AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1022 PM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

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

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 335 PM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

AN UPPER LEVEL WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL PRODUCE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING.
OTHERWISE...A BUILDING UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S. WILL BRING HOTTER CONDITIONS
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. A FEW STORMS MAY DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS SUNDAY AND BECOME
MORE NUMEROUS SUNDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH INTO OUR REGION. THIS FRONT WILL
TEMPORARILY STALL NEAR THE OHIO RIVER MONDAY AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE SOUTHEAST LATE TUESDAYS.
ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OUR WAY LATE NEXT WEEK.

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 335 PM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70 JUST NORTH OF INDY TO
NEAR LAFAYETTE WITH ANOTHER AREA OVER RANDOLPH COUNTY. LAPS SHOWS CAPES OF 3,500 J/KG
ACROSS OUR NORTHERN SECTIONS. SCATTERED STORMS WILL BE THE RULE EARLY THIS EVENING
WITH ALL OF THIS DYING OFF BY MIDNIGHT WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND A BUILDING
UPPER UPPER RIDGE.

MODELS INDICATE SOME CLEARING LATER TONIGHT. BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME WIND AS WELL
OVERNIGHT WHICH SHOULD KEEP LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S.

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 335 PM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

A BUILDING UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S. WILL BRING SOME OF THE HOTTEST
TEMPERATURES SO FAR THIS SEASON AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES RISE TO +22 TO +24 CELSIUS.
WENT NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW ON A MOS BLEND ON TEMPERATURES SATURDAY DUE TO A WET GROUND...
BUT STILL WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS AND MIDDLE 90S ACROSS
THE SOUTHWEST. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 100'S OVER NORTHEAST
SECTIONS TO ALMOST 110 AT VINCENNES. NORTHEAST SECTIONS MAY BE A LITTLE SHORT OF
ADVISORY CONDITIONS...BUT WENT WITH A HEAT ADVISORY ALL AREAS.

HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS MAY BE NEEDED AGAIN SUNDAY FOR PORTIONS OF OUR SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST.

SOUNDINGS INDICATE A STRONGER CAP SATURDAY AS 700 MB TEMPERATURES RISE TO +10 TO +12 CELSIUS.
WOULD NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STORM SATURDAY ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST WHERE CAP IS WEAKER...
BUT CHANCES ARE TOO LOW TO MENTION. WILL BEGIN THUNDERSTORM CHANCES NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT
AND ALL AREAS SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO OUR REGION. SUNDAY APPEARS QUITE STORMY
NORTH BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND ELSEWHERE SUNDAY NIGHT. COULD BE A FEW STORMS MONDAY
CENTRAL AND SOUTH AS WEAK FRONT STALLS NEAR THE OHIO RIVER. TEMPERATURES BY MONDAY
SHOULD BE BACK TO NEAR SEASONAL NORMS AS SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR PUSHES IN.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED 335 PM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

A RIDGE ALOFT WILL ONCE AGAIN RETROGRADE BACK INTO THE HIGH PLAINS BY EARLY
NEXT WORK WEEK. THUS...COOLER NORTHWEST FLOW WILL RESUME OVER THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE BACK TO NORMAL AFTER A FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE THIS
WEEKEND. AND ACTUALLY HIGHS ON MONDAY THROUGH POSSIBLY MID WEEK MAY FALL JUST
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...AVERAGING IN THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. NOT TO MENTION DEW POINTS IN THE 60S WILL ALLOW FOR
LESS HUMID CONDITIONS. AFTER SOME WEAK CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LINGERING ON MONDAY NIGHT...A LONG STRETCH OF DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
AT LEAST MIDWEEK...THEN A SHORTWAVE IS PROJECTED TO MOVE ALONG A BOUNDARY WHICH
INITIALLY STALLS JUST NORTH OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.

THEN THE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE EAST OVER THE REGION AND RETURN FLOW WILL
COMMENCE ACROSS THE AREA...AND CONDITIONS WILL WARM BACK UP AND BECOME MORE HUMID.
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE BEGINNING THURSDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK...HOWEVER NOT ANY HIGHER
THAN 20 TO 30 PERCENT POPS BASED ON LIMITED MOISTURE...LACK OF A
DECENT FORCING MECHANISM...AND EXPECTED COVERAGE.

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 180300Z KIND TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 1022 PM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

CONVECTION IN THE PROCESS OF DYING OUT ACROSS THE AREA. SMALL CONVECTIVE
CLUSTER DROPPING SOUTHEAST THROUGH WEST CENTRAL INDIANA SHOULD PASS TO THE WEST
OF THE KIND TERMINAL.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.

SCATTERED CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS ONGOING OVER PARTS OF THE AREA...MAINLY
IMPACTING THE KLAF/KIND TERMINALS SO FAR. STORMS APPEARS TO BE AIDED BY AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CURVING FROM NORTHEAST ILLINOIS INTO SOUTHEAST
INDIANA...AND A RIBBON OF ENHANCED 850MB FLOW AROUND 25 KTS.

SHORT TERM MODEL DATA SUGGEST THE AREA OF ENHANCED 850MB FLOW WILL SAG SOUTH
AND WEAKEN LATER THIS EVENING...SO EXPECTED THE CONVECTIVE THREAT TO DIMINISH
BY 180300Z-180400Z FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS
AND GUSTY/SHIFTING WINDS IN AND NEAR CONVECTION CB BASES AROUND 025.

EXPECTING SOME FOG TO DEVELOP DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS OF SATURDAY GIVEN THE
HUMID AIR MASS AND LIGHT WINDS. LOW CONFIDENCE IN IFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS
AT THIS TIME GIVEN QUESTIONS REVOLVING AROUND HOW MUCH CURRENT CONVECTION WILL
KEEP THE AIR MASS MIXED UP. WILL KEEP VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS ABOVE IFR FOR NOW.

OUTSIDE OF COVECTIVE AREAS...SURFACE WINDS 210-230 DEGREES AT 8-11 KTS THIS
EVENING DIMINISHING TO 6 KTS OR LESS BY LATE EVENING.
