    Mesoscale Discussion 0097
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0140 AM CST Tue Feb 12 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of northern IN...northwestern OH...and
    southern Lower MI

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation

    Valid 120740Z - 121345Z

    SUMMARY...Freezing rain rates up to 0.05 to 0.10 inch per hour
    ongoing across northern IN and northwestern OH should become common
    across parts of southern Lower MI through the morning. A wintry mix
    of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will be possible on the northern
    extent of the precipitation.

    DISCUSSION...A synoptic-scale upper trough will continue moving
    northeastward across the Upper Midwest this morning. Strong warm air
    advection associated with a east-southeasterly low-level jet is
    supporting a broad precipitation shield across parts of the Upper
    Midwest into the lower Great Lakes as of 0730Z. Light to moderate
    freezing rain is already occurring across parts of northern IN and
    northwestern OH, and these areas will very likely experience a
    gradual south-to-north transition from freezing rain to rain over
    the next few hours as surface temperatures slowly climb above
    freezing.

    As the axis of the low-level jet shifts northeastward in tandem with
    the overall upper trough, a weak warm nose centered around 850 mb
    should also develop slowly northward across southern Lower MI
    through 13Z. Freezing rain rates of 0.05 to 0.10 inch per hour may
    become common where surface temperatures remain below 30F. This
    seems most likely in southern Lower MI, where wetbulb cooling of a
    drier low-level airmass should at least partially offset latent heat
    release as melted hydrometeors refreeze at the surface. Slightly
    cooler low-level temperatures on the northern extent of the
    precipitation shield suggest that a mix of snow and sleet may be
    more common.
