Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 4:51 AM EDT, 6 hours 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
451 AM EDT THU APR 11 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 447 AM EDT THU APR 11 2013

ABBREVIATED DISCUSSION WITH ACTIVE OVERNIGHT PERIOD IN
TERMS OF FLOODING AND GUSTY WINDS.

LARGE AREA OF STRATIFORM RAIN...PRECEDED BY A NARROW LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS...WAS MOVING ACROSS THE CWA WITH THE BACK EDGE OF THE
PRECIP JUST ENTERING THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. LOCALLY
HIGHER WIND GUSTS HAVE ACCOMPANIED THE LINE WITH THE STRONGEST WIND
GUST SO FAR AT FT WAYNE AIRPORT WITH A 48 MPH GUST AND RAPID
FALL/RISE IN PRESSURE FROM A GRAVITY WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FEATURE. SHALLOW COLD BOUNDARY LAYER WAS ABLE TO HOLD OFF ON
STRONGEST WINDS FROM BEING MIXED DOWN ACROSS THE AREA.

THE HEAVIEST PRECIP SHOULD SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS WITH THE RAIN SHIELD LIKELY SLOWING ITS EASTWARD
PROGRESS AS THE UPPER SYSTEM BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILTED AND YET
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE RIDES UP THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. HI RES MODELS
SHOWING EASTERN HALF OR MORE OF THE AREA LIKELY TO SEE AN INCREASE
IN PRECIP THROUGH THE DAY WITH CONTINUED HIGH PWATS AND STRONG S
FLOW. SOME PORTIONS OF THE SE PART OF THE FORECAST AREA SEEN
RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO NEARLY 3 INCH RANGE. QPF FORECASTS ARE
GENERALLY THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH TO AN INCH THROUGH 00Z FRI IN
THESE SAME AREAS WITH LESSER AMOUNTS GOING NW. AS A RESULT...HAVE
OPTED TO HOIST FLOOD WATCH FOR FAR SE COUNTIES THROUGH 6Z FRI.
POTENTIAL FOR EXPANSION DOES EXIST N AND W BUT GIVEN THESE AREAS
SEEN MUCH LIGHTER OVERALL AMOUNTS IN COMPARISON CONCERNS ARE LOWER
AT THIS POINT. TEMPS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A CHALLENGE WITH NORTHERN
AREAS STRUGGLING TO WARM ANDY WITH TEMPS IN THE 40S AT BEST. FURTHER
SOUTH WARM SECTOR MAY TAKE A RUN AT SOUTH/SE SECTIONS WITH HIGHS
INTO THE 60S. HAVE KEPT A TIGHT GRADIENT ON THINGS WITH FURTHER
REFINEMENT LIKELY THROUGH THE DAY. LITTLE ADDITIONAL DETAIL WAS
ADDED OVERNIGHT OTHER THAN TO TAPER OFF PRECIP DURING THE EVENING AS
DRY SLOT BEGINS TO WORK IN. COLDER NIGHT FOR ALL WITH LOWS IN THE
MID 30S TO AROUND 40.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 447 AM EDT THU APR 11 2013

MAIN FOCUS OF TAFS WILL BE NEXT 6 TO 9 HOURS WITH FEW
CHANGES BEYOND THAT PERIOD. FRONTAL ZONE WAS WORKING NORTH ACROSS
THE AREA IN RESPONSE TO 55 KT SSW LLJ NOTED ON KIND VWP. AN AREA OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS NEARLY CLEARED KFWA BUT WILL AFFECT
KSBN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. TO FURTHER COMPLICATE
TAFS...LARGE AREA OF RAIN AND STORMS WAS ENTERING WESTERN PORTIONS
OF INDIANA WITH A LINE OF INCREASED WIND POTENTIAL. STABLE BOUNDARY
LAYER MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MIX DOWN STRONGER WINDS JUST OFF THE
SFC BUT LOCALLY HIGH WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT KSBN IN A FEW
HOURS. OTHERWISE...NO BRAINER ON EXTENDED PERIOD OF IFR CIGS AND
OCCASIONAL IFR VSBYS IN HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH AT LEAST
8Z...ASSUMING NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. AS NOTED AT KFWA...THE CURRENT
LULL WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS SOUTHERN EXTENT OF ABOVE MENTIONED LINE
WITH QUICKLY MOVE TOWARDS THE AIRPORT BETWEEN 630Z AND 730Z. SIMILAR
WIND CONCERNS COULD EXIST WITH THIS AS WELL FOLLOWED BY AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF RAIN/EMBEDDED STORMS THROUGH 9 OR 10Z. WILL NOT INCLUDE
HIGHER WIND GUSTS ATTM IN THE TAFS FOR EITHER SITE.

UPPER LOW WILL STILL BE MAKING SLOW PROGRESS EASTWARD THROUGH THE
DAY THURS WITH ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR PRECIP THROUGH THE DAY. TRENDS
WOULD SUGGEST BEST FORCING MAY BE GONE BY LATE AFTERNOON SO WILL TRY
TO END PRECIP. AGAIN...WITH FOCUS ON EARLIER PERIOD ADDITIONAL
REFINEMENTS TO LATER PERIODS WILL BE NEEDED.
