AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
731 PM EDT THU APR 28 2011

.AVIATION.../00Z TAFS/
DEPARTING UPPER VORT MAX WILL SUPPORT A PERIOD OF SCT LIGHT RAIN
THIS EVENING WITH MVFR CIGS...MAINLY NORTHERN HALF. DRYING LL
PROFILES PER NEGATIVE THETA-E ADVECTION WILL SUPPORT A GRADUAL
BREAK-UP OF MVFR CIGS...WITH A TREND TOWARD VFR CONDITIONS BY LATE
FRI MORNING. LINGERING SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH STRONGER UPPER
FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING UPPER LOW WILL ALLOW FOR
BREEZY CONDITIONS INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH LIGHT WINDS LATE
IN THE PERIOD.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 406 PM EDT THU APR 28 2011/

SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/

UPR LOW MOVG ACROSS SRN LM WAS CAUSING SCT SHOWERS ACROSS SRN
MI/INDIANA/IL ATTM. DEEPER CONVECTION EVIDENT OVER CENTRAL/SRN
INDIANA WHERE AIRMASS IS A LITTLE MORE UNSTABLE. APPEARS ANY TSTMS
WILL STAY SOUTH OF CWA BUT MAY BE CLOSE SO LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE IN
GRIDS FOR LATE THIS AFTN. SCT SHOWERS SHOULD PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA
INTO THE EVE AND THEN TAPER OFF LATE TONIGHT AS UPR LOW MOVES EAST
TO THE LWR GRTLKS. STRATO CU SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR THE AREA FROM
WEST TO EAST LATE TONIGHT AND COMPLETE THIS PROCESS FRIDAY MORNING
WITH SKIES BECOMING SUNNY BY MIDDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE AND
DRY/SUBSIDING AIRMASS BUILDS INTO THE AREA. WITH CLOUDS AND MIXING
STAYING UP OVERNIGHT FORECAST MINS ON THE WARM SIDE OF
MOS...GENERALLY IN THE M-U30S... AND WITH SUNNY SKIES FRIDAY AND
GOOD MIXING AGAIN WENT AT OR ABOVE WARMEST MOS WITH HIGHS FCST
GENERALLY IN THE U50S/L60S...EXCEPT M50S NEAR LM.

RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE AREA FRIDAY EVE ALLOWING FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING CONDITIONS FOR A PORTION OF THE NIGHT, BUT INCREASING
GRADIENT WINDS AND HIGH CLOUDS AS SFC HIGH MOVES TO OUR EAST SHOULD
SLOW TEMP FALL OVERNIGHT. GENERALLY FCST MINS IN THE U30S-L40S...
EXCEPT M30S AROUND BEH WHERE RADIATIONAL COOLING TYPICALLY ENHANCED.

LONG TERM...

SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT

LONG TERM PERIOD BEGINS WITH A VERY NICE DAY WEATHERWISE...AS UPPER
LEVEL AND SURFACE RIDING IS PRESENT ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS
SATURDAY. SOUTHERLY FLOW/WAA REGIME WILL YIELD ABOVE NORMAL HIGH
TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY. BUMPED TEMPS DOWN A DEGREE OR SO AS HIGH
CLOUDS IN ADVANCE OF NEXT SYSTEM SHOULD LIMIT MAXIMUM INSOLATION.

NEXT SYSTEM OF INTEREST WILL APPROACH THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AS
UPPER/MID LVL TROF WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER AND AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PUSH TOWARDS THE AREA. MODELS AGREE THAT
ONSET OF PRECIP SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 00Z SUNDAY. THE FRONT
WILL SLOWLY PUSH THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY. MAINTAINED THUNDER
MENTION EVERYWHERE SATURDAY NIGHT...AND ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. LITTLE TO NO INSTABILITY TO WORK
WITH...BUT 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR OF 60 KTS ALONG THE FRONT AND
MARGINAL MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF SOME THUNDER.
LEFT CHANCE POPS IN THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...AS CONFIDENCE TO EXACT
TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AND DURATION OF PRECIP IS LOW.
LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST A FASTER SOLUTION WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...WHICH COULD LEAVE SUNDAY NIGHT DRY FOR MOST OF THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY THE NORTHWESTERN HALF.

MODEL SOLUTIONS DIVERGE BEGINNING MONDAY. 12Z GFS CONTINUES TO BE AN
OUTLIER...WITH RESPECT TO HANDLING THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT. GFS SHOWS A LESS AMPLIFIED PATTERN WITH A WEAK
SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. LATEST
ECMWF HAS A MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED SOLUTION...WITH AN UPPER LOW
ACTUALLY CUTTING OFF OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND DIGGING SOUTHEAST
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. TRENDED MORE TOWARDS THE ECMWF
SOLUTION...WITH A MORE PRONOUNCED TROF OVER THE AREA...WHICH LEAD TO
TRENDING ON THE COOLER SIDE FOR TEMPERATURES THROUGH MIDWEEK.
CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH THIS PERIOD...HOWEVER
INSTABILITY SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP IF COLD CORE LOW CUTS OFF AND
TRACKS OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. CONFIDENCE TOO
LOW AT THIS POINT FOR REALIZATION OF THIS SOLUTION...AND
MAINTAINED DRY FCST.

RIDGING WILL PUSH BACK INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY...LEADING TO MODERATING TEMPERATURES AND FAIR WEATHER. THE
NEXT SYSTEM TO IMPACT OUR AREA WILL BE LATE WEEK...THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY. LEFT FCST DRY THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS MODEL SOLUTIONS HAVE
LITTLE AGREEMENT TO TIMING/LOCATION OF PRECIPITATION.
