Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 3:55 AM EDT, 1 hour 45 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
355 AM EDT SUN AUG 5 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT

SFC FRONTAL WAVE WILL BRING SHOWERS/STORMS TO MAINLY SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN ZONES THIS MORNING. CONVECTION HAS GOTTEN A KICK FROM A
SUBTLE SHORTWAVE THAT PROPAGATED OUT OF KANSAS LATE LAST EVENING AND
FROM RRQ UPPER JET DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH A 100-110 KT UPPER JET
LIFTING THROUGH WISCONSIN AND THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES AHEAD OF A
SHARP TROUGH AXIS. ALSO...A WEAK SFC LOW HAS TAKEN SHAPE IN EC IL AS
OF 7Z PER INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT AND SIG LATENT HEAT RELEASE
ASSOCIATED WITH OVERNIGHT STL AREA MCS. LOW LVL THETA-E ADVECTION
BACK INTO THE FA AHEAD OF THIS SFC REFLECTION...WITHIN A ~35 KT
LLJ...WILL HELP SUSTAIN CONVECTION THROUGH THE AREA. DECENT DEEP
LAYER SHEAR FOR ORGANIZATION IS IN PLACE THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH
NO REAL CONCERN OUTSIDE OF ISO PEA SIZE HAIL/WIND GUSTS TO 30-40
MPH GIVEN MEAGER MID LVL LAPSE RATES AND MUCAPE ONLY 750-1000
J/KG. THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR LOCALIZED HVY RAIN/URBAN FLOODING
WITH PWATS NEAR 2 INCHES AND A DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYER. LATEST HI
RES GUIDANCE SEEMS TO HAVE A DECENT HANDLE ON PLACEMENT/TIMING SO
USED A MODEL BLEND FOR TIMING/PLACEMENT OF HIGHER POPS.

ANY RAINFALL SHOULD EXIT TO THE SOUTHEAST BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS
WINDS VEER NORTHWESTERLY AND MUCH DRIER AIR ADVECTS SOUTH INTO THE
AREA. HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON ARE PROBLEMATIC GIVEN DEEP POST
FRONTAL MIXING AND SLIGHT UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING AMOUNT/TIMING OF
CLEARING ACROSS SERN ZONES. WITH SLIGHT LAG IN COOLER TEMPS ALOFT
AND DEEP MIXING (WITH FULL SUN BY AFTN IN THE NW AND PARTIAL CLEARING
SE) CONTINUED TO FAVOR WARMER GUIDANCE.

SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH LINGERING LIGHT NW FLOW ALOFT. SKIES WILL
BE MAINLY CLEAR BOTH TONIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT/VARIABLE
WINDS. RESULTING OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING...ESPECIALLY NW AREAS
TONIGHT AND SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT...SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO PLUMMET IN
THIS DRY CP AIRMASS. TRENDED TEMPS EACH NIGHT CLOSER TO COOLER MOS.
MORE SHALLOW MIXING UNDER SFC HIGH TO NEAR 900 MB ON MONDAY SHOULD
GENERALLY YIELD HIGHS IN THE LOW 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN WILL CHARACTERIZE THE LONG TERM. ON
TUESDAY...ANOTHER STRONG UPPER JET STREAK WILL TOP THE UPPER RIDGE
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA ALLOWING SOME DEEPENING OF NEXT UPPER
SHORT WAVE ACROSS ONTARIO/NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. THIS FEATURE WILL
ALLOW ANOTHER COOL FRONT TO APPROACH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION
TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. MOISTURE AVAILABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO BE
QUESTIONABLE DUE TO BLOCKING ANTICYCLONE ACROSS THE LOWER MS RIVER
VALLEY. SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL WORK AROUND THIS RIDGE INTO THE
UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY AND POOL ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT.
HOWEVER...GIVEN UNFAVORABLE TRAJECTORIES...GFS SOLUTION STILL
APPEARS MUCH TOO MOIST WITH MOISTURE RETURN/POOLING IN THE VICINITY
OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THUS HAVE CONTINUED TO PUT MORE WEIGHT ON
DRIER AND MORE MIXED ECMWF/NAM SOLUTION OVER THE GFS. CANNOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT SOME HIGHER BASED INSTABILITY ALLOWING A FEW
ISOLATED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP MAINLY ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT WOULD SUSPECT AT THIS TIME IT WOULD BE MORE OF A
SPRINKLES SCENARIO GIVEN EXPECTED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PROFILES AND
WILL KEEP TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT DRY. MAIN UPPER TROUGH WILL SHIFT
INTO QUEBEC TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY LEAVING BEHIND WEAK BOUNDARY
ACROSS SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...BUT SEE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF FORCING
FOR PRECIP MENTION THRU WEDNESDAY...WITH CONTINUED MOISTURE
AVAILABILITY CONCERNS. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE BEGINNING TO CONVERGE
A BIT MORE IN TERMS OF THE BROAD PICTURE FOR THURSDAY AND BEYOND
WITH MORE OF A STABLE LONGWAVE PATTERN BECOMING ESTABLISHED IN
WESTERN CONUS RIDGING AND A MORE ROBUST EASTERN CONUS/SE CANADIAN
UPPER NEGATIVE HEIGHT ANOMALY. TREND IN MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAS BEEN
TO A STRONGER SFC LOW/CYCLOGENESIS ON THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY WITH A
SIGNIFICANT UPPER LOW DIGGING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES.
PREVIOUS FORECAST ALREADY CARRIED LOW CHANCE POPS THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY AND HAVE MAINTAINED THIS MENTION. AFOREMENTIONED LARGE SCALE
PATTERN SHOULD SUPPORT A PERIOD OF COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS
FOR NEXT WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PORTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING
WEEK...WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES LOOKING TO BE A GOOD
POSSIBILITY FOR A CHANGE.

&&

.AVIATION... /06Z TAFS/

A FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED AT THE TERMINALS THIS MORNING AHEAD
OF A WESTERN GREAT LAKES UPPER TROUGH. EXPECT A PERIOD OF IFR
STRATUS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AS IT MOVES THROUGH. ADDED A VCTS AND
TEMPO -TSRA GROUP AT FWA AS SECONDARY THETA-E SURGE/SHORTWAVE OVER
IL/MO MOVES EWD ALONG THE SLOW MOVING FRONT. CONDITIONS WILL
RAPIDLY IMPROVE AROUND 14Z AT SBN AND NEAR 16/17Z AT FWA AS DRIER
AIR ADVECTS IN BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

.IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IN...RIP CURRENT RISK THROUGH MONDAY MORNING FOR INZ003.

MI...RIP CURRENT RISK THROUGH MONDAY MORNING FOR MIZ077.
