AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
535 PM EST SUN JAN 24 2010

.AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 250000Z TAF ISSUANCE. COLD FRONT APPEARS
TO BE PUSHING THROUGH THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA...APPROACHING KIND/KBMG...WITH AN AREA OF RAIN AND SHOWERS
AHEAD OF IT. FRONT/BACK EDGE OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE CLOSE TO OR
PAST KIND/KBMG BY ISSUANCE TIME. LARGE AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS 015-020
IN THE POST FRONTAL ZONE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE TERMINALS OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND SHOULD HOLD THROUGH 251200Z. MORE
CONCENTRATED AREA OF IFR CEILINGS 006-009 ABOVE GROUND LEVEL EXISTS
FARTHER NORTH UPSTREAM OF KLAF...SO EXPECTING A PERIOD OF IFR
CEILINGS THERE EARLY TONIGHT.

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST A BRIEF PERIOD OF WIND GUSTS 20-25KTS
FROM 270-300 HEADINGS EXPECTED IN THE IMMEDIATE POST FRONTAL ZONE AT
KIND/KHUF.

&&

.DISCUSSION...ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...TEMPERATURES
WERE PLEASANTLY WARM...IN THE LOW TO MID 50S...WITH BANDS OF SHOWERS
ACROSS ROUGHLY THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
TO OUR WEST WAS KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR...JUST ABOUT TO CROSS INTO THE
STATE. SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLOUDY...WITH THE FIRST BREAKS IN THE DECK
OBSERVED IN SEVERAL DAYS. DEWPOINTS WERE IN THE 40S WITH WINDS OUT
OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 10-15 KNOTS GUSTING TO NEAR 20 KNOTS.

FORECAST CHALLENGE OF THE DAY WILL BE POPS AND TEMPS THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM.

MODELS WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT...BUT HAVE LEANED MORE TOWARDS NAM
AS IT HAS HAD A SLIGHTLY BETTER HANDLE ON PRECIP POSITIONING THIS
AFTERNOON.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING...WITH WINDS VEERING TO THE WEST
AND GUSTING UP TO 25-30 KNOTS OVERNIGHT AND INTO MONDAY. BANDS OF
SHOWERS JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT LOOK TO BE THE LAST PORTION OF THE
PRECIP BEFORE A SHORTWAVE ARRIVES EARLY MONDAY MORNING. PER BUFKIT
PROFILES...ANY PRECIP REMAINING AFTER ABOUT 06Z TONIGHT SHOULD BE
ALL SNOW...ALTHOUGH THERE SHOULD BE A LULL LATE TONIGHT IN ANY
PRECIP ACROSS THE AREA. HAVE CONCENTRATED HIGHEST POPS
EARLY...REDUCING THEM SHARPLY POST FRONT...AND DOWN TO ONLY SLIGHT
CHANCE LATE. TWO DISTINCT SHORTWAVES WILL SWING THROUGH THE
AREA...THE FIRST AROUND MIDDAY MONDAY...AND THE SECOND OVERNIGHT
MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY.

EXPECT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP MIDDAY TOMORROW AND PERSIST
INTO THE EVENING HOURS...INTENSIFYING AGAIN LATE EVENING AS THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE PUSHES IN. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR MONDAY NIGHT AS BUFKIT
PROFILES SHOW A DEEP DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE...WHICH COULD LEAD TO
INCREASED SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS. FOR THE MOMENT...TOTAL SNOWFALL FOR
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT SHOULD RANGE FROM A HALF INCH SOUTH...TO AN
INCH AROUND THE INDY METRO...TO UP TO TWO INCHES NORTH. A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS COULD LINGER ACROSS THE EAST AND NORTHEAST ON TUESDAY...BUT
LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.

ON TEMPS...WARM MAV LOOKS BEST FOR TONIGHT GIVEN UPSTREAM MINS LAST
NIGHT...BUT FOR MONDAY AND BEYOND...COOLER MET MOS LOOKS BEST...AS
HAS BEEN THE CASE THROUGH EACH OF OUR COLD SNAPS THUS FAR THIS
SEASON...AND HISTORICALLY AS WELL.

THROUGH THE EXTENDED...LEANED ON ECMWF AS IT HAS SHOWN DECENT RUN TO
RUN CONSISTENCY AND GFS IS STARTING TO COME IN LINE WITH A
SUPPRESSED SOLUTION LATE IN THE WEEK. NEXT SHOT AT PRECIP...IN THE
FORM OF SNOW...LOOKS TO BE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW NORMAL...LIKELY WELL BELOW
NORMAL LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
