AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1232 AM EDT SAT JUN 1 2013

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT CENTRAL
INDIANA AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT APPROACHES. THE FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT WITH COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR
SPREADING IN WITH HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK.
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 1010 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRUSH NORTHERN CARROLL AND POSSIBLY HOWARD
COUNTY IN THE NEXT HOUR.  OTHERWISE...THERE WILL BE A TEMPORARY LULL
IN THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR REGION UNTIL AREA OF STRONG STORMS OVER
WESTERN ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI MOVE INTO WESTERN INDIANA BY 06Z.
THERE MAY BE SEVERAL HOURS OF SEVERE STORMS OVER WESTERN HALF OF OUR
REGION...THEN SEVERE THREAT WILL LESSEN AS STORMS MOVE INTO LESS
UNSTABLE AIR FARTHER EAST.

OF MORE CONCERN WILL BE HEAVY RAIN THREAT AS THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN
ACROSS EAST CENTRAL MISSOURI...SOUTHERN ILLINOIS INTO SOUTHWEST
PORTIONS OF OUR REGION.  QPF AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES POSSIBLE
IN SOME AREAS WITH MORE RAIN OCCURRING SATURDAY.  DID NOT MAKE ANY
CHANGES TO FLASH FLOOD WATCH...BUT IT MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED IN
NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE.   ONLY MINOR CHANGES MADE TO TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

FORECAST CHALLENGES REMAIN ON HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT TRACKS SLOWLY
THROUGH THE REGION.

POTENTIAL FOR A SCENARIO SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING TO PLAY OUT
SATURDAY MORNING AS REGION MAY RESIDE UNDERNEATH A THICK CLOUD
CANOPY WITHIN A STABLE ENVIRONMENT IN WAKE OF OVERNIGHT CONVECTION.
THAT PRESENTS CHALLENGES ONCE AGAIN AS TO WHETHER ANY SUBSTANTIAL
HEATING CAN TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND ULTIMATELY HOW
UNSTABLE THE AIRMASS CAN GET BY AFTERNOON. THE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS
ARE ARGUABLY BETTER WITH CENTRAL INDIANA REMAINING IN THE RIGHT REAR
QUAD OF THE 100KT UPPER JET WITH UPPER DIFFLUENCE AHEAD OF THE WAVE
ALOFT ENHANCING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. ADDITIONALLY...LOW LEVEL JET
WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION ALL DAY WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES
REMAINING ABOVE 1.50-1.75 IN. THE QUESTION MARK AGAIN IS WHETHER
INSTABILITY WILL BE HAMPERED BASED ON CLOUD COVER AND ADDITIONAL
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. WHILE ISOLATED
DAMAGING WINDS FROM STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT...CONFIDENCE REMAINS
LOW IN A LARGER SCALE SEVERE WEATHER EVENT SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING BASED ON FACTORS MENTIONED ABOVE.

AT THIS POINT...CONCERN IS ONCE AGAIN GREATER TOWARDS HEAVY RAINFALL
WITH DEEP MOISTURE REMAINING AND THE PRESENCE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET
AND SUBSEQUENT CONVERGENCE THROUGH THE BOUNDARY LAYER. COULD EASILY
SEE REPEATED ROUNDS OF STORMS THROUGHOUT THE DAY OR POSSIBLY ANOTHER
MCS LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES OF
RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE INTO SATURDAY EVENING. DEPENDING ON HOW THE
CONVECTIVE PATTERN EVOLVES TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY...THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED FURTHER EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA.

MODEL GUIDANCE CONSISTENT IN BRINGING THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS AND COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE REGION LATE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD RAINFALL
SHIFTING EAST. HAVE HELD ONTO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SUNDAY AS A WEAK
SHORTWAVE ALOFT MOVES ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTERACTS WITH THE
COLD POOL IN WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. EXPECT JUST ISOLATED
SHOWERS AS MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW LIMITED INSTABILITY. REMAINDER OF
THE SHORT TERM WILL BE QUIET AS A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN WITH COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR.

TEMPS...WITH THE EXPECTATION OF CLOUD COVER AND WIDESPREAD PRECIP
COVERAGE ON SATURDAY...FELT MAVMOS GUIDANCE TOO WARM WITH TEMPS IN
THE MID 80S. UNDERCUT BY SEVERAL DEGREES AND KEEPING MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA IN THE 70S. COOLER AIR EXPANDS INTO THE REGION SUNDAY
AND MONDAY WITH TEMPS FALLING BACK INTO THE UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S BY
MONDAY. MOS LOOKED REASONABLE FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS. COULD SEE SOME
UPPER 40S IN RURAL LOCALES NORTH OF INDY METRO MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED AT 256 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

FAIRLY QUIET START TO THE LONG TERM PERIOD WITH BROAD SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE AREA. AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL PUSH ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS...AND MAY BRING SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA
BEGINNING AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH CHANCES INCREASING
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. ALLBLEND HANDLED THIS WELL AND
REQUIRED FEW TWEAKS.

INITIALIZED TEMPERATURES WERE FAIRLY CLOSE...AGAIN WITH ONLY A FEW
MINOR TWEAKS REQUIRED. SHOULD SEE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND THROUGH
THE WEEK...WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S MAKING A RETURN TO THE
AREA LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 010600Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 1232 AM EDT SAT JUN 1 2013

SEVERE SQUALL LINE ACROSS EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS WAS MOVING IN EXCESS
OF 60 MPH LATE THIS EVENING AND SHOULD BE THROUGH LAF AND HUF BY
ISSUANCE TIME AND VERY NEAR IND AND BMG AT 06Z. EXPECT TO SEE WIND
GUSTS TO 45 KNOTS OR MORE FROM THE WEST AND TEMPO IFR CONDITIONS
THERE AS THE LINE PASSES THROUGH. RESIDUAL THUNDER SHOULD CONTINUE
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. THEN....NEXT BEST CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD
THUNDERSTORMS WILL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ALTHOUGH WILL NOT
RULE OUT SOME MORE MORNING STORMS. COLD FRONT SHOULD REACH LAF AND
HUF AROUND 04Z SUNDAY AND IND AND BMG AROUND 06Z SUNDAY WITH WINDS
SHIFTING TO THE WEST AND REMAINING NEAR 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO NEAR
20 KNOTS. ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON WILL LEAD TO
QUICKLY DEVELOPING MVFR OR WORSE CEILING.
