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

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   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.
