AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
325 PM EST FRI MAR 4 2011

.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

...HEAVY RAIN LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 18 TO 24 HOURS...

STRONG WARM FRONT HAS WORKED WELL NORTH INTO MICHIGAN AS OF EARLY
AFTERNOON. THIS HAS ALLOWED MUCH WARMER AIR TO FILTER IN...WITH
RISING TEMPS MUCH OF THE DAY SO FAR DESPITE CLOUD COVER. TEMPS
RANGED FROM THE MID 40S IN FAR NE TO PUSHING 60S IN THE EXTREME
SOUTHWEST. MOST OF THE STEADY PRECIP HAS EXITED THE FORECAST AREA
WITH A LULL AS WE AWAIT THE MORE SIGNIFICANT WAVE TONIGHT. VIS SAT
HAS SHOWN SOME THIN SPOTS AND BREAKS THAT SHOULD MOVE ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...ALLOWING FOR A BIT MORE OF
A INCREASE.

FOCUS SHIFT TO HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AND CONTINUED TRENDS OF NAM AND
LOCAL WRF POINTING TOWARDS A SWATH OF HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS NW
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. SWATH OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ONGOING
ALONG THE OHIO RIVER MAY LIMIT PRECIP DEVELOPMENT FURTHER NORTH INTO
ALREADY FLOODING AREAS OF NE INDIANA AND NW OHIO. IN
ADDITION...CONVECTION WAS BREAKING OUT ACROSS WESTERN MISSOURI WITH
LIGHTER ACTIVITY TRYING TO FORM ACROSS ILLINOIS AND EASTERN
MISSOURI. DEWPOINT WARM FRONT SEEMS TO BE LOCATED FROM CENTRAL
ILLINOIS NE INTO PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN INDIANA. WITH A
CONTINUED NORTHWARD PUSH EXPECTED...INCREASING CONFIDENCE IN HEAVY
RAIN IN NW SECTIONS FROM THIS EVENING INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS EXISTS. THE POTENTIAL FOR 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL
EXISTS IN THESE AREAS IF THIS OCCURS. AS A RESULT...THE FLOOD WATCH
WAS EXPANDED EARLIER TO COVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. THE WEATHER
AND POP GRIDS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN AND CHC
OF THUNDER ALL AREAS. IF ABOVE SCENARIO DOES COME TRUE...SOME
CHANGES MAY BE NEEDED. SINCE THINGS ARE STILL COMING TOGETHER...WILL
DEFER ANY CHANGES TO EVE SHIFT. HAVE INCREASED QPF IN NW AREAS ABOUT
A QUARTER INCH FOR THE TIME BEING.

MODELS SLOWLY PUSH THE RAIN AND EMBEDDED STORMS SE ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY. RAIN WILL CHANGE
TO SNOW AS THE LOW PASSES BY. HOWEVER WITH THE EXACT TRACK STILL IN
QUESTION...WILL LEAVE PREV SWITCH OVER TRENDS IN PLACE WITH THE ONLY
MINOR CHANGE BEING TO THROW A CHC OF LIGHT SNOW IN FAR NW WHERE
TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 30S. AMOUNTS STILL APPEAR TO BE
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE WITH MOST LOCATIONS SEEING MAYBE AN INCH OR SO.

&&

.LONG TERM...

LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BEGIN QUIET WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN FOR
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY TIME PERIOD. SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WITH A
SLOW WARMING TREND EXPECTED THROUGH THIS PERIOD. HIGHS GENERALLY IN
THE 30S SUNDAY BUT WARMING INTO 40S AND LOWER 50S BY TUESDAY AHEAD
OF NEXT POTENT SYSTEM.

THIS NEXT SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE AREA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
BUT ESPECIALLY WED INTO WED NIGHT WITH MODELS A LITTLE SLOWER NOW.
WATER VAPOR STILL SHOWS ACTIVE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS WITH IMPRESSIVE
MOISTURE PLUME NORTHEAST OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WHICH MAY HELP FEED
THIS SYSTEM. IN ADDITION...GULF OF MEXICO ONCE AGAIN OPENS WITH
CONVERGING FLOW FROM ATLANTIC AND DEEP FEED UP THROUGH CENTRAL CONUS
AHEAD OF DEVELOPING SHORT WAVE. GIVEN INCREASING THETA E ADVECTION
AND LOW LEVEL JET BEING PROGGED HAVE ADDED CHANCE THUNDER MENTION
FOR WEDNESDAY. HELD SHORT OF HEAVY RAIN MENTION GIVEN THIS EXTENDED
TIME PERIOD BUT CERTAINLY THAT IS A POSSIBILITY WITH THE LA NINA
PATTERN AND PROGGED MOISTURE FEED WITH EXPECTED DYNAMICS. ALSO LEFT
POPS IN HIGH CHANCE CATEGORY WITH TIMING BETWEEN PERIODS AND
SLIGHTLY SLOWER SOLUTIONS THE MAIN CONCERNS.

TEMPERATURES LOOK TO COOL DOWN AGAIN BEHIND MID WEEK SYSTEM WITH
RETURN TO NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR END OF
THE PERIOD.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS MENTIONED IN SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...HEAVY RAIN THREAT APPEARS TO
BE GROWING OVER THE ENTIRE AREA WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INITIAL
FOCUS FURTHER NW THAN PAST FORECASTS HAVE SHOWED. A HANDFUL OF
RIVERS IN THE NW PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA MAY GO INTO MINOR FLOOD
OVER THE WEEKEND. GENERAL QPF REMAINS FROM ONE AND ONE QUARTER TO
TWO INCHES FROM NW TO SE...MAINLY TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. IF
CONVECTIVE TRENDS DO INCREASE AS FINER RESOLUTION MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING THEN SOME AREAS IN THE NW COULD SEE QPF UPWARDS OF 2
INCHES. SOME CHANGES TO RIVER FORECASTS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING...BUT MORE THAN LIKELY WILL BE A WAIT AND SEE AS TO WHERE
THE HEAVIEST RAIN OCCURS OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.

&&

.AVIATION...
FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL GO DOWNHILL RAPIDLY...ESPECIALLY TOWARDS
00Z/SAT AS DEEPER MSTR AND LIFT ARRIVE AND SHOWER ACTIVITY
EXPANDS. CONVECTION REMAINS POSSIBLE AT BOTH SITES BUT BEST WINDOW
OF OPPORTUNITY STILL A BIT UNCLEAR SO WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY
ADDITION AND MONITOR UPSTREAM TRENDS AND AMEND AS NEEDED. IFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD WITH COLD FRONT
SET TO MOVE THROUGH IN THE 9 TO 12Z TIME FRAME BY KSBN AND CLOSER
TO 14 TO 18Z IN KFWA.

&&

.IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
