AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
413 AM EDT FRI APR 29 2011

.SHORT TERM...
TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...MUCH DRIER AIR ALOFT WAS SPREADING IN
BEHIND A DEPARTING UPPER LOW. NAM/WRF AND THE GFS 295K ISENTROPIC
LEVEL INDICATED VERY RAPID DRYING IN THE MID LEVELS THIS MORNING.
DEEP SUBSIDENCE WILL HELP SKIES CLEAR...ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN MUCH BELOW NORMAL. DAYTIME MIXING DOWN OF SOME HIGHER
MOMENTUM AIR SHOULD CAUSE WIND GUSTS OVER 20 MPH TODAY. WINDS
SHOULD DECOUPLE EARLY THIS EVENING WITH CLEAR/PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
AS THE GRADIENT SLACKENS. HAVE ADDED PATCHY FROST NORTHEAST AND
EAST AREAS INCLUDING FAR SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...NORTHEAST
INDIANA AND NORTHWEST OHIO GIVEN IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR RADIATIONAL
COOLING WITH CLEAR/PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. AS FOR
SATURDAY...FAVOR THE WARMER MAV TEMPS. MUCH WARMER AIR SHOULD
SPREAD BACK INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT. GIVEN
MUCH WARMER AIR ALOFT AND LIMITED MOISTURE AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM...STATIC STABILITY IS MARGINAL WITH MINIMAL CAPE...BUT LOW
LEVEL BULK SHEAR IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. CAN NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
STORM PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM...

THE LONG TERM PERIOD CONTINUES TO LOOK RELATIVELY QUIET AND DRY
COMPARED TO THE PAST TWO WEEKS. STILL A COUPLE CHANCES FOR RAIN IN
THE PERIOD BUT NOTHING LIKE WE HAVE BEEN SEEING. PREFERENCE LIES
TOWARD A BLEND OF 00Z ECMWF...GEFS AND PREVIOUS GRIDS.

COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY BE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING
WITH SURFACE HIGH MOVING IN BEHIND. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPEARS TO
HANG BACK WITH POSSIBILITY OF A WEAK WAVE DEVELOPING ALONG FRONT TO
OUR SOUTH AND MOVING NORTHEAST. IF THIS OCCURS...WHICH WE HAVE SEEN
SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH...COULD SEE SOME RAIN MOVE BACK
INTO SOUTHERN AREAS DURING THE DAY SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING.
CURRENT FORECAST GRIDS HAS THIS HANDLED WELL WITH CHANCE POPS
TAPERED FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST.

MODELS COMING INTO A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT FOR MID WEEK WITH
EVOLUTION OF MID LEVEL HEIGHTS. LATEST ECMWF NOT AS AGGRESSIVE WITH
CLOSING OFF A MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND IS MORE
PROGRESSIVE. LATEST GFS HAS ACTUALLY TRENDED A LITTLE SLOWER AND NOW
HAS A CLOSED LOW TO OUR EAST BY WEDNESDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL KEEP
COOLER AIR IN ACROSS THE AREA WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPS YET AGAIN.
UNCERTAINTY LIES WITH PCPN CHANCES AS PROXIMITY OF UPPER SYSTEM TO
OUR EAST WILL DICTATE HOW FAR WEST ANY WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPS. CURRENT SOLUTIONS KEEP BEST MOISTURE WELL SOUTHEAST OF OUR
AREA AND REALLY SEE NO REASON TO INTRODUCE POPS AT THIS
TIME...ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF LATEST ECMWF.

FINAL FOCUS ON LAST DAY OF FORECAST PERIOD WITH GFS QUICKLY BRINGING
IN ANOTHER SHORT WAVE AND SURFACE FRONT WITH PCPN CHANCES BY LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. ECMWF HAS TRENDED FASTER NOW THAT IS
IS MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH MID WEEK SYSTEM. COULD EASILY ADD LOW
CHANCE POPS INTO DAY 7 GIVEN LATEST SOLUTIONS BUT AT THIS TIME RANGE
PREFER TO DEFER TO NEXT SHIFT TO SEE IF CONTINUITY CONTINUES IN NEXT
MODEL ITERATION.

&&

.AVIATION...
AN UPPER LOW WILL LIFT RAPIDLY NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA TODAY.
DEEP SUBSIDENCE WILL HELP SKIES CLEAR...ALLOWING FOR CONDITIONS
TO BECOME VFR THIS MORNING. DAYTIME MIXING DOWN OF SOME HIGHER
MOMENTUM AIR SHOULD CAUSE SOME WIND GUSTS OF 20 KNOTS TODAY. WINDS
SHOULD DECOUPLE EARLY THIS EVENING WITH CLEAR/PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
AS THE GRADIENT SLACKENS.

&&

.IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IN...NONE.
MI...NONE.
OH...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 5 AM EDT EARLY THIS MORNING FOR
