   Mesoscale Discussion 0082
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0507 PM CST Wed Feb 05 2020

   Areas affected...Northern Indiana into southern Michigan and far
   northwest Ohio

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 052307Z - 060130Z

   SUMMARY...Moderate to occasionally heavy snow is expected through
   the evening.

   DISCUSSION...Isentropic ascent has led to a broad area of light to
   moderate snow across much of the southern Great Lakes. While
   snowfall rates should remain in the half inch per hour range across
   most of the region, deep frontogenesis in the 850 to 500 mb layer
   will lead to some banding and localized heavier snowfall rates
   approaching 1 inch per hour. Composite reflectivity indicates the
   heaviest band may be starting to develop from Rensselaer, IN
   northeastward through Goshen and toward Jackson, Michigan. The
   heavier snow rates will be limited due to the short duration of
   snow, but these rates could persist for 1 to 2 hours across the
   aforementioned region.
