AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
413 AM EDT SAT APR 16 2011

.SHORT-TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT

SHOWERS...DRIZZLE...AND OVERCAST SKIES CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY AS AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW NOW OVER THE MIDDLE MS VALLEY WILL OPEN UP AND PIVOT
INTO THE GREAT LAKES. THIS OCCLUDED SYSTEM IS PRODUCING SEVERAL
AREAS OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION. THE MOST IMPRESSIVE BAND OF
SHOWERS IS CURRENTLY ALIGNED NW TO SE ACROSS OUR CWA...AND IS
ASSOCIATED WITH MODEST THETA-E ADVECTION WITHIN A 50-60 KNOT LOW
LEVEL JET CORE JUST AHEAD AND ALONG A SFC OCCLUDED FRONT.
SATELLITE/RADAR TRENDS AND LATEST 3KM HRRR PROGS INDICATE THAT
THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE EXITING THE FA TO THE ENE BTW 10-12Z.
CHANCES FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS THIS MORNING ARE TIED TO TWO VORT
MAXES PINWHEELING AROUND THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW. LATEST
WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS ONE SUCH VORT MAX OVER CENTRAL IL AND
ANOTHER BACK ACROSS WEST CENTRAL MO. EACH VORT MAX FEATURES AN
AREA OF RAIN AND WOULD EXPECT THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP TO BE
ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA LATE THIS MORNING AS BOTH
FEATURES TRACK THIS WAY. HOWEVER...BETTER CHANCES FOR MORE
ORGANIZED SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING AS A WEAKENING MID LVL DEFORMATION AXIS ROTATES THROUGH
ALONG WITH A SECONDARY SFC TROUGH. MADE ONLY MINOR TWEAKS TO
POPS/WX TODAY...BUT DID BUMP UP TEMPS A BIT IN THE EAST DUE TO A
WARMER START AND LITTLE THERMAL ADVECTION BEHIND THE INITIAL SFC
OCCLUDED FRONT. OTHERWISE...IT WILL BE ANOTHER BREEZY DAY...WITH
WINDS PICKING UP THIS AFTERNOON PER DEEPER MIXING IN A CAA REGIME.

COLDER AND DRIER AIR WILL ADVECT IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING TROUGH AXIS
TONIGHT...RESULTING IN AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING AND LOWS INTO THE
30S. OPTED TO REMAIN ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE FOR LOWS GIVEN A LINGERING
SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH WINDS 10-20 KNOTS. HEIGHT RISES IN DE-
AMPLIFYING FLOW SHOULD RESULT IN A DRY...YET SLIGHTLY COOL SPRING
DAY ON SUNDAY. DEEP STACKED LOW WILL STILL BE NEAR THE
QUEBEC/ONTARIO BORDER ON SUNDAY...WHICH WILL SUPPORT CONTINUED
BREEZY CONDITIONS IN THE EAST GIVEN EXPECTED DEEP MIXING. MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW A LOW AMPLITUDE MID LEVEL IMPULSE PROPAGATING EWD
THROUGH THE NRN OH VALLEY/SRN GREAT LAKES SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS VERY
WEAK FEATURE WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW LEVEL
JET...WHICH WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A TIGHTENING WEST TO EAST
BAROCLINIC ZONE OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE FA. CONTINUED WITH CHC
POPS SUNDAY NIGHT...HIGHEST IN THE SOUTH...TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
ABOVE MENTIONED FORCING.

&&

.LONG TERM...
A WK SHRTWV WILL MOVE EAST IN ZONAL FLOW OUT OF THE CWA AT START OF
THE LONG TERM PERIOD MONDAY MORNING WHILE A STRONGER SHRTWV DIGS
INTO WRN U.S. DURING THE DAY. WRN SHRTWV SHOULD RESULT IN
STRENGTHENING OF SFC LOW OVER ERN CO AND WARM FRONT EXTENDING TO ITS
EAST... WITH BACKING H85 WINDS SOUTH OF THE FRONT AND INCREASING
THETA-E ADVECTION ALONG AND AHEAD OF IT. GIVEN POTENTIAL FOR SOME
LINGERING SHOWERS EARLY AND PSBL DVLPG OVER-RUNNING LATER... WILL
ADD A LOW POP/SMALL QPF TO FCST FOR THIS PERIOD. LLJ WILL STRENGTHEN
OVER THE SRN PLAINS/MID MS VALLEY MON NGT AS THE LOW MOVES EAST
ACROSS KS LIKELY RESULTING IN OVER-RUNNING SHOWERS/TSTMS SPREADING
INTO OUR CWA WITH SOME SHOWERS/TSTMS THEN LIKELY TO PERSIST IN THE
AREA THROUGH TUE NGT AS THE LOW LIFTS NE INTO THE GRTLKS. SOME
POTENTIAL FOR SVR IN OUR AREA DURING THIS TIMEFRAME AS WARM/MOIST
SURGE AHEAD OF THE LOW SHOULD DESTABILIZE AIRMASS WITH WIND FIELDS
SUPPORTING STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR... BUT GIVEN RATHER SGFNT
DIFFERENCES IN TRACK/SPEED OF LOW IN 00Z MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE WILL
HOLD OFF MENTIONING IN HWO FOR NOW. SOME SHOWERS MAY LINGER OVER THE
AREA WED AS FRONT MOVES TO THE EAST IN THE MORNING WITH COOLER DRIER
AIRMASS AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN ALLOWING SKIES TO CLEAR
WED NGT.

SEASONABLE TEMPS EXPECTED MONDAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 50S.
WITH WARM FRONT MOVG INTO THE AREA TUE... A TIGHT TEMP GRADIENT
EXPECTED WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S NORTH AND 70S SOUTH. TEMPS SHOULD
FALL BACK TO NEAR NORMAL BEHIND THE CDFNT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
SYSTEM WED NGT-THU.

NO CHANGES TO DAYS6-7 OF FCST ATTM... THOUGH LATEST MODEL RUNS
SUGGESTING ANOTHER SGFNT SHRTWV COULD IMPACT THE AREA BY THE END OF
THE FCST PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION.../06Z TAFS/

COMPLICATED/LOW CONFIDENCE FCST EARLY THIS MORNING WITH VARIABLE
FLIGHT CONDITIONS EXPECTED ALONG A SFC OCCLUDED FRONT THAT WILL
BE SWEEPING THROUGH THE FA. NARROW BAND OF HEAVY SHOWERS WILL
LIKELY MOVE THROUGH SBN AND FWA IN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS...WITH A
PERIOD OF MVFR AND POTENTIALLY IFR VISBYS. COVERED THIS THREAT
WITH A MVFR TEMPO GROUP THROUGH 08-09Z. WRAP AROUND MVFR STRATO-CU
DECK SHOULD SETTLE IN THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD...WITH A
PERIOD OF IFR CIGS POSSIBLE IN SBN THIS MORNING CLOSER TO THE SFC
LOW TRACK. DRIZZLE AND LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS
MORNING...WITH A BETTER SHOT FOR MORE ORGANIZED SHOWERS THIS
AFTERNOON AS A WEAKENING DEFORMATION ZONE AND SECONDARY TROUGH
AXIS PIVOT THROUGH. OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY
STRONG AND VEER TO THE SW THIS MORNING...EVENTUALLY VEERING
FARTHER TO THE WEST BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON BEHIND THE
SECONDARY SFC TROUGH.
