Missaukee Mountain Snow Report

315 FXUS63 KIWX 120605 AFDIWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 205 AM EDT Mon Oct 12 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Unseasonably warm today and Tuesday with highs generally in the 80s. - Low chances (<20%) for a few showers and storms along and north of the Michigan stateline this evening. - Additional chances (40-70%) of showers arrives Tuesday night through Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 203 AM EDT Mon Oct 12 2026 Pockets of fog, locally dense, have been observed in several locations as xover temps are exceeded. These pockets appear to be somewhat shallow in nature and should begin to lessen some as combination of high clouds and a slight increase in boundary layer winds occurs. Not planning any headlines, but will monitor trends if highlighted factors don`t impact the coverage. Any fog will quickly burn off as plenty of sunshine and warming temperatures end the threat. Low pressure and a frontal boundary will remain well north of the area, with an increasing SW flow resulting in strong WAA. This will set the stage for well above normal (possible near record) high temperatures into the 80s. Model blends hint at a few 90 degrees highs on Tuesday. Any precip chances appear to remain in MI. The frontal boundary will slowly push south into the area Wed and Thur as a series of waves move along it with chances for showers and thunderstorms. Some uncertainty exists exactly how much progress the front makes each day given the lack of upper level energy to help push it along. Periods of likely to cat pops remain. Thursday night into Friday, models continue to vary on interactions (or lack thereof) with northern and southern stream waves. That being said, there may be some agreement starting as an initial, weaker southern stream wave tries to phase with the northern stream trough, with an orphaned upper low sticking around in the SW US. As a result, picture remains unclear as to exact potential impacts for this period and into the weekend. In the wake of the system, at least a brief shot of colder (below normal) air arrives. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 130 AM EDT Mon Oct 12 2026 Challenging fog forecast this morning given current clear skies and light winds but highly marginal near-surface moisture profiles. Gradient wind and high clouds will also steadily increase through daybreak, leading to even lower confidence. Expect visibilities may vary quite a bit for the next several hours (particularly at KFWA where moisture profiles are a little better) but expect a general improving trend closer to 12Z. The rest of the period will be quiet/VFR as dry SSW flow develops. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None. OH...None. MI...None. MARINE...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...Fisher AVIATION...AGD
