AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
607 AM EDT WED MAY 12 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN FORMING ALONG A
STATIONARY BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM THE PLAINS...THROUGH SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS AND INDIANA...AND INTO NORTHERN OHIO. NONE OF THE STORMS
HAVE BEEN SEVERE...BUT FREQUENT LIGHTNING HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH
THE ACTIVITY ACROSS MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.
CURRENTLY...TEMPERATURES ARE RANGING FROM THE LOWER 50S ACROSS
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INDIANA...AND LOWER 60S OVER THE
SOUTHERN COUNTIES.  DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE 50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
THE MAIN FOCUS OF SHORT TERM IS POPS AND SEVERE THREAT TODAY AND
TOMORROW.

A WARM FRONT WILL TRY TO PUSH NORTH INTO CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY.
THERE IS CONCERN FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA AS INDIANA BECOMES SUBMERGED IN A WARM SECTOR.
HOWEVER...UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN JUST HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM FRONT
WILL GO AS A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE LOW OVER NEW
ENGLAND TRIES TO SUPPRESS IT. IN ADDITION...DYNAMICS WILL BE
LACKING...BUT CONVECTION CANNOT BE RULED OUT LATER TODAY WITH
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT...AFTERNOON HEATING...AND SUFFICIENT
ISENTROPIC LIFT. KEPT CHANCE POPS IN FOR TONIGHT...BUT THIS WILL
BE DEPENDENT ON WHAT HAPPENS THIS AFTERNOON...MAY HAVE TO BE
ADJUSTED IN LATER UPDATES.

TOMORROW...SPC HAS FORECAST AREA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK AS THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO THE AREA. THE EURO/GEM ARE TAKING THE CENTER
OF THE LOW FARTHER NORTH THAN THE GFS AND NAM...WHICH HAVE THE
TRACK PASSING ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN. SO...THE BEST DYNAMICS
CONTINUE TO BE WELL NORTH OF CENTRAL INDIANA. HOWEVER...THE
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FORECAST AREA ON THURSDAY
EVENING...AND WILL ENTER THE WARM/MOIST UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA. CAPES ARE STILL RANGING BETWEEN 2000-3000
J/KG...AND LI/S ARE AS LOW AS -8. AS A RESULT...CONTINUED WITH
LIKELY POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AND SEVERE THREAT WILL
MOST LIKELY HAVE TO BE ADDED IN NEXT PACKAGE ISSUANCE. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL COME TO AN END ON THURSDAY NIGHT...AND CALM
WEATHER WILL RETURN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

AS FAR AS TEMPS...TRENDED AT OR BELOW GUIDANCE FOR TODAY DUE TO
CLOUD COVER AND POSSIBLE COOL ENVIRONMENT FROM ANY STORMS THAT
MOVE THROUGH THIS MORNING. TONIGHT...LEANED ON THE HIGHER SIDE DUE
TO CLOUD COVER ONCE AGAIN. TOMORROW...WENT ABOVE GUIDANCE WITH
WARM AIR ADVECTION AND BRIEF CLEARING DURING THE MORNING HOURS.
TOMORROW NIGHT...LIKED COOLER TEMPS AS COLD FRONT AND RAIN COOLED
ENVIRONMENT PREVAIL. FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...WENT WITH BLEND OF
MODELS. THERE WILL BE CLEAR SKIES...BUT COLD AIR IN THE WAKE OF
AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT. MODELS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON CLEAR
SKIES AND COLDER LOWS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM.../SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/.

WENT CLOSEST TO ECMWF FOR THE LONG TERM...BUT DID INCORPORATE SOME
HPC/GFS GUIDANCE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO UNCERTAINTY. THE FRONT
WILL REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE FRONT
MAY TRY TO MOVE NORTH ON MONDAY. ADDED POPS TO SUNDAY IN THE FAR
SOUTH AND ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA ON MONDAY DUE TO THIS POSSIBILITY.

&&

.AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 12/12Z TAF ISSUANCE.

RAPID REFRESH AND AWIPS DISTANCE SPEED TOOL SUGGEST THE AREA OF
THUNDERSTORMS IN OVERRUNNING REGIME ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
ILLNOIS AND SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA WILL BE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TERMINALS BY ISSUANCE TIME AND REACH IND AND LAF AROUND 14Z
STICKING AROUND FOR THREE HOURS AT LEAST. ACTIVITY SHOULD KEEP THE
FRONT STALLED ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA UNTIL AFTERNOON WHEN IT IS
EXPECTED TO LIFT GRADUALLY NORTHWARD AND MOVE NORTH OF THE TAF SITES
TONIGHT. SHOULD THEN BE A BREAK DURING THE AFTERNOON BEFORE
ADDITIONAL STORMS FIRE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AND THURSDAY
MORNING. PLENTY OF INSTABILITY TONIGHT TO KEEP ANY PRECIP MENTION TO
VCTS AS OPPOSED TO JUST SHOWERS.

BASED ON UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS AND MODELS...CEILINGS SHOULD MOSTLY
BE MVFR THROUGH THE PERIOD BUT COULD BE WORSE IN THUNDERSTORMS.
WINDS TODAY SHOULD BE FROM THE NORTHEAST AT LESS THAN 10 KNOTS AND
SWITCH TO THE SOUTHEAST AND FINALLY SOUTH LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT
AFTER THE WARM FRONT PASSES THROUGH. SOUTH WINDS WILL START GUSTING
TO 25 KNOTS OR MORE AROUND 12Z THURSDAY AS A LOW LEVEL JET POINTS
NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL INDIANA.

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
