Experimental CAWS 004 issued for low turb over southern CA
Collaborative Aviation Weather Statement 004
NWS Aviation Weather Center Kansas City MO
1919 UTC Mon 22 Feb 2016
Weather: Turbulence
Valid: 1919-0100Z
ARTCCs affected: ZLA
Terminals affected: KLAX, KPHX
SUMMARY: Moderate to severe turbulence expected over S CA thru 23Z
DISCUSSION: Moderate to severe turbulence with isolated severe pockets are expected over S ZLA thru 01Z. NE flow will contribute to a moderate Santa Ana wind event with low level turb expected below FL100.
A SIGMET is unlikely at this point, an additional CAWS is also unlikely.

Weather: Icing
Valid: 1800-2000Z
ARTCCs affected: ZAU, ZMP, ZOB
Terminals affected: KDTW, KMKE, KMDW, KORD
SUMMARY: Possible SEV icing over Great Lakes.
DISCUSSION: Moderate to occasional severe icing is expected over the Great Lakes with highest potential for severe from eastern WI, northern IL, and western Lower MI. This may impact arrivals/departures for KDTW, KMKE, KMDW, and KORD. A SIGMET is possible in the hatched area. Conditions will slowly shift east-northeastward into central lower MI and weaken after 20Z.
...Additional CAWS are not expected in this region...

Moderate turbulence is most likely from FL360-270 with severe possible from FL340-290. Conditions are moving eastward and are likely to continue over the Mid-Atlantic coastline after 20Z.
...Additional CAWS are likely in this region...

Wrapping Up Week One
Most focused on non-convective CAWS Friday, using a case study from the end of December
The clouds and visibility desk centered on the West Coast, which experienced shallow fog this morning
Thanks to all of our participants! Look for updates on week two of the 2016 Winter Experiment (February 22-26).
