Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 12:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
1257 PM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 435 AM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014
AS A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE AREA THERE IS AN
INCREASED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM MIDDAY INTO
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE DROPS
INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS DISTURBANCE WILL PROVIDE DRY AND COOLER THAN NORMAL
CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1023 AM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014
RAISED POPS INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG/SOUTHEAST OF HWY 24 IN
IN/OH PER RADAR/SATELLITE TRENDS AS SHOWERS/ISO THUNDER BEGINNING
TO GROW IN COVERAGE ALONG REMNANT CONVERGENT BOUNDARY. A LOW END
THREAT FOR SVR HAIL EXISTS WITH THIS ACTIVITY.
THE MAIN FOCUS REMAINS ON SEVERE POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AS
LEADING EDGE OF SIG HEIGHT FALLS/COLD POOL ALOFT OVERSPREADS MOIST
LOW LEVEL AIRMASS IN PLACE. LOW STRATUS DECK LINGERING OVER THE
AREA APPEARS RATHER THIN AND MAY SCATTER OUT ENOUGH TO ERODE MORE
SIGNIFICANT MLCIN IN PLACE. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR CONDITIONS WOULD
BECOME FAVORABLE FOR BROKEN CONVECTIVE LINE SEGMENTS TO DEVELOP
AND GROW UPSCALE ESE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BTW 19-23Z.
MODERATE INSTABILITY (STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN) AND STRONG DEEP
LAYER SHEAR (50 KTS...HIGH CONFIDENCE) DEFINITELY SUGGEST A SEVERE
WIND/HAIL THREAT AND POSSIBLY A LOW TORNADO THREAT IF ANY
BOWING/ORGANIZATION OCCURS. WITH INCREASING CONFIDENCE OPTED TO
ADD A SEVERE MENTION TO THE GRIDS AND BUMP POPS INTO LIKELY.
OTHERWISE...ONLY MINOR TWEAKS MADE TO THE GRIDS/HWO.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 432 AM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014
DIFFICULTY CENTERED UPON CONVECTION POTENTIAL TODAY. LARGE CONGEALED
COLD POOL PUSH SEWD FROM SAT AFTERNOON CONVECTION ACRS NERN IN/NWRN
OH FOLLOWED BY WAKE OF MID MS VLY TO LWR OH VLY COMPLEX...HAS LEFT
CWA AMID STRONG MLCIN ON ORDER OF 100-200 J/KG. CONVECTION FIRING
ALONG WEAKNESS IN EML THROUGH CENTRAL ILLINOIS WITHIN HIGHLY
CONVERGENT 925-8H MB FLOW OWING TO WEAK FRONTAL WAVE OVR WCNTL IL
AND RAMPING WSWLY LLVL JETLET TO 40-45 KTS ALONG MISSOURI I70
CORRIDOR. PRIMARY CLUSTER TO TRACK INTO CENTRAL INDIANA...THOUGH
WEAKER CONVECTION FARTHER NORTH/VCNTY KPNT MAY CLIP FAR SWRN/SRN CWA
LATER THIS AM. RAMPING CONVECTIVE CHCS BY LATE MORNING WITH APPROACH
OF SECONDARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO DROP SEWD ASSOCD WITH INTENSE MID
TROPOSPHERIC VORTEX OVR NRN MN MOVING TO NEAR SAGINAW BAY BY 00 UTC
MON. HIGH NEAR SURFACE MOISTURE CONTENT POOLED THROUGHOUT HIGHLY
EFFICIENT EVAPOTRANSPIRATIVE CORN BELT LEADING TO WIDESPREAD
STRATUS/BR PATCHY DENSE FOG DEVELOPMENT THIS AM. CONCERN THAT LESS
THAN STELLAR MORNING INSOLATION TO LIMIT OVERALL INSTABILITY ACROSS
PREFRONTAL REGION. STILL BY MIDDAY MODIFIED NAM12 SOUNDINGS OF NEAR
80/LWR 70S SUPPORT NEAR 3000 J/KG SBCAPE. LEADING EDGE OF
SIGNIFICANT 60-80M/12 HR HEIGHT FALLS ALONG WITH STRONG KINEMATIC
PROFILE WITH SLIGHT VEERING /DEEP LAYER SHEAR VECTORS ON ORDER OF
40-50KTS/ COULD PROMOTE UPSCALE CONVECTIVE GROWTH IN PREFRONTAL ZONE
MIDDAY INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IN NW THROUGH SE FASHION. PRESENCE
OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR ALONG WITH MDPI AROUND 1.1/WINDEX GTE 50KTS
SUGGEST ISOLD DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL. FAVORABLE WETBULB ZERO
HEIGHTS NEAR 11.5 KFT WOULD ALSO SUPPORT HAIL PRODUCTION SHOULD
HIGHER END CAPE VALUES BE REALIZED. GIVEN SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH
REGARD TO DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND MESOSCALE INTRICACIES...WILL
RELEGATE MENTION OF SEVERE POTENTIAL TO HWO. LOWERED MAX TEMPS TODAY
A FEW DEGREES/CLOSER TO 3 HOURLY TEMPS NUDGED TOWARD LATEST GUIDANCE
BLENDS.
&&
.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 432 AM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014
UPPER LOW NEAR JAMES BAY WILL REMAIN STATIONARY FOR FIRST FEW
DAYS BEFORE EDGING SLOWLY NE TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD. WILL
BLEND WITH SHORT TERM FOR START OF PERIOD WITH REMOVAL OF SLGT CHC
POPS FAR EAST AS SYSTEM AND DEEPEST MSTR WILL BE GONE BY THE START
OF THE PERIOD. GENERAL NW FLOW WILL KEEP TEMPS RUNNING 10 DEGREES OR
SO BELOW NORMAL BUT STILL PLEASANT FOR THE END OF JULY. MODELS DO
ALL AGREE ON A WEAK (578 DM) UPPER LEVEL LOW CUTTING OFF FROM THE
MAIN FLOW LATE IN THE PERIOD WITH SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES TO MOVE
INTO THE GREAT LAKES. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS COULD MATERIALIZE
STARTING AS EARLY AS WEDS/WEDS NGT BUT DEEPER MOISTURE WILL REMAIN
WELL SOUTH OF THE REGION WITH ONLY HOPE FOR INCREASE OCCURRING FROM
PACIFIC FLOW THAT MAY RIDE OVER TOP THE RIDGE INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
500 MB TEMPS WILL DROP TO THE MID NEGATIVE TEENS BUT SHIFT NE OF THE
AREA AS ANY MOISTURE ARRIVES. GIVEN THESE CONCERNS AND QUESTION AS
TO TIMING AND EXACT DYNAMICS WITH EACH WAVE TOUGH TO MUDDLE FORECAST
WITH A BUNCH OF SLGT CHC OR BORDERLINE CHC POPS. 00Z MEN NUMBERS
ALSO COMING IN GENERALLY BELOW CLIMO...GIVING MORE CREDENCE TO DRY
FORECAST FOR THE TIME BEING.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1257 PM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014
IFR/LOW MVFR CIGS AT FWA ALONG LEFTOVER CONVERGENT MOISTURE
BOUNDARY SHOULD MIX OUT TO A HIGH MVFR/LOW VFR STRATOCU DECK
SHORTLY AFTER TAF ISSUANCE. SBN ALREADY WELL MIXED IN ADVANCE OF
IMPRESSIVE MID LVL TROUGH AXIS THAT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT AT LEAST SCT CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ON
LEADING EDGE OF COLD POCKET ALOFT WITH TEMPO TSRA TIMING BASED
LARGELY ON LAST FEW HRRR ITERATIONS. STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE
WITH LARGE HAIL/STRONG GUSTS...BETTER CHANCES AT FWA. A PERIOD OF
MAINLY VFR/DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN WAKE OF CONVECTION LATE THIS

ISSUED AT 432 AM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014
STRONG 3-6MB/6 HOUR POST FRONTAL PRESSURE RISES TO DROP SWD FROM
