AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
625 PM EDT SAT AUG 13 2011

.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BRING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  THE
PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH QUITE A BIT AFTER MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER THE
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL BRING SCATTERED
SHOWERS THROUGH SUNDAY ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHEAST SECTIONS.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BUILD ACROSS OUR REGION MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MAY AFFECT WESTERN
SECTIONS WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER BETTER CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE AROUND THURSDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH AND WEAK COLD FRONT MOVE
THROUGH. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK ACROSS OUR REGION FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...

THUNDERSTORMS WERE INCREASING ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT AND WITH CAPES OF 2000 TO 3000 J/KG AND VERY LITTLE
CAP...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE RULE.  SPC
CURRENTLY HAS OUR FAR NORTH IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AND THIS
MAY BE EXTENDED SOUTHEAST AS THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS
DEVELOP FARTHER SOUTH.

SREF INDICATES THE WORST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR DURING THE
21Z-00Z TIME FRAME AND MAY BEGIN WIND DOWN AFTER THAT.  WILL START
OUT EASTERN SECTIONS WITH LIKELY POPS AND SCATTERED ELSEWHERE. RAPID
REFRESH INDICATES A COUPLE OF LINES OF STORMS WILL BE ACROSS OUR
AREA AROUND 00Z...BUT ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH QUITE A BIT BY
MIDNIGHT. THUS WILL USE SPLIT POPS OVERNIGHT WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS MOST AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT EXCEPT CHANCE POPS STILL IN THE EAST.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED...MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW QUITE A
BIT OF CLOUD COVER ACROSS OUR EAST AND NORTH LATER TONIGHT AND THIS
MAY HOLD UP TEMPERATURES A LITTLE. WILL GO NEAR A MAV/MET BLEND ON
TEMPERATURES WEST WHERE SOME CLEARING MAY OCCUR LATER TONIGHT AND A
LITTLE WARMER ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

FORECAST CHALLENGES FOCUS ON CONTINUED CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION
SUNDAY AND EARLY SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE EAST.  WENT WITH A BLEND
WITH MOST MODEL AND MODEL GUIDANCE. THE COLD FRONT WILL BE TO OUR
EAST...BUT A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
WILL STILL IMPACT OUR WEATHER SUNDAY. TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS
ALSO SHOW QUITE A BIT OF CLOUDINESS WILL BE ACROSS OUR NORTHERN AND
EASTERN SECTIONS SUNDAY...WHILE SOME SUNSHINE WILL OCCUR SOUTHWEST.

THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE TO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS BY MONDAY AND
WELL TO OUR EAST BY TUESDAY. BY THAT TIME A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL
BE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS.  EARLIER SOME MODELS
INDICATED AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING OVER THE TOP OF THE
UPPER RIDGE MIGHT AFFECT BY BY TUESDAY.  BUT MODEL CONSENSUS STILL
KEEPS US DRY MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

WENT NEAR A MOS BLEND ON TEMPERATURES SUNDAY AND MONDAY...EXCEPT A
LITTLE WARMER WEST MONDAY AND ALL AREAS TUESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM/TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE JUST TO OUR EAST WILL STILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER
TUESDAY NIGHT. MODELS MOVE AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE INTO THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY LATE WEDNESDAY.
WILL CONTINUE LOW THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ACROSS OUR WEST WEDNESDAY.  A
WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO OUR REGION AROUND THURSDAY KEEPING US
WITH A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BUILD ACROSS OUR REGION
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND MOST MODELS SHOW US DRY BY THEN.  THUS
DOWNPLAYED HPC POPS FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. DID NOT MAKE ANY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO HPC TEMPERATURES IN THE EXTENDED.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 140000Z TAFS/...

BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION ACROSS EASTERN ILLINOIS HAS THE SUPPORT OF
A SURFACE COLD FRONT AND AN UPPER WAVE...SO EXPECTING THIS LINE TO
HOLD TOGETHER FOR THE MOST PART AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA.
AS A RESULT...CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN THE VICINITY OF THE TAF SITES
IS QUITE HIGH THIS EVENING. APPEARS UPPER WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
CONVECTION WILL PASS SOUTHEAST OF THE TAF SITES AROUND 140500Z...SO
CONVECTIVE THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH BY THAT TIME. BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO ABOUT 35 KTS PROBABLE IN THE
HEAVIER CELLS.

OTHERWISE...IN THE WAKE OF CONVECTION/FRONTAL PASSAGE...APPEARS
THERE IS GOOD POTENTIAL FOR LOW MVFR...OR POSSIBLY IFR...CEILINGS TO
DEVELOP TOWARDS SUNRISE ON SUNDAY...AFTER 141000Z OR SO.
