AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
357 PM EDT WED MAR 23 2011

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...LOW PRESSURE CENTER HAS MOVED TO THE EAST AND IS GETTING OVER INTO
WESTERN OHIO AND FRONT/DRYLINE HAS MOVED THROUGH WITH IT. DEW POINTS
HAVE DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY /INTO THE 30S/ AND THIS SHOULD QUELL
SEVERE POTENTIAL. STILL SEEING SOME CU DEVELOPMENT ON VISIBLE
SATELLITE BUT AT THIS POINT SEVERE REDEVELOPMENT SEEMS UNLIKELY THIS
AFTERNOON. TRUE COLD FRONT /AS IN THE ONE CONTAINING THE COLD AIR/
IS STILL HANGING BACK OVER ILLINOIS AND WILL MOVE THROUGH DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...PLUNGING TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE 20S AND 30S AS
IT PASSES AND KEEPING LOWER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERA TUES THROUGH THE
EXTENDED. AFTER THIS DRY AND COLDER WEATHER WILL MOVE IN FOR
THURSDAY BEFORE A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES MOVE THROUGH BRINGING
PERIODIC CHANCES FOR RAIN OR SNOW TO THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT/...
COULD SEE SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AS SATELLITE
IS SHOWING SOME CU IN THE POST FRONTAL AREA SO WILL INCLUDE SOME
CHANCES FOR THUNDER FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. AT THIS POINT THOUGH WITH
THE MUCH DRIER AIR AT THE SURFACE DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE ANYTHING
SEVERE. COLD AIR WILL MOVE IN TONIGHT AND SHUT OFF CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AS IT DOES. DRY AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE IN ALONG WITH SOME
MORE SURFACE MOISTURE AND SOUNDINGS LOOK LIKE DRIZZLE IS A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE COLD AIR THIS COULD CHANGE OVER
TO FREEZING DRIZZLE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
WITH WARM ROADS DO NOT EXPECT IT TO STICK OR HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT
ON TRAVEL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT SO WILL USE A CONSENSUS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN ON THURSDAY AND WILL CLEAR OUT THE CLOUD COVER DURING THE
DAY. STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE
UPPER 30S TO MIDDLE 40S WHICH WILL SEEM PARTICULARLY COLD
CONSIDERING THE WARM UP WE/VE HAD RECENTLY. THURSDAY NIGHT WILL SEE
AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER DURING THE NIGHT AS SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT
APPROACHES FOR FRIDAY. STARTED POPS ON FRIDAY WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE SOUTHWEST AND INCREASED THIS TO CHANCE
EVERYWHERE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE BORDERLINE SO AT THIS
TIME WILL KEEP A RAIN OR SNOW OPTION GOING ACROSS THE NORTH WITH
RAIN IN THE SOUTH. TEMPERATURES AGAIN WILL BE BELOW CLIMO WITH HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S AND LOWS IN THE 20S AND 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HPC GUIDANCE LOOKS GOOD GIVEN VARIABILITY IN THE EXTENDED. LOOKS
LIKE CENTRAL INDIANA WILL BE RUNNING COOLER THAN AVERAGE FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR WITH A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH...WITH
TEMPERATURES AND THICKNESSES BORDERLINE SO FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD
INCLUDED A CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW.

&&

.AVIATION.../FOR 231800Z TAFS/...

LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH BOTH OVER AREA
AT 18Z. FRONT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EAST OF INDIANA BY LATE
