AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
414 AM EDT THU AUG 9 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT

A BIG PATTERN CHANGE IS IN THE WORKS THIS PERIOD AS A STRONG PV
ANOMALY AND 100 KT PLUS UPPER JET DIGS INTO THE UPPER
MIDWEST...HELPING TO CARVE OUT AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG/DEEP 500 MB
LOW OVER THE SRN GREAT LAKES BY TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. INCREASING
ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH A CONVECTIVELY
MODIFIED LEAD SHORTWAVE OVER ILLINOIS WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDER ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING...BEST
CHANCES ACROSS THE FAR NORTH NEAR A STRONGER 85-7H FRONTOGENETICAL
RESPONSE AND SOUTHEASTERN ZONES (INCLUDING PORTLAND/LIMA/VAN WERT)
WHERE POSSIBLE MCV COMING OUT OF CONVECTION ALONG THE SFC CDFNT
MAY ALLOW FOR MORE WIDESPREAD PCPN TO GET INTO THESE AREAS.

SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEAD SHORTWAVE ENERGY SHOULD SHIFT
MAINLY EAST/NORTH OF THE AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH ATTENTION
TURNING TO POSSIBLE STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION INTO THE EVENING.
POSSIBLE PARTIAL CLEARING BACK ACROSS ILLINOIS...MAINLY FROM
SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE IL/CENTRAL IN CONVECTIVE COMPLEX...MAY ALLOW
THE SFC FRONT AND ASSOCIATED MODERATE SFC BASED INSTABILITY TO MIX
NORTH INTO SW PORTIONS OF OUR INDIANA COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON. IF THE
FRONT CAN MIX THIS FAR NORTH...WHICH IS VERY UNCERTAIN
ATTM...SCATTERED SFC BASED CONVECTION WOULD LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE
OUR SW AND GROW UPSCALE/ORGANIZE INTO NE INDIANA AND NW OHIO LATE
AFTN/EVENING. SPC HAS THESE AREAS HIGHLIGHTED IN A SLIGHT RISK
WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND FORCING DEFINITELY SUPPORTIVE FOR
ORGANIZATION AND A HAIL/DAMAGING WIND THREAT. WILL CONTINUE TO
MENTION THIS THREAT IN THE HWO BUT NOT INCLUDE IN THE GRIDS/ZONES
AS THINK THE BETTER CHANCE FOR SEVERE WX WILL RESIDE SOUTH OF THE
FA...AS CLOUDS/SHOWERS WITH THE LEAD SHORTWAVE KEEP THE SFC
BOUNDARY AND ANY SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION JUST
SOUTH OF THE FA.

THE ABOVE MENTIONED HIGHLY ANOMALOUS CLOSED UPPER LOW THAT WILL BE
SETTING UP SHOP OVER THE SRN GREAT LAKES BY LATER TONIGHT INTO
FRIDAY WILL SUPPORT A DEEPENING SFC LOW PROGGED TO TRACK NORTHEAST
THROUGH OHIO AND INTO SE ONTARIO DURING THIS TIME. THE DEVELOPING
DEFORMATION ZONE/TROWAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE POSITIVE PV ANOMALY WILL
LIKELY PIVOT THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
MORNING...POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS
NORTHWEST OHIO/SC LOWER MI. A SHOWERY/RAW/CLOUDY DAY IS EXPECTED
UNDER THIS UPPER LOW ON FRIDAY WITH HIGHS POSSIBLY NOT REACHING THE
70S. HEAVIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED JUST NORTH OF THE FA
WITH COVERAGE OF SHOWERS MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE ACROSS THE
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. THE OTHER INTERESTING NOTE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS FAR NW
INDIANA/SW LOWER MI AS 850 DELTA T/S EXCEED 15C WITH STRONG NNW
LOW LVL TRAJECTORIES EXPECTED.
