AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
328 AM EST TUE FEB 10 2009

...STRONG WIND EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY...

.DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS WILL BE ON QPF AND HIGH WIND ON
WEDNESDAY.

THERE IS SOME MODEL DISAGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF THE NEXT SYSTEM
AND WILL USE A BLEND BUT LEAN MORE ON THE GFS.

TODAY...RAIN SHOWERS WERE EXITING THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA THIS
MORNING.  THERE WAS SOME CLEARING IN IL BUT IT MAY ONLY REACH THE
FAR NW CWA LATER TODAY.  IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE CWA WILL REMAIN
CLOUDY ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS THIS
AFTERNOON...ENOUGH TO HELP BRING TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 60S AND
EVEN NEAR 70 IN THE FAR SW CWA. DEWPOINTS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
THROUGH THE DAY AND WILL REACH THE 50S BY THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...WARM MOIST AIR WILL BE PLENTIFUL BY TONIGHT AND RAIN WILL
BEGIN IN THE EVENING IN THE SOUTH.  THE H5 TROF WILL DEEPEN TO A
CLOSED LOW BY LATE TONIGHT WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCING OUT AHEAD OF
THIS LOW.  SEVERAL SHWVS WILL PASS THROUGH THE CWA TONIGHT AHEAD OF
THIS LOW AND WILL HELP BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN TO THE CWA.  AT THIS
TIME IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE HIGHER QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE ANYWERE FROM
THE HUF AREA TO LAF AREA...MOSTLY IN THE WABASH.

WEDNESDAY...H5 LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN AND BECOMES MORE NEGATIVELY
TILTED BY WEDNESDAY.  THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE SYSTEM DEEPENS AS WELL
BY WED MORNING.  MODELS DISAGREE ON THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE
SFC LOW AND WILL USE A BLEND FOR PLACEMENT.  AS THE LOW MOVES
NORTHEAST IT CONTINUES TO DEEPEN CREATING A VERY TIGHT SURFACE
GRADIENT.  MOS SHOWS SUSTAINED 30MPH AND BUFKIT DERIVED GUSTS SHOW
GUSTS AS HIGH AS 55-60MPH.  H85 JET IS IN THE 60-65KT RANGE BY WED
AFTERNOON SO THERE WILL BE VERY STRONG WIND FROM THE SURFACE ON UP.
THAT SAID WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH STARTING ON WED MORNING TIL
12Z THURS.  THERE WILL BE A WINDOW OF TIME WHEN THE HIGHEST GUSTS
OCCUR...SOMETIME WED AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...BUT TIMING THIS TO
A MORE EXACT DEGREE IS DIFFICULT THIS FAR OUT SO HAVE ISSUED FOR THE
ENTIRE CWA FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME.  MOST AREAS WILL BE IN AT
LEAST ADVISORY CRITERIEA FOR MOST OF WED/WED EVENING BUT AN UPGRADE
TO WARNING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AND THUS THE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED.

HEAVIER RAIN WILL ALSO BE AN ISSUE ON WED AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING.  MODLES ARE STILL KEEPING THE HIGHEST QPF OVER THE WABASH
BASIN BUT ALL OF CENTRAL INDIANA WILL SEE RAINFALL OF AT LEAST 1-2
INCHES SO WIDESPREAD LOW LAND FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED.

AND THE FINAL ISSUE TO ADDRESS FOR WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE.  HEAVY RAIN AND OVERCAST SKIES WILL LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY THAT CAN BE REALIZED.  THE NAM/GFS/SREF HAVE ALL BACKED
OFF ON THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY OF WED AFTERNOON SO THAT WILL BE A
LIMITING FACTOR FOR SEVERE DEVELOPMENT.  THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF
A SQUALL LINE AND THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND
ESPECIALLY AS THE FRONT PASSES AND COLDER AIR QUICKLY MOVES IN
BEHIND THE FRONT.  SPC HAS THE CWA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR WEDNESDAY.

THURS/FRI/SAT...NO BIG CHANGES MADE TO THE END OF THE WEEK
FORECAST.  THURS/FRI STILL LOOK DRY WITH MORE ZONAL H5 FLOW.  HIGHS
WILL BE IN THE 40S AND LOWS IN THE 20S.  ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH INDIANA BRINGING A
CHANCE OF EITHER RAIN OR SNOW DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE
SURFACE LOW.

&&

.AVIATION...

DISCUSSION FOR 06Z TAFS.

THE FIRST BATCH OF RAIN IS MAKING QUICK MOVEMENT ACROSS INDIANA AND
SHOULD BE MAINLY CLEARED OF THE TAF SITES BY 09Z. THERE HAS BEEN
ALMOST NO REDUCTION IN CIGS OR VSBY WITH THIS RAIN AND SO WILL
CONTINUE THIS TREND. THERE WILL BE DRY AIR ALOFT MIXING IN AFTER 09Z
AND THIS WILL HELP TO KEEP CIGS AND VSBY IN THE VFR RANGE. WINDS
WILL INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AS A
WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE AREA. THE NEXT ROUND OF RAIN WILL MOVE
BACK INTO THE AREA AFTER 00Z. THIS WILL HAVE MUCH MORE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH IT...AND THUS WILL BEGIN A TREND TO MVFR
CIGS AND VSBY TOWARDS THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...HIGH WIND WATCH 15Z WED TO 12Z
THURS ALL OF IND CWA.
