1033 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 216 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

LOW PRESSURE OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL PUSH NORTHEAST ACROSS
INDIANA THIS MORNING...BEFORE EXITING THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. AS
THE LOW PUSHES ACROSS THE STATE...SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO
ACCOMPANY THE SYSTEM. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPER OFF THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE LOW EXITS TO THE NORTHEAST.

HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY...BRINGING DRY WEATHER BACK TO CENTRAL INDIANA. ANOTHER
UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL WILL PUSH ACROSS INDIANA ON LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...BRINGING RAIN CHANCES BACK TO CENTRAL
INDIANA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

MORE SUMMER LIKE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN BY SATURDAY
AND MUCH OF NEXT WEEK AS A SOUTHWEST FLOW OF AIR RETURNS TO
CENTRAL INDIANA

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 1005 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO NORTHWEST OHIO AS OF 14Z WITH A TRAILING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AND
INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. LIGHT SHOWERS CONTINUED ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPS RANGED
MAINLY FROM THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S UNDER PLENTY OF LOWER CLOUDS.

COUPLE MINOR CHANGES NEEDED FOR MORNING UPDATE. THE LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO INTO THE AFTERNOON
WITH THE FRONT EVENTUALLY SETTLING NEAR THE OHIO RIVER BY LATE DAY.
HI-RES GUIDANCE SHOWING MOST OF THE SHOWERS SHOULD BE EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS...BUT PLAN ON CONTINUING
LOW CHANCE POP INTO THE AFTERNOON OVER SOUTHEAST COUNTIES WITH THE
BOUNDARY IN THE AREA. REMOVED ISOLATED THUNDER MENTION AS RAP/HRRR
SHOWS VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF INSTABILITY NOW AND THROUGH MUCH OF
THE REST OF THE DAY.

UNFORTUNATELY...THIS LIKELY TO REMAIN ANOTHER CLOUDY GRAY DAY FOR
CENTRAL INDIANA AS MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND A
SUBTLE INVERSION LINGERING WITHIN WEAK COLD ADVECTION REGIME
BEHIND THE FRONT. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM MOVING LITTLE THROUGH
THE COURSE OF THE DAY...WITH LOW TO MID 70S AT BEST. ALSO ADDED
WIND GUSTS CONSIDERING CURRENT CONDITIONS AND A MODEST SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE REGION.

ZONE AND GRID UPDATES OUT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 216 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

GFS AND NAM SUGGEST WEAK RIDGING BUILDING ACROSS INDIANA TONIGHT
AND FRIDAY AMID GOOD MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
LOOKS TO BE IN PLACE ACRS INDIANA AND THE OHIO VALLEY. TIME
HEIGHTS FAIL TO SHOW DEEP MOISTURE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A GOOD
MID LEVEL CAP IN PLACE ON FRIDAY...WITH SATURATION NEAR CCL/S.
THUS WILL TREND TOWARD A MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND NO PRECIP. AS FOR
TEMPS WILL TREND CLOSE TO MAVMOS GIVEN THE OPPOSING FORCES OF
EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION.

ON FRIDAY NIGHT...GFS AND NAM KEEP STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE
ALOFT OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AS A RIDGE RIDING WEAK SHORT WAVE IS
EXPECTED TO PUSH NORTHEAST ACROSS INDIANA OVERNIGHT. DEEP MOISTURE
REMAINS SUSPECT WITH THIS FEATURE AS GULF MOISTURE REALLY REMAINS
CUT OFF AND Q VECTORS SHOW LOWER LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS MINIMAL.
MEANWHILE THE GFS AND ECMWF HINT AT A DRY COLUMN WHILE THE NAM IS
SATURATED. GIVEN THE LACK OF LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE AND A POOR SET-
UP...WILL TREND POPS TOWARD THE VERY LOW SLIGHT CHC MAVMOS LEVELS.
WILL ALSO STICK CLOSE ON LOWS ON FRIDAY NIGHT AS CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW IN CLOUDS AND PRECIP.

BETTER FORCING LOOKS IN PLACE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY
NIGHT AS BOTH THE GFS AND AND SUGGEST A UPPER TROUGH AND SHORT
WAVE RIDING OVER THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS COME TO MORE AGREEMENT AT THAT TIME...SHOWING DEEPER
SATURATION WITH SOUTHERLY LOWER LEVEL FLOW. GFS PWATS EVEN RETURN
TO 1.95 INCHES BY 00Z SUNDAY. THUS WILL TREND POPS HIGHER ON LATE
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE WET PATTERN FOR CENTRAL INDIANA
CONTINUES. WILL KEEP HIGHS COOLER THAN MAVMOS ON SATURDAY AND
LOWS WARMER THAN MEXMOS ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 324 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE ANCHORED OVER THE SOUTH
CENTRAL U.S. FOR DURATION OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH WAVES RIDING
OVER IT. THESE WAVES COMBINED WITH A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL KEEP A WET PATTERN ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA FOR MOST OF THE
LONG TERM PERIOD.

HIGHEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES EARLY SUNDAY WILL BE CONCENTRATED
OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INDIANA AS A SURFACE FRONT
STAYS ON ITS NORTHWARD TRACK. A FEW UPPER WAVES WILL PUSH THAT
FRONT BACK SOUTH THOUGH AGAIN ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS A COLD
FRONT...ENHANCING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND
AHEAD OF FRONT. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL DIMINISH AS THE SECOND
OF THE TWO UPPER WAVES EXITS THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY TUESDAY
NIGHT.

SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MID MORNING WITH
FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS EASTERN HALF OF CENTRAL INDIANA. AS A
RESULT...WILL CARRY MENTION OF VCSH AND -RA AT ALL TAF SITES

ALOFT AND HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL STRENGTHEN
OVERNIGHT...SO WILL KEEP A DRY FORECAST THROUGH END OF TAF PERIOD.
HOWEVER...TIME CROSS SECTIONS ARE SHOWING SOME LINGERING MOISTURE
