.UPDATE…
Issued at 1004 PM CDT Mon Oct 17 2022
Cancelled the Winter Weather Advisory for Porter and Jasper counties in northwest Indiana overnight, as best focus for any travel impacts from accumulating lake effect snow looks to remain east of the forecast area. Otherwise, forecast is generally on track with light snow showers and flurries generally decreasing in coverage late this evening west and southwest of Lake Michigan.
Regional radar coverage since mid-afternoon has depicted the primary lake convergent axis along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, with associated heavier lake effect precipitation focused mainly across far southwest lower Michigan and north central Indiana. High-res CAM guidance indicates this trend will continue over the next several hours, with the probability of travel impacts associated with any accumulating snow over Porter and Jasper counties continuing to diminish. Based on this, and being past the evening heavier travel period, have elected to cancel the winter weather advisory for those counties. Less organized rain/snow showers will likely affect northwest Indiana into the overnight hours, though with no significant accumulations expected.
Elsewhere, scattered snow showers which were associated with an earlier mid-level short wave have diminished/dissipated across northern IL and parts of the IL/IN state line region. A few flurries may linger at times into the overnight hours. Blustery northwest winds will persist with gusts of 25 to 30 mph at times, and up to 40 mph along the immediate Indiana lakeshore. With strong northerly winds persisting, have made no changes to current Lakeshore Flood Advisory which continues through Tuesday.
