AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
326 PM EDT FRI JUN 11 2010

.UPDATE...
THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM...SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM SECTIONS HAVE
BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA TONIGHT...
BRINGING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION. A
COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA LATER ON SATURDAY AND BECOME
NEARLY STATIONARY. THIS WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED CHANCES FOR RAIN
THROUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING/...
EXCEPTIONALLY STEAMY THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED
INTO THE UPPER 80S OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. MONITORING LINE
OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LIFTING NORTH FROM TERRE HAUTE TO
COLUMBUS AT 19Z. VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND DAMAGING WINDS HAVE BEEN
REPORTED WITH THE LINE.

FORECAST CHALLENGES FOCUS ON CONVECTION FOR THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON...AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER
SOUTHERN MISSOURI LATER TONIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW AND IMPACTS
WITH CONVECTION OVERNIGHT. HAVE TAKEN A BLEND OF THE MODEL
GUIDANCE.

CURRENT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ON THE LEADING EDGE OF VORT ENERGY
ALOFT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW. MESOSCALE ANALYSIS INDICATING
MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS ACROSS REGION WITH AXIS OF MLCAPES
AT 2500-3000 J/KG. PWATS WERE IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES. STORMS HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE A FEW WET MICROBURSTS... AND WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE LINE MOVES ACROSS
I-70 AND INTO THE INDY METRO AREA. WILL MAINTAIN SCATTERED POPS
INTO THE EVENING.

FOCUS THEN TURNS TO ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER LOW LATER TONIGHT. LOW
LEVEL JET WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW AND WILL
COMBINE WITH PRESENCE OF DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ALONG WITH
EXCELLENT DIFFLUENCE ALOFT TO PROMOTE WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. WHILE THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD LARGELY BE
CONFINED TO THE ONGOING CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...MUCH GREATER
CONCERN FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING
TONIGHT. AXIS OF VERY HIGH PWATS APPROACHING 2.3 INCHES ACROSS
SOUTHERN 1/2 FORECAST AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND PRECIP EFFICIENCY
PROGS ALIGN NICELY WITH THIS AXIS. STORM MOTIONS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN BELOW 20KTS ALL NIGHT AND SOUNDING DATA INDICATING POTENTIAL
FOR STORMS TO BACKBUILD. FURTHERMORE...MODEL SOUNDINGS WOULD
SUGGEST THERE MAY BE A PERIOD OVERNIGHT WHERE WARM RAIN PROCESSES
WILL BE IN PLAY WITH FREEZING LEVELS STAYING NEAR 15KFT. THIS SORT
OF A SETUP WITH SUCH A HIGH FREEZING LEVEL IS OFTEN IDEAL FOR
EFFICIENT AND TORRENTIAL RAINFALL.

WHILE THE LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO BE WEAKER THAN IT WAS OVER
THE OZARKS LAST NIGHT...FEEL IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE BASED ON THE
PARAMETERS ABOVE TO HOIST A FLASH FLOOD WATCH BEGINNING AT 00Z
TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH 16Z SATURDAY. WHILE FOCUS FOR
HEAVIEST RAINFALL SHOULD BE NEAR AND SOUTH OF I-70...CONSIDERING
THE AMOUNT OF DEEP MOISTURE IN THE REGION HAVE CHOSEN TO PUT THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA UNDER THE WATCH. 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. HAVE RAISED TO CAT POPS
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY. PRECIP OVERAGE SHOULD DIMINISH
THROUGH THE MORNING AS THE UPPER LOW WEAKENS AND MOVES OFF TO THE
EAST.

TEMPS...HAVE HELD CLOSE TO MOS OVERNIGHT AS LOWS SHOULD REMAIN
IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY/...
FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON CHANCES FOR RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS AND THE
LOCATION OF THE FRONT THROUGH THE PERIOD. HAVE TAKEN A BLEND OF
AVAILABLE MODEL DATA AS ALL GUIDANCE IS PLACING THE BOUNDARY
SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MONDAY.

HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEKEND...WITH UPPER TROUGH OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND RIDGE
HOLDING EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. PIECES OF ENERGY WILL
CONTINUE TO EJECT FROM THE UPPER LOW AND RIDE AROUND THE RIDGE INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY COURTESY OF MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THE
PRESENCE OF THE STRONG RIDGING ALOFT TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION
WILL BLOCK ANY SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION TO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS IT
SIDLES INTO THE FORECAST AREA BY SATURDAY EVENING. THE RESULT WILL
BE CONTINUED PERIODIC CHANCES FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR ALL
OF CENTRAL INDIANA AS WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RIDE THE BOUNDARY AND/OR
PIECES OF ENERGY ALOFT RIDE THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST FLOW. THE
BOUNDARY WILL BE UNABLE TO SHIFT SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER UNTIL
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BREAKS DOWN...AND THIS IS NOT LIKELY TO
HAPPEN UNTIL LATER ON MONDAY OR EVEN TUESDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL
FLOW FLATTENS.

ATTEMPTING TO TIME WHEN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL BE GREATEST IN A
PATTERN LIKE THIS IS DIFFICULT. AT THIS POINT...IT APPEARS
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE
ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZES AGAIN. HOWEVER...MODEL CONSENSUS DOES
APPEAR TO BE ZEROING IN ON A HIGHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING AS A SURFACE WAVE DRIFTS THROUGH THE
REGION AND THE LOW LEVEL JET IS BRIEFLY ENHANCED. MAY EVENTUALLY
NEED LIKELY POPS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME...BUT HAVE HELD TO CHANCE
POPS FOR NOW. WOULD LIKE TO SEE MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT ON THE
TIMING OF THIS WAVE BEFORE RAISING POPS. ADDITIONAL CHANCES WILL
EXIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM. WITH LESS
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE CONVECTION FROM SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY...WILL SIMPLY MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS AT THIS TIME
WITH ADDITIONAL DETAIL BEING EMPLOYED OVER THE WEEKEND.

TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WILL REMAIN A SIGNIFICANT THREAT FROM ANY
THUNDERSTORM THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH PWATS NEAR 2 INCHES FOR
MUCH OF THE PERIOD. POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO BE SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WET MICROBURSTS AND POSSIBLY LARGE HAIL WILL ESSENTIALLY
BE POSSIBLE AT ANY TIME THROUGH MONDAY. GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR
MORE WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THOUGH WILL BE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES AND BL
SHEAR VALUES ARE ENHANCED. COMBINATION OF DIURNAL HEATING AND DEEP
MOISTURE WILL PROVIDE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY WITH
MLCAPES IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG. OUTSIDE OF THIS PERIOD AS
MENTIONED THOUGH...CONVECTION OCCASIONALLY PULSING TO NEAR OR
ABOVE SEVERE LIMITS IS ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE AT ANY TIME...MUCH LIKE
WHAT IS ONGOING THIS AFTERNOON.

TEMPS...GENERALLY STAYED CLOSE TO MAVMOS GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THE
SHORT TERM...ALTHOUGH TIMING OF CONVECTION COULD HAVE IMPACTS ON
FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES. WILL REMAIN EXTREMELY WARM AND HUMID
WITH LOWS ABOVE 70 DEGREES SAT/SUN NIGHTS. SHOULD SOME AREAS
MANAGE TO GET INTO THE LOW 90S BOTH SAT AND SUN WITH EXPECTED
DEWPOINTS...HEAT INDICES IN THE UPPER 90S WILL BE POSSIBLE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL STILL BE PLAGUED BY
RAIN CHANCES THANKS TO THAT PESKY BOUNDARY. LATEST GUIDANCE SHOWS
THE BOUNDARY HOLDING FURTHER TO THE NORTH MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY BEFORE FINALLY DROPPING TO THE SOUTH LATE TUESDAY. THERE
SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH OF A CONSENSUS BETWEEN THE EURO...GFS AND UKMET
TO KEEP AT LEAST CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST DURING THIS TIME.

AS FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A
CONSISTENCY AMONG THE MODELS WITH RESPECT TO BUILDING A RIDGE OVER
THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. FROM TUES NIGHT ONWARD
HAVE KEPT FORECAST DRY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 80S FOR THE
MAJORITY OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 111800Z TAFS/...

TRICKY AVIATION FORECASTING IN STORE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AS AN
UPPER LOW APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE SW AND MOVES EAST ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE STATE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THIS
WEEKEND...EXPECT RENEWED CHANCES FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS
THE ENTIRE STATE. 18Z TAF PACKAGE TRIED TO DEPICT THIS AS BEST AS
POSSIBLE WITH A MIXTURE OF -SHRA/VCTS AND CB GROUPS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. SOUNDINGS ARE SHOWING THE COLUMN MOISTEN ENUF TO PUT MANY
TERMINALS IN MFVR OVERNIGHT, WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAFS.

CONDITIONS WILL BE SLOW TO IMPROVE SAT MORNING. MOST TERMINALS
SHOULD RISE TO VFR BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING FOR INZ021-028>031-035>049-051>057-060>065-067>072.
