AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
702 AM EDT WED MAY 25 2011

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
A POTENT STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY AND
TONIGHT...AND THEN LINGER THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BRING WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING. AS THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS ON THURSDAY...MAINLY
RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED. A WEAK SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH ON SATURDAY
WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAIN...BUT THE REMAINDER OF MEMORIAL DAY
WEEKEND SHOULD BE DRY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...

FOCUS IS ON THUNDERSTORMS AND CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER. MODELS
ARE SIMILAR FOR THE MOST PART...SO USED A BLEND.

LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS IOWA DOWN THROUGH ARKANSAS AT THE
MOMENT WILL CONTINUE TO SWING NORTH AND EAST THIS MORNING. DIURNAL
TRENDS WOULD SUGGEST A WEAKENING OF THE LINE AS IT MOVES
EAST...AND THE HI RES RAPID REFRESH MODEL SUPPORTS THIS THINKING.
THUS FEEL CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL LOWER THIS MORNING...BUT
THEY WILL NOT BE NONEXISTANT.

WILL GO LIKELY POPS WEST AND CHANCE EAST EARLY THIS MORNING AS THE
LINE MOVES IN...THEN KEEP IT SIMPLE AND GO LIKELY POPS ALL AREAS
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. MOST LIKELY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS
FIRST LINE WILL WORK ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING PERHAPS
INTO EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN A LULL WITH SCATTERED CONVECT ON...THEN
A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

THIS SCENARIO WOULD LEAD TO INSTABILITY BUILDING AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON WITH PERHAPS SOME FILTERED SUNSHINE. SHEAR WILL INCREASE
THIS AFTERNOON...AND A MID-LEVEL JET WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. SPC SREF MODEL SHOWS BEST INGREDIENTS FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL MOVE INTO OUR AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EVENING. THUS SPC/S MODERATE RISK LOOKS GOOD FOR LATER TODAY.

WITH THE HIGHEST THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON...WILL
PUT SEVERE WORDING IN THEN.

MAV LOOKS REASONABLE FOR HIGHS TODAY GIVEN ALL OF THE ABOVE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

FOCUS IS ON SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING AND THEN ON CHANCES FOR
RAIN THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

12Z ECMWF LOOKS A BIT SLOW COMPARED TO ALL OTHER MODELS...SO WILL
TREND TOWARD MODEL CONSENSUS IN THE FASTER SOLUTION.

ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS NOTED IN THE NEAR TERM SECTION WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING WITH GOOD INSTABILITY AND SHEAR. EXPECT
A SQUALL LINE TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING. WILL
GO CATEGORICAL POPS ALL AREAS. THE SEVERE PARAMETERS WILL CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND TORNADOES.

THERE MAY BE A BREAK IN THE RAIN LATER TONIGHT BEFORE RAIN RETURNS
WITH THE UPPER LOW MOVING INTO THE AREA. WITH ALL THAT/S GOING
ON...WILL NOT GET CUTE WITH TIMING AND KEEP THE CATEGORICAL POPS
THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THE UPPER LOW WILL STILL HAVE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AS IT MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY...SO CONTINUED WITH CATEGORICAL POPS.
INSTABILITY WILL BE MUCH LESS THAN TODAY...BUT THERE WILL STILL BE
ENOUGH TO MENTION THUNDER.

THE UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT
SO LOWERED POPS MOST AREAS TO CHANCE CATEGORY.

GENERALLY WENT WITH A BLEND OF MOS FOR TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS...A BLEND BEING USED...ALL APPEAR TO DRY THINGS OUT FOR
FRIDAY. PERHAPS SOME POST SUNRISE SHOWERS STILL AROUND IN EASTERN
COUNTIES AS SYSTEM FINALLY LIFTS INTO NEW ENGLAND. UNDER
INFLUENCE OF COOLER AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE...HIGH TEMPERATURES IN
THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S APPEAR REASONABLE.

HAVE CONTINUED CURRENT FORECAST OF STORM THREAT SATURDAY AS
DEPICTED BY THE MODELS AS SHORTWAVE SWEEPS THROUGH WEST SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT. THIS IS BEGINNING PROCESS OF DEEPENING TROF OVER
WESTERN US AND RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS EASTERN US WHICH RESULTS IN
VERY SUMMER LIKE PATTERN WHICH BEGINS ON SUNDAY. AGAIN WEAK SHORT
WAVES MOVES THROUGH SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BE FIRING CLUSTERS OF
STORMS BUT RIDGING APPEARS STRONG ENOUGH THAT AFTER
SATURDAY...RAINS SHOULD SHIFT NORTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES. AS TIME
WEARS ON AND RIDGE BUILDS FURTHER...NORTHWEST FLOW STORMS COULD
BECOME AN ISSUE...BUT THATS BEYOND RANGE OF THIS FORECAST.

WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS...AND SURFACE FRONT PUSHING BACK NORTH ON
SATURDAY...THE ONE DAY RESPITE IN WARMTH AND HUMIDITY WILL BE
LIMITED TO FRIDAY. A BLEND OF DATA SOURCES RESULTS IN LOWS BACK IN
THE 60S AND HIGHS IN THE 80S FROM SUNDAY ONWARD. HINTS AT
TEMPERATURES NEAR 90 EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT FEEL VERY MOIST GROUND
SHOULD KEEP US IN UPPER 80S.

&&

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

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THE FIRST PARTS OF THE TAF PERIOD.
BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH TSRA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN EARLY
ON THURSDAY MORNING.

DEEP LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO PUSH TOWARD THE
OHIO VALLEY TODAY. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE
WARM SECTOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS MODELS DEPICT A 40 KNT
LLJ APPROACHING OVER THE WARM AND MOIST AIR MASS. PRECISE TIMING
IS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME THUS WILL PAINT A WINDOW OF VCTS
MAINLY DURING AFTER 20Z THROUGH ABOUT 03Z. LATER ISSUANCES SHOULD
HAVE A BETTER HANDLING ON TIMING...BUT FOR NOW THIS APPEARS TO BE
THE BEST WINDOW BASED UPON THE RAPID REFRESH...DAYTIME HEATING AND
MODEL SUGGESTED LLJ INTERACTION.

AS THE LOW REACHES CENTRAL INDIANA OVERNIGHT...EXTENSIVE MVFR
CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN. TIME HEIGHTS SHOW EXTENSIVE LOWER
LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERING.

&&

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

...SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY INFORMATION...

SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED IN CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY. TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE YOUR SAFETY PLAN AT WORK AND IN THE HOME.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OR TORNADO WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OR TORNADOES.
BE AWARE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT...AND STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER
RADIO...OR YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET...FOR POSSIBLE
WATCHES...WARNINGS OR STATEMENTS.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OR TORNADO WARNING...USUALLY ISSUED FOR
PORTIONS OF ONE OR MORE COUNTIES AT A TIME...MEANS THAT SEVERE
WEATHER OR A TORNADO IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. THOSE IN THE PATH OF
THE STORM MUST SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY IN A STURDY STRUCTURE...AWAY
FROM WINDOWS...AND BELOW GROUND IF POSSIBLE.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND
OCCASIONALLY DO PRODUCE TORNADOES WITH LITTLE OR NO ADVANCE
WARNING. IF YOU HEAR OR SEE A TORNADO...OR IF YOU FEEL
THREATENED...MOVE IMMEDIATELY TO SHELTER. SECONDS CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE.

KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN A TORNADO THREATENS. FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE
SAFETY RULES.

IN A HOME OR SMALL BUILDING...GO TO THE BASEMENT OR TO AN INTERIOR
ROOM...SUCH AS A CLOSET OR BATHROOM...ON THE LOWEST FLOOR POSSIBLE.
GET UNDER A STURDY TABLE OR BED...OR CROUCH LOW AND COVER YOUR HEAD
WITH YOUR HANDS.

IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES...ABANDON THEM AND GO TO A STURDY
STRUCTURE. IF THERE IS NO SUCH SHELTER NEARBY...LIE FLAT IN A
DITCH...RAVINE...CULVERT...OR OTHER LOW SPOT...AND SHIELD YOUR HEAD
WITH YOUR HANDS. NEVER TAKE SHELTER UNDER A HIGHWAY OVERPASS.
OVERPASSES CREATE A DEADLY WIND TUNNEL EFFECT...WHICH WILL PULL YOU
OUT FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE.

IN LARGE BUILDINGS SUCH AS SCHOOLS...FACTORIES...HOSPITALS...
NURSING HOMES...AND SHOPPING CENTERS...GO TO THE PREDESIGNATED
SHELTER AREA. INTERIOR HALLWAYS ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OFFER THE MOST
PROTECTION. AVOID AREAS WITH LARGE SPAN ROOFS...AS THESE ROOFS ARE
WEAK AND PRONE TO FAILURE.

IN HIGH RISE BUILDINGS...GO TO A SMALL INTERIOR ROOM OR HALLWAY...
AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS...DO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE THEM. IT WILL NOT
INCREASE OR DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE...AND YOU WILL
WASTE VALUABLE TIME AND PUT YOUR LIFE AT RISK FROM FLYING DEBRIS.
REMEMBER...FLYING DEBRIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS HAZARD FROM
TORNADOES.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN ALSO CAUSE CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE FROM HAIL OR
WIND...AND CAN BE DEADLY. IF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IS
ISSUED...MOVE TO A PLACE OF SAFETY...JUST AS YOU WOULD DURING A
TORNADO WARNING. HAVE A WEATHER RADIO...RADIO...OR TELEVISION NEARBY
TO STAY ALERT OF ANY CHANGES TO THE WEATHER SITUATION.
