Area forecast discussion, May 1, 6:20 PM EDT, 1 hour 19 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
620 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2012

.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 340 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2012

A WELL DEFINED MCV AND A WARM FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING...WITH
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POTENTIALLY SEVERE...ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP A WARM MOIST UNSTABLE AIR MASS
ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW INTO EARLY TOMORROW EVENING...AND A
SUBTLE SHORTWAVE ALOFT MAY SPARK SOME THUNDERSTORMS AS A RESULT.

AFTER A BRIEF BREAK FROM THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL
THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE LATTER PART OF
THE WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS SEVERAL DISTURBANCES ROUND THE
FRINGES OF UPPER LEVEL RIDGING TO OUR SOUTH.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 340 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2012

REDEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH MCV...INCLUDING SOME
SEVERE STORMS ANCHORED ALONG THE WARM FRONT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
FORECAST AREA...WILL MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ANY AND ALL SEVERE
THREATS...INCLUDING TORNADOES...WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY
EVENING.

AFTER THESE STORMS CLEAR THE AREA...CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED
ADDITIONAL STORMS...BUT CHANCES ARE LOW. SOME FORM OF IMPACT FROM
AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING...EITHER STRATUS OR FOG. IF SKIES CAN CLEAR AND
WINDS ARE SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE 4-6KT EXPECTED...DENSE FOG MAY BE
A THREAT AGAIN...ESPECIALLY WITH PRECONDITIONING IN THE FORM OF
AMPLE RAINFALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TODAY. WILL INCLUDE AREAS
OF FOG IN THE FORECAST FOR LATE TONIGHT AND ALLOW EVENING SHIFT TO
REFINE AS MESOSCALE DETAILS BECOME MORE APPARENT LATE.

WARM SIDE OF GUIDANCE LOOKS GOOD TONIGHT COMPARED TO UPSTREAM
MINS...OWING TO HIGH DEWPOINTS AND CONTINUED CLOUD COVER OR FOG LATE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED AT 340 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2012

WARM UNSTABLE AIRMASS TO REMAIN IN PLACE TOMORROW IN BROAD
SOUTHWEST FLOW. WHILE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LOW LEVEL TRIGGER
MECHANISMS WILL EXIST BEYOND THE POSSIBILITY OF RESIDUAL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES...A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE MAY SKIRT THE NORTHERN PORTION OF
THE AREA IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...AND WILL INSERT
SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE POPS IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS
THROUGH EARLY TOMORROW EVENING. WEAK TO MIDDLING SHEAR SHOULD
LIMIT ANY SEVERE THREAT TO PULSE TYPE STORMS...AND DAY 2 OUTLOOK
AGREES WITH THIS.

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WITH
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM OPPORTUNITIES ACCOMPANYING IT.

ON TEMPS...MOST OF GUIDANCE APPEARS A BIT COOL BASED ON LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS AND 850 TEMP PROGS. WARM MAV LOOKS BETTER AND WAS LEANED
ON HEAVILY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 212 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2012

WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO LINGER THROUGH THE OHIO
VALLEY AND INDIANA DURING THIS PERIOD WHILE THE GFS HINTS AT
RIDGING ALOFT. GFS FAILS TO INDICATE ANY ORGANIZED SHORT WAVE
PASSING THROUGH THE RIDGING ALOFT...THUS CONFIDENCE IN POPS IS
LOW...PARTICULARLY IN THE FIRST PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WHERE
BROAD...BUT WEAK HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO BE SET UP ACROSS
DIXIE...THE OHIO VALLEY AND THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. FOR NOW HAVE
STUCK WITH THE VERY LOW CHANCE POPS VIA ALLBLEND...BUT WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED WITH A TREND TOWARD A DRIER FORECAST AS LITTLE FORCING
APPEARS AVAILABLE.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 020000Z TAF ISSUANCE/...
ISSUED AT 620 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2012

BOUNDARY CREATING TSRA NEAR KIND AT THE MOMENT SHOULD SHIFT NORTH BY
VALID TIME TAKING MOST OF THE TSRA WITH IT. CANNOT RULE OUT
ADDITIONAL TSRA BUT COVERAGE WILL BE TOO LOW TO MENTION IN TAF.
WINDS SHOULD COME AROUND TO SOUTHWEST AT KIND AFTER BOUNDARY MOVES
NORTH NEAR VALID TIME. MEANWHILE SUPERCELL SOUTHWEST OF KLAF LOOKS
TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT...BUT IT MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO
INCLUDE A VCTS MENTION THERE. OTHER SITES SHOULD REMAIN TSRA FREE
THIS EVENING.

MVFR CEILINGS AT KLAF SHOULD LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA EARLY IN THE
PERIOD. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR CEILINGS THIS EVENING THEN SCATTERED
CLOUDS OVERNIGHT AT THE TAF SITES. WITH RECENT RAINS BELIEVE THAT
FOG WILL DEVELOP. WILL INCLUDE LOW END MVFR FOG. DID NOT GO LOWER
THAN MVFR THOUGH AS WINDS LOOK TO STAY UP. HOWEVER IF WINDS DECREASE
MORE THAN EXPECTED...IFR FOG MAY RESULT.

ANY FOG WILL BURN OFF BY 14-15Z WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY
OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST WITH GUSTS NEAR 25KT POSSIBLE. ADDITIONAL TSRA
MAY DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT COVERAGE AND TIMING ARE TOO
UNCERTAIN TO MENTION IN TAFS.
