The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
A low pressure system brought accumulating snow to central Indiana on February 21st, starting in the early morning hours and continuing into the early afternoon. Snowfall amounts were generally from 3 to 7 inches. Across far southern portions of central Indiana, a mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow fell, with overall lower snow amounts. During the mid to late afternoon, skies became partly cloudy and allowed temperatures to climb into the 30s.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1026 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015 .UPDATE... THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 315 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015 COMPLEX WINTER STORM SET TO IMPACT CENTRAL INDIANA BEGINNING TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH SATURDAY. SNOW WILL BE THE MAIN PRECIPITATION TYPE FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL INDIANA...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SLEET... FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN TO MIX IN FURTHER SOUTH. SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE ANTICIPATED. A REINFORCING BLAST OF COLD ARCTIC AIR WILL BRING A RETURN TO WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... ISSUED AT 1026 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015 ...COMPLEX WINTER STORM TO IMPACT CENTRAL INDIANA... PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF CENTRAL INDIANA THIS EVENING AS SYSTEM BEGINS TO GET ORGANIZED. PRECIPITATION TYPE IS SNOW IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND A MIX OF SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND SOUTHERN INDIANA. WITH SYSTEM STILL DEVELOPING AM HESITANT TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER...LATEST SHORT TERM MODEL DATA AS WELL AS 00Z NAM SHIFT THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS OF SNOW SOUTH. THIS IS LIKELY DUE IN PART TO FOCUS OF 850 JET BEING TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA AND BEST FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ALSO BEING TO THE SOUTH. THUS NUDGED AMOUNTS DOWN CENTRAL AND NUDGED UP A BIT IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE WARMER AIR ALOFT WILL HAVE A HARDER TIME GETTING IN. STILL EXPECT WIDESPREAD 3 TO 6 INCHES ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO 8 INCHES WHERE BANDED PRECIPITATION SETS UP. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE OVERNIGHT...BUT NOT QUITE AS FAST AS EARLIER FORECAST. ADJUSTED AS NECESSARY. RELEVANT PORTION OF PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... FORECAST CHALLENGES REMAIN SQUARELY FOCUSED ON THE COMPLEX WINTER STORM SET TO BEGIN IMPACTING THE REGION THIS EVENING AND CONTINUING THROUGH SATURDAY. THE 12Z MODEL SUITE HAS HELPED CLARIFY THE DETAILS...BUT THERE REMAIN A FEW CAVEATS THAT COULD STILL CAUSE SOME ALTERATIONS FROM CURRENT THINKING. THERE STILL REMAIN SOME DIFFERENCE WITH RESPECT TO PRECIP AMOUNTS AND PRECIP TYPE ACROSS PARTS OF THE REGION...BUT HAVE STRONG CONFIDENCE IN A HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM OVER ALL OF CENTRAL INDIANA. REMNANTS OF THE DRY ARCTIC AIRMASS CONTINUE TO BE SLOWLY ERODED FROM THE TOP DOWN BY INTENSIFYING WARM ADVECTION. ONSET OF MORE SUBSTANTIAL ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS SHOULD FURTHER THE MOISTENING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER. EXPECT A RATHER QUICK TRANSITION TO PRECIP ONSET DURING THE EVENING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AS THE COLUMN FULLY SATURATES AND THE ARRIVAL OF A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET INTO THE TENNESSEE AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS PUMPS INCREASING AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. IN ADDITION...A PHASED WEST-EAST DUAL UPPER JET STRUCTURE WILL PROMOTE UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY AND ONLY FURTHER ENHANCE PRECIP RATES. THE LOW LEVEL WARM AIR INTRUSION REMAINS A VALID CONCERN OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY. DESPITE BULK OF THE MODELS COMING IN COLDER WITH ABOVE FREEZING AIR ALOFT BEING CONFINED FURTHER SOUTH...EXPECT WARM ADVECTION WILL OVERPERFORM AS IT ALWAYS DOES IN THESE SCENARIOS. A BIG REASON FOR THIS THINKING...SEVERAL OF THE MODELS HAVE REALLY IMPRESSIVE 850MB JET STRUCTURES PASSING BY TO THE SOUTH LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY...WITH 70-80KT AT THE CORE. EVEN WITH THE DEEP SNOWPACK TO OUR SOUTH...DO NOT SEE HOW AT LEAST SOME ABOVE FREEZING AIR IN THE LOWEST 5KFT MAKES IT NORTH INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA. MODEL SOUNDINGS AND ANALYSIS OF THE 925-850MB LAYER SUGGESTS THAT MIXING WILL COMMENCE OVER THE LOWER WABASH VALLEY AFTER MIDNIGHT AND SPREAD SLOWLY NORTHEAST INTO SATURDAY MORNING. JUST TAKING SOUNDINGS VERBATIM WOULD SUPPORT MIXED PRECIPITATION BEING HELD SOUTH OF I-70 WITH BIGGEST ICING POTENTIAL OVER FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. WOULD PREFER TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SLEET MIXING IN WITH THE SNOW ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE I-70 CORRIDOR ALONG A ROCKVILLE-INDY METRO-NEW CASTLE LINE SATURDAY MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY POTENTIAL LAST MINUTE WOBBLES TO STORM TRACK AND FOR THE FACT THAT WARMER BOUNDARY LAYER AIR ALWAYS TENDS TO MAKE IT A BIT FURTHER NORTH THAN FORECAST. LET ME STRESS THOUGH THAT FEEL SNOW WILL LIKELY REMAIN THE PREDOMINANT PRECIP TYPE IN THE I-70 CORRIDOR AND POINTS JUST SOUTH. ITS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES WHERE THE MIXED PRECIP WILL MAKE A MUCH BIGGER DENT IN TOTAL SNOW ACCUMS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR RAIN TO MIX IN OR EVEN BECOME THE MAIN PRECIP TYPE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SATURDAY. STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT FREEZING RAIN POTENTIAL OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS WELL WITH GROUND TEMPS LAGGING NEAR SURFACE LAYER WARMING. THIS COULD PRESENT SOME ADDITIONAL ICING ISSUES ON ROADWAYS. ON A MESOSCALE LEVEL...A ROBUST MID LEVEL DEFORMATION AXIS WITH A MODEST DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE PLUS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME CONDITIONAL INSTABILITY COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HIGHER RATES/AMOUNTS OF SNOWFALL. WHERE THESE FEATURES LINE UP WITH THE DEEPER MOISTURE AND LIMITED TO NO MIXING OF PRECIP WILL BE WHERE HIGHEST SNOWFALLS OCCUR. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW AND FOR THE SNOW DEPRIVED THIS WINTER ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE...BELIEVE THIS WILL SET UP NEAR THE I-70 CORRIDOR. TAKING ALL OF THIS INTO ACCOUNT AND WITH HIGHER QPF VALUES LIKELY VALID DUE TO THE STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...MADE THE DECISION TO EXPAND THE WINTER STORM WARNING OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM 4 TO 8 INCHES OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE BANDING POTENTIAL MENTIONED ABOVE SUPPORTING 6 TO 8 INCHES. STILL COULD SEE SOME FLUCTUATION TO WHERE THIS SPECIFICALLY SETS UP BUT AS STATED ABOVE...THINK THOSE IN THE I-70 CORRIDOR FINALLY CASH IN. FURTHER SOUTH...SLEET...FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN WILL INCREASINGLY CUT INTO SNOW AMOUNTS. EXPECT SNOW TOTALS RANGING FROM 2-3 INCHES OVER FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES UP TO 4-6 NORTH OF A COLUMBUS-BLOOMINGTON LINE. IN ADDITION...EXPECT ICE ACCUMS AS WELL MAKING FOR AN ABSOLUTE MESS OVER THE REMNANT SNOWPACK. ANY SUBTLE SHIFT NORTH OR SOUTH IN DEPTH OF WARM AIR INTRUSION WILL LEAD TO CHANGES IN PRECIP TYPE...ACCUMS AND IMPACTS IN SOUTHERN COUNTIES. ADJUSTED TIMING ON THE WARNING TO 00Z TONIGHT TO 00Z SAT NIGHT. TEMPS...HIGHS WILL BE REACHED AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH STEADILY RISING TEMPS OVERNIGHT AS WARM ADVECTION STRENGTHENS. SURFACE TEMPS WILL WARM TO NEAR 32F IN SOUTHWEST BY DAYBREAK WITH THE ENTIRE REGION INTO THE 30S SATURDAY. ONCE AGAIN...MOS LOOKS FAR TOO GENEROUS WITH WARMING CONSIDERING AMBIENT CONDITIONS AND LEANED MUCH CLOSER TO COOLER RAW TEMPS. KEPT MAX TEMPS 30-35 FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT/... ISSUED AT 315 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015 PRECIP WILL CHANGE BACK OVER TO SNOW BEFORE ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY EVENING. COLDER AIR WILL SPILL BACK INTO THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER STRONG ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS SOUTH OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS. DESPITE THE DRIER AIR EXPANDING INTO CENTRAL INDIANA...MOISTURE WILL LINGER IN THE LOWER LEVELS. BESIDE CLOUDS BEING SLOW TO CLEAR...COULD EVEN MAKE AN ARGUMENT FOR A PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL NOT INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME BUT THIS IS SOMETHING TO MONITOR. TEMPS...QUITE A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE MAV AND MET SATURDAY NIGHT. SUSPECT THE MAV IS A BIT TOO AGGRESSIVE IN BRINGING THE COLDER AIR IN BUT ALSO FEEL THE MET OVERALL IS TOO WARM. GENERALLY TOOK A BLEND OF AVAILABLE GUIDANCE. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... ISSUED AT 315 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015 ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN LATE IN THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL AGAIN USHER IN WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH AT LEAST NEXT WORK WEEK. SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED NEXT WEEK...ALTHOUGH A FEW SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER TROUGH SWINGS NORTH OF THE AREA. CLOUDS SHOULD HANG AROUND INTO EARLY SUNDAY ALONG WITH SOME LINGERING WRAP AROUND FLURRIES. THEN THE FORECAST WILL BE COMPLETELY PRECIP-FREE BY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE VERY COLD HIGH PRESSURE AND EXPECTED SNOWPACK COULD BRING MORE SUBZERO TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHTS...ESPECIALLY IF SOME BREAKS DEVELOP IN THE CLOUD COVER. THIS MAY MEAN WIND CHILLS AROUND -15 MONDAY AND TUESDAY MORNINGS...POSSIBLY EVEN AS LOW AS -20 IN SOME LOCATIONS. AS FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD VERY LITTLE IF ANY CHANGES WERE NEEDED TO THE INITIALIZATION. A WEAK UPPER TROUGH MAY BRING SOME SNOW SHOWERS TO NORTHERN COUNTIES OF THE CWA TUESDAY NIGHT...OTHERWISE DRY AND COLD. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 210300Z KIND TAF UPDATE/... ISSUED AT 936 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015 SOME FLURRIES STARTING TO SHOW UP IN THE VICINITY OF THE KIND TERMINAL...BUT APPEARS THE HEAVIER SNOW RESULTING IN VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS IS STILL A COUPLE OF HOURS AWAY. SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE STRONGEST LIFT MAY BE DELAYED BY A COUPLE OF HOURS OVER THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...SO PUSHED BACK THE LIFR RESTRICTIONS A BIT ON THE UPDATE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS. AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS 020-030 EXPANDING RAPIDLY NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS/SOUTHWEST INDIANA. EXPECTING THESE CEILINGS TO MOVE OVER THE TAF SITES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. STRONG LIFT EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TOWARDS/AFTER 210600Z AS MODEL DATA SUGGEST A 70-80 KT LOW LEVEL JET WILL NOSE INTO KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE BY THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SATURDAY...RESULTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION. DESPITE THE STRONG WARM ADVECTION...MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS AT THIS TIME THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW AT THE TAF SITES...EXPECT FOR MAYBE SOME SLEET ON THE ONSET AND A TREND TOWARDS FREEZING RAIN IN THE KBMG AREA TOWARDS DAYBREAK. LIFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS PROBABLE TOWARDS/AFTER 210600Z IN MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE LIFT. SOME CONCERN FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR LATE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE KBMG AREA AS LOW LEVEL JET APPROACHES. LOOKS FAIRLY MARGINAL THAT CRITERIA WILL BE MET...SO WILL LEAVE OUT FOR NOW. SURFACE WINDS GENERALLY 150-170 DEGREES AT 9-12 KTS THIS EVENING EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH TO AROUND 7 KTS BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
