AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1036 AM EDT SAT APR 23 2011

.UPDATE...
THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS CENTRAL INDIANA EARLY TODAY...AND THEN STALL
OUT NEAR THE OHIO RIVER. OCCASIONAL DISTURBANCES WILL CAUSE THIS
FRONT TO MEANDER ACROSS THE AREA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A
SIGNIFICANT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA AROUND
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT WEEK...BRINGING DRIER
CONDITIONS TO THE REGION BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

APPEARS DIFFUSE COLD FRONT IS LOCATED ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA BASED ON STREAMLINE ANALYSIS AND DEWPOINT TRENDS.
SOME WEAK SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY EXISTS AHEAD OF FRONT...BUT
EFFECTIVE BOUNDARY HAS BEEN PUSHED WELL SOUTH INTO KENTUCKY WHERE
STRONGER INSTABILITY EXISTS.

MESOSCALE VORTICITY CENTER MOVING EAST ACROSS ARKANSAS AND
MISSOURI MAY BEGIN AFFECTING THE LOCAL AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON
WITH AN INCREASE IN RAINFALL COVERAGE...BUT SHORT TERM MODELS
SUGGEST FORCING WON/T BE TOO STRONG DURING THE DAY TODAY...WITH
BETTER FORCING ARRIVING AFTER THIS PERIOD. THEREFORE...THINK
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN THREAT FOR THE REST OF TODAY IS DIMINISHING.
WILL BE KNOCKING POPS DOWN INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY EVERYWHERE
EXCEPT IN THE FAR SOUTHERN ZONES.

LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUGGEST FORECAST HIGHS FOR TODAY STILL LOOK
REASONABLE.

WILL LET THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH RIDE AS IS FOR NOW...WITH DECISIONS
ON REALIGNMENTS OR EXTENSIONS COMING LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA...ALONG WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR PERIODIC EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES EJECTING OUT FROM A
SLOWLY PROGRESSIVE LONG WAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE WESTERN PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY. THESE DISTURBANCES WILL INTERACT WITH A STALLED OUT
FRONTAL SYSTEM TO BRING PERIODS OF RAINFALL TO THE AREA THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MAIN DETAILS OF THE
FORECAST. FORECAST FOCUS CENTERS ON POPS.

TOUGH TO TIME THE INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES THAT WILL BE AFFECTING THE
AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...BUT THINK OVERALL THE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY GET HIGHER AS TIME GOES BY DUE TO THE
APPROACH OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH. PRECIPITABLE WATERS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN AT 150-200% OF NORMAL INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...SO THERE WILL BE
A PROLONGED HEAVY RAIN THREAT ACROSS THE AREA...WITH EACH
DISTURBANCE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL.

LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUGGEST THE GFS MOS HIGHS FOR SUNDAY MAY BE ON
THE WARM SIDE...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH. WILL NUDGE DOWN THE
GUIDANCE A FEW DEGREES AS A RESULT. GFS MOS LOWS THROUGH THE PERIOD
LOOKS REASONABLE AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY/...

ENSEMBLE DATA SUGGEST DEEP LONG WAVE TROUGH LOCATED OVER THE
PLAINS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM...WILL PUSH THROUGH THE
LOCAL AREA AROUND WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY...AND EVENTUALLY TOWARDS
THE EAST COAST BY NEXT FRIDAY. POTENTIAL FOR PERIODIC DISTURBANCES
TO EJECT OUT OF LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION CHANCES
RATHER HIGH THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE LONG TERM. POTENTIAL FOR A
SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM OVER THE MIDWEST TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK AS BULK OF LONG WAVE TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH. WILL KEEP
POPS GOING THROUGH THURSDAY. MAJORITY OF ENSEMBLES SUGGEST TROUGH
SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH EAST OF THE LOCAL AREA BY NEXT FRIDAY TO GO
DRY AND WILL GO THAT ROUTE FOR NOW...ALTHOUGH A FEW ENSEMBLES
SUGGEST SOME QPF POSSIBLE EVEN ON FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 23/12Z TAFS/...

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST THIS PACKAGE AS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES AND
ATTENDANT SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STALLING TO THE SOUTH OF THE SITES.

RANGE OF CONDITIONS FROM VFR NORTH TO IFR SOUTH NEAREST THE BOUNDARY
AT TAF TIME. AS THE BOUNDARY SINKS A BIT FURTHER SOUTH AND PRECIP
FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION CLEARS THE AREA...CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE TO VFR ALL SITES. SOME GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...GENERALLY 20KT OR LESS.

APPEARS THAT NEXT DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH
CONVECTION POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT BMG NEARER THE FRONT. DEALT WITH
THIS VIA VCTS/CB MENTION AT BMG...VCSH/CB MENTION AT HUF/IND...AND
EXCLUDED FROM LAF FOR NOW DUE TO LESSER PROXIMITY TO THE FOCUSING
BOUNDARY.

AS BOUNDARY INTENSIFIES AND SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA...MAY
SEE A DROP INTO MVFR/POSSIBLY IFR ALL SITES LATE IN THE PERIOD.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR INZ021-028>031-
