAIN NEAR NORMAL AS THE H5 PATTERN WILL BE MORE OR LESS ZONAL AT THIS TIME.
