.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 254 AM EDT THU APR 3 2014

A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH OVER INDIANA
EARLY TODAY. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS MORNING THROUGH TODAY/...

ISSUED AT 1011 AM EDT THU APR 3 2014

THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WERE FILLING BACK IN FROM THE WEST
JUST AHEAD OF AN UPPER WAVE. FLOOD WARNINGS ARE NOW IN EFFECT
THROUGH 3 PM FOR ALL BUT THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR. THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE SHOULD BE DECREASING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE WAVE PASSES. COULD SEE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
APPROACH OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES NEAR 00Z PER THE 11Z RAPID
REFRESH REFLECTIVITY PROGS. IN THE MEANTIME...LARGE TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT IS IN PLACE AS THE WARM FRONT WAS LIFTING NORTHEAST TO
AROUND A TERRE HAUTE TO SEYMOUR LINE. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE LOWER
40S IN THE KOKOMO AREA AND THE LOWER 60S IN THE VINCENNES AREA. THE
FRONT SHOULD SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEAST TO OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES BY 00Z.
WILL ADD A HYDROLOGY SECTION WITH ALL THE WATER ISSUES ONGOING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

AS OF 245 AM THIS MORNING OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A WARM FRONT
ORIENTED W-E ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE FORECAST AREA.
PRESENCE OF WARM ADVECTION AND INCREASING MOISTURE LED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LAST NIGHT THROUGH THIS
MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS
AND REMAIN BELOW SEVERE THRESHOLDS.

CONCERN THEN TURNS TO THE SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHEASTERN IOWA
AND NE MO. THIS SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY APPROACH INDIANA THROUGH
12Z...AND IS PROGGED TO CROSS THE CWA FROM ROUGHLY 12-18Z THIS
MORNING (ENDING EARLY AFTERNOON). THIS WILL BRING WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL TO THE AREA AND AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION. SEVERE STORMS
ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS...WITH HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AS THE MAIN
THREATS. IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE THREATS PWATS OF 1.5 INCHES WILL
ALLOW THE THREAT FOR FLOODING TO INCREASE. THE FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL
OF CENTRAL INDIANA WILL REMAIN INTACT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING THERE WILL LIKELY BE A LULL
IN ACTIVITY BEFORE A STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH.
STARTED OFF PERIOD THIS MORNING AT 12-15Z WITH 100% POPS AND THEN
DWINDLED THESE CHANCES LATER IN THE DAY TO CHANCE POPS.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...HIGHS TRICKY DUE TO EXACT PLACEMENT OF
THE WARM FRONT BUT THINK MOS HAS A GOOD HANDLE AND ONLY UNDERCUT BY
A DEGREE OR TWO TO ACCOUNT FOR CLOUDS/RAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A FAIRLY
GOOD TEMPERATURE GRADIENT OF HIGHS IN THE LOW 50S (FAR NORTH) TO
AROUND 70 ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN TIER COUNTIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 254 AM EDT THU APR 3 2014

AS MENTION ABOVE THERE WILL LIKELY BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY BEFORE THE
NEXT WAVE ARRIVES TONIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT. LAPSE
RATES/DEEP LAYER SHEAR LOOK ADEQUATE FOR A SEVERE THREAT LATE
TONIGHT. CENTRAL INDIANA REMAINS IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER
THROUGH TONIGHT WITH THE THREATS BEING DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL
AND TORNADOES...IN ADDITION TO THE FLOODING.

MODEL DATA INDICATE THE COLD FRONT WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BY
MIDDAY FRIDAY...SO WILL CUT OFF THE POPS AFTER THAT TIME. MAY GET
QUITE WINDY ON FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...WITH THE POTENTIAL
TO MIX DOWN SOME HIGHER WINDS WITH THE MID LEVEL JET OVERHEAD. A
WIND ADVISORY MAY BE WARRANTED DURING THIS TIME.

MUCH QUIETER WEATHER IN STORE FOR THIS WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW CLIMO FOR THE REST
OF THE PERIOD WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S AND LOWS IN THE 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 310 AM EDT THU APR 3 2014

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE ACROSS OUR AREA OVER THE WEEKEND.  MODELS
DEVELOP A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
SUNDAY AND THEN MOVE IT TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY MONDAY AND THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES BY MONDAY EVENING.  ALL MODELS INDICATE VERY WET
WEATHER SPREADING NORTH INTO OUR REGION LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND
CONTINUING MONDAY.  WILL CONTINUE LIKELY POPS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
SOUTH HALF AND ALL AREAS MONDAY.  A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WILL PROBABLY
PERSIST MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFIES ACROSS
OUR REGION.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE PLAINS TUESDAY AND INTO THE MIDDLE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY WEDNESDAY.  AT THE MOMENT MOST ENSEMBLES
INDICATE DRY WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS CLOSER TO OUR REGION.

ALL BLEND SEEM TO DEPICT TEMPERATURES REASONABLY WELL. ONLY CHANGES
WERE TO TWEAK TEMPERATURES UP A FEW DEGREES IN OUR SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS SEVERAL MODELS ARE TRACKING THE
SURFACE LOW A LITTLE FATHER WEST.  ALSO TWEAKED TEMPERATURES UP
SLIGHTLY MOST AREAS MONDAY NIGHT DUE TO CLOUDS.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 031800Z TAFS/...
ISSUED AT 1258 PM EDT THU APR 3 2014

MAJORITY OF THE CONVECTION HAS PASSED OFF TO THE EAST OF THE TAF
SITES...WITH SOME RAIN LINGERING ACROSS THE AREA. APPEARS THE RAIN
WILL DIMINISH BY THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS AS UPPER WAVE
PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST.

MODEL DATA SUGGEST A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP LATE THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE AREA. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS REMAIN HIGH...SO
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE TAF SITES AFTER ABOUT
040300Z. BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS AND GUSTY SHIFTING WINDS
EXPECTED NEAR THE STRONGER CELLS.

OTHERWISE...CEILINGS HAVE BEEN QUITE VARIABLE OVER THE PAST FEW
HOURS AS CONVECTION HAS MIXED UP THE AIR MASS. THINK CEILINGS WILL
EVENTUALLY SETTLE IN THE 015-025 RANGE WITH AREAS OF IFR CEILINGS

TO BECOME MORE PREVALENT AFTER DARK.
