Area forecast discussion, May 25, 12:59 PM EDT, 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1259 PM EDT WED MAY 25 2011

.UPDATE...
THE NEAR TERM AND SHORT TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW

&&

.MESO UPDATE...
MORNING COMPOSITE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WARM FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM A
CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY NEAR KHUF SWWD TO NE OF KSDF.  A SECOND LOW
LEVEL JET OF 45-55 KT EXTENDS FROM KLIT NEWD TO KEVV...WITH 40-45 KT
FLOW FROM MID TN NWD INTO INDIANA.  OVER THIS IS SWLY MID LEVEL  OF
FLOW OF 70 KT FROM CENTRAL OK INTO WRN KY AND AN UPPER LEVEL JET OF
90 KT FROM SRN OK INTO NWRN KY PLACING AN AREA OF DIFFLUENT FLOW
ALOFT OVER THE SWRN QUARTER OF INDIANA THAT WILL ENHANCE LIFT AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA TOWARDS MID AFTERNOON.  AIR MASS IS
DESTABILIZING OVER SRN INDIANA AS TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE LOW 80S
AND DEW POINTS ARE IN THE UPPER 60S.  COMBINE THIS WITH THE SHEAR
THAT IS PRESENT WILL BE INCREASING  THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE STORMS
AND THE THREAT OF TORNADOES FROM S AND SW OF A LINE FROM KHUF - KIND
- KSDF. AREAS SOUTH OF I-70 AND SW OF I-74 SHOULD KEEP ABREAST OF
THE WEATHER SITUATION TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST ACROSS INDIANA FROM
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. EARLY IN THE WEEKEND THE WEATHER WILL BE
CONTROLLED BY HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR EAST AND A WARM FRONT TO THE
OUR NORTH. LATE IN THE WEEKEND THE WARM FRONT WILL PULL AWAY
LEAVING THE HIGH PRESSURE TO DOMINATE INDIANA WEATHER INTO MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...

SEVERE OBVIOUS PROBLEM OVERNIGHT.

EVERYTHING...SPC...MODELS...ETC AGREES SYSTEM NOW OVER MISSOURI
ON SATELLITE TO BE MOST SIGNIFICANT PLAYER THIS EVENT. THREAT OF
EVERYTHING UP TO AND INCLUDING TORNADOES CONTINUING INTO EARLY
TONIGHT...THEN FALLING OFF AS MAIN DYNAMICS PUSH EAST.

HEAVY RAIN HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS SYSTEM. NEEDS TO BE
MENTIONED...BUT CANT FIND A FOCUSING MECHANISM THAT WOULD CALL FOR
A FLOOD WATCH.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE EXTREMELY DEPENDENT ON LOCATION OF LOW AT
12Z. DONT FEEL I CAN OUT PERFORM MOS...WHICH IS CLOSE...BUT
UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

MAIN PROBLEM POPS

MODELS ARE CLOSE WITH STACKED SYSTEM OVER AREA INTO AT LEAST
THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS SUPPORTS WETTER MET.

FORECAST LOWER 60S BY DAWN. GIVEN THAT TOUGH TIME WITH NEAR 70
THURSDAY WITH A WET FORECAST. WILL DROP MOS ABOUT A CATEGORY.
GOING UP A CATEGORY THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH NEARBY LOW CLOUDS SHOULD
BLOCK COOLING.

FOR FRIDAY LIKE THE WARMER MAV. BOTH MODELS AGREE WE SHOULD SEE
ENOUGH DRY AIR WORK IN FOR SOME SUN. IN MAY THAT OUGHT GET US AT
LEAST CLOSE TO 70. SINCE LIKE WARMER MAV FRIDAY...WILL USE WARMER
MAV FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

FEW CHANGES TO HPC WITH MAIN MODELS IN ROUGH AGREEMENT.

THIS MEANS RAIN CHANCES INTO SATURDAY BUT FALLING OFF SATURDAY
NIGHT AS WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH. THEN DRY AS RIDGE BUILDS IN SUNDAY
INTO TUESDAY...WITH CHANCE STORMS RETURNING TUESDAY NIGHT OR
WEDNESDAY AS FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE NORTHWEST.

HPC REALLY BROUGHT UP THE TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS AFTER THE
WARM FRONT PASSES. I AGREE BASED ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THESE
SOUTHWEST FLOW SITUATIONS. ALSO WET GROUND SHOULD HAVE STRONG
EFFECT ON DEWPOINTS.

&&

.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.
