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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 145 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014

A COLD FRONT OVER WISCONSIN AND IOWA IS EXPECTED TO PUSH TOWARD
AND ACROSS INDIANA TONIGHT. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A
THUNDERSTORM ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...RESULTING IN SOME LIGHT RAIN AMOUNTS TONIGHT.

THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY PUSH SOUTHEAST OF INDIANA ON SUNDAY MORNING
AND TAKE ANY RAIN CHANCES WITH IT. BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...ANOTHER
COOL CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO BUILD ACROSS THE
REGION. THIS WILL BRING DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES TO INDIANA FOR MUCH OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 920 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TONIGHT WILL BE POPS.

AS OF 0030Z A LINE HAD REACHED THE CENTRAL CWA. NEW CONVECTION WAS
DEVELOPING BEHIND IT. THIS CORRESPONDS WELL TO WHAT MODEL QPF HAS
BEEN INDICATING. THAT IS...PRECIPITATION WONT END UNTIL QUITE LATE
TONIGHT WHEN A FRONT NOW CLOSE TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRINGS IN
DRIER AIR.

THE HIGH POPS FROM THE EARLIER FORECAST LOOK GOOD. CONDITIONS ARE
STILL UNSTABLE ENOUGH THE FORECAST NEEDS TO CONTAIN THUNDER.
SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TO BECOME THE MAIN PRECIPITATION TYPE AS
NIGHTTIME STABILIZATION PROGRESSES.

SINCE THE SITUATION IS DEVELOPING ABOUT AS THE EARLIER FORECASTER
EXPECTED...THE ONGOING TEMPERATURE FORECAST SHOULD WORK OUT WELL.
&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 145 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014

ONLY CHALLENGE DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE TEMPS. IN THE WAKE OF
THE COLD FRONT...COLD AIR ADVECTION BEGINS ON NORTHERLY WINDS
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY ON SUNDAY. LARGE...EXTENSIVE HIGH PRESSURE
IS EXPECTED TO DIVE SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
SOUTHERN CANADA. THIS RESULTING DRY WEATHER TO CENTRAL INDIANA
THROUGH THIS PERIOD. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT THIS...DRYING OUT
DRAMATICALLY THROUGH THE PERIOD ALONG WITH SHOWING UNATTAINABLE
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE DAY. THUS WILL AIM FOR MOSTLY
SUNNY DAYS AND MOSTLY SUNNY NIGHTS.

COLD AIR ADVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE
INTO MONDAY NIGHT. IT IS ONLY BY TUESDAY THAT THE SURFACE HIGH IS
EXPECTED TO SETTLE OVER CENTRAL INDIANA...ALLOWING A MORE EASTERLY
OR SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP. THUS WITH GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING EXPECTED AMID THE COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL TREND LOWS AT OR
BELOW A BLEND OF MAVMOS AND METMOS. AS FOR HIGHS WILL A BLEND WILL
WORK NICELY WITH A SLOW WARNING TREND BEGINNING ON TUESDAY. WILL

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 210300Z IND TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 1020 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014

NO CHANGES NEEDED TO THE TAF.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA REACHING LAF
AFTER 06Z...AND THE OTHER SITES AFTER 10Z. RADAR TRENDS AND RAPID
REFRESH REFLECTIVITY PROG MIX SUGGEST THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS WILL
REACH LAF NEAR 00Z. LEFT TEMPO THUNDERSTORM GROUP IN THROUGH 02Z AND
VCTS THROUGH 07Z THERE TO COVER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL STORMS CLOSER TO
THE FRONT. DID SIMILAR FOR THE OTHER TAF SITES WITH LATER TIMING
WITH TEMPO GROUP FROM 01Z TO 04Z AT IND AND HUF. ALSO WENT WITH
CONVECTIVE GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS IN THE TEMPO WINDOW WITH MVFR CEILINGS.
CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY GOOD REGARDING TIMING. COULD SEE SOME LOW
STRATOCU WITH THE FRONT...BUT FOR NOW KEPT JUST SCATTERED MVFR AND
VFR CEILING.

WINDS WILL VEER FROM SOUTHWEST TO WEST TO NORTHWEST DURING THE
FRONTAL EVOLUTION THROUGH THE TAF SITES WITH SUSTAINED GRADIENT
WINDS NEAR 10 KNOTS TONIGHT AND INCREASING TO 10 TO 15 WITH GUSTS TO
AROUND 20 SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
