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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 238 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO
CENTRAL INDIANA TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL
BRING SMALL CHANCES FOR MORE RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
MORNING. AFTER A BRIEF DRY PERIOD...MORE CHANCES FOR RAIN RETURN
SUNDAY INTO NEXT TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO ABOVE AVERAGE
BY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 1006 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014

ELONGATED LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS THIS EVENING WITH A
WARM FRONT ARCING BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER WABASH
VALLEY AND INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA. TEMPS AT 02Z WERE IN THE 60S AND
LOWER 70S.

BULK OF THE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION SHIFTING NORTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA ALREADY WITH SCATTERED POCKETS OF PRECIP FROM THE LOWER
WABASH VALLEY UP INTO THE INDY METRO. INTERESTING MESOSCALE SETUP
FOR A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING CONTRIBUTED TO A LOCALIZED THREAT OF
ROTATING CELLS NEAR THE WARM FRONT...PRIMARILY FROM KNOX AND
DAVIESS COUNTIES INTO GREENE AND SOUTHERN OWEN COUNTIES. CLOUDS
BROKE UP JUST LONG ENOUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST FORECAST AREA TO
SUPPORT A WEAKLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS. COMBINED WITH ENHANCED SHEAR
AND HELICITY IN THE VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT...THE ATMOSPHERE
BECAME SUPPORTIVE FOR ROTATORS FOR 1-2 HOURS. IN ADDITION DEEP
MOISTURE PRESENT NEAR THE SURFACE AND LOW LIFTED CONDENSATION
LEVELS ENABLED STORMS TO EXHIBIT ROTATION NEAR TO THE SURFACE.
HAVE RECEIVED WALL CLOUD/FUNNEL CLOUD AND A FEW TORNADO REPORTS
BUT THANKFULLY TO THIS POINT...ONLY MINIMAL DAMAGE PRIMARILY TO
TREE LIMBS.

WITH THE LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING...CELLS HAVE WEAKENED
CONSIDERABLY OVER THE LAST HOUR OR SO WITH NO ADDITIONAL SEVERE
WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. SCATTERED
CONVECTION WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH THE BROAD UPPER LOW
IN THE AREA...BUT MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIP SHOULD REMAIN NORTH AS THE
WARM FRONT LIFTS THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT. MINOR CHANGES TO
TEMPS AND WINDS BASED ON CURRENT OBS...OTHERWISE NO ADDITIONAL
SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES.

ZONE AND GRID UPDATES OUT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

ISSUED AT 238 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014

FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON CHANCES FOR RAIN THROUGH THE PERIOD.
MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT SO USED A BLEND.

ON WEDNESDAY THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MEANDER INTO THE AREA.
HOWEVER IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL TAKE SOME BUILDING OF INSTABILITY
BEFORE CONVECTION BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD...SIMILAR TO WHAT
OCCURRED TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS MISSOURI.

THUS WILL GO CHANCE POPS IN THE MORNING WITH LIKELY POPS IN THE
AFTERNOON. WILL ONLY MENTION THUNDER IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN
INSTABILITY IS MAXIMIZED.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE LOW WILL EXIT AND A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH. WITH LIMITED FORCING AND INSTABILITY ONLY WENT LOW CHANCE
POPS DURING THE EVENING AND DRY MOST AREAS AFTER 06Z.

THURSDAY SHOULD BE DRY WITH CENTRAL INDIANA IN BETWEEN THE EXITING
SYSTEM AND A COLD FRONT TO THE WEST. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT BUT THERE WILL NOT BE A LOT OF FORCING WITH
IT. ONLY WENT LOW CHANCE POPS.

BY FRIDAY MORNING THE FRONT SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND EAST TO
ONLY GO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA.
AS THE FRONT EXITS THE AREA BY AFTERNOON...WENT DRY THEN.

FOR TEMPERATURES GENERALLY STUCK WITH A MODEL BLEND THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD. HOWEVER DID GO CLOSER TO THE COOLER MET NUMBERS
ON WEDNESDAY WITH CLOUDS AND RAIN AROUND.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 201 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014

DRY AND WARMER WEATHER LOOKS TO KICK OFF THE WEEKEND AS THE GFS
AND ECMWF SUGGEST A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. WITH
THE SURFACE HIGH IN PLACE OVER CENTRAL INDIANA ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY...PLEASANT AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

BY SUNDAY THE GFS AND ECMWF SUGGEST THE HIGH WILL DRIFT EAST OF
INDIANA AND A RETURN FLOW OF WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR WILL
RETURN TO THE OHIO VALLEY. GFS SUGGEST A WEAK SHORT WAVE PUSHING
OUR OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO INDIANA AND THE GREAT
LAKES...INTERACTING WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS. THUS BEST
CHANCES FOR PRECIP WITH UPPER SUPPORT LOOKS LIKE MONDAY...HOWEVER
ALLBLEND CONTINUES TO PROVIDE POPS ON SUNDAY AND TUESDAY GIVEN THE
WARM AND MOIST AIR AND POSSIBLE DIURNAL CONVECTION.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 110600Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 1233 AM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

SITES SHOULD START OUT MVFR WITH SHOWERS LESSENING IN COVERAGE AS
LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM WESTERN ILLINOIS INTO CENTRAL INDIANA.
EXPECT CEILINGS TO DROP TO IFR AND POSSIBLY LIFR WITH VISIBILITIES
DROPPING TO IFR AS WELL WITH PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.
CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR BY LATE MORNING /AROUND 15Z OR
SO/. WILL SEE MORE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON.
WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF SHOWERS BUT LEAVE THUNDER OUT FOR NOW WITH
EXACT TIMING AND PLACEMENT STILL UP IN THE AIR.
