AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
646 AM EDT FRI SEP 7 2012

.AVIATION...
12Z TAFS...WEST SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET AND ASSOCIATED WARM
ADVECTION HAS LED TO AN INCREASING AREA OF SHOWERS AN EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN IOWA INTO NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS. AS
LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO VEER...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE
MAY START TO WEAKEN AND THUS CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN MAINTAINING
CURRENT COVERAGE TO THIS PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA.
WILL MAINTAIN PREVAILING SHOWER MENTION AT KSBN BY 15Z GIVEN
CURRENT TRENDS WITH BETTER CHANE OF THUNDER LIKELY REMAINING SOUTH
OF KSBN THIS MORNING. BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
STILL APPEARS TO BE INLINE FOR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT EXTENT TO THIS
ACTIVITY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF DESTABILIZATION THAT CAN
OCCUR IN WAKE OF LINGERING MORNING ACTIVITY. WILL MAINTAIN AFTER
TSRA TEMPO AT BOTH TERMINALS GIVEN LARGE SCALE UPPER SUPPORT
INCREASING WITH APPROACHING UPPER MIDWEST UPPER TROUGH. WIDESPREAD
RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS FOR TONIGHT AS STRONG LOW/MID
LEVEL FRONT MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. A PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE TONIGHT...BUT WILL MAINTAIN TREND OF PREVIOUS TAF TOWARD
LOWER END MVFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 410 AM EDT FRI SEP 7 2012/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING ALONG WITH
TREND TO MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST ITEMS
FOR THE SHORT TERM.

SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE CORN
BELT WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW LOW LEVEL THETAE RIDGE TO SURGE
NORTHEASTWARD THIS MORNING INTO THE MID MS RIVER VALLEY AND
EVENTUALLY INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION THIS AFTERNOON.
ELEVATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST FEW
HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN IOWA...AND WOULD SUSPECT
THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD INTO NORTHERN
ILLINOIS AND EVENTUALLY WESTERN INDIANA LATER THIS MORNING AS LOW
LEVEL JET VEERS MORE WESTERLY. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE SHOULD
TEND TO WEAKEN AS THIS LOW LEVEL JET VEERS HOWEVER LENDING TO SOME
QUESTION AS TO EXTENT OF THESE SHOWERS/STORMS ACROSS LOCAL AREA BY
THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS. HAVE CONTINUED WITH CHANCE POPS THIS
MORNING AND MAINLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF.

A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL WAVE CENTERED ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MANITOBA
EARLY THIS MORNING WILL DROP INTO MINNESOTA/NORTHWEST WISCONSIN THIS
AFTERNOON INDUCING CYCLOGENESIS ACROSS CENTRAL IL/WEST CENTRAL
INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION ASSOCIATED
WITH LOW LEVEL WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY AID IN ADDITIONAL SCATTERED
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SEVERAL
SMALLER SCALE SHORT WAVES EJECTING INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES
REGION IN PROGRESSIVE WESTERLY UPPER FLOW DOWNSTREAM OF PRIMARY
SHORT WAVE. INCREASING LARGE SCALE FORCING THIS AFTERNOON AND
MATURING FRONTAL CIRCULATION SHOULD ENHANCE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON.

STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL FLOW AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 40
TO 50 KNOTS CONTINUES TO SUGGEST FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR CONVECTIVE
ORGANIZATION TODAY WITH MAIN QUESTION ON SEVERE POTENTIAL ON
MAGNITUDE OF DESTABILIZATION THIS AFTERNOON. SOME CONCERN THAT
ELEVATED MULTICELLULAR ACTIVITY MOVING INTO THE AREA LATER THIS
MORNING COULD RESULT IN REMNANT MID/HIGH CLOUD COVER THAT COULD
LIMIT OR DELAY DESTABILIZATION UNTIL THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST SURFACE BASED CAPES ON
THE ORDER OF 1500-2500 J/KG. IF THIS DESTABILIZATION CAN
OCCUR...BACKGROUND SHEAR AND INCREASING MID/UPPER FORCING SHOULD
ALLOW FOR RAPID CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION TO AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT.
OTHER COMPLICATION FOR THIS FORECAST BESIDES THE MAGNITUDE OF
INSTABILITY CENTERS ON HOW FAR NORTH WARM FRONT IS ABLE TO PROGRESS.
IT STILL APPEARS AS THOUGH LOW LEVEL WARM FRONT WILL PUT ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA IN WARM SECTOR FOR A TIME THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WITH BACKGROUND SHEAR SUPPORTIVE OF
SUPERCELLUALR STRUCTURES IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN BE
REALIZED...WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION ISOLD TORNADO POTENTIAL IN HWO.
0-3 KM SHEAR ALSO TO INCREASE TO AROUND 30 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON
WHICH COULD ALSO SUPPORT SOME SMALLER SCALE MESOVORTICES. SEVERE
THREAT SOMEWHAT MORE QUESTIONABLE ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST WHERE
MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY IS EVEN MORE CONDITIONAL.

RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDER TO CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT
SEVERE POTENTIAL SHOULD SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA BY LATE EVENING.
STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS...DEEPENING UPPER SYSTEM...AND
PWATS UP AROUND 1.75 INCHES COULD PROVIDE SOME HEFTY RAINFALL
AMOUNTS IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE FOR SOME LOCATIONS. LAKE EFFECT
RAIN SHOWERS TO BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AFTER MIDNIGHT BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT WITH ENOUGH LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY FOR CHANCE
THUNDER/WATERSPOUT MENTION. LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS SHOULD PERSIST INTO
SATURDAY WITH ANOTHER REINFORCING UPPER TROUGH EXPECTED TO DIVE INTO
THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. THUS...HAVE MAINTAINED
CHANCE -RW POPS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
NORTH. HIGHS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 BEHIND THE
FRONT SATURDAY.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

REMARKABLY QUIET WEATHER IN STORE FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD AS A
BROAD LONGWAVE RIDGE ANCHORS ITSELF OVER THE EASTERN CONUS FOR MUCH
OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. MIDLEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL BE SHIFTING
NORTHEAST OF THE REGION ON SUNDAY AS SECONDARY VORTICITY MAX ROTATES
AROUND THE BASE OF THE MEAN TROUGH. MODELS IN RELATIVELY GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE PRESSURE TROUGH AND BAND OF
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL BE SHIFTING OVERHEAD AROUND 12Z SUNDAY
MORNING. GIVEN THIS AND SOME LINGERING LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY...
CANT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS OVER OUR NORTHWEST ZONES
SUNDAY MORNING. DRY AIR AND SUBSIDENCE WILL FILTER IN QUICKLY THOUGH
AND EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS EVERYWHERE BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. 850MB
TEMPS REMAINING IN THE SINGLE DIGITS COMBINED WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF
CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP HIGHS ON SUNDAY IN THE LOW 70S. LOW LEVEL
RIDGE AXIS WILL THEN SHIFT OVERHEAD DURING THE DAY MONDAY. WHILE
THERMAL PROFILES WILL ONLY MODERATE SLIGHTLY...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
WILL HELP PUSH HIGH TEMPS UP BY A FEW DEGREES INTO THE MID 70S.
AFTER ONE LAST NIGHT OF LOWS AROUND 50F...SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS IN
EARNEST ON TUESDAY AS 850MB TEMPS SURGE INTO THE MID TO UPPER TEENS.
THIS WILL SUPPORT HIGHS AROUND 80F FOR THE MIDWEEK PERIOD WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS AROUND 60F. WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL ENCROACH
UPON THE AREA BY THURSDAY BUT STRONG SOUTHEAST CONUS RIDGE WILL
LIKELY BLOCK ANY RAIN OVER OUR AREA UNTIL FRIDAY.&&
