AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
126 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. A FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE IN
THE WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

MAIN CHANGE MADE WAS TO BE MORE OPTIMISTIC ON SKY COVER...MAINLY
THIS MORNING. AREA OF STRATOCU WILL WORK INTO THE NORTHEAST FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND SOME CU WILL ALSO DEVELOP ELSEWHERE LATER.
HOWEVER THERE WILL BE A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE UNTIL THEN...SO
UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT THIS.

TEMPERATURES SEEM TO BE RESPONDING WELL TO THE SUN...SO HAVE ONLY
MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPERATURES. WILL HAVE TO WATCH IMPACT OF
STRATOCU ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AREA THOUGH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATE SLOWLY PROGRESSIVE UPPER FLOW EXPECTED
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. UPPER TROUGHING OVER THE EASTERN PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY WILL SLOWLY PUSH EAST...WHILE UPPER RIDGING CURRENTLY
OVER THE ROCKIES WILL MOVE INTO THE MIDWEST BY THURSDAY NIGHT.
LITTLE THREAT OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED THROUGH THURSDAY WITH
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL AND A DRY AIR MASS. WEAK SHORT WAVE
TROUGH DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MAY
RESULT IN SOME INCREASED CLOUD COVER AT THOSE TIMES...BUT THAT WOULD
BE ABOUT IT.

SOME OF THE ENSEMBLES INDICATE A LOW PRECIPITATION THREAT BY
THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UPPER WAVE RIPPLING THROUGH
THE MEAN RIDGE...SO WILL KEEP SOME LOW POPS IN THE WEST THURSDAY
NIGHT FOR NOW.

IN GENERAL...DON/T HAVE ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE GFS MOS
TEMPERATURES FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT THE LOWS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT MAY BE A LITTLE TOO WARM. SOME CLOUD COVER TONIGHT RESULT IN A
LOWER CONFIDENCE OF REACHING FREEZING AT THIS TIME...SO WILL KEEP
THE FREEZE WATCH GOING FOR NOW. APPEARS MOST AREAS HAVE A GOOD SHOT
AT REACHING FREEZING WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH SURFACE RIDGE
OVERHEAD...BUT TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH MULTIPLE WATCHES WILL NOT
ISSUE ANY FREEZE HEADLINES FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LONG TERM WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY MODERATING TEMPERATURES AS
WELL AS PERIODIC SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AS MODELS AGREE
WITH MOVING AN UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY ON FRIDAY WITH A
WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA ON SATURDAY
STEERED BY THE FAST SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. MODELS HAVE DIFFERENCES
REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL SYSTEM WITH
ALL BUT THE SLOWER 00Z GEM BRINGING THE STATIONARY FRONT BACK
SOUTHEAST AS A COLD FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY BEFORE SETTLING ALONG THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY BY 00Z TUESDAY.
THE END RESULT WILL BE CHANCES OF SHOWERS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT
WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BY SATURDAY AS CENTRAL INDIANA RESIDES
IN THE WARM SECTOR. THIS SHOULD ALSO ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO MOVE
BACK INTO THE 70S SATURDAY AND SUNDAY PER THE CENTRAL REGION
INITIALIZATION. REMAINDER OF THE CR INIT TEMPERATURES LOOK OK WITH
A NICE NORTH AND SOUTH TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ON MONDAY AS A RESULT
OF THE EXPECTED COLD FRONTAL POSITION.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 101800Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.

MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SO FAR TODAY BUT AS LAPSE RATES STEEPEN AND CYCLONIC
FLOW ALOFT SHARPENS AS THE UPPER TROUGH SETTLES INTO THE GREAT
LAKES ANTICIPATING AN INCREASE IN VFR CU COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY AT KIND AND KLAF. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO GUST TO 30 TO 35KTS FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AS
LOW LEVEL MIXING MAXIMIZES.

WINDS WILL DROP OFF THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE AT LESS THAN 10KTS
OVERNIGHT. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR PERIOD OF MORE EXTENSIVE STRATOCU
COVERAGE TONIGHT AS UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE DROPS ACROSS CENTRAL
INDIANA. HAVE ONCE AGAIN HIT CEILINGS A BIT HARDER IN TERMS OF
COVERAGE AT KIND AND KLAF IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FORCING ALOFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISTURBANCE. CLOUDS WILL THIN BETWEEN 06 AND
12Z IN WAKE OF THE DISTURBANCE PASSING. WINDS WILL VEER TO A N/NW
DIRECTION FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 20KTS RESUMING
BY LATE MORNING. DIURNAL CU SHOULD DEVELOP QUICKLY BY LATE MORNING
AS WELL AS CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE REACHED.

GUSTY WINDS AND LOW AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY. THESE CONDITIONS
WILL RESULT IN AN ELEVATED RISK OF HAZARDOUS BURNING CONDITIONS
THIS AFTERNOON. THE RISK IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH WITH SUNSET AS
WINDS DIE OFF AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY INCREASES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

OUTLOOK: THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO

TIME...SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED.

...INCREASED THREAT FOR HAZARDOUS BURNING CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON...

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS TO NEAR 35 MPH HAVE DEVELOPED AND WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. IN ADDITION...RELATIVE
HUMIDITY LEVELS THIS AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND 25
TO 30 PERCENT. THIS COMBINATION WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS BURNING
CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING.

MOST SMALL FUELS HAVE GREENED UP CONSIDERABLY WITH THE MILD
SPRING...HOWEVER WOODED OR SHELTERED AREAS WOULD HOLD THE GREATEST
CHANCE OF YIELDING DRY FUELS THAT WOULD ENHANCE DANGEROUS FIRE
GROWTH.
