Special Weather Statement, NWS Indianapolis, IN

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
530 AM EST FRI MAR 2 2012

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO LOWER MICHIGAN
TODAY...BRINGING SEVERE WEATHER TO THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY ALONG WITH
GUSTY WINDS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL THEN MOVE
IN FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH A WEAK SYSTEM BRINGING A CHANCE FOR RAIN
AND SNOW SUNDAY.

WARMER WEATHER WILL RETURN DURING NEXT WEEK...WITH CHANCES FOR RAIN
RETURNING BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...

...SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...

MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS
THE AREA. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN AS IT MOVES FROM MISSOURI TO
LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE DAY. THIS WILL PUSH A WARM FRONT NORTH
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THIS MORNING.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BREAK OUT THIS MORNING AND SPREAD
SOUTH TO NORTH WITH THE WARM FRONT AS STRONG WARM ADVECTION OCCURS
WITH THE FRONT. CONVECTION THIS MORNING WILL REMAIN ELEVATED...BUT
WOULD NOT RULE OUT SOME HAIL WITH THESE STORMS WITH LOW WET BULB
ZERO HEIGHTS. WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE POPS THIS MORNING FROM SOUTH
TO NORTH...WITH MOST AREAS SEEING LIKELY POPS BY 18Z.

THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LOW MOVES INTO NORTHERN INDIANA...THE FORECAST
AREA SHOULD GET INTO THE WARM SECTOR. THERE ARE STILL SOME CONCERNS
ABOUT HOW WELL CLOUDS WILL BREAK UP AND EXACTLY HOW MUCH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE BECOMES AVAILABLE. HOWEVER IT STILL LOOKS LIKE MEASURABLE
RAIN IS A GOOD BET SO DID NOT DEVIATE MUCH FROM THE MOS CATEGORICAL
POPS THIS AFTERNOON ALL AREAS.

PARAMETERS LOOK FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA. 0-1KM HELICITY VALUES REACH INTO THE
100-300 RANGE THIS AFTERNOON. NAM/GFS ENERGY-HELICITY INDEX VALUES
GET INTO THE 1 TO 3 RANGE...ALSO INDICATING TORNADO POTENTIAL.

ALSO A LOW LEVEL JET MOVES INTO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...ADDING TO
THE WIND DAMAGE POTENTIAL. SPC HAS PLACED MUCH OF THE AREA IN A
MODERATE RISK...AND THIS LOOKS REASONABLE. AGAIN THE BIGGEST THREAT
LOOKS TO BE IN THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE AREA WHERE MOST FACTORS
LINE UP THE BEST.

MAIN TIMING FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE FROM 100 PM TO 700
PM...BUT WOULD NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SEVERE HAIL REPORTS PRIOR TO
THAT.

OTHER ISSUE TODAY IS THE WINDS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. AS NOTED EARLIER A LOW LEVEL JET MOVES INTO THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON...AND MIXING SHOULD OCCUR IN THE WARM SECTOR. IN
ADDITION...STRONG PRESSURE RISES OCCUR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. BUFKIT MOMENTUM TRANSFER INDICATES GUSTS AROUND 40KT
POSSIBLE. THUS WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...CONTINUING INTO EVENING.

FOR TEMPERATURES...STUCK CLOSER TO THE WARMER MAV AS THE AREA SHOULD
GET INTO THE WARM SECTOR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

FOCUS IS ON WIND/RAIN EARLY THEN ON CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION LATE
IN THE PERIOD. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT EARLY BUT DIFFER SOME
WITH SUNDAY/S SYSTEM. TOOK A BLEND THERE AS UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH
ENOUGH NOT TO FAVOR ONE SOLUTION OVER ANOTHER.

THE STRONG PRESSURE RISES /OVER 10MB IN 6 HOURS/ WILL OCCUR INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. BUFKIT STILL SHOWS GUSTS 35-40KT EARLY. THUS WILL
CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 03Z.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD END QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT...AND WRAP-AROUND
MOISTURE SHOULD STAY MAINLY NORTH OF THE AREA. THUS FEEL CHANCES FOR
RAIN AFTER 00Z ARE LOW. MOS POPS ARE BELOW 20 PERCENT. WILL CARRY
LOW POPS FOR A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING JUST IN CASE SOMETHING
LINGERS...BUT BELIEVE MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN DRY AFTER 00Z.

DRY AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WILL THEN PERSIST FOR
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. A WEAK CLIPPER-LIKE SYSTEM WILL DIVE
SOUTHEAST IN THE SUNDAY-SUNDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME. WITH UNCERTAINTIES
IN LOCATION AND TIMING DECIDED JUST TO GO WITH LOW POPS BOTH
PERIODS. WENT RAIN AND SNOW MOST AREAS SUNDAY AND THEN JUST SNOW
SUNDAY NIGHT GIVEN EXPECTED THERMAL PROFILES.

FOR TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY STUCK WITH A MODEL BLEND AS THIS WORKS
WELL GIVEN EXPECTED CONDITIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

MAIN CHALLENGE TO THE EXTENDED WILL BE WHETHER TO KEEP POPS IN
MONDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST OF CENTRAL INDIANA AND ALSO
POPS AND QPF STARTING WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

DECIDED TO PULL SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON MONDAY PER THE CENTRAL
REGIONAL INITIALIZATION EXTENDED AS ALL THE EXTENDED 00Z MODEL RUNS
NOW HAVE THE TROUGH WELL EAST OF CENTRAL INDIANA ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
SEABOARD BY 00Z TUESDAY WITH RIDGING BUILDING IN ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY. IN ADDITION...THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND MOISTURE IS NOT
IMPRESSIVE.

THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK CONTINUES TO LOOK DRY WITH FAST SOUTHWEST
FLOW DEVELOPING. IN ADDITION...IT SHOULD BE WARMER EACH DAY WITH
THERMAL RIDGE EXTENDING NORTHEAST FROM TEXAS TO THE OHIO VALLEY AND
GREAT LAKES BY WEDNESDAY. 1000-850 MILLIBAR THICKNESSES AND
850 TEMPERATURES APPROACH 1350 METERS AND 6 DEGREES CELSIUS
RESPECTIVELY ON WEDNESDAY. THE CR INITIALIZATION REFLECTS THIS
NICELY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY BECOMING MILD
ALREADY BY TUESDAY.

FINALLY...THE 00Z ECMWF IS NOW TRENDING TOWARDS THE GFS AND GFS
ENSEMBLES WITH A CUTOFF LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES BY
MIDWEEK...MOVING INTO WEST TEXAS ON THURSDAY. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF IS
A BIT FURTHER SOUTH AND CONTINUES TO ALLOW A SHARP UPPER TROUGH TO
MOVE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES OVER THE WEEKEND AND
CONSEQUENTLY PUSHES A COLD FRONT THROUGH ON THURSDAY...WHILE THE GFS
ONLY HAS AN INVERTED TROUGH WELL WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA AT THAT
TIME. EITHER WAY...MODELS HAVE QPF ACROSS PARTS OR ALL OF CENTRAL
INDIANA WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. HOWEVER...THE QUICKER AND
STRONGER SURFACE REFLECTION OF THE EURO FAVORS MORE QPF. AT THIS
TIME...DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BEYOND MONDAY FROM THE INITIALIZATION
DUE TO BIG MODEL SYNOPTIC DIFFERENCES WHICH LEADS TO LOW CONFIDENCE
NOT ONLY WITH POPS AND QPF BUT ALSO WITH TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY...
AS THE ECMWF IS BRINGING IN COLDER POST FRONTAL AIR...WHILE THE
GFS...AS STATED EARLIER...IS SLOWER AND NOT AS STRONG WITH THE
SURFACE PATTERN.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 02/1200Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS
AND NORTHERN INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG DYNAMICS IN THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL RESULT IN NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE...AND
HIGH GRADIENT WINDS BEHIND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT THAT SHOULD
REACH HUF AND NEAR A TRIPLE POINT AT LAF AROUND 20Z AND IND AND BMG
AROUND 22Z THIS AFTERNOON. WILL ALSO LIKELY SEE VFR CEILINGS BECOME
MVFR AS THE STORMS MOVE IN WHICH SHOULD BE AFTER 14Z NEAR THE WARM
FRONT. LAF FURTHER AWAY FROM THE FRONT MAY NOT SEE ANY ACTIVITY
UNTIL AFTER 16Z. BASED ON RADAR TRENDS...WOULDN'T RULE OUT A STORM
FROM 12Z-14Z AT BMG. THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END AT FRONTAL
PASSAGE AS DRIER AIR WORKS IT WAY IN EXEPT PERHAPS AT LAF...WHERE
SHOWERS COULD LINGER THROUGH AROUND 03Z IN THE WRAPAROUND PART OF
THE SYSTEM. WILL START OFF WITH SHOWERS AND VCTS FROM THE ONSET AND
THEN GO WITH TEMPO MVFR THUNDERSTORMS ABOUT 3 HOURS PRIOR TO
EXPECTED FRONTAL PASSAGE. MAY EVENTUALLY NEED TO ADD THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE PREVAILING GROUP AS VERY STRONG UPPER DYNAMICS AND SUFFUCIENT
INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE.

THOUGHT ABOUT MENTIONING LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THIS MORNING TO THE
NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WITH STRONG INVERSION...HOWEVER IT LOOKS TO
MARGINAL AT THIS TIME. BUFKIT SUGGESTS SURFACE WINDS SUSTAINED TO
MORE THAN 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND
THEN WEST FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. WINDS WILL DROP
OFF A BIT AFTER 03Z...BUT STILL LOOK TO BE AROUND 15 KNOTS WITH
GUSTS TO 22 KNOTS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY. COULD ALSO SEE GUSTY WINDS
WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS...SO ADDED TEMPO 40 KNOT GUSTS FROM THE
SOUTHWEST JUST PRIOR TO FRONTAL PASSAGE. FINALLY...SOUNDINGS ALSO
SUGGEST THERE COULD BE SOME BORDERLING VFR AND MVFR CLOUDS HANGING
AROUND THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT FOR NOW WILL GO OPTIMISTIC WITH A
SCATTERED VFR DECK.
