NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
230 AM EDT WED JUN 4 2008

.DISCUSSION...A WARM FRONT WAS STRETCHED ACRS THE NRN PARTS OF
CENTRAL INDIANA EARLY THIS MORNING. RADAR SHOWS NMRS TSRA NEAR AND
ALONG THE FRONT...PUSHING EAST WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS OVER CENTRAL
IL. SKIES WERE CLOUDY AS THE MCS CONTINUED TO GROW. SFC DEW POINTS
WERE IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 AND SFC FLOW WAS SE ACRS MUCH OF
THE FA...AND MORE EASTERLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FRONT.

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TDY WL ONCE AGAIN BE POPS.

MODELS REMAIN IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL PATTERN AND
WL USE A BLEND. FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW PLENTY OF CAPE
AVAILABLE TDY ACRS THE FA...IN EXCESS OF 2K J/KG. WITH PLENTY OF
BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA FROM PREVIOUS CONVECTION ALONG WITH DECENT
DAYTIME HEATING EXPECTED...WL RAISE POP TDY FOR TSRA...ESPECIALLY
CLOSE TO THE FRONT. PWATS TDY REMAIN BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2.0
INCHES...AND GIVEN THIS WL EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACRS THE NRN
PARTS OF THE FA UNTIL 400 PM. ACRS THE SRN PART OF THE FA WL STICK
CLOSE TO MAVMOS POPS AS LWR LVL CONVERGENCE WL NOT BE AS STRONG AND
H8-H7 TEMPS WL BE A BIT WARMER...RESULTING IN A STRONGER CAP. EXPECT
THE TSRA THREAT TO DIMINISH AS THE DAY PROGRESSES
THOUGH...ESPECIALLY BY EARL THIS EVENING AS H7 TEMPS RISE OVR
10C...RESULTING IN A STRONGER CAP AND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES
TO PUSH FARTHER NORTH. GIVEN SOME OF THE LINGERING CLOUDS AND PCPN
WL LEAN TO THE COOLER SIDE OF THE MAVMOS FOR HIGHS.

TONIGHTS FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE A STRONG CAP THAT WL BE IN
PLACE THROUGH THURSDAY AS H7 TEMPS RISE TO 13C. WITH PLENTY OF
MOISTURE STILL LINGERING DO NOT EXPECT CLEARING SKIES AS SOME CLOUDS
WL BE LURKING. ALONG WITH A SOUTHERLY FLOW AND DEW POINTS TEMPS IN
THE SWEATY UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70...LOWS SHUD BE AOA MAVMOS LVL.

LITTLE CHANGE FOR THE FORECAST ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. WARM
SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES AND CAP REMAINS IN PLACE. WL LEAVE POPS OUT
FOR NOW...BUT GIVEN ALL OF THE PCPN WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST COUPLE OF
DAYS...FEEL TEMPS WL HAVE DIFFICULTY REACHING 90 AND MANY LOCATIONS.
WL KEEP TO THE UPPER 80S AT MANY LOCATIONS...BUT WITH DEW POINTS
NEAR 70...HI/S WL FEEL LIKE THE MIDDLE 90S.

ANOTHER WARM DAY APPEARS IN STORE FOR FRIDAY AS AN UPPER TROF
APPROACHES FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS FORCING SHUD ONCE AGAIN
BRING CHCS FOR TSRA TO INDIANA...BUT WL TRY AND FOCUS THIS TO THE
AFTERNOON AS DAYTIME HEATING WL BE MORE FAVORABLE THEN AND THESE
LARGER TROFS OFTEN SLOW DOWN IN THEIR PROGRESSION. THIS PATTERN WL
PERSIST INTO SATURDAY...AND WL KEEP TSRA CHCS THEN. ONGOING FORECAST
HANDLES THIS WELL.

AS FOR THE EXTENDED...

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS MOSTLY DRY AND
UNSEASONABLY WARM FRO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.  THERE COULD BE
SOME ISOLATED TSRA ON SUN/MON BUT THIS FAR OUT ITS A VERY LOW CHANCE
TO MENTION WITH SUCH HIGH UNCERTAINTY.
