    Areas affected...Northeast Indiana into far southern Michigan and
    northern Ohio

    Concerning...Freezing rain=20

    Valid 081746Z - 082245Z

    SUMMARY...Freezing rain will gradually become more widespread across north/northeast Indiana and northern Ohio through the mid to late
    afternoon hours. Freezing rain rates up to 0.03 in/hour appear
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery shows a swath of stratiform
    precipitation (with embedded convective elements) becoming
    established across north-central IN as isentropic ascent increases
    within the warm conveyor belt of an intensifying mid-level low. This
    trend is expected to continue through the afternoon hours as
    warm/moist advection increases amid strengthening 925-700 mb winds.
    This mid-level warm advection will reinforce a weak warm-nose aloft,
    and should promote mainly liquid hydrometeors near the surface.
    Although surface temperatures are currently near freezing across
    northern IN/OH, dewpoints in the teens to mid 20s suggest that
    wet-bulb cooling to below freezing is likely after the initial onset
    of precipitation. This trend is already being observed at a few
    locations across northern IN with some ASOS/AWOS and mPING reports
    of freezing rain noted over the past 30-60 minutes.

    Surface temperatures from the 12 UTC HREF members appear to be
    running 1-3 F too cold compared to 17 UTC observations, which
    suggests that freezing rainfall estimates from these members/HREF
    probabilities may be too bullish. However, more recent deterministic
    solutions (HRRR/RAP) have captured surface temperature trends well
    and depict freezing rain rates of around 0.03 in/hour. These
    solutions also suggest that freezing rain potential may be greatest
    across northwest to north-central OH through late afternoon with
    accumulations up to 0.1 - 0.25 inch possible.
