...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN MADISON COUNTY
UNTIL 900 AM EDT...

AT 841 AM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED
THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE WARNED AREA. RADAR
ESTIMATES INDICATE UP TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN HAVE FALLEN OVER EXTREME
NORTHERN MADISON COUNTY SINCE 500 PM.

RUNOFF FROM THIS EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLASH FLOODING TO
OCCUR OVER EXTREME NORTHERN MADISON COUNTY...INCLUDING THE TOWNS OF 
RIGDON AND SUMMITVILLE.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM THIS STORM WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS
AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...NORMALLY DRY WASHES... AS WELL AS
FARMLAND ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
516 AM EDT MON JUN 21 2010

.UPDATE...
THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
THE PERSISTENT FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LIFT BACK NORTH ACROSS THE
REGION TODAY BEFORE BECOMING NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES THROUGH MIDWEEK. THE PRESENCE OF THE NEARBY BOUNDARY
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO PERIODIC CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS INTO
THURSDAY BEFORE IT MOVES BACK SOUTH OF THE REGION. INCREASINGLY
HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
QUIET EARLY MORNING IN PROGRESS AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SITS
ANCHORED JUST EAST OF THE REGION. FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPEARS TO BE
LOCATED FROM WESTERN ILLINOIS THROUGH SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA AND MAKING STEADY PROGRESS NORTH. TEMPERATURES
REMAINED IN THE 70S AT 08Z.

FORECAST CHALLENGES TODAY FOCUS ON THE HEAT AND POTENTIAL FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. HAVE ONCE AGAIN LEANED TOWARDS THE RAPID
REFRESH/RUC/WRF COMBO...ALL OF WHICH ARE HANDLING ONGOING
CONVECTION IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS REASONABLY WELL.

CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED QUICKLY ALONG THE BOUNDARY SINCE 07Z OVER
CENTRAL ILLINOIS...AND EXTRAPOLATION WOULD BRING THE LEADING EDGE OF
THESE STORMS INTO WESTERN COUNTIES BY 10-11Z. HAVE BUMPED POPS UP
THROUGH MID MORNING OVER AREAS TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE INDY METRO AS
THESE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MIGRATE INTO THE REGION.
WHILE STORMS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS EARLY THIS
MORNING...TORRENTIAL RAINFALL IS EXPECTED WITH MOVEMENT ONLY
20-25MPH. RADAR ESTIMATES FROM CONVECTION OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS
ALREADY INDICATING AS MUCH AS 2 TO 2.5 INCHES OVER THE LAST 90
MINUTES.

CLOUD DEBRIS AND PRECIPITATION FROM THE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER TO THE
WEST WILL EXPAND INTO THE REGION THROUGH THE MORNING BUT SHOULD DO
LITTLE TO SLOW THE HEATING PROCESS...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF
I-70. THE BOUNDARY CONTINUES ITS NORTHWARD TREK...EVENTUALLY
SETTLING NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF THE NORTHERN FORECAST AREA BORDER
THIS AFTERNOON. STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL BE PRESENT BY MID
AFTERNOON WITH SBCAPES OVER 4000 J/KG. LEFTOVER MCV AND ASSOCIATED
BOUNDARIES FROM CURRENT CONVECTION OUT WEST WILL LIKELY BE THE
INITIATION POINTS FOR CONVECTION ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...WITH THE POSSIBILITY THAT THUNDERSTORMS CAN COALESCE
INTO ONE OR MORE CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS. FOCUS WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE BOUNDARY AND
WILL CARRY HIGHEST POPS IN THESE AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. ALL MODES OF
SEVERE WEATHER IN PLAY LATER TODAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS
GREATEST.

TEMPS...ANOTHER HOT DAY SET FOR CENTRAL INDIANA WITH HIGHS RANGING
FROM THE UPPER 80S NORTH INTO THE MID 90S OVER THE SOUTHWEST.
MAVMOS GUIDANCE LOOKED TOO WARM TODAY AS IT HAS RECENTLY...AND
GENERALLY UNDERCUT BY 2-3 DEGREES TAKING LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES AND
850MB TEMPS INTO CONSIDERATION. WITH HEAT INDICES NEAR 100 DEGREES
AGAIN...WILL CONTINUE THE HEAT ADVISORY IN THE SOUTHWEST...AND
EXPAND IT TO GREENE...LAWRENCE AND SULLIVAN COS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
MORE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE BOUNDARY REMAINING JUST
NORTH OF THE REGION...AND THAT WILL STAY THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE
SHORT TERM. FOLLOWED ENSEMBLE APPROACH SUGGESTED BY SREF.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION MAY BE IN STORE TONIGHT AS
ANOTHER CONVECTIVE CLUSTER DEVELOPS IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE
DEEPER FORCING AND LOW LEVEL JET OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND MOVES
EAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY. LOW LEVEL JET WILL SHIFT EAST INTO
NORTHERN ILLINOIS/INDIANA OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH A MORE SUBSTANTIAL
MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE AND SHOULD HELP TO MAINTAIN THUNDERSTORMS ALL
NIGHT. THIS WILL LIKELY PROVIDE ANOTHER SHOT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS FOR THE REGION...ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN AS PRECIP WATER
VALUES CLIMB TO NEAR 2 INCHES. FOCUS SHOULD ONCE AGAIN BE OVER THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.

RIDGING ALOFT WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPAND NORTH INTO THE REGION
TUESDAY. HOWEVER ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR
POSSIBLE AS WEAK SHORT WAVES RIDES AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE
RIDGE. PRESENCE OF DEEP MOISTURE AND STRONG INSTABILITY WILL
PRESENT ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR SEVERE STORMS TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT AND HAVE MAINTAINED CHANCE POPS THROUGHOUT. MODELS
HAVE FURTHER STRENGTHENED THE RIDGING FOR WEDNESDAY...WHICH MAY
RESULT IN A DECREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE DURING THE DAY WITH A
WEAK INVERSION ALOFT DEVELOPING AND STORMS LARGELY BEING DRIVEN BY
DIURNAL HEATING AND INSTABILITY. A MORE SIGNIFICANT UPPER TROUGH
WILL SWING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND HELP TO
PUSH THE FRONT BACK INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. WILL THEREFORE
RAMP POPS BACK UP WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH THE LIKELIHOOD OF A LINE OF
STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION.

TEMPS...MAVMOS GUIDANCE REMAINS RATHER HIGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
AND CONSIDERING UNCERTAINTIES IN CLOUDS AND PRECIP COVERAGE
DEPENDING ON STORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD...PREFER UNDERCUTTING MOS
BY A FEW DEGREES. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES IN THE VICINITY OF 1440M
AND 850MB TEMPS AROUND 22C SHOULD ENSURE POTENTIALLY THE TWO
HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR SO FAR FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH
HIGHS IN THE LOW AND MID 90S. ADDITIONAL HEAT ADVISORIES MAY BE
EVENTUALLY NEEDED FOR ONE OR BOTH DAYS SHOULD THESE MODEL TRENDS
HOLD. NEAR MOS GUIDANCE FOR LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S THE NEXT FEW
NIGHTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/...
MODELS AGREE RELATIVELY WELL ON LARGE SCALE FEATURES IN THE
EXTENDED...WITH A RELATIVELY FLAT PATTERN CONTINUING...CONSISTING
OF RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL PORTION OF THE NATION...
TROUGHING NEAR OR JUST OFF THE WEST COAST...AND NUMEROUS QUICK
MOVING RELATIVELY WEAK DISTURBANCES EXITING THE LARGE SCALE
WESTERN TROUGH AND RIDING UP AND OVER THE RIDGE. THE UPSHOT OF
THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE CHANCES...AT LEAST
UNTIL THURSDAY EVENING WHEN THE CENTRAL US RIDGE STRENGTHENS
SLIGHTLY AND HELPS TO DIRECT CONVECTION FURTHER NORTH ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS LATE IN THE WEEK. EVEN
SO...HPC GUIDANCE SHOWED A FEW SLIGHT CHANCES DURING THAT
PERIOD...WHICH WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE UNREASONABLE IN THE WARM
SECTOR...BUT CHOSE TO LEAVE OUT AS NO DISCERNABLE FORCING
MECHANISM IS PRESENT...AND PREFER NOT TO INCLUDE BELOW CLIMO POPS
IN THE EXTENDED.

ON TEMPS...HPC AND MEX/MEN WERE CLOSE AND LOOKED VERY REASONABLE
GIVEN EXPECTED 850 TEMPS.

&&

.AVIATION.../210600Z TAF ISSUANCE/...
ISOLATED/WIDELY SCATTERED NOCTURNAL CONVECTION POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT
AS MODEST 850MB FLOW INTERACTS WITH REMNANT FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
UNSTABLE AIR ABOVE THE CAPPING INVERSION. ALSO...REMNANTS OF
CONVECTIVE CLUSTER CURRENTLY OVER THE PLAINS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
THE AREA AFTER ABOUT 211400Z...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW AS TO HOW
MUCH...IF ANY...CONVECTION WILL BE LEFT BY THAT TIME. DOES APPEAR
CONVECTIVE THREAT WILL BE HIGHER ON MONDAY THAN RECENTLY AS
CONVECTION TEMPERATURES ARE PROGGED TO BE LOWER THAN THEY HAVE
BEEN.

FAIRLY NARROW TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT SPREADS SHOULD LEAD TO AREAS OF
MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS 210700Z-211100Z...BUT DEGREE OF COVERAGE
SOMEWHAT DEPENDENT ON EXTENT OF HIGH LEVEL CLOUD FROM PLAINS
CONVECTION.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
HEAT ADVISORY FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 7 PM EDT THIS EVENING
FOR INZ067>069.
