730 AM EDT SAT OCT 31 2009

.AVIATION DISCUSSION...FOR THE 12Z TAFS
MAIN PROBLEM FOR AVIATION WILL BE GUSTY WINDS. INDIANA WILL BE UNDER
A STRONG FLOW FROM THE NW. THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GIVE
CAUSE GUSTS TO 25 KTS. THE UNSTABLE FLOW WILL CAUSE CIGS ARND 4
THOUSAND FT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO INDIANA LATER THIS

.DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH LO CENTERED OVER ONTARIO HAS MOVED
THRU FA. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS OVER
EASTERN CWA...BUT THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA HAS CLEARED OUT. IT/S
A VERY WELL-DEFINED CUTOFF BETWEEN THE COLD/DRY AIR BEHIND
FRONT...AND MOIST AIR AHEAD OF IT. SO...NOT EXPECTING ANY SHOWERS
TO RE-DEVELOP BEHIND FRONT. RIDGE IS BUILDING INTO NORTHERN
IN...SO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES/DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THRU
TOMORROW.

NO MAJOR FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR FORECAST PERIOD. THE ONLY THING
THAT REALLY HAS TO BE MONITORED ARE TEMPS. WX PATTERN SHOULDN/T
WAIVER MUCH...BUT EVERYTHING WILL COME DOWN TO CLOUD
COVER/RADIATIONAL COOLING.

LIKED GFS/RUC FOR TODAY/S HIGHS. FEEL NAM IS 3 TO 5 DEGREES TOO
COOL CONSIDERING H8 TEMPS WILL BE AROUND FREEZING. DO NOT THINK
CLEARING WILL BE ENOUGH TO COMPENSATE FOR CAA AT SURFACE EITHER.
ALL MODELS HAVE GOOD HANDLE ON RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT...WITH
LOWS IN THE MID 30S. TOMORROW...WENT WITH BLEND OF GFS AND NAM.
TRENDED TOWARD WARMER NAM ON DAYS 3 & 4. CROSS SECTIONS SHOWING
SOME LOW AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS FILTERING IN BRIEFLY WHICH SHOULD
KEEP SUNDAY NIGHT/S LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S/LOWER 40S. ANOTHER ROUND
OF COLD AIR REINFORCEMENT WILL MOVE IN ON TUES BEHIND SYSTEM
MOVING THRU CANADA. ALSO...RAISED POPS TO 20/30 PERCENT ON MON/TUE
AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THRU.
