AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
655 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 245 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY BEFORE
RETURNING NORTHEAST AS A WARM FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST ON
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE LIFTING NORTHEAST AS A WARM FRONT
INTO SOUTHWEST INDIANA EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK AND MORE
CHANCES LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE LATTER FRONT
WILL BRING IN MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND BUT NOT
BEFORE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S OR ABOVE CONTINUE THROUGH
LATE THIS WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 245 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

MAIN ISSUES OF CONCERN FOR CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY ARE THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES...INCLUDING SEVERE POSSIBILITY...AND THE SEEMINGLY NEVER
ENDING HEAT ISSUES.

MODELS IN PRETTY DECENT AGREEMENT ON DROPPING A COLD
FRONT...CURRENTLY ACROSS SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...ACROSS CENTRAL
INDIANA TODAY. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO INTERACT WITH AN UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE AND PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE DAY WITH
THE BEST CHANCES ACROSS NORTHEAST SECTIONS...WHERE THE MOISTURE WILL
BE DEEPER. THIS AREA WILL ALSO BE CLOSER TO THE BETTER UPPER
DYNAMICS AS A 90 PLUS JET STREAK AT 250 MILLIBARS WILL BE NORTHWEST
AND SOUTHEAST ORIENTED ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. GOOD MID
LEVEL FLOW FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ALONG WITH A 30 PLUS KNOT LOW LEVEL
JET WILL BE NEAR OUR NORTHEAST AS WELL. THIS AREA WILL ALSO BE
WITHIN A WARM AIR ADVECTION ZONE WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
LIFT. MIXED LAYER CAPES FROM THE NAM12 SOUNDINGS EXCEED 2500 J/KG
THIS AFTERNOON NEAR THE FRONT. WITH STRONG INSTABILITY AND MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT UPPER DYNAMICS...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW
SEVERE STORMS PER THE SPC DAY1 OUTLOOK ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT.
UNIDIRECTIONAL NORTHWEST FLOW SUGGESTS WIND DAMAGE AND LARGE HAIL
WOULD BE THE MAIN SEVERE THREATS.

AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES LOOK LIKE THEY WILL REACH HEAT ADVISORY
CRITERIA SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON...WHERE MORE SUNSHINE IS
EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDICES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST HALF
OR SO OF THE FORECAST WILL BE MORE PROBLEMATIC AND DEPEND ON THE
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER AND HOW
FAR SOUTHWEST THE FRONT MAKES IT. BEST BET IS TOO STICK CLOSER
TO...BUT A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER THEN THE WARMER NAM MOS SOUTHWEST
AND NEAR THE NAM MOS NORTHEAST. AT ANY RATE...WILL GO WITH A HEAT
ADVISORY STARTING AT NOON ACROSS SOME OF OUR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES
AND CONTINUE IT THROUGH WEDNESDAY THERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 245 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

THE FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES AS THE COLD FRONT TODAY IS EXPECTED
TO LIFT BACK NORTH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY BEFORE
ANOTHER APPROACHES DROPS SOUTHEAST TO LAKE MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN
ILLINOIS OVERNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT PER THE MORE CONSISTENT 12Z ECMWF
AND THE 00Z GFS AND GEFS. AGAIN...PLENTY OF INSTABILITY THROUGH THE
PERIOD...BUT BEST CHANCES APPEAR TO BE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
AS THE LATTER FRONT GETS CLOSER AND IS HELPED ALONG BY FAST ZONAL
OR NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW AROUND THE BASE OF AN UPPER LOW THAT IS
EXPECTED TO OPEN UP OVER THE NORTHERN WISCONSIN AND LAKE SUPERIOR
VICINITY EARLY FRIDAY. WILL STICK WITH GOOD CHANCE POPS FOR THIS
TIME PERIOD. LOWEST POPS LOOK TO BE LATE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS THE FIRST FRONT LIFTS NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND
700 MILLIBAR TEMPERATURES AROUND 12 DEGREES SUGGEST THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL BE CAPPED. AFTER COORDINATION WITH ADJACENT OFFICES...WILL
GO DRY FOR THAT TIME PERIOD.

WITH THE FORECAST AREA IN THE WARM SECTOR ON WEDNESDAY...SHOULD SEE
A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE. ALSO...850 MILLIBAR TEMPERATURES ARE
PROGGED TO BE AROUND 26 DEGREES CELSIUS. THIS SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO APPROACH TRIPLE DIGITS NORTHEAST AND EASILY EXCEED
100 DEGREES SOUTHWEST PER THE HOTTER 00Z NAM MOS. THE 00Z GFS MOS
AGAIN LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE DROUGHT RELATED LACK
OF VEGETATIVE MOISTURE AVAILABLE. DESPITE CONVECTIVE MIXING OF
DRIER AIR TO THE SURFACE...DEW POINTS IN THE WARM SECTOR HAVE
STAYED UP TO MID AND UPPER 60S OF LATE. SO...TEMPERATURES 100
DEGREES AND ABOVE ALONG WITH MID AND UPPER 60S DEW POINTS WILL
RESULT IN HEAT INDICES NEAR 105 WHICH IS ENOUGH TO GO WITH A HEAT
ADVISORY WEDNESDAY FROM NOON TO 8 ACROSS ALL THE COUNTIES THAT ARE
NOT IN THE ONE FOR TODAY. WOULDN'T RULE OUT ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY ON
THURSDAY...BUT FOR NOW...WITH COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND CLOUD
COVER STILL A BIT UP IN THE AIR...WILL WITHHOLD HEADLINES.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 241 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

GUIDANCE IN DECENT AGREEMENT EARLY IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD WITH A
COLD FRONT HAVING EXITED THE AREA...AND A TRAILING UPPER WAVE ON
ITS WAY OUT AS WELL. WILL HAVE LOW POPS INITIALLY WITH THIS
WAVE...FOLLOWED BY A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER AS A SURFACE HIGH
TRAVERSES THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT TRHOUGH SUNDAY. INITIALIZATION
REINTRODUCES POPS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD
WITH HINTS OF AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE ROUNDING THE RIDGE TO THE WEST.
WITH GREATER UNCERTAINTY AND MODEL DISCREPANCY REGARDING THIS
PERIOD...HAVE CUT INITIALIZATION POPS TO NO MORE THAN 30 PERCENT.

INCREASED MAX TEMPS ACROSS THE BOARD A DEGREE OR SO...AS ALLBLEND
HAS ROUTINELY SUFFERED FROM A BIT OF A COOL BIAS LIKELY OWING TO
GFS INFLUENCE.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 24/12Z TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 655 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS.

SOME CONVECTION HAS BEEN IN THE AREA THIS MORNING...AND RAP/HRRR
INDICATE POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT THIS MORNING. IN
ADDITION...COMPLEX OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS MAY APPROACH THE SITES BY
LATE MORNING. WITH MAJOR UNCERTAINTY REGARDING SURVIVAL/DEVELOPMENT
AS WELL AS TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS...CANNOT JUSTIFY
MORE THAN A VCTS/CB FOR THE MOMENT. WILL CONTINUE THUNDER AS A
PROB30 TONIGHT AS BOUNDARY REMAINS IN THE AREA AND AT LEAST A LOW
THREAT OF TS WILL REMAIN AS WELL.

MAY SEE SOME RESTRICTIONS IN FOG OVERNIGHT WHERE PRECIPITATION
OCCURS...BUT TOO UNCERTAIN FOR INCLUSION NOW.

WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE BELOW 10KT THROUGH THE PERIOD.
