225 FXUS63 KIWX 171935 AFDIWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 235 PM EST Mon Nov 17 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... -Rain expected tonight into Tuesday, mixing with or changing over to all snow Tuesday morning for areas mainly north of US 30. Areas north of US 6, especially along and east of I 69, could see minor snow accumulations of around 1 inch or less. Travel with caution for the Tuesday morning commute as there could be slick slush or snow covered roads. Rain showers are likely in the afternoon as temps rise into the mid-upper 30s and low 40s. -Wednesday will be dry with highs in the 40s. There is a 30-65 percent chance of rain showers Thursday through Saturday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 208 PM EST Mon Nov 17 2025 A quick moving system will move from the Midwest into the Great Lakes region tonight into Tuesday. Initially starting as mainly rain showers a frontogenesis band associated with the system will allow a quick change over from rain showers to a rain/snow mix and ultimately all snow for areas north of US-30 with even some minor accumulations, 1 inch or less, mainly north of US-6 along and east of I-69. For our far northeast parts of the CWA there is a low chance of some freezing rain on the onset but with ground temperatures still fairly warm and any freezing rain occurrence being very brief did opt to leave out of the forecast grids but did want to mention here as there is a chance. A zonal flow aloft on Wednesday and Thursday will allow for some slight synoptic warming with highs by Thursday getting into the 50s across the area. By Friday another system this time slightly warmer than tonights system originating from the Texas Panhandle will bring another chance of rainfall beginning Thursday night through Saturday. Looking to see a little bit more rainfall with this system as being centered further south will have access to a bit more moisture to work with. Highs Friday through Sunday will range in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Fairly close to seasonal norms. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 1257 PM EST Mon Nov 17 2025 High pressure across the region this aftn will slowly push east overnight while a low pressure system over the central plains moves into Missouri by Tue morning. Clouds will increase later today ahead of the previously mentioned low pressure. Warm air advection after sunset will spout showers across IL that will eventually spread east into IN. In agreement with the previous forecast of introducing precip after 06Z. Model solutions continue to reflect a window of 09-10Z fore precip becoming predominant. Forecast soundings continue to favor rain at KFWA, while mostly rain at KSBN with a brief period of possible -RASN. Will keep the rain solution as previously forecast and allow for later shifts to fine tune the forecast for Tuesday morning at KSBN. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None. OH...None.
