AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
330 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

.UPDATE...
SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM AND SHORT TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED
BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SWING
ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING...BRINGING SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. DRY AND COOLER WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE LATER TONIGHT
AND THIS WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE GREAT LAKES
SATURDAY AND INTO THE EASTERN OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY.   FARTHER AHEAD
MODELS KEEP US UNDER A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK
AS STRONG UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND A BROAD
UPPER TROUGH REMAINS OVER EASTERN CANADA AND THE NORTHEAST U.S.  A
SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS OUR REGION MUCH OF THE
EXTENDED KEEPING US UNDER LOW CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

RAPID REFRESH INDICATES THUNDERSTORMS WILL END RAPIDLY WEST TO EAST
THIS EVENING.  IN FACT ONLY FAR EAST AND SOUTHEAST SECTIONS MAY SEE
PRECIP AFTER 8 PM AND EVEN THERE IT WILL END IN A FEW HOURS.

HAVE UPGRADED THE GRIDS TO PLAY UP THREAT OF SEVERE OVER THE
EASTERN 2/3 OF OUR REGION...BUT MOST OF THIS WILL OCCUR BEFORE 800
PM EDT.

OVERNIGHT EXPECT DECREASING CLOUDS OVER MOST AREAS...ALTHOUGH SOME
MODELS INDICATE SOME CLOUDINESS MAY SPREAD BACK IN ACROSS OUR NORTH
AND EAST OVERNIGHT.   AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED...WENT
WITH A MOS BLEND MOST AREAS.  NORTHEAST SECTIONS COULD BE A LITTLE
WARMER WHERE MORE CLOUDS REMAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

ISSUED AT 3330 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

QUIET WEATHER AND NOT AS HOT CONDITIONS WILL BE THE RULE THIS
WEEKEND AS COOLER AND DRY AIR SPREADS ACROSS OUR REGION. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY AND INTO THE
EASTERN OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY.  MODELS BRING A WEAK AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  PREFER THE GEM AND GFS
MODELS AS THE NAM SEEMS MUCH TOO STRONG WITH THIS LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WHICH EVENTUALLY MOVES TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY BY MONDAY.

MAIN ADJUSTMENTS THIS WEEKEND WILL BE TO GO WITH WARMER MET NUMBERS
AS GFS AND MAV HAVE HAD A STRONG COLD BIAS SO FAR THIS SEASON.  SOME
MODELS INDICATE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER WITH HIGH PRESSURE NEAR BY THIS MAY BE A BIT
QUICK.  WILL KEEP EVERYTHING DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND BRING IN 20
TO 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF PRECIP LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND 30 PERCENT MOST
AREAS MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

ISSUED AT 258 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

FORECAST CONCERNS REGARD TIMING OF PRECIPITATION EVENTS. OVERALL
PATTERN SLOWLY EVOLVING WITH WESTERN RIDGE FLATTENING SOME MEANING
EXTREME HEAT LIKE THIS WEEK IS NOT LIKELY NEXT WEEK. DESPITE
THIS...STILL FORECASTING 90S FOR MOST AREAS MOST DAYS BUT ONLY
LOWER 90S VS UPPER 90S. CONTINUATION OF WEAK SHORTWAVES COMING
DOWN RIDGE MEANS CONTINUED CHANCES FOR STORMS. WOULD NOT CONSIDER
RAIN THREATS THAT GREAT HOWEVER SINCE WEAK SURFACE RIDGING REMAINS
OVER GULF AND ITS MOISTURE IS NOT BEING STEERED OUR DIRECTION.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 271800Z TAFS/...

ISSUED AT 1259 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...VFR EXPECTED THROUGH FIRST HALF OF TAF
PERIOD. SOME POSSIBILITY OF MVFR OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY.

FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SITES IN THE FIRST 6 OR SO HOURS OF THE
AF PERIOD...KEEPING SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA. WILL
HANDLE WITH VCTS FOR NOW UNLESS BETTER COVERAGE CAN BE SEEN. WINDS
WILL SHIFT TO NORTHWEST BY THIS EVENING AND WILL BE GUSTY THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON.

AS COLDER AIR WORKS IN...SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL WORK INTO THE
NORTHERN SITES OVERNIGHT /MOISTURE CAN BE CURRENTLY SEEN AS CU FIELD
ACROSS IOWA/WISCONSIN/. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME LOW CLOUDS OR FOG TO
FORM...BUT WITH DRY GROUND HELPING ERODE SOME OF THIS MOISTURE...NOT
CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PUT IN THE MVFR CONDITIONS GIVEN BY MODELS. WILL
JUST PUT 6SM IN FOR NOW.

SATURDAY SHOULD BE VFR /ANY FOG WILL BURN OFF QUICKLY/.
