Area forecast discussion, May 16, 12:50 AM EDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1250 AM EDT SAT MAY 16 2009

.AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 06Z TAFS. LEADING EDGE OF SQ LN HAS
PASSED THRU ALL THE TERMINALS XCPT FOR KBMG...WITH A COUPLE OF HRS
OF RAIN/EMBEDDED THUNDER LINGERING TO THE REAR OF THE SQ LN. BASED
ON RADAR TRENDS...MOST OF THE SHWR/TSTM THREAT SHOULD HV ENDED ACRS
THE TERMINALS BY 160800Z. PD OF MVFR CIGS XPCTD TIL AFT FROPA LTR
THIS MORN...WITH AN IMPRVG TREND IN THE CIGS BY THE AFT HRS.

&&

.DISCUSSION

PRIMARY CONCERN IS HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG STORM THREAT TONIGHT WHILE
BUILDING RIDGE BRINGS EXTENDED DRY PATTERN LATE SATURDAY INTO MID
WEEK AT LEAST.

QUITE ACTIVE CONVECTION ACROSS NRN IL AS WARM FRONT PUSHES NORTH
ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND INDIANA.  TEMPERATURES REACHING MID 70S
TO LOWER 80S WHILE SURFACE DEWPOINTS HAVE OR WILL CLIMB TO MID AND
UPPER 60S LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT AND FORECAST WILL BE A BLEND
OF THESE. ONE AREA OF DIFFERENCE HOWEVER WAS IN QPF FOR TONIGHT
WHICH HAS BEARING ON FLOOD WATCH. CHOSE TO AVERAGE GFS AND NAM QPF
AND MOS GUIDANCE DATA BRINGING FCST QPFS AROUND ONE INCH TONIGHT.

TONIGHT...SOMEWHAT MORE UNSTABLE RELATIVE TO CONDITIONS TWO NIGHTS
BACK. DYNAMICS NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS TWO NIGHTS BACK WITH STRONGEST
850MB WINDS PUSHING NORTH OF FCST AREA BEFORE STORMS ARRIVE. END
RESULT WILL STILL BE SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND INSTABILITY FOR POTENTIAL
SEVERE ESPECIALLY EARLY IN EVENT OVER OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES.
HOWEVER GIVEN MARGINAL AMOUNT OF SEVERE CONVECTION TWO DAYS BACK AND
TONIGHTS CONDITIONS SLIGHTLY LESS CONDUCIVE...ALONG WITH LATE NIGHT
LESS FAVORABLE SEVERE WEATHER TIMING...DO NOT THINK SEVERE THREAT IS
QUITE AS GREAT AS WEDNESDAY.

GIVEN DECENT INFLUX OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...EXPECT HEAVY RAIN TO BE
A THREAT BUT AGAIN NOT AS SERIOUS AS TWO DAYS AGO. HOWEVER...WITH
ELEVATED STREAMS AND SATURATED SOIL...FLOODING REMAINS POSSIBLE IN
HIGHEST QPF AREA CENTERED NEAR LAFAYETTE AND THUS HAVE INTRODUCED
FLOOD WATCH.

SATURDAY...MODELS MAINTAIN SOME PCPN ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES DURING
MORNING AS CDFNT PUSHES ACROSS OHIO RIVER. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO
ONGOING FCST WITH THIS.  BY LATE IN DAY SATURDAY SUN SHOULD BE
SHINING IN NW COUNTIES WITH REMAINING HIGH CLOUDS THINNING AND
CLEARING IN SOUTHEAST.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...BUILDING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND
UPPER RIDGE TAKES CONTROL PROVIDNING DRY WEATHER.  LOW DEWPOINTS AND
LIGHT WINDS UNDER CLEAR SKIES SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT MAY ALLOW FOR
A FEW LOCATIONS TO BRIEFLY TOUCH UPPER 30S THOUGH WET AND WARM
GROUND SHOULD PREVENT ANY CHANCE FOR FROST.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL HAVE PUSHED BACK
INTO GREAT LAKES WITH SYSTEMS TRAVERSING NORTH PERIPHERY OF RIDGE
FIRING CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS IN NORTHWEST FLOW.  CENTRAL INDIANA SHOULD
REMAIN ON SOUTH EDGE OF THIS STAYING DRY AND WARM BUT BEARS WATCHING
FOR INTRODUCTION OF RAIN CHANCES AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY.
