AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
324 PM EDT MON JUN 1 2009

.DISCUSSION...

VISSAT SHOWS SOME CU AND SOME MID CLOUDS ACRS THE NRN FA. WSR 88D
SHOWS A STORM POPPING UP IN THE NW FA ON A WEAK OUTFLOW BOUNDARY.
MOSAIC SHOWS THUNDERSTORMS ACRS NRN IL. TEMPS WERE IN THE MID TO UPR
80S WITH DEWPTS IN THE UPR 50S TO LOW 60S AND WINDS OUT OF THE WSW
AT 10-15KTS. A COLD FNT STRETCHED THRU SRN WI INTO WRN IL AND ERN IA.

FORECAST FOCUS IS ON POPS/SVR CHCS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. MODELS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT SO WL USE A BLEND. FOR TEMPS WL USE A MAV/MET AVG
UNLESS NOTED.

THIS EVENING/TONIGHT...COLD FNT MVS INTO THE FA TONIGHT. INSTABILITY
ALREADY HIGH AND WILL GET EVEN BETTER THIS EVENING WITH SB CAPES OF
2000-4000 SHOWING UP IN THE NAM AND GFS. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR STILL FCST
TO BE AROUND 30 KTS. COULD ALSO BE SOME LEFTOVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
IN THE N FROM EARLIER CONVECTION/CURRENT LITTLE SHOWERS. WSWLY SFC
FLOW WL KEEP DIRECTIONAL SHEAR FAIRLY SMALL SO MAIN THREATS WILL BE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AND THE HAIL THREAT DROPPING SOME AS
INSTABILITY DECREASES A COUPLE HOURS AFTER SUNSET. FOR TEMPS SHOULD
HAVE SOME CLOUD COVER WITH THE CONVECTION SO WENT CLOSER TO WARMER
MET NUMBERS.

TUE/TUE NT...SFC BOUNDARY STALLS AND SHOULD MEANDER BACK NORTH A
BIT. MOST PARAMETERS SHUD BE SIMILAR TO TODAY/TONIGHT BUT A WEAKER
LLJET AT LEAST UNTIL 6Z WED. LOOKS LIKE THINGS AGAIN WILL GET GOING
IN THE EVENING SO WENT WITH CHC POPS IN THE NORTH TUE TAPERING TO
SLT CHC S AND RAMPING UP TO LIKELIES TUE NT WITH THE LL JET MVING
THRU AS WELL AS A S/W. PREFER THE WARMER MET NUMBERS FOR TUE HIGHS
AS TODAY/S TEMPS ARE HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE HIGHS WERE FOR TODAY.

WED...COLD FNT GETS GOING AGAIN AND SLOWLY MAKES IT/S WAY THRU THE
FA. LL FRONTOGENESIS LOOKS GOOD ACRS THE AREA AND EXPECT IT TO
SPARK THUNDERSTORMS AS IT MOVES THRU. WL GO WITH LIKELY POPS FOR
AT LEAST THE SE HALF. WITH THE SLOW MVMENT COULD SEE SOME HEAVY RAIN
AND POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING ISSUES.

HAVE ADDED SOME POPS TO WED NT AS THE FNT IS MOVING A LITTLE SLOWER
IN THE LATEST MODEL RUNS.

EXTENDED...DRY THU-SAT WITH BROAD HIGH PRESSURE ACRS THE AREA. GFS
SHOWS SOME QPF IN THE W ON SAT BUT THINK THIS MAY BE A BIT TOO FAST
SO WL LEAVE OUT FOR  NOW. SAT NT BRING IN CHC THUNDER AND KEEP IT IN
TIL THE END OF THE PD WITH BOTH ECM AND GFS SHOWING ANOTHER FNT
STALLING ACRS THE FA SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT SITUATION.

&&

.AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 18Z TAFS.

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PD BASED ON LCL AND MODEL TIME
SECS. HOWEVER...CD FNT ACRS THE UPR GT LKS WL DROP SE INTO NCTRL IN
THIS EVENING AND THEN BECOME QUASI-STNRY. ALSO...MODELS BRING S/W
ACRS THE SRN GT LKS EARLY THIS EVE. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN SCT TRWS
DEVELOPING BY 23Z AT LAF AND 01Z AT IND AND HUF PER THE HIGH
RESOLUTION RAPID REFRESH. MODEL CAPES TO 3000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVE SHOULD REMAIN UP ENOUGH TO KEEP VCTS AND CBS IN THROUGH 18Z
TUE. CVRG AND TIMING TOO UNCERTAIN TO PLACE TRWS IN A MAIN OR TEMPO
GROUP...BUT WL PUT VCTS IN STARTING AT 23Z AT LAF AND CBS A COUPLE
OF HOURS EARLIER FOR A BUFFER. LOOKS LIKE WINDS WL STAY UP JUST
ENOUGH TO KEEP VSBYS P6SM XCP AT BMG DESPITE DEW PTS COMING UP AS SW
WINDS GUSTING TO 18KTS DRAW +60 DEGREE DEW PTS CURRENTLY ACRS THE
MIDDLE MSP VLY NEWD ACRS CNTRL INDIANA. WL GO WITH MVFR VBYS AT BMG
WITH LAV AND GFS MOS INDICATED SW WINDS LESS THAN 5KTS AND DEW PTS
IN THE LOWER 60S.
