Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 2:15 PM EST, 4 hours 13 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
215 PM EST THU JUN 30 2005

.DISCUSSION...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH INDIANA OVERNIGHT
BRINGING A WELCOME CHANGE TO THE WEATHER. MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE THE
TIMING OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORMS MOVED THROUGH MAINLY THE
NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA THIS MORNING. THIS HAS CAUSED THE
ATMOSPHERE TO BECOME A LITTLE MORE STABLE IN THE NORTH.

IN THE SOUTH CAPES RUNNING 4000. THIS IN ADDITION STRONG MID LEVEL
FLOW MAY BRING MORE STORMS TO THE AREA OVERNIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. WILL GO WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS UNTIL LATER THIS
EVENING THEN INCREASE TO SCATTERED. THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT OF THESE
STORMS WILL BE STRONG WINDS...VERY HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL. THIS
AFTERNOON TEMPS DROPPING 5-8 AFTER FROPA. WITH THE FRONT NOT MOVING
THROUGH UNTIL LATER THIS EVENING THE MAIN TEMPERATURE EFFECT WILL
NOT OCCUR UNTIL FRIDAY.

MORE PLEASANT WEATHER WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO INDIANA ON FRIDAY.
PROJECTED SOUNDINGS ARE DRY BUT SOME CU MAY STILL DEVELOP. ETA CU
RULE HAS SCT-BKN WHILE THE GFS HAS CLEAR. SOME INSTABILITY WILL
REMAIN WITH THE CYC FLOW SO WILL GO PARTLY SUNNY. TEMPS WILL BE 5-8
LOWER THEN TODAY.

FLOW FROM NW WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. SKIES WILL
CLEAR WHICH WILL ALLOW GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. WILL DROP TEMPS TO
NEAR THE CURRENT FOREAST VALUES IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.
