AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
630 AM EST WED DEC 24 2008

.AVIATION DISCUSSION...FOR THE 12Z TAFS
MAIN CONCERN FOR AVIATION WILL BE IFR CONDITIONS DURING THE
BEGINNING OF THE TAFS. MUCH WARMER WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO
INDIANA TODAY. EXTREMELY MOIST LOW LEVELS WILL KEEP IFR CIGS AND
MVFR VSBYS THRU 19Z-21Z IN SHOWERS AND FOG. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH INDIANA 21Z-24Z. MUCH DRIER AIR WILL QUICKLY MOVE INTO THE
AREA AFTER FROPA ALLOWING CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO MVFR THEN TO SKC
ARND 03Z.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST FOCUS IS ON SEVERAL PRECIP EVENTS THE NEXT FEW
DAYS...WITH POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS THIS WEEKEND.

THE MORNING SURFACE MAP DEPICTS A HIGH PRESSURE JUST OFF THE EAST
COAST AND A ELONGATED ZONE OF LOW PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM DLH
THROUGH MCI AND SOUTHWARD TO NEAR OKC. IN BETWEEN THE TWO EXISTS A
VERY STRONG AND DEEP SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THE OHIO VALLEY. ALOFT AT H5 THE PATTERN IS
GENERALLY RIDGING ON EITHER COAST...WITH A TROUGH PRESENT IN THE
CENTRAL PLAINS.

THE MODELS REMAIN FAIRLY SIMILAR TO ONE ANOTHER IN TERMS OF TEMPS
AND POPS. THE MAV MOS WAS A BIT WARMER OVERALL THAN THE MET MOS
FOR THE NEXT FEW PERIODS. WENT WITH A MORE BLENDED SOLUTION OF THE
TWO AND ALSO TOOK SREF TEMPS INTO CONSIDERATION...AS THEY HAVE
BEEN VERY GOOD RECENTLY.

FIRST CONCERNS ARE THE ONGOING ADVISORIES. WILL LET THEM EXPIRE AT
09Z. EARLIER THE VERY COLD GROUND WAS ALLOWING FOR FREEZING RAIN
TO CONTINUE DESPITE AIR TEMPS AT OR ABOVE FREEZING. THIS HAS
ENDED...AND A VERY STRONG WARM SURGE IS PUSHING INTO THE AREA NOW.
RWIS SHOWS SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING...SO FEEL
CONFIDENT IN LETTING ADVISORY EXPIRE.

FOR TODAY LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST AND THE H5 TROUGH WILL
STRENGTHEN AS A SHORTWAVE OVER KANSAS INTERACTS WITH IT. THIS WILL
HELP TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FORCING TODAY FOR MORE PRECIPITATION
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WILL CONTINUE HIGH
POPS AND TYPE WILL BE RAIN TO START...BUT IT MAY END AS A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS IN THE WEST AS COLDER AIR ARRIVES. TEMPS
TODAY WILL BE VERY MILD AS THE APPROACHING LOW WILL BREAK THE
INVERSION AND ALLOW OUR +4C H8 TEMPS TO BE REALIZED WITH BETTER
MIXING...WHICH WILL ALSO PROMOTE BREEZY CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON.
THE FRONT SHOULD CROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 18-21Z WITH FALLING
AFTERNOON TEMPS.

PRECIP WILL END QUICKLY TONIGHT AS THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN AND
THE H5 LOW SKIPS QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST. IT SHOULD BE A
CHILLY...SHALLOW AIRMASS MOVING IN...AND WILL GO COLDER THAN THE
MAV MOS AS A CONSEQUENCE. THE MET AND FWC LOOK BETTER FOR LOWS.

THURSDAY WILL BE A DECEPTIVE DAY. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD PUSH EAST
AS YET ANOTHER STRONG LEE CYCLONE TAKES SHAPE ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS. HOWEVER...MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL REMAIN TO OUR WEST WHICH
WILL LEAVE US TRAPPED WITH THE SHALLOW COLD AIRMASS AND LOWER
CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. THIS LEAD TO UNDERCUTTING THE MAV
GUIDANCE BY SEVERAL DEGREES. AGAIN THE MET LOOKED BETTER...AND WAS
SUPPORTED BY THE SREF.

OVERNIGHT THURSDAY THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF EPISODE OF
WINTRY WEATHER. SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT INITIALLY IT WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR A LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MIX TOWARDS 06Z FRIDAY.
FORTUNATELY THE PRECIP LOOKS VERY LIGHT. BY 12Z WHEN THE BETTER
PRECIP ARRIVES THE SOUNDINGS ARE NOT QUITE AS FAVORABLE. WILL THUS
MENTION ZR/IP TO START...BECOMING RAIN BUT SOME LINGERING ZR IN
THE NORTH IS POSSIBLE UNTIL 12Z. AT THIS POINT...NOT ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE IN ANY ADVISORY TYPE SCENARIO. THE GROUND WILL BE MUCH
WARMER AND IT IS LIKELY THAT FREEZING RAIN WILL NOT DO MUCH
FREEZING AS SFC TEMPS WILL BE NEAR 32 THROUGH THE START OF THE EVENT.

THIS LOW OVER THE PLAINS WILL DEEPEN ON FRIDAY AND SET UP AN
ALMOST SPRINGLIKE PATTERN. THERE WILL BE A STRONG TROUGH ACROSS
THE ROCKIES AND A STRONG RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST. WE WILL
EXPERIENCE H8 TEMPS TO NEAR +12C BY FRIDAY. HIGHS SHOULD COME
CLOSE TO 60 IN THE SOUTH. OVERNIGHT FRIDAY IT WILL STAY EXTREMELY
MILD WITH LOWS IN THE 40S.

THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM SCENARIO ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. TEMPS SHOULD BE 50S TO 60S AND DEWPOINTS WILL
NOT BE FAR BEHIND AS THE GULF LOOKS WIDE OPEN IN THE SOUTH FLOW.
THIS WOULD ALSO HINT AT A POSSIBILITY FOR HEAVY RAIN...AND THIS IS
MENTIONED IN THE ESF STATEMENT. FOR NOW WILL JUST CARRY A MENTION
OF TSRA IN THE HWO BUT NOT ADDRESS SEVERE POTENTIAL THIS FAR OUT.

AFTER THIS SYSTEM THE FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL BY EARLY NEXT WEEK
AND CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION...

DISCUSSION FOR 06Z TAFS...

EXPECTING MOSTLY MVFR CONDITIONS THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING AS LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO MOVE NNEWD WITH 50-70KT LOW LEVEL JET.
THERE ARE STILL SOME REPORTS OF SOME ICY SURFACES AT THIS TIME...BUT
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO SLOWLY WARM AND SHOULD DIMINISH ICING
THREAT AT THE SURFACE.  COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EWD ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA BETWEEN 17Z-20Z ON WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL CLEAR OUT
THE SKIES AND GET BACK TO VFR CONDITIONS BY LATER TONIGHT.
