Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 2:46 PM EDT, 3 hours 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
246 PM EDT SAT JUN 4 2011

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/
EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE CWA THIS AFTN WITH
3-4KJ/KG MIXED LAYER CAPE AND LITTLE TO NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION.
ALTHOUGH FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH CDFNT/SHRTWV MOVG ACROSS SRN WI/NW
IL IS WEAK...IT MAY BE SUFFICIENT WHEN COMBINED WITH LAKE BREEZE
INTERACTION FOR SCT TSTM DEVELOPMENT AS IT MOVES SE ACROSS THE AREA
LATE THIS AFTN/EVE. GIVEN LARGE CAPE/DCAPE AND AROUND 30KT 0-6KM
SHEAR... THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SVR STORMS...  WITH DAMAGING WINDS
THE MAIN THREAT. INITIAL STORM DEVELOPMENT COULD ALSO CONTAIN LARGE
HAIL AS 800 J/KG CAPE IN HAIL GROWTH ZONE AND RELATIVELY DRY MID
LEVEL AIR SHOULD COUNTERACT DETRIMENTAL AFFECTS OF 13-14KFT FREEZING
LEVELS. ASSUMING CONVECTIVE INITIATION DOES OCCUR... A QUICK
TRANSITION FROM CELLS TO SMALL BOWS LIKELY GIVEN UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW
EVIDENT ON WOLCOTT PROFILER.

CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE OUT OF SRN PORTION OF THE AREA BY 06Z AS
CDFNT MOVES INTO SRN IN/OH. SFC HIGH WILL MOVE INTO THE UPR GRTLKS
BEHIND THIS FRONT PROVIDING FAIR WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY. AS
THE HIGH MOVES TO THE LWR GRTLKS SUNDAY NIGHT WAA WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS OUR CWA. CONVECTION PSBL LATE TONIGHT AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT
OVER THE PLAINS WHERE STALLING/RETREATING FRONT AT NOSE OF LLJ WILL
PROVIDE SOME ISENT LIFT/LOW LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION. THIS ACTIVITY
SHOULD MOVE SE AND ATTM EXPECT IT WILL REMAIN WEST OF OUR CWA SO DRY
WX FCST AFT 06Z TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. LITTLE CHANGE TO
GOING TEMP GRIDS OR 12Z MOS GUIDANCE WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO FALL
BACK CLOSER TO NORMAL TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A NORTH ATLANTIC OMEGA BLOCK WILL HOLD THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD
SUPPORTING A PERSISTENT LARGE SCALE FLOW PATTERN ACROSS NOAM. THE
LOCAL AREA WILL GENERALLY BE LOCATED ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF AN
EXPANSIVE RIDGE THAT WILL BE CENTERED ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND
SRN/CENTRAL PLAINS. LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVES AND/OR CONVECTIVELY
MODIFIED VORT MAXES WILL LIKELY PROPAGATE EWD OVER/ALONG THE RIDGE
AXIS. THESE WEAK MID LVL IMPULSES WILL LIKELY AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF SHOWERS/SHOWERS ALONG A LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE / HIGH PWAT /
AXIS THAT WILL MIXING NEWD ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. WITH
THIS CONTINUED WITH CHC POPS MAINLY MONDAY AFTN AND NIGHT...AND
ADDED LOW CHC POPS TO TUESDAY MORNING IN THE NE WITH THE BOUNDARY
NEAR.

MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO LIFT THE THE WARM
FRONT/THETA-E RIDGE NORTH OF THE FA TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS NWD INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES IN
RESPONSE TO HIGH PLAINS HEIGHT FALLS. HIGH TEMPS NEAR 90F WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN THE SW ON TUESDAY...WITH WEDNESDAY HIGHS NEAR 90F
CWA-WIDE. BUILDING HUMIDITY DURING THIS TIME WILL SUPPORT
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH LACK OF ANY OBVIOUS
TRIGGER AND SUBTLE MID LVL CAPPING/DRYING ENOUGH TO CONTINUE WITH A
14 POP/DRY FCST. LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY LOOKS SOMEWHAT
SIMILAR TO TODAY AS A STRONGER MID LVL IMPULSE TRACKS EWD THROUGH
THE NRN GREAT LAKES...AGAIN FLATTENING THE UPPER RIDGE AND SENDING A
COLD FRONT SEWD BACK INTO THE FA. WITH THIS CONTINUED WITH CHC
POPS FOR SHOWERS/STORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY GIVEN SUBTLE
TIMING DIFFERENCES IN GUIDANCE.

LARGER SPREAD IN MODEL GUIDANCE AS EXPECTED BY DAYS 6-7
(FRIDAY/SATURDAY). THE 12Z OP GFS TRENDED MORE TOWARDS THE ECMWF IN
THURSDAY'S NRN GREAT LAKES SHORTWAVE DIVING SEWD INTO THE NORTHEAST
US. THIS SUPPORTS A FLATTENING OF THE UPPER RIDGE...SFC RIDGING INTO
THE GREAT LAKES...AND THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY SINKING
WELL SOUTH OF THE FA. IF THIS PANS OUT WE WOULD SEE A RETURN TO
DRY/COOLER/LESS HUMID WX BY DAYS 6/7. HOWEVER...OPTED NOT TO PULL
INHERITED LOW CHC POPS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY GIVEN MODEL
INCONSISTENCIES THIS FAR IN ADVANCE...AND FOR THE FACT THAT SEVERAL
GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS STALL THE BOUNDARY FARTHER NORTH INVOF THE CWA.

&&

.AVIATION...
EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER NRN INDIANA THIS AFTN. A CDFNT
MOVG THROUGH NW IL/SE WI SHOULD DROP ACROSS NRN INDIANA BY THIS
EVENING. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO TRIGGER SCT TSTMS...WHICH

DAMAGING WINDS...THUS MAINTAINED GOING TEMPO +TSRA GROUP AT BOTH
TERMINALS LATE THIS AFTN. SOME LINGERING MID/HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED
TNGT AND SUNDAY. WINDS WILL VEER NE BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT...
AND THEN LIKELY BACK NW AGAIN AT SBN SUNDAY AS LAKE BREEZE MOVES
INLAND WITH LIGHT GRADIENT FLOW. LINGERING MOISTURE AND LIGHT
