AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
654 PM EST THU JUN 30 2005
.AVIATION...
AN UPDATE WILL HAVE TO BE DONE FOR FWA ONCE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
CLEARS THE AIRPORT. AFTER THAT THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR SOME
STORMS TO POP UP THIS EVENING. SUCH A SMALL CHANCE AT SBN SO NO
MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS THERE. THE FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH
TONIGHT WITH A TURN OF THE WIND TO THE NORTHWEST TOMORROW. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT IS SOMEWHAT TIGHTLY PACKED TOMORROW SO EXPECT THE
WIND TO BE GUSTY. WITH CAA AND DAY TIME HEATING ON FRIDAY...SOME
FAIR WX CUMULUS CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP ACRS THE FCST AREA.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.
THERE IS A FCST QUANDARY THIS AFTN AS VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY ONLY
SHOWING SOME CUMULUS CLOUDS POPPING FROM FAR SWRN MICHIGAN
...SOUTHWARD INTO NRN INDIANA. SFC ANALYSIS AND RUC40 DEPICT A
PREFRONTAL TROF IN THIS SAME LOCATION. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE
STILL REMAINS A WEAK CAP IN PLACE BASED ON RUC SOUNDINGS. THE
QUESTION OF THE AFTN IS: WILL THERE BE ENOUGH LOW LVL CONVERGENCE
ASSOCD WITH THE PREFRONTAL TROF TO KICK OFF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS? AT THIS POINT...BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR
SOME SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. BASED ON THE THETA E RIDGE
AXIS...SEVERE THREAT REMAINS SE OF A LINE FROM SOUTH CENTRAL
MICHIGAN (NEAR CENTREVILLE) TO LOGANSPORT. WILL TAILOR POPS FROM 30
PERCENT FAR WEST (NO SEVERE MENTION) TO 50 EAST (SEVERE MENTION FOR
DAMAGING WINDS/HAIL) DURING THE EVENING HOURS. OTHERWISE...AS NIGHT
TIME FALLS...SBCAPES SHOULD DROP OFF...AND THREAT FOR SVR WX WILL
DIMINISH. A COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED FROM ERN WISCONSIN INTO WRN
ILLINOIS THIS AFTN. THIS FRONT IS FCST TO PASS SOUTH BEND AROUND
MIDNIGHT EST AND FORT WAYNE AROUND 3 AM EST. WITH UPR SUPPORT
LAGGING WELL BEHIND FRONT...AM NOT EXPECTING MUCH ACTIVITY WITH ITS
PASSAGE. ONCE FRONT PASSES...SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR AS A
DRY SLOT IS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT.
FOR FRIDAY...AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE CWFA.
CAA BEHIND THE FRONT WILL COOL TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S
FOR HIGHS. SOME DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED...WITH THE
GREATEST COVERAGE OVER THE NE CWFA WHERE 850 TEMPS ARE THE COOLEST
(PROVIDING FOR THE BEST LOW LVL LAPSE RATES).
LONG TERM...
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...DRY WEATHER AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
PERIOD WILL GIVE WAY TO SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS AND A
RETURN TO WARMER AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH EACH OTHER AND PREVIOUS RUNS, SO DONT INTEND TO MAKE MANY
CHANGES, ALTHOUGH TIMING WILL BE A LITTLE TRICKY FOR LATER PERIODS
IN THE FORECAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE FROM HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 50S
OVER THE WEEKEND TO HIGHS IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S FOR THE
REST OF THE WEEK.
