AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1235 PM EDT SUN MAY 15 2011

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN VIRTUALLY STATIONARY OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. PLUS...ADDITIONAL WAVES WILL
ROTATE AROUND THE LOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO RAIN THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. COOL TEMPS/BELOW NORMAL/WILL LINGER THROUGH NEXT WEEK DUE
TO THE NORTHERLY WINDS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

SHORT WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA
WITH AREAS OF RAIN AHEAD OF FEATURE. THIS TROUGH SHOULD CONTINUE
DROPPING SOUTH FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AS IT ROTATES AROUND UPPER
LOW. IN THE WAKE OF THIS TROUGH...RAINFALL EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE
SPOTTY IN NATURE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. SHORT RANGE MODELS SUGGEST
RAINFALL MAY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AGAIN TOWARDS THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS. WILL ADJUST THE CHARACTER OF THE PRECIPITATION TO
MORE OF AN OCCASIONAL NATURE TO REFLECT THE RELATIVE LULL IN THE
PRECIPITATION IN THE WAKE OF INITIAL SHORT WAVE.

NO OTHER CHANGES PLANNED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

UPPER LEVEL LOW SLOWLY PUSHES FURTHER EAST...ALLOWING DRIER AIR TO
FILTER INTO CENTRAL INDIANA ON THE BACK SIDE. AS A RESULT...ISENTROPIC
LIFT WILL BE CUT OFF FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA LATE THIS EVENING. SO...DROPPED POPS SLOWLY AFTER
MON 00Z...WENT WITH LIKELY UNTIL MON 06Z...AND THEN DOWN TO CHANCE
AFTER MON 06Z.

FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND TIME CROSS SECTIONS DRY OUT SUBSTANTIALLY
BY MON 12Z...AND DO NOT BECOME SATURATED AGAIN UNTIL TUESDAY
EVENING WHEN THE UPPER LEVEL LOW DRIFTS BACK INTO EASTERN INDIANA.
SO...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH RAINFALL IF ANY ON MONDAY.  STARTED
INTRODUCING POPS BACK INTO THE FORECAST FROM EAST TO WEST LATE
TUESDAY EVENING.

TEMPS...MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. SO...WENT WITH A
BLEND AND STUCK CLOSE TO GUIDANCE. ONLY EXCEPTION WAS TRENDING A
TAD ON THE WARMER SIDE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT DUE TO THE
CLOUD COVER.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

ECMWF AND GFS HAVE FINALLY COME TO SOME AGREEMENT WITH THE
DEPARTURE AND EVOLUTION OF THE PESKY UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO LINGERING IN THE
AREA ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. COOL...CYCLONIC NORTHERLY FLOW AROUND THE LOW
WILL AGAIN PRECIPITATE THE NEED FOR CHANCES OF RAIN...ALONG WITH
COOL TEMPERATURES.

BY FRIDAY...RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS BEGINS TO BUILD ACROSS
INDIANA AS THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEPART TO THE EAST COAST.
THIS SHOULD BRING ABOUT DRY WEATHER AS SUBSIDENCE AND DRY
NORTHERLY TO EAST FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE.

MODELS PUSH A WARM FRONT TOWARD INDIANA ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
SUPPORT ALOFT IS QUITE LIMITED AS THE RIDGING REMAINS IN PLACE.
EVEN SURFACE FEATURES SHOW THE BETTER SET UP ACROSS THE PLAINS
STATES NEAR THE SURFACE LOW. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH FOR A RAIN
EVENT AT THIS TIME...HOWEVER MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS POPS NEAR 50
PERCENT. THUS WILL TRIM POPS TO A LOW CHANCE CATEGORY FOR NOW. AS
FOR TEMPS EAST TO SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL RESULT
IN A PROGRESSIVE WARM UP. MEXMOS AND HPC HANDLE THIS NICELY AND
WILL STICK CLOSE.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 151800Z TAFS/...

VORTICITY LOBE CURRENTLY DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA
EXPECTED TO REACH THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE FORECAST AREA BY
160000Z...SO MORE ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH
ACROSS THE TAF SITES BY LATE AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH THE PRESENCE OF
THE UPPER LOW SUGGESTS THERE MAY BE SOME SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE
AROUND THROUGH 160600Z.

GENERALLY...IFR CEILINGS 006-009 AGL EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS...ALTHOUGH CEILINGS MAY BE
BRIEFLY HIGHER AT TIMES. MODEL DATA SUGGEST DRIER AIR MAY BEGIN
WORKING IN AT THE LOWER LEVELS AFTER 160000Z FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH...SO CEILINGS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY LIFT ABOVE IFR AFTER
THAT TIME.

PRESSURE GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN UP BY LATE AFTERNOON...SO SOME
SURFACE WIND GUSTS 20-25 KTS FROM 350-020 HEADINGS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
