AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
841 PM EDT WED JUN 21 2006

...ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK WILL CONTINUE...

.AVIATION...
STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE ALONG ACTIVE BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN
INDIANA. STORMS HAVE PASSED SBN...BUT SHOULD REACH FWA LATER THIS
EVENING. EXPECT SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF STORMS AGAIN LATER
THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON...OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS
SHOULD REMAIN VFR.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WAS
IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON...JUST UPSTREAM OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE
AIRMASS OVER NORTHERN INDIANA AND SURROUNDING AREAS HAS RECOVERED
QUITE WELL FROM EARLIER CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES AT 18Z WERE NEAR 90
JUST UPSTREAM AND DEW POINTS 70 TO 75. MODIFIED RUC SOUNDING YIELDED
CAPE OF OVER 5200 J/KG...AND 17Z LAPS CAPE NOT FAR BEHIND AT
4000-4500. HOWEVER...GIVEN EARLIER CANOPY OF MID TO UPPER LEVEL
CLOUDS AND EARLIER CONVECTION...EXPECT INITIATION TIME TO BE
SOMEWHAT LATER THAN EARLIER EXPECTED. ACARS SOUNDING FROM BMI
INDICATED A SMALL CAP JUST BELOW 800 MB...ALSO SUGGESTING A LATER
INITIATION TIME. THE 18Z ILX SOUNDING ALSO INDICATED A CAP. A WELL
DEFINED VORT MAX ON WATER VAPOR SATELLITE WAS NEAR DSM AT 18Z...AND
SHOULD REACH NW INDIANA/FAR SW LOWER MICHIGAN BY 04Z/MIDNIGHT EDT.
EXPECT CONVECTION TO INTENSIFY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM.
ONGOING FORECAST FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS
AND A POSSIBLE TORNADO APPEARS ON TRACK. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL EXIST THURSDAY WITH THE FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN THE
AREA. ONCE AGAIN...BY AFTERNOON...DAYTIME HEATING WILL CAUSE THE
AIRMASS TO BECOME EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. HOWEVER...WITH A LIGHTER WIND
FIELD...POTENTIAL FOR LOCAL FLOODING EXISTS WITH SLOWER MOVING
STORMS WELL INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM...
FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...HAVE KEPT THIS PERIOD DRY WITH
TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL. STILL COULD BE SOME LINGERING
CONVECTION FRIDAY MORNING...BUT KEPT FRIDAY DRY THIS PACKAGE AS NCEP
MODELS SHOWING MIXED SOLUTIONS. MAIN FEATURE THIS PERIOD IS THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER THE SW CONUS. THE
GFS AND ECMWF HAS SHOWN VARIOUS SOLUTIONS WITH THE STRENGTH AND
PROGRESSION OF THE DOWNSTREAM TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THE 12Z GFS
WAS SHOWING A MUCH DIFFERENT PATTERN OVER SOUTHERN CANADA...WITH THE
TROF AXIS SHIFTED WEST A GREAT DISTANCE FROM THE 00Z RUN. THE
CANADIAN ENSEMBLES WERE 180 DEGREES OUT OF PHASE BETWEEN THE GFS.
HOWEVER...THE GFS AND CANADIAN ENSEMBLE ANALOGS SHOWED A PATTERN
CLOSE TO CLIMATOLOGY...SO WITH ALL CONSIDERED...KEPT THE FORECAST
DRY WITH TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL. THIS WEEKEND SHOULD BE
NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID AS COOL AND DRY AIR SPREADS INTO THE REGION.
