Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 10:10 PM EDT, 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
1010 PM EDT WED JUN 12 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 250 PM EDT WED JUN 12 2013
A WARM FRONT HAS SETTLED ACROSS SOUTHERN MICHIGAN. SEVERAL
DISTURBANCES ARE EXPECTED TO RIDE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...BRINGING
ONE OR MORE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THESE STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
HEAVY RAINFALL AND SEVERE WEATHER. DRIER AND COOLER WEATHER WILL
SETTLE INTO THE REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
&&
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1009 PM EDT WED JUN 12 2013
SVR WIND/LARGE HAIL/ISO TORNADO THREAT INCREASES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS MAINLY SOUTH OF HWY 6 IN INDIANA/OHIO AS LARGE SCALE ASCENT
INCREASES IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE/60 KT
MID LVL SPEED MAX. DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND MLCAPE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT FOR ROTATING STORMS AND EVENTUAL MCS
MAINTENANCE...ALONG WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL INFLOW. ANY SVR WX
ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES WILL BE ISOLATED IN NATURE WITH LARGE HAIL
THE PRIMARY THREAT. OTHERWISE...THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR TRAINING
AND FLASH FLOODING WITH THESE CELLS WILL LIKELY BE NEAR THE HWY 30
CORRIDOR IN INDIANA AND OHIO. GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT
LATEST RADAR/HRRR TRENDS.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 427 PM EDT WED JUN 12 2013
SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED BY EARLY TONIGHT. SEVERAL FACTORS ARE
COMING TOGETHER FOR A SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK OF SEVERE STORMS AND
POSSIBLE TORNADOES WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE SPC LATE MORNING
UPGRADE TO A HIGH RISK OVER NEARLY ALL OF THE FCST AREA. A STRONG
CAP WAS JUST BECOMING WEAK ENOUGH UPSTREAM FOR CONVECTION TO FIRE
ACROSS EAST IOWA IN AN INCREASINGLY VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS.
LINCOLN/ILX 18Z SOUNDING SHOWED THE CAP HAD STRENGTHENED BETWEEN 12Z
AND 18Z...HELPING TO KEEP MOST STORMS AT BAY INTO MID AFTERNOON. SPC
SFC BASED LIFTED INDICIES OF -10 TO -12 WERE ALREADY OVER NRN
INDIANA. BULK SHEAR NEARLY OFF THE CHARTS WITH VALUES OF 55 KTS TO
75 KNOTS. ANOTHER INDICATOR OF THE EXTREME ENVIRONMENT WAS THE SPC
CRAVEN SIG SEVERE PARAMETER ON THE SPC WEB MESO ANALYSIS PAGE WITH
VALUES OF 60K TO OVER 120K WHERE THE SIGNIFICANT SVR THRESHOLD IS
ONLY 20K. SO A POWDER KEG IN THE ATMOSPHERE WAS OVER THE AREA. A SFC
LOW AND UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL MOVE EAST EARLY TONIGHT. EXPECT
EXPLOSIVE STORM DEVELOPMENT AS THE CAP CONTINUES TO ERODE AND THE
STORMS BECOME MORE ORGANIZED. THE ADVECTION OF AN UPSTREAM ELEVATED
LAYER ESPECIALLY 700/500 MB WITH LAPSE RATES APCHG 9C/KM WILL
FURTHER HELP KEEP AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA AHEAD
OF THE STORMS THIS EVENING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FLUX WILL INCREASE AS
THE SFC LOW APPROACHES WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE. HAVE ADDED A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH GIVEN THIS ENVIRONMENT AND PRECIP WATER VALUES
APPROACHING 2.0 INCHES. SOME OF THE AREA WAS STILL TRYING TO DRY OUT
FROM VERY HEAVY RAINS EARLIER IN THE MONTH WITH SOME AREAS RECEIVING
5 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN. EXPECT THE STORMS TO ORGANIZE IN A SQUALL
LINE WITH WINDS BECOMING DAMAGING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. CURRENT
THINKING IS MOST OF THE SEVERE STORM WILL OCCUR BEFORE
MIDNIGHT...ALTHOUGH HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE
NIGHT. OTHERWISE...SUBSTANTIAL SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER TROF
SHOULD ALLOW SKIES TO CLEAR BY LATE THURSDAY MORNING.
&&
.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 427 PM EDT WED JUN 12 2013
FEW CHANGES TO LONG TERM PERIOD WITH FOCUS ON UPCOMING WEATHER EVENT
LATER TODAY.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD...BUT WILL BE SLOWLY DAMPENED INTO THE START OF THE WEEKEND
AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
PLAINS.
THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH WILL ATTEMPT TO DIG INTO THE NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES WITH TIME THIS WEEKEND. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL
OUT OVER THE REGION FROM LATE SATURDAY INTO AS LATE AS MONDAY WITH
SEVERAL IMPULSES MOVING ALONG IT. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SEVERAL
ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS TO EITHER DEVELOP OVER AREA OR MOVE IN FROM
THE WEST WITH THE MAIN WINDOW BEING SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
POTENTIAL FOR BOTH SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL MAY
EXIST...ESPECIALLY AS MAIN WAVE ENTERS THE AREA SAT NGT INTO SUNDAY.
FURTHER DETAILS WILL BE ADDED IN LATER FORECASTS AS MODELS HOPEFULLY
COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT. BY MONDAY NIGHT...DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD
PUSH BACK INTO THE REGION WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES CONTINUING.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING) ISSUED
AT 710 PM EDT WED JUN 12 2013
A CLUSTER OF STORMS WERE DEVELOPING UPSTREAM ALONG A WEAK FRONT
WITH A FRONTOGENETIC SCENARIO GIVEN MARINE BOUNDARY/OLD FRONT TO
THE NORTH/NORTHEAST AND THETA E FLUX INCREASING TO THE SOUTHWEST.
THE APPROACH OF A SHORT WAVE WILL PROVIDE A VOLATILE SITUATION
WITH AN EVENTUAL DERECHO FORMING THIS EVENING. EXPECT WIND GUSTS
AT THE TERMINALS OF 45 TO 55 KNOTS...ALTHOUGH DEPENDING ON QLCS
SYSTEM ORGANIZATION...VELOCITIES COULD EXCEED 70 KNOTS. MORE
STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO FORM AS THE SFC LOW APPROACHES. THE
SEVERE WIND THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH BY 06Z...WITH RAIN/STORMS
ENDING BY 14Z AS SUBSIDENCE INCREASES BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL TROF.
