AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1015 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

ISSUED AT 145 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY AND THIS
EVENING AS A COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA AND
INTERACTS WITH VERY WARM...MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR. THEN...DRY
WEATHER IS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER
RIDGE BUILDS IN. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S
TODAY WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. THEN...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY WILL BE
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL WITH LOWER HUMIDITY AND AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE
LOWER TO MID 80S. FINALLY...LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK
TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NORMAL IN THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90 AS
THE RIDGE BECOMES MORE ESTABLISHED.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 1002 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

14Z UPDATE...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...A FEW ISOLATED
SEVERE...ARE CURRENTLY ON THE RADAR MOSAIC ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL
AND SRN ILLINOIS. AS THIS ACTIVITY IS PUSHING VERY QUICKLY E/SE
WARD AND NEARING THE IL/IN STATE LINE...HAVE BEEFED UP POPS FOR
THE NEXT FEW HOURS BEFORE THE FROPA THIS AFTERNOON. PART OF THE
FRONT LIES ACROSS CENTRAL IL AND IS MOVING RAPIDLY SE AT THIS
HOUR. SPC UPDATED THE SLIGHT RISK TO ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE
CWA...RATHER THAN JUST THE SRN 2/3 BASED ON THIS RADAR TREND. BULK
OF THE THE ACTIVITY IS STILL SUB-SEVERE...BUT AS IT CROSSES THE
STATE LINE AND ENTERS AN EVEN MORE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...WITH THE
FRONT LATER INTERACT WITH IT...EXPECT STORMS TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE AND STRENGTH. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

MAIN CHALLENGE TO THE NEAR TERM WILL BE TIMING OF COLD FRONT ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA AND RESULTANT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. COLD FRONT WAS
CURRENTLY FROM THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHERN
IOWA. MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE 00Z GFS AND 21Z SREF...ARE NOW MUCH
QUICKER TO BRING THE FRONT SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS
STRONG CANADIAN TROUGH PIVOTS ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO. THE OTHER
DETERMINISTIC MODELS ARE PRETTY CLOSE IN BRINGING THE FRONT TO JUST
SOUTH OF A FORT WAYNE TO LAFAYETTE LINE AT 18Z AND TO OUR
SOUTHERNMOST TIER OF COUNTIES BY 00Z. MODELS INCLUDING SOUNDINGS ALL
ARE INDICATING A BAND OF MIXED LAYER CAPES OVER 3000 J/KG JUST AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT AS COOLING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES INTERACT WITH THE
SOUPY AIRMASS. MEANWHILE...75 PLUS UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK ACROSS THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA. ALTHOUGH...THERE WILL ONLY BE MARGINAL
UNI-DIRECTIONAL SHEAR...DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND UPPER JET STREAK
COULD RESULT IN AT LEAST A FEW SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING PER SPC DAY1 OUTLOOK. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE  MAIN
THREAT. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER REMAINING AROUND 2 INCHES...HEAVY
RAIN WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN. WITH HIGH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES...THE
STORMS MAY NOT GET GOING TIL THE FRONT IS SOUTH OF OUR NORTHWESTERN
COUNTIES...SO WILL GO WITH LOWEST POPS THERE WITH THE HIGHEST
SOUTHEAST. WILL HOLD ON TO SMALL CHANCE POPS AFTER 00Z...AND THEN
DRY AFTER 06Z AS THE FRONT SETTLES SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER AND DRIER
AIR MOVES IN AS BROAD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN. COULD STILL
BE SOME LINGERING CLOUDS AS UPPER TROUGH PIVOTS SOUTH ACROSS
SOUTHERN ONTARIO WITH CYCLONIC FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

MOS TEMPERATURES CLOSE TODAY AND APPEAR REASONABLE. TONIGHT...PREFER
CLOSER TO THE NOT AS COOL 00Z NAM MOS AS CLOUDS THERE SHOULD BE SOME
CLOUDS LINGERING AROUND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 145 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS
EXPANDING NORTHEAST TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES BY FRIDAY NIGHT AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST TO THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES AND THEN TO THE ADIRONDACKS. MODEL TIME SECTIONS WERE
SHOWING VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE EXCEPT SOME LEFT OVER LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN LITTLE CLOUD COVER EXCEPT PERHAPS ON
THURSDAY WHEN THE UPPER TROUGH DIVES SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES AND UPPER OHIO VALLEY. EVEN THEN...SHOULD STILL SEE SOME
SUNSHINE. WILL GO COOLER THAN MOS FOR DAYTIME HIGHS AS 850 MILLIBAR
TEMPERATURES DROP TO 12 TO 13 DEGREES. NIGHTTIME LOWS SIMILAR FROM
MOS AND LOOK OK.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 301 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

LATEST INITIALIZATION IS KEEPING ENTIRE EXTENDED PERIOD DRY...
AND WILL NOT DEVIATE FROM THAT AT THIS TIME. BROAD RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE ANCHORED OVER MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO
VALLEY REGIONS. THE ONLY CAVEAT WOULD BE SOME PRECIP OVER THE
SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF FORECAST AREA AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK
AS AN UPPER LOW RETROGRADES FROM THE NORTHEAST U.S. TO THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY. COOLER EASTERLY FLOW WILL RESULT IN HIGH TEMPS
IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM...BUT AS
FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHERLY LATER IN THE PERIOD...HIGHS WILL START
APPROACHING THE MID TO UPPER 80S. THE SAME TREND WILL BE TRUE FOR
THE OVERNIGHT LOWS...MID 60S IN THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...AND LOW 70S BY THE END OF PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 1500Z TAF UPDATE/...

ISSUED AT 1015 AM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

VERY LOW CERTAINTY INTO AFTERNOON. NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS
PRODUCING BRIEF IFR VISIBILITIES AND MVFR CEILINGS...ALONG WITH
GUSTY WINDS.

DRIER AIR WILL QUICKLY FILTER INTO TAF SITES AFTER THU 03Z.
AT THAT TIME...ALL TAF SITES WILL DEFINITELY BE AT VFR CATEGORY
AND REMAIN THAT WAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF TAF PERIOD. WINDS WILL COME
AROUND TO THE NORTHEAST AROUND 10 KNOTS POST COLD FRONT THIS
EVENING.
