Winter Storm in Indiana, January 31, 2008

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO IL
300 PM CST THU JAN 31 2008

.DISCUSSION...
300 PM CST

MAIN FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON THE NEXT DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM
THAT IS CURRENTLY SPINNING UP IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

IN ADVANCE OF OUR SYSTEM DOWN SOUTH...SNOW HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE
LEADING EDGE OF AN 850MB TEMPERATURE GRADIENT THAT SHOULD EITHER
REMAIN RATHER STATIONARY OR SLOWLY ROTATE NORTHWESTWARD. IN
ADDITION...THE GULF HAS OPENED UP WITH A 30 TO 40KT LOW LEVEL JET
PUMPING MOISTURE UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY UP INTO THE
REGION. LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW HAS ALREADY DROPPED ABOUT A HALF
INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF FROM NORTHERN WILL COUNTY ON UP THROUGH
COOK COUNTY. SEEING AS HOW THIS SNOW HAS ALREADY STARTED UP AND
CAUSED AN IMPACT ON THE REGION...AND UPSTREAM RADAR REFLECTIVITY
TRENDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE...WILL BE STARTING UP THE WINTER STORM
WARNING/SNOW ADVISORY AT THE START OF THE FORECAST ISSUANCE AT
3PM.

AS FOR THE MAIN SHOW...CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE INITIAL
LOW THAT DEVELOPED YESTERDAY IN WESTERN OKLAHOMA IS STARTING TO
WEAKEN WITH THE MAIN LOW THAT IS GOING TO BRING HEAVY SNOW TO THE
REGION CURRENTLY TRACKING ACROSS THE GULF COAST IN LOUISIANA. THIS
LOW WILL START LIFTING NORTHWARD ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND
ON INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE/KENTUCKY AND INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA BY
FRIDAY MORNING. MID LEVEL CHARTS AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOW A
CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY PROPAGATING THROUGH CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA. THIS LOW WILL BECOME MORE NEGATIVELY TILTED THIS EVENING
WHICH WILL HELP WITH THE DEEPENING AND THE EVENTUAL OCCLUSION OF
THE SURFACE LOW. THE FORECAST MODELS HAVE BEEN IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH TAKING THIS SURFACE LOW ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED
TRACK. THE MORE INTENSE SNOW WILL START UP IN THE LATE EVENING AND
LAST THROUGH THE MORNING ON FRIDAY. SNOWFALL RATES WILL AT TIMES
BE AROUND AN INCH TO PERHAPS TWO INCHES AN HOUR IN THE HEAVIEST
SNOW BANDS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALSO RAISES A BIT OF CONFIDENCE
THAT WE WILL BE REACHING THE HIGH SNOWFALL TOTALS IS THE LONGEVITY
OF THE SNOWFALL WITH IT LASTING FROM NOW THROUGH THE EARLY
AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY. UPON TOUCHING UP THE SNOWFALL GRIDS...HAVE
DECIDED THAT THE REST OF THE COUNTIES IN THE CWA SHOULD BE ADDED
TO THE SNOW ADVISORY AND HAVE ALSO ADDED KENDALL COUNTY TO THE
WINTER STORM WARNING.

AS FOR STORM SNOWFALL TOTALS...AM EXPECTING ABOUT 3 TO 6 INCHES
ACROSS THE SNOW ADVISORY AREA WHICH RUNS FROM LAKE COUNTY
SOUTHWEST THROUGH KANE AND LASALLE COUNTIES ON NORTHWEST FROM
THERE. FROM NORTHERN COOK COUNTY DOWN THROUGH
DUPAGE...KENDALL...GRUNDY AND ON INTO LIVINGSTON
COUNTIES...EXPECTING ABOUT 6 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW. FROM SOUTHERN
COOK COUNTY SOUTHWARD TO FORD COUNTY AND EAST FROM THERE INTO
NORTHWEST INDIANA...AM EXPECTING ABOUT 8 TO 12 INCHES WITH SOME
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. HAVE ALSO ADDED
SOME BLOWING SNOW FOR FRIDAY MORNING AS WINDS BECOME GUSTY TO
AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH. WITH THESE WINDS BECOMING MORE EAST-
NORTHEASTERLY AND EVENTUALLY NORTHERLY THROUGH THE EVENT...SOME
LAKE ENHANCEMENT OF THE SNOW SEEMS POSSIBLE BUT PROBABLY NOT
OVERWHELMING AS THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE LAKE AND THE LOWER LEVEL AIR. AS WINDS GO MORE
NORTHERLY DURING THE DAY FRIDAY SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW WILL
LINGER ON THE BACK EDGE OF THE SYSTEM AND PERHAPS DEPOSIT ANOTHER
HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF SNOW BY THE TIME ALL THINGS ARE SAID AND
DONE.

NOT MANY CHANGES MADE IN THE REST OF THE PERIOD LEADING UP TO THE
EXTENDED PERIOD...BUT DID UNDERCUT TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE A FEW
DEGREES FOR SATURDAY WITH THE NEW SNOW COVER IN PLACE EVEN THOUGH
WE WILL BE IN A LIGHT WARM AIR ADVECTION REGIME. A CLIPPER SYSTEM
PROPAGATING ALONG THE US/CANADIAN BORDER WILL DROP A WEAK
FRONT/TROF THROUGH THE REGION...BUT ANY CHANCES FOR PRECIP WITH
THIS SEEMS MINIMAL.

HALBACH

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

300 PM...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION SUNDAY...WILL MOVE EAST TO
NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER
THE PLAINS. WAA BEGINS SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A WARM FRONT PUSHING NORTH
ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY MORNING. SUNDAY EVENING STARTS DRY BUT PRECIP
EVENTUALLY SPREADS NORTH OVERNIGHT. THERMAL PROFILES SUGGEST LOW
TEMPS MAY OCCUR IN THE EVENING WITH STEADY OR SLOWLY RISING TEMPS
INTO MONDAY MORNING. SOUNDINGS SUPPORT A CHANCE OF FREEZING RAIN
UNTIL SFC TEMPS WARM ABOVE FREEZING...BUT QPF AMOUNTS LOOK LIGHT AT
THIS POINT. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW ON MONDAY SHOULD MAKE FOR A WARMER
AND BREEZY DAY...TEMPERED PERHAPS BY SNOW PACK THAT FALLS TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY. AS THE SFC LOW CONTINUES NORTHEAST MONDAY NIGHT...A
COLD FRONT SWINGS ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. GIVEN
THE CURRENT HYDROLOGY SITUATION...ANY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL
NEXT WEEK MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. IT DOES APPEAR THAT A BAND
OF A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH...MAYBE MORE...OF RAINFALL WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONT BUT IT/S TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE WHERE THIS
MAY OCCUR. BUT POTENTIAL FOR ANY HEAVY RAIN DURING THIS TIME WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED CAREFULLY INTO THIS WEEKEND. ANOTHER RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY WITH
ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA BY THURSDAY EVENING.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...FEW CHANGES TO GOING GRIDS WHICH ARE IN LINE
WITH LATEST MEX NUMBERS. WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF NEW SNOW...HIGH
TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY AND LIKELY ONLY LOW/MID 30S EXCEPT MONDAY AS
STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW SETS UP. ALSO INDICATED STEADY/SLOWLY RISING
TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. CMS
