Area forecast discussion, May 14, 3:05 PM CDT, 6 hours 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
405 PM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011

.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...AN UPPER LOW WAS NORTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER AND MOVING SLOWLY EAST. THE EAST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA
WAS STILL IN THE WARM SECTOR. THE AIRMASS OVER NORTHEAST INDIANA AND
NW OHIO WAS ABLE TO DESTABILIZE ENOUGH FOR STORMS TODAY. EXPECT A
MARGINAL SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL INTO EARLY THIS EVENING AS WET
BULB ZERO HIGHS VERY FAVORABLE FOR HAIL. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS
ALSO POSSIBLE AS MANY OF THE STORMS HAVE BEEN BACKBUILDING. FOR THIS
PACKAGE...FAVOR THE SPECTRAL MODELS INCLUDING THE ECMWF GIVEN THE
SUPERIOR HANDLING OF THE CUT OFF LOW AND THE FUJI WHARA INTERACTION
OF AN UPSTREAM UPPER LOW. AN UPPER LEVEL TROWAL SHOULD REMAIN OVER
THE AREA FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND...AND BE ACCOMPANIED BY PERIODS
OF RAIN. GIVEN A VERY COOL AIRMASS WITH AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
PRECIPITATION...LOWERED HIGHS SEVERAL DEGREES SUNDAY...MORE IN LINE
WITH THE GFS/MAV.

&&

.LONG TERM...

VERY FEW CHANGES NEEDED TO LONG TERM GRIDS AS FOCUS HAS BEEN MORE ON
NEAR TERM WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. GENERALLY FOLLOWED GFS AND GEFS WHICH
ALIGNS WELL WITH GOING GRIDS AND EXPECTED PATTERN. PERSISTENT UPPER
LOW WILL REMAIN IN THE REGION TO SOME DEGREE BUT WOBBLE TO THE
SOUTHEAST EARLY IN THE WEEK BEFORE COMING BACK OUR WAY. THIS WILL
LEAD TO A BRIEF DRY PERIOD MONDAY INTO TUESDAY ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL
REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL. TEMPERATURES MONDAY NIGHT ARE A CONCERN
WITH VERY DRY NORTHEAST FLOW AND COLD UPPER LOW OVER THE AREA. KEPT
TEMPS IN UPPER 30S WITH CONCERN FOR SOME HIGH CLOUDS AND LIGHT
GRADIENT. IF SKIES INDEED CLEAR AND WINDS BECOME LIGHT COULD SEE
TEMPS DROP TO LOWER 30S AND POSSIBLE FROST.

SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL HELP REINFORCE UPPER LOW AND BRING BACK
TOWARD THE AREA LATER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. CONTINUED TREND OF
BRINGING POPS BACK WEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND KEPT POPS OVER ENTIRE
AREA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. EXPECT SHOWERS TO MOVE EAST TO WEST
WITH LOW CENTERED TO OUR SOUTH AND EASTERLY FLOW. CONTINUED
OPTIMISTIC DRY POPS FRIDAY AND CONTINUED INTO SATURDAY WITH LOW
CONFIDENCE. ECMWF SLOWER WITH NEXT UPPER LOW WHICH TENDS TO WORK
OUT AS GFS HAS A FAST EASTWARD BIAS WITH CLOSED LOWS. WILL HAVE TO
WATCH TRENDS FOR POSSIBLE POPS EARLY NEXT WEEKEND.

TEMPS VERY COOL THROUGH FIRST PART OF WEEK THEN SLOW WARMING AS LOW
BEGINS TO SLIDE EAST. OPTIMISTIC FOR END OF WEEK AHEAD OF NEXT
SYSTEM WITH TEMPS BACK TO NEAR NORMAL IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORMS WERE FORMING IN THE WARM SECTOR WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE
HAD DESTABILIZED. A STATIONARY FRONT WAS BETWEEN SBN AND FWA...
WITH SBN IN THE COLD SECTOR. CONTINUED TO MENTION THE CHANCE OF
THUNDER AT BOTH SBN AND FWA AS MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR SPREADS
NORTH AND NORTHWEST. LOW IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD DOMINATE MUCH OF
THE TAF PERIOD AT SBN GIVEN PRECIPITATION FALLING FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD.
