Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 3:55 PM EDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
355 PM EDT THU JUN 19 2014

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 314 PM EDT THU JUN 19 2014

FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO SETTLE SOUTH THIS EVENING AND SWEEP SOUTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA BY FRIDAY EVENING. THIS SHOULD BRING TEMPORARY
END TO SCATTERED STORMS FRIDAY NIGHT UNDER WEAK RIDGING. FLATTENED
UPPER LEVEL FLOW WITH MINOR SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH RETURN RAIN
THREAT BY SUNDAY THAT CONTINUES INTO MIDWEEK. SOMEWHAT LOWER
HEIGHTS INDICATE TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN
THE 80S AND LOWS 65 TO 70.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 314 PM EDT THU JUN 19 2014

SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN WITH CAPES TO 3000
FEEDING INTO THE SE PUSHING BOUNDARY. LIKE YESTERDAY STORMS WILL BE
MOST ACTIVE IN THE EARLY EVENING...WILL PRODUCE LOCALIZED
DOWNBURSTS AND SMALL HAIL. LOW TEMPERATURES APPEAR ON TRACK
DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY/...

ISSUED AT 314 PM EDT THU JUN 19 2014

PROBLEMS TIE TO RAIN CHANCES IN MOST PERIODS. MODELS HAVE A
GENERAL AGREEMENT AND A BLEND WAS USED.

SHORT WAVE PUSHING SURFACE TROUGH EAST ACROSS INDIANA FRIDAY
SHOULD SPELL FOR A CLOUDIER DAY AND HIGHER POPS WITH SHOWERS AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. SLIGHT TROUGHING ALOFT ALONG WITH SURFACE
CYCLONIC TURNING MAY YIELD A LINGER SHOWER OR TWO FRIDAY NIGHT.
DESPITE LOSS OF DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE. WEAK UPPER RIDGING SATURDAY
WITH NE SURFACE FLOW SHOULD MAKE FOR A DRY DAY THOUGH COULDNT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT SHOWER POSSIBILITIES FOR ALL AREAS GIVEN
SLIGHT TROUGHING AND VERY WEAK WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW INTO
OHIO. YET ANOTHER WEAK SHORT WAVE ROTATING THROUGH THE FLOW SOUTH
OF THE CANADIAN UPPER LOW WILL HEAD TOWARD GREAT LAKES SUNDAY AND
RETURNS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ESPECIALLY UP THAT WAY BUT COULD
SWEEP INTO OUR COUNTIES AS WELL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

ISSUED AT 237 PM EDT THU JUN 19 2014

THE LONG TERM BEGINS WITH AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE AREA MOVING OFF TO
THE EAST. AS IT DOES AN UPPER TROUGH OVER MANITOBA WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG
TERM. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SHORTWAVES TO MOVE THROUGH THE MAIN TROUGH
AND CAUSE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM STARTING IN
THE NORTHWEST BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND OVERSPREADING THE AREA DURING THE
DAY MONDAY. THERE IS SOME INDICATION THAT BRIEF UPPER RIDGING COULD
DRY THINGS OUT FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT MODELS
ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT ON THIS FEATURE AND THUS WILL JUST HAVE LOWER
POPS GOING DURING THAT TIME BUT NOT DRY. ONLY CHANGES TO ALLBLEND
WERE FOR COLLABORATION PURPOSES BUT GENERALLY WERE NOT BIG.
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP DURING THE PERIOD AS THE UPPER TROUGH GETS
CLOSER AND BRINGS IN SOME COOLER CANADIAN AIR.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 192100Z IND TAF UPDATE/...

ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT THU JUN 19 2014

TIMED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TO THE AIRPORT FROM 21Z-22Z WITH WINDS
SHIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST AROUND 20 KNOTS AND GUSTING TO 30 KNOTS.
OTHERWISE...NO CHANGES...LEFT VCTS GOING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

RADAR SHOWS DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING IN A LINE THAT GOES OVER KIND...SO
WILL INCLUDE TEMPO THUNDER THERE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS.
OTHERWISE HIGH UNCERTAINTY/LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST IN STORE FOR THIS
ISSUANCE. WILL GO WITH PREVAILING VFR THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD.
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE AT THE SITES THIS AFTERNOON
AS INSTABILITY INCREASES WITH AFTERNOON HEATING...BUT UPPER SINKING
MOTION WILL OPPOSE DEVELOPMENT. THUS UNCERTAIN AS TO EXTENT OF
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND ANY TYPE OF PLACEMENT/TIMING. WITH THIS
IN MIND WILL GO WITH VCTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AT THE SITES AS
DEVELOPMENT COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME BUT MAY NOT HAPPEN AT ANY
PARTICULAR SITE. FOR TONIGHT CONTINUED TO CARRY VCTS AT KLAF ALL
NIGHT SINCE IT WOULD BE CLOSEST TO DEALING WITH ANY CONVECTION THAT
COULD RIDE OVER THE RIDGE. COULD ALSO SEE SOME FOG THERE WITH IT
BEING NORTH OF THE FRONT AND HAVING LIGHT WINDS. GOING WITH VCTS
AGAIN TOMORROW STARTING AROUND 15Z WITH AN UPPER WAVE PROVIDING MORE
WIDESPREAD FORCING.
