Area forecast discussion, Apr 16, 7:57 PM EDT, 2 hours 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
757 PM EDT TUE APR 16 2013

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 232 PM EDT TUE APR 16 2013

A FRONTAL SYSTEM LOCATED NEAR THE OHIO RIVER IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
NORTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. STRONG LOW
PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY...BRINGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. IN THE
WAKE OF THIS FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD INTO THE
AREA BY NEXT WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER FRONTAL
SYSTEM MAY AFFECT THE AREA BY NEXT TUESDAY.

&&

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

ISSUED AT 232 PM EDT TUE APR 16 2013

AN UPPER DISTURBANCE OVER ILLINOIS IS RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...MAINLY OVER THE NORTHWEST ZONES.
MEANWHILE...A FRONTAL SYSTEM LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHEAST ZONES
CONTINUES TO SAG TOWARDS THE OHIO RIVER. NOT MUCH ACTIVITY
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT YET. SHORT TERM MODEL DATA SUGGEST THE
UPPER DISTURBANCE OVER ILLINOIS WILL PUSH OFF TO THE NORTHEAST
DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...HOWEVER A VORTICITY TAIL WILL
HANG BACK ACROSS THE AREA LATER TONIGHT. THIS COMBINED WITH SOME
STRONGER 850MB FLOW EXTENDING FROM ILLINOIS INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA
MAY SERVE TO KEEP AN ENHANCED THREAT FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA TONIGHT. WILL GO WITH LIKELY
POPS IN THOSE AREAS.

FARTHER SOUTHEAST...SOME CONVECTION EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER THIS
AFTERNOON ALONG FRONT...BUT QUESTIONABLE HOW MUCH GIVEN THE
INSTABILITY AXIS HAS BEEN PUSHED SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. WILL KEEP
POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY THERE.

THE GFS MOS LOWS TONIGHT LOOK TOO COLD OVER THE SOUTH WHERE FRONT
WILL BE VERY SHALLOW. WILL NUDGE UP THE GUIDANCE SEVERAL DEGREES IN
THOSE AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

ISSUED AT 232 PM EDT TUE APR 16 2013

MODEL DATA SUGGEST FRONT WILL PRETTY MUCH HOLD ITS POSITION NEAR THE
OHIO RIVER INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A DEVELOPING STRONG LOW LEVEL JET
AHEAD OF APPROACHING PLAINS SYSTEM SHOULD SERVE TO PUSH THIS FRONT
BACK TO THE NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS
FOR WEDNESDAY...AND GO WITH LIKELY POPS OVER MOST OF THE
AREA...EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTHEAST...WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THERE SHOULD BE
GOOD FORCING ALONG THE JET.

SHOULD BE IN THE WARN SECTOR THURSDAY. OTHER THAT
INSTABILITY...DON/T SEE ANY REAL FOCUS FOR CONVECTION AT THAT
TIME...OTHER THAN POSSIBLY SOME RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES FROM THE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACTIVITY. WILL KEEP POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY AT
THAT TIME.

COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. FORCING ALONG THE FRONT LOOKS STRONG...ALONG
WITH STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR...ALTHOUGH THE LAPSE RATES LOOK
RATHER POOR AT THIS POINT. NEVERTHELESS...HIGH WINDS ARE POSSIBLE
GIVEN THE EXPECTED WIND FIELDS/LIFT. WILL GO WITH HIGH POPS
THURSDAY NIGHT.

WILL KEEP SOME POPS GOING FOR FRIDAY AS WELL TO COVER ANY LINGERING
ACTIVITY IN THE WAKE OF FRONT.

PROGGED LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUGGEST THE GFS MOS HIGHS FOR
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MAY STILL BE A LITTLE WARM...ESPECIALLY IN
THE SOUTH. WILL NUDGE THE GUIDANCE DOWN A LITTLE IN THOSE AREAS.
LOWS DON/T LOOK TOO BAD.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 232 PM EDT TUE APR 16 2013

ECMWF AND GFS DEPICT THE DEPARTURE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY
AS ANOTHER AREA OF COLD HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS WILL KEEP DRY BUT COOL CONDITIONS ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA...WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. LOWS ON SATURDAY
MORNING BODE WATCHING AS FROST POTENTIAL MAY EXIST...HOWEVER
PRESSURE GRADIENT AT THAT TIME STILL SUGGESTS THAT WINDS BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO PREVENT FROST FORMATION. WILL WATCH CLOSELY.

AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST OF INDIANA THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
THE NEXT WORKWEEK...RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND THE HIGH SHOULD
RESULT IN SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES EACH DAY.

THE NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP APPEARS ON TUESDAY AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT ONCE AGAIN PUSHES THROUGH THE STATE.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 16/0000Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 749 PM EDT TUE APR 16 2013

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA
THROUGH DURATION OF TAF PERIOD...RESULTING IN PERIODS OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE THE
PREVAILING FLIGHT CATEGORY WITH BRIEF DETERIORATION TO IFR
CATEGORY DURING HEAVIEST SHOWERS AND STORMS AND FOG FORMATION.
SATURATED LOWER LEVELS WILL MAKE VFR CONDITIONS UNATTAINABLE FOR
MAJORITY OF TAF PERIOD. NORTHEAST WINDS WILL GRADUALLY VEER TO
THE EAST LATE TONIGHT WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 5 TO 10 KTS.

&&
