Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 12:59 AM EDT, 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1259 AM EDT TUE JUL 1 2014

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT MON JUN 30 2014

COLD FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...CONTINUING THE RECENT ACTIVE PATTERN. HOWEVER...LARGE
DOME OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT WILL BRING
A RETURN TO COOLER TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER FOR THE LAST HALF
OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 1201 AM EDT TUE JUL 1 2014

QUICK UPDATE TO INCREASE POPS TO CATEGORICAL IN THE NORTHWEST AND
BRING LIKELY POPS AS FAR SOUTH AS I 70 CORRIDOR DURING THE
OVERNIGHT. ADDED HEAVY RAIN WORDING WITH LOW LEVEL JET PARALLEL TO
THE LINE AND DAMAGING WIND WORDING INTO THE NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES
IN THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT MON JUN 30 2014

WEAKENING COMPLEX OF STORMS MAY STILL BE OVER THE AREA EARLY
TUESDAY WITH THE FRONT TRAILING IT. MAY SEE STORMS REDEVELOPING
ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW
BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. WILL EVEN HAVE TO CARRY A
SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE SOUTH EARLY TOMORROW NIGHT.

SHOULD BE DRY LATE TOMORROW NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY...BUT SOME
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE UPPER TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH SOME SHALLOW INSTABILITY AND STEEP LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES. HOWEVER...K INDICES ARE LOW ENOUGH THAT THUNDER
APPEARS UNLIKELY AND WILL ONLY CARRY SHOWERS. REMAINDER OF THE
SHORT TERM WILL BE DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY BUILDS INTO THE
AREA.

MOS BLEND NUMBERS APPEARED REASONABLE ON TEMPERATURES BASED ON 850
TEMPS AND LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 235 PM EDT MON JUN 30 2014

MODELS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH THAT THE ALLBLEND INITIALIZATION CAN BE
ACCEPTED FOR MOST ITEMS.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE COOL AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST
HALF OF THE LONG TERM. A WARM FRONT AND WEAK UPPER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN
TO INFLUENCE THE AREA DURING THE SECOND HALF.

00Z ECMWF IS MUCH FASTER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE IN BRINGING IN RAIN
WITH THE FRONT...AS EARLY AS SUNDAY. 12Z GFS IS MUCH DRIER. HOWEVER
GFS ENSEMBLES ARE IN BETWEEN. FOR NOW WILL GO DRY ON SUNDAY AND ONLY
LOW POPS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY GIVEN THE HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN
TIMING OF RAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NORMAL BY MONDAY AS THE
WARM FRONT MOVES IN.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 010600Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 1258 AM EDT TUE JUL 1 2014

VFR CONDITIONS COULD POSSIBLY DETERIORATE TO MFVR/IFR CONDITIONS IN
ANY CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING. EVEN THOUGH TIMING AND COVERAGE
IS STILL HIGHLY SUSPECT...LEANED AWAY FROM MOST OF THE SHORT TERM
GUIDANCE WHICH SHOWS THE CURRENT LINE OVER NRN IL/IN MOVING E/SE
JUST WASHING OUT OVER CENTRAL INDIANA. BASED ON LATEST TRENDS THINK
THIS LINE WILL EVENTUALLY WORK IT/S WAY ACROSS THE CWA. TIMING IN
TAFS WAS BASED ON PROGRESSION OF THE LINE THUS FAR.

LATEST THINKING IS THIS WILL MAKE IT/S WAY ACROSS MOST OF THE TAF
SITES RANGING FROM 06Z TO THE NORTH...TO 10Z TO THE SOUTH.

WINDS TONIGHT SHOULD REMAIN UP ENOUGH TO PREVENT FOG...BUT WILL HAVE
TO WATCH CLOSELY. COLD FRONT COULD BRING ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AFTER
12Z TODAY SO WENT VCSH ALL SITES...THEN DRY BY THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
