AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
404 AM EDT TUE AUG 9 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

POTENT/COMPACT SHORTWAVE THAT DELIVERED HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE SRN
HALF OF THE FA OVERNIGHT IS IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING THE FA WITH
AREAS OF STRATUS/FOG EXPECTED IN ITS WAKE EARLY THIS MORNING.
CONTINUED WITH CHC POPS FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTN AND EARLY EVE AS
A LARGER SCALE SHORTWAVE TROUGH PROPAGATES EWD THROUGH SRN
ONTARIO...DROPPING A CDFNT INTO THE AREA. WEAK CONVERGENCE ALONG
BOUNDARY AND EXPECTED AFTN SBCAPE VALUES OF 1-2K J/KG WARRANT THE
CHANCE POP. NOTHING MORE THAN 30/40 POPS THOUGH GIVEN LIMITING
FACTORS INCLUDING A WESTERLY COMPONENT TO THE PRE-FRONTAL LOW LVL
FLOW...EROSION OF DEEP MOISTURE BEHIND TONIGHT/S SHORTWAVE...AND
STRONGER HEIGHT FALLS/FORCING BYPASSING TO THE NORTH.

CAA PROCESS IS EXPECTED IN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
IN RESPONSE TO EXPECTED HEIGHT FALLS/TROUGHING TOWARDS THE
QUEBEC/ONTARIO BORDER. THIS WILL ALLOW MUCH DRIER AND COOLER AIR TO
OVERSPREAD THE AREA DURING THIS TIME WITH HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY ONLY
FORECAST TO TOP OUT IN THE 70S. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
MOST LOCATIONS GIVEN STABLE AIR AS POTENTIAL SUBTLE WEAK VORT MAXES
IN WNW FLOW ALOFT OFFER NOTHING MORE THAN SOME MID/HIGH LVL CLOUDS.

THE ADVECTION OF COOLER AIR (10C AT 850 HPA) OVER WARM LAKE WATERS
(24C) MAY ACTUALLY SET THE STAGE FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS
LATER TONIGHT INTO AT LEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING. THERE MAY ALSO BE A
LITTLE ADDED MID LVL LIFT/MOISTURE FROM A SHORTWAVE NOW OVER MONTANA
PER MORNING WATER VAPOR. GIVEN THIS AND EXPECTED LATENT/SENSIBLE
HEAT FLUX OFF THE LAKE OPTED FOR LOW CHC POPS IN THE FAR NW 09-18Z
WEDNESDAY. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE A MARGINAL THREAT FOR ISOLATED
WATERSPOUTS IN OUR MARINE ZONES DURING THIS TIME. FCST SOUNDINGS
SHOWS AN EL-LCL DEPTH BTW 23-25 KFT AND 850 HPA DELTA T/S NEAR 14C.
DECIDED TO ADD A CHC FOR WATERSPOUTS GIVEN HOW THIS INFORMATION
LINES UP ON THE NOMOGRAM AND PER COLLABORATION.

A DRY/COOL/MOSTLY CLEAR WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS EXPECTED CWA-WIDE AS THE
FLOW RELAXES IN RESPONSE TO A LOW LEVEL ANTICYCLONE BUILDING IN.

&&

.LONG TERM...
THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THE MAIN CHALLENGES THIS PERIOD INCLUDE
THE TIMING AND ASSOCIATED WEATHER OF A SHORT WAVE ARRIVING EARLY
THIS WEEKEND. SATELLITE WATER VAPOR SHOW A CLEARLY DEFINED UPPER
LEVEL SIGNATURE WELL UPSTREAM APPROACHING BRITISH COLUMBIA. THE GFS
APPEARS TO HAVE INITIALIZED THIS SYSTEM REASONABLY WELL HAS BEEN
VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS
AND IS THE PREFERRED MODEL OF CHOICE FOR THIS PACKAGE.
TELECONNECTIONS OF A LARGE UPPER LEVEL/500 MB NEGATIVE ANOMALY OFF
THE WEST NORTHERN AMERICAN COAST SUPPORTS A DOWNSTREAM RIDGE OVER
THE CENTRAL CONUS.  CURRENT THINKING IS LOW LEVEL THETA E/MOISTURE
WILL SURGE BACK NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM. THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL RIDE OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE
AND SHOULD REACH THE FORECAST AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. PLACED A
LITTLE MORE DETAIL IN REGARD TO THE TIMING OF THE STORMS IN THE
LIGHT OF THE LATEST MODEL DATA. SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY AT THIS POINT LOOKS POSSIBLE BUT ISOLATED GIVEN UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT BUT MARGINAL CAPE AND LIMITED BULK SHEAR. OTHERWISE...
AS FOR TEMPERATURES...IT LOOKS LIKE SIGNIFICANT TROFFING WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE CONUS ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
BE AT OR A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE LATEST GFS
OPERATION MEX NUMBERS APPEAR ON TRACK AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FOLLOW.

&&

.AVIATION... / 06Z TAFS /
A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AT THE TAF SITES THROUGH
APPROXIMATELY 09Z AS WEAK DEFORMATION AXIS WITH COMPACT SHORTWAVE
PIVOTS THROUGH. VFR CONDITIONS INITIALLY SHOULD GIVE WAY TO A
PERIOD OF AT LEAST MVFR CIGS/VIS THIS MORNING. CONTINUED WITH
MIXING OUT TO VFR CU BY 14/15Z AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN BEHIND THE
DEPARTING POTENT SHORTWAVE. A SECONDARY SFC COLD FRONT WILL ROTATE
THROUGH THE FA THIS AFTN INTO EARLY THIS EVE. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH
HEATING/DESTABILIZATION AND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY TO
FORCE SHOWERS/STORMS DURING THIS TIME. HOWEVER...OPTED FOR A DRY
FCST DUE TO LOW PROBABILITY AS TONIGHT/S WAVE SCOURS OUT DEEPER
MOISTURE.
