&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 242 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL FLOW IN BEHIND THE STRONG COLD FRONT
TONIGHT ENDING ANY LINGERING RAIN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE DRY
CONDITIONS INTO WEDNESDAY. A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS WILL THEN BRING
CHANCES FOR RAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. BEHIND THE FRONTS
WILL COME MUCH COLDER AIR BY SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 242 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH VERY QUICKLY
EAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON. ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO
FAVOR SEVERE STORMS AND TORNADOES. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT
THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND GO WITH HIGH POPS WITH THE LINE.

BY 00Z ONLY EXPECT FAR EAST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA TO HAVE
CHANCES FOR RAIN AS LINE IS MOVING VERY QUICKLY AND LITTLE
ACTIVITY IS ALONG THE FRONT ITSELF. WILL GO CHANCE POPS THERE FOR
A COUPLE OF HOURS PAST 00Z AND DRY ELSEWHERE.

UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS SHOW STRONG WIND GUSTS OVER 40 KTS WITH
FRONTAL PASSAGE. ALSO EXPECT STRONGER WINDS ALOFT TO MIX DOWN WITH
COLD ADVECTION THIS EVENING. THUS WILL CONTINUE WITH WIND ADVISORY
THROUGH 02Z. GUSTY WINDS BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE OVERNIGHT WITH THE COLD ADVECTION.

SKIES CLEAR QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT BUT SOME LOWER CLOUDS MIGHT
SNEAK IN TO THE NORTHEAST FORECAST AREA IN THE COLD ADVECTION.
STILL EXPECT OVERALL CONDITIONS TO BE CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY
THOUGH.

A MODEL BLEND LOOKS GOOD FOR TEMPERATURES TONIGHT GIVEN THE COLD
ADVECTION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 242 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

FOCUS IS ON SKY/WIND MONDAY THEN ON CHANCES FOR RAIN ON WEDNESDAY.
MODELS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH THAT A BLEND CAN BE USED.

STILL EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS ON MONDAY WITH A DECENT PRESSURE
GRADIENT REMAINING ACROSS THE AREA. GUSTS AROUND 30 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY NORTHEAST AS STRONGER WINDS ALOFT MIX DOWN.

EXPECT SOME CUMULUS CLOUDS TO DEVELOP IN THE COLD ADVECTION ACROSS
THE NORTHEAST FORECAST AREA /WHERE COLDEST TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL
BE/. WILL GO PARTLY CLOUDY THERE AND MOSTLY SUNNY ELSEWHERE ON
MONDAY. TRENDED TOWARD THE COLDER SIDE OF GUIDANCE GIVEN THE COLD
ADVECTION.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN AND CONTINUE TO DRY CONDITIONS
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH THE DRY AIR SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY
CLEAR. FOR TEMPERATURES GENERALLY WENT CLOSE TO MOS.

MOISTURE BEGINS TO INCREASE ON WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
FRONT. BEST LIFT REMAINS WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE STRONGER
850MB WINDS WILL BE. WITH MAINLY MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE AND
ONLY WEAK LIFT ACROSS THE AREA...CONTINUED WITH A DRY FORECAST
WEDNESDAY.

&&

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

ISSUED AT 142 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

EXTENDED MODELS AND ENSEMBLES IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT SEPARATE
FRONTAL SYSTEMS AND FAST MOIST PACIFIC FLOW ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO
RESULT IN NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND SHOWER
CHANCES WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. THEN...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN FROM THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE REMAINDER
OF NEXT WEEKEND DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. REGIONAL
ALLBLEND IS HANDLING THINGS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 172100Z TAF UPDATE/...

ISSUED AT 329 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

CONVECTION HAS REACHED KIND BUT STRONGEST CONVECTION REMAINS TO THE
NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE AREA. STILL EXPECT BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS IN
HEAVIER RAIN. BEHIND TSRA GRADIENT WINDS REMAIN STRONG WITH GUSTS
OVER 40KT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS SPAWNING SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI LATE THIS MORNING. ADDITIONAL AFTERNOON
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THIS
AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY A LINE OF SEVERE STORMS. THE BEST TIMING FOR
THE LINE...WHICH WILL BE JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WILL BE IN THE
LAF AND HUF AREAS AROUND 19Z-21Z AND IND AND BMG AROUND 20-22Z.
CONFIDENCE IS GOOD REGARDING THE TIMING OF THIS SQUALL LINE.
SO...WILL START WITH VCTS AND THEN GO WITH TEMPO THUNDERSTORMS FOR 2
HOURS WITH SEVERE GUSTS TO 50 KNOTS FROM THE SOUTHWEST AS STORM
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO BE SOUTHWEST AT 50 KNOTS OR MORE. SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST GRADIENT WINDS ALONE SHOULD GUST TO 35 KNOTS OR MORE WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 25 KNOTS. MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS IN
