AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1030 AM EST WED FEB 23 2011

.UPDATE...

THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST TODAY WITH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY
DROPPING INTO CENTRAL INDIANA TONIGHT WITH RAIN DEVELOPING. THE
FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER ON THURSDAY AS A
STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ALONG IT THURSDAY NIGHT.
THIS WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH
RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70 AS COLDER AIR
FILTERS IN NORTH OF THE FRONT. DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN BRIEFLY
FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE...BUT ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION
WILL EXIST OVER THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES PASS THROUGH
THE REGION. YET ANOTHER STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS POISED TO
IMPACT THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

MAIN CHANGE FOR THIS UPDATE IS TO LOWER MAX TEMPS ACROSS THE BOARD
AN AVERAGE OF 3-4 DEGREES AND ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SLEET OR SNOW
TO A SMALL CORRIDOR OF WEST CENTRAL INDIANA.

NARROW AND WEAKENING BAND OF MAINLY SLEET NOTED FROM JUST NORTH OF
ST LOUIS TO WEST OF TERRE HAUTE ON 88D MOSAIC. THIS IS ASSOCIATED
WITH A WEAK AREA OF ISENTROPIC LIFT. THIS BAND MAY MAKE IT INTO
THE FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND MAY PRODUCE
SLEET...OR PERHAPS SNOW AS DRIER AIR IN PLACE MAY ALLOW COOLING TO
PROMOTE A CHANGEOVER TO A FEW FLURRIES. NO ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED...AND THE BAND SHOULD BE LARGELY DISSIPATED BY EARLY
AFTERNOON.

OTHERWISE...WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER SHOWS LITTLE SIGN OF ABATING
TODAY...AS MIDLEVEL CLOUD HAS MOVED INTO THE AREA...CONTINUING
CLOUDY SKIES EVEN IN AREAS WHERE LOWER STRATUS HAS MANAGED TO
ERODE THIS MORNING. THIS WILL SEVERELY HAMPER DIURNAL
WARMING...AND HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPS A FEW DEGREES AS A RESULT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

FORECAST CHALLENGES FOCUS ON COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM TO MOVE THROUGH
THE OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...BRINGING THE POTENTIAL
FOR HEAVY RAIN OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES...AND A CHANGEOVER FROM RAIN
TO SNOW FURTHER NORTH WITH SOME ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE VERY SIMILAR ON TIMING WITH VARIATIONS COMING
IN THE TRACK. ECMWF REMAINS FURTHER NORTH WITH TRACK OF THE LOW
RIGHT ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. NAM/SREF AND A NUMBER OF THE GFS
ENSEMBLE MEMBERS TRACK THE LOW THROUGH KENTUCKY...WHILE THE OP GFS
AND GGEM BOTH REMAIN ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE GUIDANCE WITH THE
LOW TRACKING THROUGH THE NORTHERN TENNESSEE VALLEY. FEEL A BLEND IS
THE BEST APPROACH AT THIS POINT IN TIME UNTIL BETTER AGREEMENT WITH
RESPECT TO TRACK CAN BE REACHED. THIS WOULD BE CLOSEST IN LINE TO
THE NAM/SREF/GFS ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS.

INITIALLY...WARM ADVECTION AND INCREASING ISENTROPIC LIFT TONIGHT
AHEAD OF A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL ALLOW FOR AN EXPANSION OF RAIN
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. BEST LIFT REALLY DOES NOT GET GOING UNTIL
AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH DEEPER MOISTURE ARRIVING ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA
FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT. HAVE INCREASED TO LIKELY POPS
AFTER 06Z ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WITH CATEGORICAL POPS OVER
FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS BEST LIFT AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALIGNS
ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS IT SAGS TOWARDS THE OHIO RIVER.

BOUNDARY WILL ALIGN JUST SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER THURSDAY AS THE
LEAD SHOT OF WARM ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT SHIFT OFF TO THE
EAST. MAIN SURFACE WAVE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS THURSDAY MORNING AND LIFT NORTHEAST ALONG IT THROUGH
THE DAY. MEANWHILE...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDING SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE PLAINS AND INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. APPEARS
PRESENCE OF THE HIGH WILL SERVE TO ADVECT DRIER AIR INTO THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH
RAIN BEING CONFINED TO AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70 IN CLOSER
PROXIMITY TO THE FORCING ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER KENTUCKY. A
RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER MAY MANAGE TO WORK IN FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY NOTED...BUT MAIN
THUNDERSTORM CONCERN AT THIS POINT APPEARS TO BE JUST SOUTH OF THE
REGION IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT. WILL CONTINUE WITH NO
MENTION OF THUNDER AT THIS TIME.

THINGS BEGIN TO GET INTERESTING THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE DEEPENING
SURFACE WAVE TRACKS ALONG THE FRONT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. 70+KT
850MB LOW LEVEL JET NOSES ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS IN ADVANCE OF THE LOW. THIS GENERATES AN AXIS OF STRONG LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES THURSDAY NIGHT WITH
INCREASING MID LEVEL DEFORMATION TO THE NORTH OF THE LOW PRESSURE
TRACK. MID AND UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE IS EXCELLENT AS THE LOW AND
TRAILING UPPER TROUGH APPROACH...AND STRENGTH OF THE LOW LEVEL JET
WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PUSH DEEP GULF MOISTURE INTO THE FORECAST
AREA. THESE FEATURES WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION THURSDAY NIGHT...OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 70 WHERE PRECIPITATION WILL BE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL RISE TO BETWEEN 1 AND 1.25 INCHES
OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES. HAVE RAISED POPS TO CATEGORICAL WITH
POTENTIAL FOR 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAINFALL THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL IN THE ESF AND HWO.

SECOND ASPECT OF THE PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM THURSDAY NIGHT IS THE
PRESENCE OF COLDER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH AS
THE NIGHT PROGRESSES...WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATING THE LOWER
LEVELS BECOMING SUFFICIENT FOR SNOWFALL. THE TRACK OF THE LOW WILL
ULTIMATELY DETERMINE HOW FAR SOUTH THE RAIN/SNOW LINE GOES LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT AT THIS POINT ANALYSIS OF BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPERATURES/THICKNESSES WOULD SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW TO
MAKE IT TO AROUND OR JUST SOUTH OF THE I-70 CORRIDOR AFTER 06Z
FRIDAY MORNING. THE BEST LIFT AND MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER CENTRAL
INDIANA UNTIL CLOSE TO DAYBREAK FRIDAY...WITH THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS
NOT COMPLETELY CLEARING THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL LATE MORNING FRIDAY.

AT THIS POINT WITH THE MODEL GUIDANCE CONSENSUS SHIFTING SOUTH FROM
PREVIOUS RUNS...APPEARS POTENTIAL DOES EXIST FOR ACCUMULATING WET
SNOW FROM I-70 NORTH EARLY FRIDAY IN A 4-8 HOUR WINDOW. AXIS OF
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE TIGHT AND DEPENDENT ON THE SPECIFIC TRACK OF
THE LOW. ANY SUBTLE SHIFT IN TRACK WILL CAUSE THE HIGHER SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS TO SHIFT AS WELL. AT THIS TIME...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3
INCHES SEEM REASONABLE ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70...WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF AMOUNTS NEAR 4 INCHES IN A SWATH FROM KOKOMO EAST
THROUGH MUNCIE. THESE AMOUNTS WOULD SUPPORT AN ADVISORY...ESPECIALLY
OVER NORTHERN COUNTIES. WITH THE IMPACTS STILL BEYOND 36 HOURS...
WILL NOT BE ISSUING ANY HEADLINES RIGHT NOW. WILL CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL IN THE HWO.

LIGHT PRECIP WILL END FRIDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS EAST AND
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO CENTRAL INDIANA. CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER DISTURBANCE
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

TEMPS...GENERALLY LEANED TOWARDS WARMER METMOS GUIDANCE TONIGHT WITH
WARM ADVECTION IN PLACE. GENERALLY TOOK A SPLIT OF THE MAV AND MET
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW PRESSURE TRACK WILL BE
CRITICAL IN DETERMINING THE EVENTUAL TEMPERATURES. NEAR MAVMOS FROM
FRIDAY ON.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

LITTLE EXPECTATION OF BEING ABLE TO IMPROVE HPC GUIDANCE AND DID
NOT CHANGE IT MUCH.

ALSO NOTEWORTHY...THE UNCERTAINTY MEANS SEVERAL KINDS OF
PRECIPITATION ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO ADD PRECISION LATER...BUT FOR NOW A BROAD BRUSH OF RAIN OR SNOW
IS AS REPRESENTATIVE AS WE CAN GET. BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT SEEMS
TO BE A CONSENSUS WE WILL BE WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 231200Z TAFS/...

BACK EDGE OF AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 020 HAS BEEN SLOWLY
PROGRESSING NORTHEAST OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. EXTRAPOLATION
SUGGESTS THESE CEILINGS SHOULD SCATTER OUT ACROSS THE TAF SITES BY
231800Z.

COULD SEE SOME LOCAL MAINLY MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS THROUGH
THE MID MORNING HOURS IN AREAS THAT HAVE CLEARED OUT. SURFACE
WINDS BELOW 15 KTS THROUGH 240000Z.
