AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

645 AM EDT THU APR 21 2011

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS/...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY INTO THIS EVENING...OUTSIDE OF A
POTENTIAL BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR BR TO START THIS MORNING. WINDS WILL
BE LIGHT TODAY AND VEER EASTERLY BY THIS AFTERNOON AS A SFC RIDGE
TRANSLATES THROUGH. MID/UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS WILL LOWER AND THICKEN
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AS ISENTROPIC LIFT RAMPS UP AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING TROUGH. RAIN WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AT THE TERMINALS
OVERNIGHT AS A MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE TIGHTENS OVER THE FA. TOP
DOWN SATURATION PROCESS SHOULD EVENTUALLY YIELD MVFR CIGS TOWARDS
THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT

QUIET AND WARMER WX WILL PREVAIL TODAY AS A LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS
TRAVERSES THE CWA. THERE ARE A FEW POCKETS OF LINGERING STRATOCU
AROUND EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE TO
DISSIPATE GIVEN CONTINUED SUBSIDENT FLOW AND DRYING. AS A
RESULT...SHOULD SEE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE TODAY...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE
FILTERED UNDER INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS. ALSO...STARTING TO SEE A
FEW AREAS OF FOG JUST WEST OF THE FA UNDER THE SFC RIDGE. WE MAY
SEE SOME OF THIS IN OUR SOUTHWEST AROUND DAYBREAK. WILL HANDLE WITH
A NOWCAST OR SPS IF PATCHY FOG DEVELOPS FARTHER EWD.

ISENTROPIC LIFT...WITH A 5-6 G/KG MOISTURE TAP WITHIN NEARLY 40
KNOTS OF CROSS ISOBARIC FLOW ON THE 300K SFC...WILL RAMP UP TONIGHT
IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH ADVANCING EWD INTO
CO/WY. RAIN SHOULD OVERSPREAD AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FA
LATE IN THE EVENING INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS THE ASSOCIATED MID LVL
BAROCLINIC ZONE TIGHTENS OVER THE AREA. SHOULD SEE RAIN ALSO DEVELOP
OVER THE NRN CWA THAT WILL BE TIED TO RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION UPPER
DYNAMICS FROM AND EXITING UPPER TROUGH AND DEVELOPING 700 HPA
FRONTOGENESIS. CONTINUED WITH CHC POPS WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FA
00-06Z AND RAISED POPS A BIT 06-12Z. LEFT THUNDER OUT OF THE FCST AS
ANY ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND POTENTIAL FOR HVY RAIN REMAINS JUST
SOUTH OF THE FA. OTHERWISE...IF RAIN DOES SETTLE IN IT WILL WET BULB
OUT TO BE A CHILLY/RAW NIGHT WITH INCREASING EASTERLY SFC WINDS.

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT LOOK TO BE EERILY SIMILAR TO THIS PAST
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE ABOVE MENTIONED UPPER TROUGH EJECTS
NEWD TOWARDS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THE RESULTING ADJUSTMENT IN
MASS FIELDS AND A DEVELOPING EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE TO THE WSW
SUPPORTS ROBUST 925-850 HPA THETA-E ADVECTION INTO THE AREA DURING
THIS TIME...WITH SEVERAL BOUTS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
IN THIS WAA REGIME. THERE MAY BE A LULL IN THE PRECIPITATION FRIDAY
MORNING AS BETTER LARGE SCALE LIFT EXITS TO THE EAST.
HOWEVER...OPTED TO HOLD WITH INHERITED LIKELY POPS AS ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION COULD FIRE ALONG THE NOSE OF THE 850 HPA LOW LEVEL JET
AND WORK UP THIS WAY. ANY CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN NON-SEVERE AND
ELEVATED FOR MUCH OF THE DAY AS PRESSURE FALLS TO THE WEST WILL AID
IN KEEPING THE SFC BOUNDARY LOCKED UP TO THE SOUTH...ALLOWING FOR A
STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL THERMAL INVERSION. DID LOWER FRIDAY/S HIGHS
SEVERAL DEGREES TO MATCH UP CLOSER TO THE 12KM NAM AS IT HANDLED
THIS SIMILAR SITUATION BEST TWO DAYS AGO. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO
POTENTIAL SEVERE WX FRIDAY NIGHT AS A MODEL CONSENSUS TRACK SFC LOW
NEWD THROUGH OUR EXTREME NW...WHICH MAY ALLOW ANOTHER QLCS/SEVERE
BOWING SEGMENT TO ROLE THROUGH ALONG/SOUTH OF THE NWD ADVANCING SFC
BOUNDARY. FORCING AND THE RESULTANT WIND FIELD DOES NOT LOOK AS
IMPRESSIVE AS THE TUESDAY NIGHT SYSTEM...ALTHOUGH THE 12 KM NAM
DOES DEVELOP AN IMPRESSIVE NOCTURNAL JET EAST OF THE SFC CYCLONE
WITH NEARLY 50 KNOTS OF 0-3 KM BULK SHEAR. INSTABILITY...STRENGTH OF
INVERSION...AND THE NWD PROGRESS OF THE SFC BOUNDARY ARE STILL LARGE
UNCERTAINTIES AT THIS TIME. REGARDLESS...WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT
THE SEVERE POTENTIAL IN THE HWO...WITH BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE
SOUTH.
