10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 630 AM EST Thu Dec 12 2019
SYNOPSIS. Issued at 400 AM EST Thu Dec 12 2019
Temperatures should recover today from the latest cold air intrusion with highs reaching near 40 today and Friday. Abundant cloud will prevail into this weekend with chances for rain and snow beginning Friday night and continuing through Saturday night. Dry and cold weather is ahead Sunday with highs near 30.
SHORT TERM. (Today through Friday) Issued at 357 AM EST Thu Dec 12 2019
Return flow will increase on the backside of the high pressure area with brisk winds developing as the pressure gradient tightens. Abundant moisture will keep clouds over most of the area, although some breaks are possible. Highs will be around 40 both today and Friday.
LONG TERM. (Friday night through Wednesday) Issued at 357 AM EST Thu Dec 12 2019
An active but generally cold pattern is ahead this weekend through the middle of next week. The initial shortwave trof will reach the area early Saturday and bring chances for rain and snow. Although some accumulation is likely on grassy areas during the day Saturday, any travel issues should be limited to Saturday night when temperatures fall below freezing. After a brief cold air intrusion Sunday, more rain and snow is expected from Sunday night through Monday night with the next system. This setup will be better chances for accumulating snow.
AVIATION. (For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday Morning) Issued at 628 AM EST Thu Dec 12 2019
Little change expected for the 12Z TAFs with windy conditions developing today along with persistence of VFR conditions. A pocket of fairly strong surface pressure falls will quickly shift east across central Wisconsin early this morning and across the western Great Lakes this afternoon. These pressure falls in combination with strengthening sfc gradient will result in sharp uptick in wind speeds by mid morning with south gusts of 25 to 30 knots possible at KSBN late morning into this afternoon. Gradient will be slightly weaker across northeast Indiana which may limit gusts at KFWA to the 20 to 25 knot range. Despite these strong sfc winds, will maintain LLWS mention today into this evening as this warm advection will promote a strong low level inversion favorable for LLWS. Winds to slacken later this evening, and dry conditions will persist through this forecast valid period.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
