AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
701 AM EDT WED APR 27 2011

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 12Z TAFS...LARGE AREA OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT TERMINALS
THIS MORNING WITH PERIODIC MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. VERY ACTIVE
PATTERN WILL CONTINUE LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT AS NEXT UPSTREAM
DISTURBANCE IS RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF DEPARTING SHORT WAVE TROUGH
LATER THIS MORNING. SFC LOW PRESSURE ACROSS SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS
WILL LIFT NORTHEAST THIS MORNING AND SHOULD TRACK WEST OF KFWA
RESULTING IN STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW LATER THIS
MORNING...WITH SOME GUSTS TO 25 OR KNOTS OR GREATER LATER THIS
MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. EASTERLY WINDS DEVELOPING AT KSBN
THIS MORNING WILL BACK TO THE NORTHWEST DUE EXPECTED LOW TRACK
JUST TO THE EAST OF THE TERMINAL. UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ON THREAT OF
THUNDER THIS AFTERNOON IN ASSOCIATION WITH STALLED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA...WITH BETTER INSTABILITY SETTING UP THIS
AFTERNOON SETTING UP SOUTHEAST OF THE TERMINALS. FORCING FOR
VERTICAL MOTION WILL INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS NEXT UPPER
TROUGH ACROSS THE PLAINS APPROACHES WHICH COULD RESULT IN STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BECOMING ACTIVE AGAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE THUNDER AT THIS TIME GIVEN
MARGINAL INSTABILITY AND HAVE INCLUDED CB GROUP AT KFWA AFTER 20Z.
MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN AND PERHAPS SOME EMBEDDED THUNDER TONIGHT AS
THIS SECOND UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH...WITH AN EVENTUAL DRYING
TREND OVERNIGHT AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE AREA ON INCREASINGLY
GUSTY WEST WINDS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 437 AM EDT WED APR 27 2011/

SHORT TERM...

TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE
SHORT TERM FORECAST.

MCS ACROSS THE MID MS RIVER VALLEY LAST EVENING HAS LIFTED NORTHEAST
AND OVERSPREAD THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. PRIMARY
INSTABILITY AXIS EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL INDIANA ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST
INDIANA AND INTO NORTHWEST OHIO WITH AROUND 500 J/KG MUCAPE. INITIAL
LEAD SHORT WAVE THIS MORNING APPEARS TO BE LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS
EAST CENTRAL INDIANA...AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY HIGHLIGHTS ANOTHER
VORT MAX WITH SHARP MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE GRADIENT ACROSS CENTRAL
MISSOURI. MSAS ANALYSIS INDICATING PRESSURE FALLS STRENGTHENING
RAPIDLY OVERNIGHT WITH MAX PRESSURE FALLS OF 7 MB PER 3 HOURS ACROSS
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. EXPECTING CONTINUED DEEPENING OF SFC LOW PRESSURE
ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST THIS MORNING IN
RESPONSE TO THE EASTWARD ADVANCE OF THE MISSOURI SHORT WAVE. RESULT
FOR FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE SOME ENHANCEMENT TO WESTWARD
EXTENT/INTENSITY OF AREA OF RAIN THIS MORNING TIED INTO SOME
INCREASING DEFORMATION FORCING WHILE BETTER LOW LEVEL THETAE
SURGE CONTINUES TO ADVECT ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA VIA A 60 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET. WILL GRADUALLY SEE RAIN
TAPER OFF THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW LEVEL THETA RIDGE SHIFTS EAST OF
THE AREA AND LINGERING DEFORMATION FORCING WITH AFOREMENTIONED
SHORT WAVE BEGINS TO LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA. SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER PAST WEEK COMBINED WITH CONVECTIVE
NATURE OF PRECIPITATION THIS MORNING STILL LENDS TO FLOOD/FLASH
FLOOD CONCERN AND NO CHANGES TO FLASH FLOOD HEADLINE IS
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

FOR THIS AFTERNOON...OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STILL LIKELY EXTEND
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA. MAIN INSTABILITY AXIS WILL BE POSITIONED EAST OF THE AREA AND
LOCAL AREA MAY BE IN BETWEEN PERIODS OF STRONGER MID/UPPER LEVEL
FORCING SO CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IS SOMEWHAT UNCLEAR THIS AFTERNOON.
BETTER SEVERE THREAT DOES APPEAR TO BE SOUTHEAST OF THE LOCAL AREA
BUT GIVEN LINGERING BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA...AND WEAK TO MODERATE
INSTABILITY ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST...WILL CONTINUE WITH THUNDER
MENTION.

ANOTHER VIGOROUS UPPER TROUGH AIDED BY A 130 KNOT JET STREAK ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NORTHWARD INDUCING SFC
CYCLOGENESIS ONCE AGAIN WITH A SIMILAR LOW TRACK...OR JUST
SOUTHEAST OF LOW TRACK THIS MORNING. CONFIDENCE STILL SOMEWHAT LOW
TONIGHT ON EXACT TRACK OF THIS DISTURBANCE AND HAVE CONTINUED TO
LEAN MORE TOWARD GFS FOR THIS PERIOD WHICH IS FAIRLY WELL INLINE
WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST. DESPITE LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT TRACK
STILL FEEL THAT CATEGORICAL POPS ARE WARRANTED FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA...AS EVEN IF SLIGHTLY MORE SUPPRESSED NAM SOLUTION
VERIFIES...MUCH OF THE AREA WOULD GET IN ON DEFORMATION RAIN.
FLOOD CONCERNS MAY PERSIST INTO TONIGHT DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN
FALLS TODAY...BUT WILL LET DAYSHIFT ASSESS THIS POTENTIAL WITH TOO
MANY UNCERTAINTIES AT THIS TIME BEYOND PERIOD 1.

UNSETTLED PATTERN TO CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY WITH UPPER LOW
MEANDERING ACROSS GREAT LAKES REGION WITH LIKELIHOOD OF
SHOWERS...ALTHOUGH WITH QPF AMOUNTS MUCH LIGHTER IN NATURE. MUCH
COOLER CONDITIONS FOR THURSDAY...AS LOW LEVEL COLD CORE OVERSPREADS
THE AREA ALLOWING FOR HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. AREA
TO FINALLY DRY OUT THURSDAY NIGHT AS UPPER LOW SHIFTS OFF TO THE
EAST.

LONG TERM...

ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE LONG TERM WITH
ANOTHER LONG WAVE TROUGH INTO THE PLAINS THIS WEEKEND WITH SHORT
WAVES IMPACTING OUR AREA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH MUCH NEEDED BREAK FROM RAIN ON FRIDAY AS
SHORT WAVE RIDGING MOVES IN ALOFT ALONG WITH SURFACE RIDGE. EXPECT
THE DAY TO START A LITTLE BREEZY AS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED BEHIND THESE
DEPARTING WAVES AS OF LATE WITH MIXING. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS SURFACE RIDGE MOVES OVER AREA AND GRADIENT RELAXES.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY LOOK TO REMAIN DRY AS WELL WITH
NEXT SYSTEM SHOWING A SLOWING PATTERN IN LATEST RUNS AS DEEP LONG
WAVE TROUGH DEVELOPS IN PLAINS. RETURN FLOW AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH
INCREASES SATURDAY AND ALLOWS MOISTURE ADVECTION TO BEGIN WITH
WARMING TEMPERATURES. BEST FORCING LOOKS TO ARRIVE SATURDAY NIGHT
WITH MAIN FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND SHORT WAVE. THIS BOUNDARY LOOKS TO
SLOW AND BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE REGION SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT WITH A COUPLE WAVES DEVELOPING ALONG FRONT SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT. HAVE INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY DURING THIS PERIOD. LATEST SUITE
OF GUIDANCE SUGGESTING PCPN MAY LINGER INTO MONDAY AND MAY NEED TO
EXTEND POPS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS WELL.

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DIVERGE NEXT WEEK WITH PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF
THIS SYSTEM AS 00Z ECMWF DEVELOPS A CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT
LAKES AND KEEPS IT ACROSS THE REGION. GFS MORE PROGRESSIVE AND
SWEEPS SYSTEM TO OUR EAST RATHER QUICKLY. DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES
TO LAST FEW PERIODS OF FORECAST AS WE AWAIT A MORE CONSISTENT TREND
IN MODEL DATA.
