NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 14, 2:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 2:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 230 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014 .UPDATE... THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM...AND SHORT TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 230 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014 A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND AHEAD OF IT. BEHIND THE FRONT WILL COME UNSEASONABLY COOL AIR. THE COOL AIR WILL SLOWLY MODERATE INTO THE WEEKEND WITH HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDING DRY CONDITIONS. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 230 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014 THUNDERSTORMS WILL WORK ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND SOME OF THEM COULD BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. LATEST TIMING OF THESE STORMS PUT MOST OF THEM THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY 00Z. HOWEVER...REGIONAL RADAR STILL SHOWS ADDITIONAL RAIN IN MISSOURI BEHIND THE MAIN LINE. MODELS STILL INDICATING THREAT FOR RAIN AFTER 00Z AS WELL. GIVEN THESE WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THIS EVENING...WITH ALL POPS ENDING BY 06Z. SKIES WILL THEN BE PARTLY CLOUDY. MAV MOS LOOKS GOOD FOR LOW TEMPERATURES WITH COOLER AIR MOVING IN. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... ISSUED AT 230 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014 FOCUS IS ON TEMPERATURES FIRST THEN ON ANY CHANCES FOR RAIN. MODELS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH THAT A BLEND WAS USED. CORE OF COLD AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE IN ON TUESDAY AND ALLOW CUMULUS CLOUDS TO QUICKLY DEVELOP IN THE MORNING. THESE WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES COOL...BUT STILL FEEL THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SUNSHINE TO GET TEMPERATURES TO NEAR A BLEND OF MAV/MET MOS. THESE HIGHS WILL BE CLOSE TO RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES FOR THE DATE. CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES TUESDAY NIGHT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DIP INTO THE 50S...CLOSE TO A MODEL BLEND. ON WEDNESDAY THE CORE OF THE COLD AIR WILL HAVE MOVED OFF...AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO GET A LITTLE WARMER /BUT STILL WELL BELOW AVERAGE/. THINK MOS MAY BE WARMING UP THINGS TOO FAST SO STUCK CLOSER TO A RAW MODEL BLEND. TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE MORE ON THURSDAY AND SHOULD REACH THE MID 70S. AS FOR CHANCES OF RAIN...EVEN THOUGH COLD CORE MOVES OVER ON TUESDAY INSTABILITY IS LOW ENOUGH THAT CHANCES OF RAIN WILL BE LOW ENOUGH NOT TO MENTION. MODELS SHOW MORE INSTABILITY ON WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH PERHAPS SOME UPPER FORCING...ESPECIALLY NORTH. HOWEVER STILL FEEL THAT ODDS OF SHOWERS IN CENTRAL INDIANA ARE TOO LOW TO MENTION YET. HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP THURSDAY DRY. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... ISSUED AT 143 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014 ECMWF AND GFS BOTH DEPICT A CONTINUATION OF THE DRY AND COOLER THAN NORMAL WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION AS HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVES EAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. AS THE HIGH SLOWLY PROGRESSES EASTWARD...WARMER...RETURN FLOW WILL BRING HUMIDITY AND WARMER TEMPERATURES EACH DAY BACK TOWARD CENTRAL INDIANA. BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION DURING THIS TIME WILL BE MONDAY AS THE ECMWF SHOWS A SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH INDIANA...HOWEVER THE GFS FAILS TO SHOW THIS FEATURE. THUS CONFIDENCE IS LOW AND WILL USE JUST A SLIGHT CHC OF POPS FOR NOW AS AT LEAST WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR SHOULD BE IN PLACE. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 141800Z TAFS/... ISSUED AT 1233 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014 VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE TAF SITES ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR OR WORSE THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT OVER ILLINOIS PUSHES A BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...A RETURN TO VFR IS EXPECTED AS SUBSIDENCE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A DRY COLUMN LATE TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY TUESDAY. ON TUESDAY...FORECAST SOUNDINGS REVEAL CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S THAT WILL EASILY BE REACHED AND BKN VFR SC CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
