AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
946 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013

.UPDATE...

THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 258 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013

LOW PRESSURE WILL STRENGTHEN RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES INTO THE GREAT
LAKES LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING. WIDESPREAD RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED ...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS PRODUCING
DAMAGING WINDS THIS EVENING ALONG THE FRONT. COOLER DRIER AIR WILL
QUICKLY EXPAND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY LATE TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT.
OTHER THAN LOW CHANCES FOR SHOWERS ON SATURDAY...DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED UNTIL THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
BRING A RETURN THREAT FOR RAIN.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 948 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013

VERY THIN LINE OF STORMS CONTINUES TO RACE ACROSS THE AREA. UNTIL
RECENTLY IT APPEARED TO BE DOING VERY LITTLE...BUT WINDS HAVE
KICKED UP AND SOME MINOR DAMAGE REPORTS BEGINNING TO FILTER IN.
WILL CLEAR COUNTIES FROM THE WATCH AS THE LINE PASSES AS THIS WILL
BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE THREAT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING.

GOING FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE AND FEW CHANGES REQUIRED.

ISSUED AT 258 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013

EVEN THOUGH WIND FIELDS WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS THE PARENT LOW DEEPENS OVER THE GREAT
LAKES...THE LACK OF INSTABILITY THIS FAR NORTH WILL PUT A DAMPER ON
CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT BY THIS EVENING.

AS OF 3 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON ON THE RADAR MOSAIC...THERE IS A
CLEARLY DEVELOPED DRY SLOT ACROSS MUCH OF ERN IL AND ENCROACHING ON
ERN INDIANA. THIS WAS EXPECTED PER EARLY GUIDANCE AND WE EXPECT
PRECIPITATION TO BEGIN FILLING BACK IN AROUND 6-7 PM EDT THIS
EVENING AS THE FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. AS STATED
EARLIER...AM HAVING SERIOUS DOUBTS AS TO THE SEVERE THREAT EVEN
THOUGH SPC CONTINUES TO PLACE A LARGE AREA...INCLUDING THE ENTIRE
CWA IN SLIGHT RISK. CERTAINLY CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW DAMAGING WINDS
AND TO A LESSER EXTENT ISOLATED SPIN-UP TORNADOES...BUT THIS IS NOT
LOOKING NEARLY AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT ONCE DID. BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE
WX LOOK ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA IF IT DEVELOPS.

DRY SLOT PERIOD LOOKS TO END AROUND 6 PM THIS EVENING...WITH RAIN
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY THUNDERSTORMS FILLING BACK IN WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 6 TO 10 PM. THIS WHEN A LINE OF
POSSIBLE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS COULD MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. THIS
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CLEAR MOST OF THE CWA BY MIDNIGHT WITH COOLER
AND DRIER AIR QUICKLY FILTERING BACK INTO THE REGION.

ON TEMPS...AGREE WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST...MOS GUIDANCE HAS BEEN TOO
AGGRESSIVE WITH WARMTH THE LAST FEW DAYS AND LOOKS TO BE AGAIN FOR
THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...EVEN WITH THE STRONGER SOUTHERLY FLOW.
GENERALLY UNDERCUT MOS GUIDANCE BY A FEW DEGREES ACROSS THE BOARD
WITH HIGHS GENERALLY HOLDING IN THE LOW 60S. LEANED CLOSER TO COOLER
MAV TONIGHT AS CLEARING LATE WITH MUCH DRIER AIR SHOULD ENABLE TEMPS
TO FALL INTO THE 40S OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

ISSUED AT 258 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013

FORECAST CHALLENGES FOCUS ON PRECIP CHANCES SATURDAY AS AN UPPER
LEVEL WAVE TRACKS THROUGH THE LOWER GREAT LAKES...OTHERWISE FORECAST
APPEARS MUCH MORE QUIET THIS PERIOD.

A BREEZY COOL DAY IS EXPECTED FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG STORM
SYSTEM. COULD SEE WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 20-25MPH DURING THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE THE GRADIENT RELAXES FRIDAY NIGHT. CLOUDS WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS AN UPPER
LEVEL WAVE TRACKS QUICKLY OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS FEATURE
SET TO MOVE THROUGH THE LOWER GREAT LAKES LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. BULK OF THE DEEPER FORCING ALOFT WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA...BUT PRESENCE OF HIGHER DIV Q VALUES DO SUPPORT A FEW
LIGHT SHOWERS IMPACTING MAINLY THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW CHANCE POPS.
CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON
SATURDAY NIGHT.

IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY NIGHT TEMPS MUCH COOLER
THAN PAST FEW DAYS WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S AND LOWS IN THE 30S/40S
THIS PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 258 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013

THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL START OUT DRY WITH RIDGING ALOFT.
HOWEVER...THE RIDGE WILL START BREAKING DOWN ON MONDAY NIGHT AS A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER MANITOBA PUSHES EAST.  AT THE
SURFACE...A LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL TRIGGER WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THEM FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. AT
THIS TIME...ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT LOOK CONDUCIVE TO THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT...SO WILL ONLY GO WITH MENTION OF RAIN SHOWERS.  TEMPS
THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL START OUT AROUND NORMAL AND THEN FALL TO
BELOW NORMAL BEHIND AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 010000Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 645 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013

VIGOROUS UPPER SYSTEM PRECEEDED BY A COLD FRONT WILL PIVOT EAST
ACROSS THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING. THE FRONT SHOULD BE THROUGH NEAR
OR EAST OF LAF AND HUF AT 00Z THIS EVENING AND NEAR IND AND BMG AT
02Z. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AND THEN WEST AS THE
FRONT PASSES. WINDS WILL BE NEAR 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 30
KNOTS EARLY AND GRADUALLY DIMINISH TO NEAR 10 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO
NEAR 20 KNOTS OVERNIGHT. ANY CONVECTION INCLUDING SHOWERS COULD
PRODUCE GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS OR MORE AT IND AND BMG PRIOR TO THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. WITH ONLY ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKES CURRENTLY
ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN ILLINOIS AND SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI...AND SUNSET
COMING...WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY MENTION OF LIGHTNING IN THE TAFS...BUT
IT CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY AT IND AND BMG.
RADAR TRENDS AND RAPID REFRESH REFLECTIVITY PROGS SUGGEST THE
SHOWERS WILL HANG AROUND UNTIL THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS MOVES THROUGH
LATE THIS EVENING. SO...WILL KEEP SHOWERS IN THROUGH 03Z AT LAF AND
HUF AND 05Z AT IND AND BMG. SHOULD SEE SOME VFR AFTER THE TROUGH
AXIS AS WELL AND SCATTERING AFTER 09Z. VFR WILL AGAIN BE ON THE
INCREASE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AFTER 17Z ON FRIDAY AHEAD OF
ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH. THE GUSTS SHOULD FINALLY END WITH SUNSET
TOMORROW EVENING.
