Mesoscale Discussion 0102

   Areas affected...southern portions of IL...IN...and OH

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 250544Z - 251145Z

   SUMMARY...Broad precipitation will continue to overspread the region
   from around 06-12z. Localized heavy snowfall rates greater than
   1"/hr will be possible.

   DISCUSSION...The low-level precipitation field continues to expand
   in advance of a negatively tilted upper-level trough ejecting over
   the central CONUS. Snowfall rates of 1"/hr have been reported from
   eastern OK northeastward through southeastern MO, and in some areas
   localized snowfall rates around 2"/hr have been observed. The broad
   precipitation band responsible for these snowfall rates continues to
   translate northeastward in tandem with 700-mb frontogenesis and
   mesoscale isentropic ascent. These features are expected to persist
   for the next several hours and produce 1"/hr snowfall rates through
   12z, generally advancing from west to east across the outlined area.
   Snowfall rates of 2"/hr or greater will be possible in localized
   areas where enhanced forcing overlaps non-zero potential buoyancy
   (10-20 J/kg MUCAPE) in the dendritic growth zone.
