.UPDATE...

THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 150 PM EDT SAT MAR 14 2015

QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO CENTRAL INDIANA AS INDIANA
SEVERE WEATHER PREPAREDNESS WEEK KICKS OFF. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
PLAINS STATES IS EXPECTED TO BUILD ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA TONIGHT
AND SLOWLY PASS ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING
DRY AND MILD WEATHER TO THE STATE.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY
NIGHT. LITTLE TO NO MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS SYSTEM AND THIS
WILL RESULT IN A DRY WEATHER ALONG WIT THE ARRIVAL OF SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY.

THE NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE THURSDAY AS A WEAK FRONT
PASSES ACROSS THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 920 PM EDT SAT MAR 14 2015

WITH THE HIGH CLOUDS SLOW TO MOVE OUT AND THICK...HAD TO INCREASE
SKY COVER FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING.

PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TONIGHT WILL BE TEMPS.

SURFACE ANALYSIS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER WHILE HIGH PRESSURE WAS IN PLACE OVER THE
PLAINS STATES. NORTHERLY SURFACE FLOW WAS IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL
INDIANA WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 40S. RADAR NO LONGER SHOWED ECHOS
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA AND VISIBLE PICTURES SHOW THIN CLOUDS
BUILDING FROM THE NORTHWEST REPLACING THE THICKER CLOUDS NEAR THE
DEPARTING FRONT.

THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BUILD ACROSS CENTRAL
INDIANA TONIGHT LEADING TO CLEAR SKIES. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND
TIME HEIGHT SECTIONS SHOW CLEAR SKIES. THUS MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES
WILL WORK FINE. GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING APPEARS TO BE SET UP AS
CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED WILL TREND LOWS AT OR
BELOW MAVMOS. ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AREAS WHERE PLENTIFUL RAIN FALL
HAS OCCURRED...PLENTIFUL LINGERING BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE MAY
LEAD TO SOME FOG OVERNIGHT. WILL HAVE THE EVENING CREW MONITOR
CLOSELY FOR POSSIBLE DENSE FOG ADVISORY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 150 PM EDT SAT MAR 14 2015

DRY WEATHER LOOKS TO BE IN PLACE DURING THIS PERIOD AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS SETTLES ACROSS THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY BEFORE DRIFTING TOWARD THE DEEP SOUTH. THIS WILL
EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF ANY GULF MOISTURE FROM REACHING CENTRAL
INDIANA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS THROUGH THE
PERIOD REMAIN DRY WITH UNREACHABLE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES. THUS
WE WILL ONLY LOOK FOR SOME PASSING HIGH CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME
AMID THE NW FLOW ALOFT.

AS FOR TEMPS WILL TREND HIGHS AT OR ABOVE MAVMOS GIVEN THE STRONG
MARCH SUN AND DEVELOPING SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE FLOW THROUGH THE DAY.
WARM AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES ON SUNDAY NIGHT AS RIDGING BUILDS
ALOFT AND 850MB TEMPS RISE TOWARD 7-8C BY 12Z SUNDAY. SW FLOW
LOOKS TO REMAIN IN PLACE OVERNIGHT ALSO AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN
SOME MIXING. THUS WILL TREND LOWS AT OR ABOVE MAVMOS.

STUPENDOUS DAY IN STORE FOR MONDAY WITH LOW HUMIDITY...WARM SW
BREEZES AND PLENTY OF SUN AS WE REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
HIGH PRESSURE. 850MB TEMPS RISE TOWARD 14C ON MONDAY. WITH GOOD
MIXING AND A WARMER START WILL AIM FOR HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S AT
MOST SPOTS.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO SAG SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. WITH GULF MOISTURE EFFECTIVELY
BLOCKED OFF BY THE HIGH TO THE SOUTH...WE CANNOT RELY ON PACIFIC
MOISTURE FOR PRECIP HERE. WILL TREND TOWARD A DRY FORECAST AS
FORECAST SOUNDING FAIL TO SATURATE. HOWEVER SOME LOWER LEVEL
MOISTURE DOES APPEAR AVAILABLE...POINTING TOWARDS CLOUD COVER.
WILL TREND LOWS ON MONDAY NIGHT WARMER THAN MAVMOS AND TREND HIGHS
ON TUESDAY COOLER THAN MEXMOS AS COLDER AIR ARRIVES ASSOCIATED
WITH THE NEWLY ARRIVING HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 239 PM EDT SAT MAR 14 2015

THE LONG TERM WILL START OUT WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH AN
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. AS THIS TROUGH MOVES EAST MORE
ZONAL FLOW IS ESTABLISHED AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES. THERE WILL BE SMALL CHANCES FOR RAIN ON AND
OFF IN THIS ZONAL PATTERN AS WEAK WAVES MOVE THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW
BUT BEST FORCING REMAINS WELL AWAY FROM CENTRAL INDIANA.
TEMPERATURES LATE THURSDAY NIGHT COULD GET COLD ENOUGH ALOFT IN THE
NORTHERN COUNTIES THAT A FEW SNOWFLAKES COULD MIX IN WITH THE RAIN
SHOULD PRECIPITATION OCCUR. BASED ON COLLABORATION REGARDING RECENT
VERIFICATION INCREASED MAX TEMPERATURES A COUPLE DEGREES FROM THE
INITIALIZATION...OTHERWISE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 15/00Z TAFS/...
ISSUED AT 712 PM EDT SAT MAR 14 2015

VFR THROUGH THE FIRST 8-9 HOURS OF THE PERIOD...BEFORE SOME
POTENTIAL MVFR FOG LATE TONIGHT AT IND/HUF/LAF...AND PERHAPS A DIP

TO 48 HOURS...CLEARING SKIES...AND WINDS LESS THAN 5KT LATE...EXPECT
THAT AT LEAST SOME PATCHY FOG WILL OCCUR. LINGERING MOISTURE IS
HIGHEST AT BMG...WHICH IS A VERY FOG PRONE SITE AS IT IS...THUS WILL
GO DOWN TO IFR THERE AND INCLUDE A BCFG MENTION. ANY FOG WILL BURN
OFF IN TYPICAL DIURNAL FASHION BY MID MORNING.
