AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
329 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 253 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY. IN THE WAKE OF THIS DISTURBANCE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 253 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

UPPER LOW CURRENTLY MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH MICHIGAN. RADAR AND SURFACE
REPORTS INDICATES SOME LIGHT RAIN MOVING BACK INTO WESTERN INDIANA IN
THE WRAP AROUND ZONE...BUT IT APPEARS MOST OF THIS WILL HAVE LIFTED OFF
TO THE NORTHEAST BY SUNRISE. WILL CONTINUE WITH A DRY FORECAST TODAY.

EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDS EXIST UPSTREAM...ALONG WITH A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL
INVERSION. AS A RESULT...DOUBTFUL THERE WILL MUCH CLEARING TODAY.

EXPECTING LITTLE TEMPERATURE RISE TODAY UNDER COLD ADVECTION AND CLOUD
COVER. WILL SHAVE A COUPLE OF DEGREES OFF OF THE GFS MOS HIGHS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 253 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

NEXT SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO EJECT OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES LATER
TODAY...EVENTUALLY PUSHING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON WEDNESDAY IN A
WEAKENING MODE. MOST OF THE DEEP MOISTURE HAS BEEN SWEPT AWAY BY THE
PREVIOUS SYSTEM AND IT APPEARS MOST OF THE LIFT WILL BE LOCATED OFF TO
THE NORTHWEST...SO DON/T THINK PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL OR QPF WILL BE
PARTICULARLY HIGH WITH THIS SYSTEM. WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS ON WEDNESDAY
AS A RESULT. CRITICAL THICKNESSES OFF THE OPERATIONAL MODELS SUGGEST
A MIX OF RAIN OR SNOW OVER ABOUT THE NORTHWEST TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST
AREA WITH RAIN FARTHER SOUTHEAST...HOWEVER THE ENSEMBLES ARE SOMEWHAT
WARMER.

MODELS SUGGEST WHAT IS LEFT OF THE MAIN WESTERN STATES TROUGH WILL BEGIN
SHEARING OUT ACROSS THE AREA IN THE LATER PERIODS OF THE SHORT TERM.
STOUT LOW LEVEL INVERSION LOOKS TO LINGER AS WELL...SO THINK THE REST OF
THE SHORT TERM WILL BE RATHER CLOUDY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW FLURRIES
AT TIMES.

DUE TO THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WILL NARROW THE
DIURNAL TEMPERATURE RANGE OF THE GFS MOS GUIDANCE BY ABOUT A CATEGORY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 222 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

LONG RANGE MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL THROUGH THIS PERIOD RESULTING IN
DRY WEATHER WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. ONE SHORT WAVE TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY WITH SOME SNOW SHOWERS BUT
THOSE EFFECTS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA. BEYOND THAT
A FAIRLY CLEAR SKY PERIOD EXPECTED TO HELP CONTINUE DRYING OUT
AFTER A WEEK OF HEAVY RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /UPDATE FOR KIND 290600Z TAF/...

ISSUED AT 326 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

ADDED A ONE HOUR PERIOD OF IFR DECKS AS LIGHT RAIN ON SURFACE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH. WINDS ALSO GET QUITE GUSTY WITH RAIN.
TWO HOURS AFTER RAIN AND TROUGH PASSAGE DECKS RECOVER TO 2500 FT
AND THEN 3000 FT AFTER 291600.

WINDS STILL GUSTY OVER 25 KTS UNTIL MIDDAY THEN BEGIN RELAXING.
