AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
1108 AM EDT THU APR 28 2011

.UPDATE...
NO CHANGES TO GRIDS FOR THIS AFTN. ZFP UPDATED TO REMOVE MORNING
WORDING AND TO EXPIRE WIND ADVISORY. AREA OF SHOWERS ASSOCIATED
WITH UPR LOW OVER SRN WI EXPECTED TO MOVE E-SE INTO OUR CWA THIS
AFTN. LITTLE BETTER INSTABILITY ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE
AREA WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER TEMPS/DWPTS MAY ALLOW A FEW OF THE
SHOWERS TO INTENSIFY INTO TSTMS AROUND PEAK HEATING THIS AFTN.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 743 AM EDT THU APR 28 2011/

AVIATION...
FOR THE 12Z TAFS...RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH DEFORMATION FORCING HAS
SHIFTED TO THE EAST OF THE TERMINALS WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO
VFR THIS MORNING. EXPECTING LOW CLOUDS TO REDEVELOP AND MOVE BACK
IN FROM THE WEST DUE TO COLD ADVECTION AND DAYTIME HEATING. CIGS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE GENERALLY HIGHER END MVFR OR VFR THIS
AFTERNOON. SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE LIKELY AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AS
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST SHIFTS INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. THE BEST CHANCE OF THESE SHOWERS WILL BE AT KFWA
CLOSE TO AN ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH WITH THIS SYSTEM. SOME
DIMINISHMENT IN WIND GUSTS EARLY THIS MORNING BEHIND DEPARTING
LOW...BUT DAYTIME MIXING WILL ALLOW FOR GUSTS TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE HIGHEST GUSTS AT KFWA. CHANCE OF RAIN
WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES OFF TO THE
EAST...BUT MVFR CIGS MAY PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 513 AM EDT THU APR 28 2011/

SHORT TERM...

TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

WINDS AND FLOOD POTENTIAL ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR THE SHORT TERM.

A VERY STRONG LOW PRESSURE OF 987 MB CENTERED NEAR DETROIT WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK OFF TO THE NORTHEAST THIS MORNING WITH AN
ACCOMPANYING VERY STRONG ISALLOBARIC RISE AND FALL COUPLET. VERY
STRONG WINDS OF 60 TO 65 WERE REPORTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST
OHIO OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF INCREASING
MIXING NEAR THE FRONT AND STRONG ISALLOBARIC FORCING. A WIND
ADVISORY WAS ISSUED EARLIER DURING THE OVERNIGHT...AND NORTHWEST
OHIO HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A HIGH WIND WARNING VALID THROUGH 12Z
THIS MORNING ALTHOUGH THREAT OF WINDS ABOVE 55 MPH MAY WELL
SUBSIDE OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. HAVE NOT INCLUDED SOUTHEAST
LOWER MICHIGAN COUNTIES IN THE WIND ADVISORY OR HIGH WIND WARNING
WITH STRONGER ISALLOBARIC FORCING EXPECTED TO BE JUST TO THE SOUTH
OF THIS AREA...BUT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR TRENDS OVER NEXT FEW HOURS
ACROSS FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR POSSIBLE
EXPANSION OF WIND ADVISORY EARLY THIS MORNING. FURTHER BACK TO THE
WEST...HAVE DROPPED WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS GENERALLY WEST OF
INTERSTATE 69.

DEFORMATION PRECIP WILL EXIT NORTHEAST THIS MORNING AND HAVE
RECEIVED SOME REPORTS OF SOME STREET FLOODING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
AREA. THIS RAINFALL LAST EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT IS OCCURRING
ACROSS MANY LOCATIONS WHICH HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED HEAVY RAINFALL THE
PAST FEW DAYS AND HAVE ISSUED AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE AREA. THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING HAS DIMINISHED WITH RAINFALL
RATES FOR REMAINDER OF THE EARLY MORNING NOT EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A
FLASH FLOOD THREAT...SO HAVE LET THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH EXPIRE AT 08Z.

AFTER A BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION THIS MORNING...EXPECTED RENEWED
SHOWERS TO AFFECT THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS UPPER LOW ACROSS FAR
WESTERN WISCONSIN SLIDES EASTWARD INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
SECONDARY SFC TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE AND COLD POOL
ALOFT SHOULD SERVE AS A FOCAL POINT FOR MORE SHOWERS THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH BEST INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WITH THE
SFC TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. 00Z
NAM BUFFER SOUNDINGS EVEN INDICATING 100-300 J/KG OF SFC BASED CAPE
AVAILABLE...AND DID ADD SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTH. GIVEN LOW FREEZING LEVELS...COULD SEE SOME GRAUPEL WITH THE
SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY THIS AFTERNOON WITH
GUSTS TO 25 TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE DUE TO DEEP MIXING. CHANCE OF SHOWERS
TO CONTINUE THIS EVENING...WITH CHANCES GRADUALLY TAPERING LATE
EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW PULLS OFF TO THE EAST.

OUTSIDE OF SOME LINGERING BREEZY CONDITIONS...FRIDAY FINALLY SHAPING
UP AS A QUIET WEATHER DAY WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING INTO THE
AREA IN ADVANCE OF NEXT SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND.

LONG TERM...

VERY LITTLE TIME SPENT ON LONG TERM GRIDS TONIGHT AS FOCUS HAS BEEN
ON CURRENT WEATHER. QUICK LOOK AT 00Z GUIDANCE SUGGEST LONG TERM
GRIDS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON OVERALL SYNOPTIC SITUATION AND FEW
CHANGES REALLY NEEDED. FOCUS REMAINS ON APPROACHING MID LEVEL TROUGH
AND SURFACE FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. ECMWF
LOOKS TO BE A LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT STILL
SLOWER THAN GFS IN EXITING MID LEVEL SYSTEM. CURRENT POPS AND
WEATHER GRIDS HAVE THIS PERIOD COVERED WITH LOW TO MID CHANCE POPS
AND SEE NO REASON TO DEVIATE WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. TEMPS ALSO
IN LINE WITH NICE WARMING TREND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH RIDGE
MOVING ACROSS AREA AND A COUPLE DAYS TO DRY OUT AGAIN. TEMPS BECOME
COOLER NEXT WEEK WITH COLD CORE BEHIND FRONT AND BACK TO BELOW
NORMAL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD.
