...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR HOWARD AND CARROLL
COUNTIES UNTIL 730 AM EDT...

AT 528 AM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED 
ANOTHER LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE 
WARNED AREA. THIS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING AN ADDITIONAL 1 
TO 2 INCHES TO CARROLL AND HOWARD COUNTIES THROUGH 730 AM.  

RUNOFF FROM THIS EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLASH FLOODING TO
OCCUR. SOME LOCATIONS THAT WILL EXPERIENCE FLOODING INCLUDE...KOKOMO
AND DELPHI.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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
1234 AM EDT TUE JUN 22 2010

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA THIS
EVENING. OVERNIGHT...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SHIFT EAST ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THEN A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE MIDWEST THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/...
FORECAST FOCUS TONIGHT IS ON THUNDERSTORM/HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.

DISCRETE CELLS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG A W-E ORIENTED BOUNDARY
ACROSS PORTIONS OF IL AND IN...AHEAD OF THE MAIN COMPLEX WHICH IS
CURRENTLY MOVING EASTWARD OVER IOWA...IL...AND WI. RECENT RADAR
DATA SHOWS SEVERAL OF THESE CELLS HAVE SUPERCELLULAR
STRUCTURE/ROTATION AS THEY ENCOUNTER ENHANCED LOW LEVEL HELICITY
ALONG THE BOUNDARY. 00Z SOUNDING FROM ILX SHOWS LOW LCL HEIGHTS
/3000 FT/ AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES THAT SHOULD CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES AND DMGG WINDS.

DISCRETE CELLULAR ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP INTO MORE WIDESPREAD LINES
AS MAIN COMPLEX APPROACHES FROM THE NW. WITH PWAT RUNNING CLOSE TO
2 INCHES AND THESE STORMS SLOW MOVING WE COULD CERTAINLY SEE SOME
WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING OVERNIGHT. ALREADY THIS EVENING SEVERAL
FFW'S WERE ISSUED AND WOULD EXPECT THE TRENDS TO CONTINUE,
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW SATURATED THE GROUND IS. THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH TUE MORNING. SEE THE
HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR MORE ON FLOOD POTENTIAL TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

SHORT TERM FORECAST FOCUS REMAINS ON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND HEAT.

RIDGE STRENGTHENS/BUILDS NORTHWARD SLIGHTLY TOMORROW AND
WEDNESDAY...AND THIS SHOULD DEFLECT THE PREFERRED TRACK FOR
CONVECTION JUST TO OUR NORTH. THUS...CHANCE POPS TAPERING FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH LOOK BEST. 700 TEMPS WARM SIGNIFICANTLY TOMORROW
AND REMAIN WARM INTO WEDNESDAY...WHICH WOULD PUT US ON THE
PERIPHERY OF ANY POP UP CONVECTION IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY
BOUNDARIES LAID OUT BY MCS ACTIVITY AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES.

ON TEMPS...MET GUIDANCE LOOKS MUCH BETTER COMPARED TO EXPECTED 850
TEMP PROGRESSION. MAV ALSO SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING SIGNIFICANTLY
WITH VERY WET GROUND HOLDING DOWN DIURNAL HEATING POTENTIAL. THIS
STILL LEADS TO TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S.

HEAT INDICES TOMORROW SHOULD APPROACH OR EXCEED 100 DEGREES ACROSS
THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT OF THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW...AND WILL
GO AHEAD WITH A HEAT ADVISORY IN THIS AREA...AS IT APPEARS LESS
LIKELY THAT CONVECTION WILL PERSIST INTO THE MORNING HOURS
TOMORROW AS OCCURRED TODAY...SEVERELY IMPACTING MORNING DIURNAL
WARMING.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

SIGNAL HAS STRENGTHENED SOMEWHAT IN LONGER RANGE MODELS THAT A
SIGNIFICANT BREAK IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CAN BE EXPECTED FROM
THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...AS BROAD SURFACE HIGH
SHUTTLES EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION. FRONT WILL BE PASSING THROUGH
THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING AND THIS SHOULD MODERATE MAX TEMPS
THURSDAY...BEFORE ANOTHER WARMUP BACK INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOW
90S AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES.

BACKED OFF HPC/MEX GUIDANCE CLOSER TO ENSEMBLE MEANS...AS AGAIN IT
APPEARS THAT GUIDANCE IS STRUGGLING WITH WET CONDITIONS WHICH WILL
HELP TO MODERATE HEATING SOMEWHAT.

PRECIP CHANCES RETURN SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS A FRONT SAGS
SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION.../220600Z TAF ISSUANCE/
SCATTERED CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS IMPACTING THE REGION AT THIS
TIME...AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT
AIDED BY APPROACHING UPPER DISTURBANCE AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET.
APPEARS CONVECTIVE THREAT WILL LINGER ACROSS THE TERMINALS UNTIL
AROUND 221300Z. BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS PROBABLE IN THE HEAVIER
CONVECTION. CONVECTIVE CLOUD BASES AROUND 040.

OUTSIDE OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY...NOT EXPECTING ANY ISSUES WITH
CEILINGS...VISIBILITIES...OR WINDS THROUGH 221800Z.

&&

.HYDROLOGY.../FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING/

GIVEN EXPECTATION OF ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT...BOUNDARY IN THE AREA...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND
150 PERCENT OF NORMAL...DEEP WARM CLOUD DEPTH /FREEZING LEVELS
APPROACHING 15KFT/...AND VERY WET GROUND THROUGHOUT CENTRAL
INDIANA...HAVE GONE WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW...ANY
SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION HAS BEEN ENOUGH TO PRODUCE NUISANCE
FLOODING AT A BARE MINIMUM...AND WITH ONE HOUR FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE AS LOW AS AN INCH ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...ANTICIPATE
THAT HYDRO ISSUES WILL BE DEALT WITH AT SOME POINT OVERNIGHT.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 8 AM EDT TUESDAY FOR INZ021-028>031-
035>049-051>057-060>065-067>072.
