AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
911 PM EST THU DEC 15 2011

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER IS IN STORE STARTING TONIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE PLAINS IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG COLD
FRONT THAT MOVED ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
IN ADDITION...IT SHOULD BE DRY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THEN...EXPECT A
RAINY PERIOD WITH POSSIBLY SNOW MIXED IN AT TIMES THROUGH MIDWEEK
WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THURSDAY AS A PAIR OF SYSTEMS
IMPACT THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...

THE MAIN CHALLENGE TO THE FORECAST TONIGHT WILL BE HOW MUCH IF ANY
CLEARING WE SEE ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED LOW TEMPERATURES. MODELS AGREE
ON HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE PLAINS BUILDING EAST ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT CURRENTLY ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA. VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP WAS CURRENTLY SHOWING
ONLY A FEW BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS OF CENTRAL
INDIANA WITH THICK CUMULUS FIELD ALL THE WAY UP INTO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES. MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR BUILDING
IN FROM MISSOURI AND THE PLAINS...HOWEVER MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE
HOLDING ON TO SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND ALSO REVEAL AN INVERSION
WHICH MANY TIMES CAN LEADING TO DELAYED CLEARING THIS TIME OF YEAR.
STILL...WITH MODELS SUGGESTING DECENT DRYING AND ADJACENT OFFICES
BUYING INTO IT...WILL GO WITH SOME BUT NOT COMPLETE CLEARING IN THE
SKY GRIDS. THIS TRANSLATES INTO SLIGHTLY MORE CLOUD COVER THAN THE
12Z ALLBLEND. THIS SCENARIO WOULD SUGGEST SIMILAR MOS LOOKS OK WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 20S NORTH TO LOWER 30S SOUTH. WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY WEAKEN TONIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES AWAY AND THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES. STILL LOOKS LIKE NORTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS
AND GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS THROUGH LATE EVENING BEFORE FALLING TO
AROUND 5 KNOTS TOWARDS DAYBREAK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE SHORT TERM AND SHOULD KEEP IT DRY
WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES THROUGH SATURDAY AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY AS THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS
EAST TO THE APPALACHIANS ALLOWING A SOUTHWESTERLY COMPONENT TO THE
WINDS. MODELS CONTINUE TO KEEP QPF SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER ON FRIDAY
AS A UPPER DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY ACROSS NEW MEXICO LIFTS NORTHEAST
AND ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER. SO...PREFER TO KEEP POPS OUT OF OUR SOUTH
FOR NOW...AND THIS MATCHES UP WELL WITH THE ADJACENT OFFICES.
OVERALL...MODELS ARE SIMILAR IN SURFACE AND UPPER FEATURES...AND SO
A BLEND LOOKS GOOD. COULD SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF HIGH CLOUDS ON FRIDAY
AHEAD OF THE UPPER WAVE AND MID AND HIGH CLOUDS ON SATURDAY. SIMILAR
BLEND LOOKS OK ON TEMPERATURES BASED ON LOW LEVEL THERMAL PROGS AND
EXPECTED CLOUD COVER.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY ON HOW AN UPPER LOW WILL EJECT OUT OF THE
SOUTHWESTERN STATES AND THEN MOVE ACROSS OUR AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
00Z ECMWF IS SLOWER THAN THE 12Z GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN. GIVEN
THE UNCERTAINTY...WILL STAY PRETTY CLOSE TO THE ALL-BLEND
INITIALIZATION FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST.

THUS CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN MONDAY AND NOW CONTINUE
INTO WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER CHANCES WEDNESDAY ARE SMALL AS THE SYSTEM
SHOULD STILL BE EXITING THE AREA AROUND THEN. LOOKS LIKE THE
PRECIPITATION WILL BE RAIN FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD...BUT AS COLD AIR
WORKS IN TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY THERE COULD BE A MIX OF RAIN
AND SNOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE A LITTLE ABOVE AVERAGE.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 16/03Z TAF UPDATE/...

UPDATE...
NO CHANGES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
LATEST WV/IR SAT IMAGERY IS SHOWING A PERSISTENT STRATOCU DECK
ACROSS TAF SITES. AS A RESULT...BACKED UP TIMING OF VFR CONDITIONS
BY A FEW HOURS...PROBABLY WON/T SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
UNTIL FRI 02-04Z. UNTIL THEN...MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE. WEST
WINDS ARE ALSO BEING PERSISTENT WITH GUSTS OUT TO 30 KTS...AND
SUSTAINED SPEEDS BETWEEN 14-18 KTS. THESE SHOULD FINALLY WEAKEN
OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

FURTHER OUT...AFTER VFR CONDITIONS RETURN...THEY WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH REMAINDER OF TAF PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO TAF
SITES. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY TONIGHT AND WILL RELAX TO 5 TO
8 KTS SUSTAINED.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
