AS A RESULT OF THE REPEATED CONVECTION SINCE ERLY MRNG. BOWING
SEGMENT CURRENTLY PLOWING ACRS CNTRL INDIANA SHWNG WEAKENING ON
ITS NRN FLANK AS A RESULT OF INTERACTION WITH THIS CAPPED AND MUCH
MORE STABLE ATMOSPHERE CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER REGION. BELIEVE
FOCUS FOR SEVERE CONVECTION SHIFTING TO SW FCST AREA WHERE
INSTABILITY IS GREATER...AND RECENT RADAR TRENDS INDCG MOST
INTENSE STORMS ARE PERCOLATING INTO SRN INDIANA INVOF INSTABILITY
AXIS. MESOANALYSIS INDCG AXIS OF MLCAPES ABV 3000 J/KG RUNNING
FROM SW INDIANA INTO CNTRL KY...AND WITH SUNSHINE AND TDS INTO THE
L/M70S...THIS AREA APPEARS PRIMED FOR EXPLOSIVE TSTM DVLPMNT OVER
NEXT FEW HOURS. LAPS SOUNDING INDCG MOST UNSTABLE AIR RESIDES OVER
FAR SW FCST AREA WITH ELEVATED CAPES NEAR 2000 J/KG ABOVE A WEAKER
BNDRY LYR CAP. STILL EXPECT WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40MPH WITH NRN
FLANK OF BOW AS IT APPCHS FROM WEST THIS AFTN...AND COULD SEE SOME
WIND GUSTS APPCH SVR LIMITS OVER NEXT FEW HOURS AS BOW MOVES INTO
WRN FCST AREA.
FOCUS FOR AFTN HAS DEFINITELY BECOME HVY RAIN CONCERNS AS AREAS
FROM SE INDIANA EAST ACRS BUTLER/WARREN/CLINTON COS HAVE SEEN
UPWARDS OF 2 TO 2.5 INCHES ALREADY FROM EARLIER CONVECTION. PWATS
WILL REMAIN IN THE 1.6 TO 1.8 INCH RANGE ACRS THE AFFECTED AREA
THRU THE AFTN. FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR SRN 1/2 FCST AREA
AND WILL CONTINUE THRU WED MRNG. WILL REEVALUATE FOR AFTN PACKAGE
IF ANY CHANGES IN WATCH HEADLINES ARE NECESSARY. IT SHOULD BE
NOTED THAT KILN RADAR IS OVERESTIMATING RAINFALL TOTALS OVER SE
INDIANA AND PARTS OF NRN KY. ONCE THIS BATCH OF CONVECTION MOVES
THRU AREA OVER NEXT SVRL HOURS...SHOULD CATCH A BREAK OF SOME SORT
BY LATE AFTN/ERLY EVNG WITH POTENTIAL FOR ADDL CONVECTIVE DVLPMNT
TONIGHT AHEAD OF APPCHG VIGOROUS S/WV. THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN
MUCH MORE DETAIL WITH AFTN PACKAGE DUE OUT ABOUT 20Z.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
COMPLEX PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL
DISTURBANCES MOVE OVERHEAD WITHIN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...AND A
COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THIS
WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR CONVECTION CONFINED TO MAINLY THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY. MAINTAINED LOW CHANCE TO SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WEDS NIGHT AND
THURS AS FRONT HANGS AROUND THE AREA AND DISTURBED NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES. CONDITIONS WILL DRY OUT THURS NIGHT. STAYED
CLOSER TO COOLER MET NUMBERS THROUGH THE PERIOD...IF NOT A DEGREE
OR TWO COOLER.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TRENDED TOWARD THE 06Z GFS FOR EXTENDED PERIOD. BEGINNING OF
EXTENDED PERIOD WILL SEE A TROUGH OVER NORTHEAST. THIS TROUGH WILL
MOVE EAST AS A 500MB HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
REGION SATURDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND BEGIN TO FLATTEN OUT ON MONDAY BRINGING A MORE ZONAL
FLOW TO THE REGION. AT THE SURFACE A STATIONARY FRONT LOCATED JUST
SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER FRIDAY WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST AS A WARM FRONT
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE WILL BE
PRESENT TO KEEP AT LEAST LOW CHANCES OF MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE EXTENDED. AT THIS TIME THE
DRIEST DAY LOOKS TO BE SUNDAY..BUT SOME DIFFERENCE IN TIMING OF
SYSTEMS IS STILL SEEN IN MODELS. BELIEVE MONDAY WILL HAVE BETTER
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION AS 500 MB FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL AND TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY REGION.
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGION OVER THE
WEEKEND ...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
80S TO NEAR 90 ARE EXPECTED AT MANY LOCATIONS BY SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING SLOWLY SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA EARLY
THIS MORNING AND THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE TAF SITES FOR THE
FIRST HOUR OR TWO OF THE PERIOD. THINK WE MAY THEN SEE A BIT OF A LULL
BEFORE THINGS GET GOING AGAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG INSTABILITY
IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION. SERIES OF WEAK
MID LEVEL SHORT WAVES ARE FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD. THE COMBINATION OF THE MID LEVEL FORCING AND SOME
DECENT INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO A THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD. WILL GO AHEAD AND COVER THE CHANCE
FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING WITH A VCSH/CB. AFTER THAT WILL
LEAVE MENTION OUT OF THE TAFS BUT POSSIBILITY WILL EXIST FOR SOME
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.
OUTLOOK...A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
