CLINTON-TIPPECANOE-
922 PM EDT MON JUN 1 2009

...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1045 PM EDT FOR
CLINTON AND SOUTHERN TIPPECANOE COUNTIES...

AT 920 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO
INDICATE A THUNDERSTORM PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING OVER THE WARNED
AREA.

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO 
SHADELAND...MULBERRY...MICHIGANTOWN AND FRANKFORT.

DOPPLER RADAR INDICATES THAT IN THE LAST HOUR...ADDITIONAL RAINFALL 
OF ONE TO TWO INCHES HAS FALLEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WARNED AREA. 
THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS BEEN IN EAST CENTRAL CLINTON COUNTY NEAR 
MICHIGANTOWN AND ALONG PORTIONS OF HIGHWAY 29 NORTH OF MICHIGANTOWN.

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IN THE NEXT HOUR OF UP TO AN INCH IS POSSIBLE IN 
THE WARNED AREA.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS WELL AS FARMLAND ALONG THE
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DON/T DROWN.

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

.AVIATION DISCUSSION...FOR THE 00Z TAFS
A COLD FRONT WAS OVER NORTHERN INDIANA. SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
ALONG THE FRONT. OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS VFR CONDITIONS. BRIEF PERIODS
OF IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY RAIN IN THE STORMS. THE FRONT WILL MOVE
INTO CENTRAL INDIANA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SCATTERED TSTMS WILL AGAIN
DEVELOP. CONTINUED VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WITH
ISOLATED IFR CONDITIONS WITH THE TSTMS.

&&

.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.

701 PM EDT MON JUN 1 2009

...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PASSING THROUGH INDIANAPOLIS...

CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTFLOW OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
OVER FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE INDIANAPOLIS METROPOLITAN AREA WILL
BE MOVING THROUGH THE CITY OVER THE NEXT ONE TO TWO HOURS. THESE
TURBULENT...LOW HANGING CLOUDS OFTEN TIMES CAN APPEAR TO BE SIMILAR
TO FUNNEL CLOUDS. HOWEVER...THESE ARE NOT FUNNELS. THESE ARE MERELY
TURBULENT CLOUD FRAGMENTS THAT...WHILE APPEARING OMINOUS...ARE NOT
ACTUALLY ROTATING...AND DO NOT POSE A DANGER TO THOSE ON THE GROUND.
THE KEY TO IDENTIFYING A FUNNEL CLOUD IS ORGANIZED AND PERSISTENT
ROTATION ABOUT A VERTICAL AXIS. WHILE THESE TURBULENT CLOUD FRAGMENTS
MAY APPEAR TO ROTATE...THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF THE CHAOTIC MOTIONS
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. BE SURE TO WATCH FOR ANY PERSISTENT AND
ORGANIZED ROTATION...TO IDENTIFY WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE VIEWING A
FUNNEL CLOUD.
