AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
429 PM EDT TUE JUL 17 2012

.UPDATE...

AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 350 PM EDT TUE JUL 17 2012

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS THE DOMINANT FORCE OVER THE
AREA...WITH HOT CONDITIONS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD
FRONT WILL SAG TOWARD THE AREA TOMORROW INTO THURSDAY...MOVING
SOUTH OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY EVENING. THIS WILL BRING SOME RELIEF
FROM THE HEAT LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE
WEEKEND...AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND STORMS. THE RIDGE BEGINS TO RESTRENGTHEN LATE IN THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHICH WILL ONCE AGAIN RETURN WIDESPREAD 90
DEGREE TEMPERATURES TO THE FORECAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 350 PM EDT TUE JUL 17 2012

OVERNIGHT...ASIDE FROM ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL LINGER
INTO THE EARLY HOURS OF THE OVERNIGHT...EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS AND
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN AIRMASS BEYOND A SLIGHT
WARMING AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN DEWPOINTS...TEMPS SHOULD BOTTOM
OUT A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE PERSISTENCE...AND WENT WITH THIS RATHER
THAN MOS WHICH LOOKS SEVERAL DEGREES TOO COOL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED AT 350 PM EDT TUE JUL 17 2012

ONCE AGAIN WEDNESDAY...HOT CONDITIONS WILL BE THE RULE. SOME
ADDITIONAL UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO TEMPERATURES AS STORM
CHANCES MAY BE SLIGHTLY BETTER AS THE BOUNDARY SAGS TOWARD THE
AREA...BUT WITH GUIDANCE NOW SLOWING UP THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION
OF THE FRONT...EXPECT THAT TEMPS AT OR JUST ABOVE PERSISTENCE ARE
A GOOD BET. THIS ONCE AGAIN YIELDS MID 90S TO AROUND 100...AND
HEAT INDICES WELL INTO THE 105 RANGE AROUND THE AREA. MIDNIGHT
SHIFT EXTENDED HEAT ADVISORY THROUGH TOMORROW...AND THIS IS A GOOD
PLAN TO KEEP.

BOUNDARY SAGS INTO THE AREA ON THURSDAY...BUT GIVEN THAT
MODELS...EVEN THE NAM WHICH HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY MORE RELIABLE
THAN THE GFS FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW...APPEAR TO BE FAIRLY
BULLISH ON PRECIP FOR BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF EXTREME
DROUGHT...HAVE GONE ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE BY SEVERAL DEGREES
THURSDAY...AND AGAIN ON FRIDAY BUT TO NOT QUITE THE SAME EXTENT.
ADDITIONALLY...HAVE GONE TOWARD THE LOWER END ON POPS...NOT HIGHER
THAN 40 PERCENT...GIVEN LENGTHY RECENT TREND OF SYSTEMS STRUGGLING
TO PRODUCE PRECIP OVER THE AREA. WHILE THIS WOULD APPEAR AT FIRST
GLANCE TO OFFER OUR BEST SHOT AT PRECIPITATION IN SOME TIME...THAT
IS NOT SAYING MUCH...AND EVEN WITH SCATTERED COVERAGE IS UNLIKELY
TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DENT IN ONGOING DROUGHT.

ON LOW TEMPS...CONTINUED TREND OF BUMPING UP GUIDANCE WITH AT
LEAST SOME CLOUD COVER LIKELY TO PERSIST DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. THIS AGREES WELL WITH RECENT TRENDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 253 PM EDT TUE JUL 17 2012

THE MAIN FOCUS ON THE EXTENDED WILL BE TEMPERATURES AS THE DROUGHT
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH ONLY SPARCE RAIN CHANCES LOOKING LIKE
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS THE PLAINS UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS ALLOWING
A SHORT WAVE TO DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA AND A FRONT TO
TAKE SHOP ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES.

WITH THE EXTENDED MOS CONTINUING TO HAVE A COLD DAYTIME AND WARM
NIGHTTIME BIAS DUE TO THE DROUGHT...FAVOR DAYTIME TEMPERATURES A FEW
DEGREES WARMER THAN THE MEN MOS AND A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER THAN THE
CENTRAL REGION INITIALIZATION. FAVOR THE OPPOSITE AT NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 172100Z KIND TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 429 PM EDT TUE JUL 17 2012

MINOR TWEAKS MADE TO KIND TAF PER OBSERVATIONS. NO OTHER CHANGES
NEEDED AT THIS TIME. PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SLOWLY SOUTH INTO NORTHERN INDIANA THURSDAY
AFTERNOON WHICH IS EXPECTED TO TRIGGER AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. FOR NOW WILL JUST THROW A PROB30 IN AFTER
15Z AT ALL THE SITES. OTHERWISE...DRY GROUNDS SHOULD ONCE AGAIN KEEP
FOG FROM FORMING DESPITE SOUTHWEST WINDS NEAR 10 KNOTS BECOMING
LIGHT TO CALM TONIGHT...AND ANY DIURNAL CU CEILINGS WILL BE VFR.
