AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
110 PM EST THU JUL 21 2005

.DISCUSSION...FCST FOCUS ON EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION TONIGHT...THEN
ON TEMPS NEXT FEW DAYS. WILL ALLOW THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING EXPIRE
THIS EVENING.

LOOKING AT CURRENT LOCATION OF REMNANT/ONGOING CONVECTION, IT
APPEARS THAT THE ETA HAS A BETTER GRASP OF ONGOING WX. GFS/NGM HAS
NO SIGNAL OF ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS IL/MI. LATEST VISIBLE
SATELLITE SHOWS CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT NEAR DEVELOPING LOW ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL IL AT THIS TIME. THIS IN AXIS OF GREATEST INSTABILITY AND
EXPECT THIS AREA TO BE INITIATION POINT FOR CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN THE ETA IS THE MODEL TO FOLLOW
FOR PRECIP CHCS TONIGHT.

TONIGHT...SHORTWAVE TROUGH NOW MOVING ACROSS MN/IA WILL ACT ON AN
EXTREMELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING/TONIGHT. 18Z ILX SOUNDING SHOWS SIG CAP STILL TO OVERCOME
HOWEVER TEMPS IN MID 90S AND APPROACHING VERTICAL MOTION SHOULD
OVERCOME THIS CAP BY LATE AFTERNOON. COMBINATION OF 25-30KT DEEP
LAYER SHEAR AND 3000-4000 CAPE WILL RESULT IN ORGANIZED SEVERE
STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS. ANOTHER CONCERN IS HEAVY RAINS, POSITION
OF 850MB THETA-E RIDGE WILL EXTEND NW-SE ACROSS THE REGION. 20-30KT
850MB LLJ WILL BE POSITIONED ACROSS THIS AXIS FORCING ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION UPSTREAM ACROSS IL THROUGH 06Z. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO
SEE RE-DEVELOPMENT ACROSS IL UNTIL VEERING OF 850MB WINDS OCCUR
AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS WILL LEAD TO HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE CWA. IN
ADDITION, UPPER DIV WILL BE PRESENT IN RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
UPPER JET STREAK ACROSS MI/OH.

ALL OF THE ABOVE SUGGESTS GOING WITH LIKELY PRECIP CHCS TONIGHT.

FRIDAY...ALL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT WEAK LOW/COLD FRONT WILL SAG
SOUTH OF THE CWA. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO DRIER AIR (DEWPOINTS
IN THE 60S) MOVING IN LATER FRI/FRI NIGHT. 1000-850MB THICKNESSES
ALSO SUGGEST SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS AND WITH EXPECTED RAINS FEEL THAT
GUIDANCE BLEND IS ACCURATE WITH COOLER MAX TEMPS FRIDAY. DRIER AIR
WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE INTO SOUTHERN IN HOWEVER EXPECT COOLER TEMPS SO
HEAT INDICES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 105 FRI.

SAT...WEAK SURFACE HIGH WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE REGION KEEPING DRIER
(DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S) IN THE AREA. GUIDANCE TEMPS ALL SUGGEST HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 80S/LOW 90S AND COMPARISON TO 850 TEMPS SUGGESTS THIS
LOOKS ACCURATE.

SUN-MON...INTENSE WAA WILL OCCUR FROM 850-500MB AS RIDGE AXIS
STRETCHES EAST ACROSS THE REGION. 850 TEMPS 24-26C SUNDAY SUGGEST
HIGHS IN THE MID 90S WITH SFC DEWPOINTS FORECAST TO RISE BACK INTO
THE LOWER 70S. THIS COULD SET THE STAGE FOR HEAT WARNING SUN AND OR
MON BUT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR AS GFS NOW SHOWS A COLD FRONT SAGGING
INTO THE STATE LATER SUN INTO MONDAY. IN ANY CASE, BOTH ECMWF AND
GFS SHOW STRONG LONGWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE GRT LKS AND AN ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATER TUES AND WEDS.
