AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
720 PM EDT SAT JUL 24 2010

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
HOT AND HUMID AIR IN PLACE WHILE COLD FRONT UP ACROSS WISCONSIN
AND BACK TO SOUTHERN IOWA WILL GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTHEAST TRIGGERING
A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN UNSTABLE AIR THROUGH THIS EVENING.
FRONT CONTINUES SOUTHWARD PUSH OVERNIGHT TO SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF
FORECAST AREA AND EVENTUALLY TO OHIO RIVER LATE SUNDAY. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE IN VICINITY OF FRONT THROUGH THE
NIGHT AND DAYTIME SUNDAY THOUGH WEAKENING AND DIMINISHING STORM
COVERAGE SHOULD OCCUR OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING SUNDAY WITH MORE
LIMITED ENERGY AVAILABLE. STRONGER STORMS EXPECTED DURING HEAT
OF DAY SUNDAY. FRONT WILL BEGIN A PUSH BACK NORTH EARLY NEXT WEEK
AND REMAIN ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK AND
LIKE THIS WEEK...RESULT IN A DAILY CHANCE FOR SCATTERED STORMS
DURING PEAK HEATING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUE THIS PERIOD IS COVERAGE AND REACH OF STORMS.

EXPECTING SOMEWHAT SIMILAR WEATHER TONIGHT RELATIVE TO LAST NIGHT
IN THAT STORM GROWTH IN NUMBERS AND STRENGTH WILL TAKE PLACE ALONG
EXISTING BOUNDARIES IN NRN IL AND NRN IN THEN SINK SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE EVENING. SQUALL LINE SEGMENTS ALIGNING SW-NE WILL HAVE
INCREASED POTENTIAL OF BOWING AND WIND DAMAGE AS THEY TAP INTO
STRONG WINDS ALOFT. CAPES ABOVE 4000 AGAIN. DIFFERENCE TODAY VS.
YESTERDAY ARE WIND FIELDS SLIGHTLY STRONGER AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN ADDITIONAL LIFT IN PLACE NOT PRESENT LAST
NIGHT SO STORMS SHOULD PUSH FURTHER SOUTH THOUGH NUMBERS AND
STRENGTH STILL EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AS NIGHT TIME COOLING OCCURS.

EXPECT ALL COUNTIES SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED RAIN BY DAYBREAK AND
NORTHERN COUNTIES MOST LIKELY AND HEAVIEST WHERE STORMS HAVE
CHANCE TO FIRE WITH GREATEST INSTABILITY AND STRONGEST WIND FIELDS.
DO NOT EXPECT FLOODING RAINS SIMILAR TO MKE AND CHI LAST FEW
NIGHTS SINCE OUR AREA IS ON EDGE OF DEEP WESTERLIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY/...
FORECAST ISSUE IS HOW FAR SOUTH PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE AND HOW
MUCH MAY FALL.

ALL MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON DRIVING WIND SHIFT BOUNDARY
SOUTH OF I-70 BY 12Z SUNDAY THOUGH DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE AND HIGH
SURFACE DEWPOINTS STILL REMAIN IN PLACE BEHIND WIND SHIFT. END
RESULT WILL BE CONTINUATION OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS DURING MORNING HOURS.

BY NOON...ALL MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE REAR
EDGE HAS PUSHED SOUTH OF I-70 AND THUS REMAINING CHANCE FOR RAIN
SHOULD OCCUR SOUTH OF I-70 AFTER THE NOON HOUR. WITH PEAK DAYTIME
HEATING...EXPECT SOME INCREASE IN RAIN COVERAGE DURING AFTERNOON
ALONG AND SOUTH OF EAST FORK WHITE RIVER AS SHEAR AXIS MOVES
THROUGH FLOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR CURRENT FORECAST AND NEAR CURRENT
GUIDANCE VALUES SO BLEND AND MINOR ADJUSTMENTS HERE BUT
ESSENTIALLY MID AND UPPER 80S WITH DEWPOINTS FALLING FROM LOWER
70S IN THE MORNING TO UPPER 60S LATE IN THE DAY...IE VERY WARM AND
HUMID BUT NOT AS BAD AS TODAY AND FRIDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT FRONT STALLS PUSHES INTO KENTUCKY ALLOWING SOMEWHAT
LESS HUMID AIR TO FILTER IN AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES. STILL CHANCE OF RESIDUAL SHOWERS BEHIND FRONT
OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES. LOW TEMPERATURES ACTUALLY DROP BACK TO MID
60S FOR NORTHERN COUNTIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NEXT WEEK FEATURES A RETURN OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS WEAK TROF LIFTS
UP THE BACKSIDE OF THE EAST COAST RIDGE. GFS APPEARS TO BE MOST
AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS AND SEEMS TO BE SLIGHT OUTLIER SO HAVE LEANED
MORE TOWARD NAM AND EURO SOLUTIONS OF SLIGHTLY SLOWER RETURN OF
SFC FRONT. ALL MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT IN TUE-THU TIME
FRAME WITH ANOTHER STRONG SHORT WAVE MOVING EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN
CANADA HELPING TO RAISE HEIGHTS...RETURN SW SURFACE FLOW...AND
LIFT SURFACE FRONT BACK TO CENTRAL INDIANA. THUS THE RETURN FOR
DAILY RAIN CHANCES. CANADIAN SYSTEM FORECAST BY MODELS TO SWEEP
NEXT COLD FRONT ACROSS INDIANA THURSDAY AND THIS APPEARS AS BEST
CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION FOR THE WEEK.

LATEST GUIDANCE ON TEMPS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO CURRENT FORECAST SO
USED A BLEND RESULTING IN ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS...MEANING A
RETURN TO SUMMER LIKE TEMPS WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER
90S AND LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 70S. RIDGE DOES NOT REBUILD AS STRONG
AS THIS PAST WEEK SO RETURN TO MID 90S IS NOT EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION.../DISCUSSION FOR 250000Z ISSUANCE/...

COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM NORTHWEST IL SOUTHWEST INTO SOUTHERN KS
WITH A STATIONARY FRONT THAT LIES ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA. BEEN
MONITORING A LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE NORTHWEST OF
KLAF AT THIS TIME AND THESE STROMS WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA
BETWEEN NOW AND 0400Z. EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS EARLY TONIGHT WITH
IFR CONDITIONS IN THE VICINITY OF -TSRA. THE FRONT SETTLES INTO
CENTRAL INDIANA AFTER 0900Z WITH MVFR CONDITIONS WITH SOME FOG.
CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE SUNDAY MORNING WITH IFR CONDITIONS
RETURNING BY EARLY AFTERNOON.
