NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 13, 10:18 PM EDT, 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 10:18 PM EDT, 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1018 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 400 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 ONE OR MORE ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE WITH HEAVY RAIN AND DAMAGING WINDS...WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT WITH A CHANCE FOR MORE THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN ON TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY EVENING. A BRIEF BREAK FROM THE RECENT WET WEATHER IS EXPECTED MID WEEK BEFORE STORM CHANCES RETURN TO THE FORECAST THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 945 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 2ND ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS FINALLY HAS FINALLY GOT GOING AS IT HAS PUSHED INTO OUR AREA. LAPS SHOWS CAPES IN EXCESS OF 5,500 J/KG OVER WESTERN SECTIONS WHILE FAR EASTERN SECTIONS WERE 1,000 J/KG OR LESS. EXPECT NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS WARM ADVECTION OCCURS AND WEAK SURFACE TROUGH MOVES EAST ACROSS OUR AREA. WILL CONTINUE LIKELY POPS MOST AREAS THROUGH 06Z TO 07Z. HER MODELS INDICATE WEATHER SHOULD QUIET DOWN AFTER THAT. A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 07Z AND MOST OF THE HEAVY RAIN SHOULD OCCUR TO ABOUT 07Z AS WELL. TEMPERATURES ARE ON TRACK AND ONLY MINOR CHANGES MADE TO GRIDS. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... ISSUED AT 400 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 WITH THE MAIN COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM TOMORROW...STORMS WILL AGAIN BE A THREAT AND AREA HAS BEEN OUTLOOKED DAY 2. WHILE THIS THREAT WILL BE QUITE A BIT MORE CONDITIONAL...AT LEAST SCATTERED STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP AND A FEW COULD BECOME SEVERE IN A CONDITIONALLY SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT...HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON HOW OVERNIGHT AND MORNING CONVECTION EVOLVES. BEYOND TUESDAY EVENING A WELCOME IF ALL TOO BRIEF DRY SPELL CAN BE EXPECTED WITH SOMEWHAT COOLER AND MORE COMFORTABLE AIR IN PLACE. CONSENSUS NUMBERS APPEARED A BIT TOO COOL AND WERE BUMPED UP A BIT. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... ISSUED AT 251 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 A MORE ZONAL FLOW AND THE RIDGE ATTEMPTING TO EXPAND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY SHOULD TREND TOWARDS LOWER CONVECTIVE CHANCES FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. FLATTENED RIDGE SHOULD SHIFT BACK WEST INTO THE HIGH PLAINS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...PROMPTING A RESUMPTION OF THE MORE ACTIVE PATTERN EXPERIENCED OF LATE AS THE REGION RETURNS TO A FAMILIAR SPOT...IN NORTHWEST FLOW ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. THIS SHOULD ONCE AGAIN PLACE CENTRAL INDIANA IN A MORE FAVORED AREA FOR IMPACTS FROM CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY AND MONDAY. CONTINUED TREND OF UNDERCUTTING HIGH TEMPS OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES FROM CONVECTIVE TIMING AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD DEBRIS. WILL MAINTAIN UPPER 80S FOR MOST AREAS...BUT COULD SEE HIGHS INTO THE LOWER 90S OVER FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 140300Z KIND TAF UPDATE/... ISSUED AT 1018 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 SEVERAL CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE AREA...IMPACTING THE KIND TERMINAL AT THIS TIME. WESTERLY 850MB FLOW OF 25-30 KTS SHOULD HELP TO MAINTAIN THESE CLUSTERS FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. APPEARS CONVECTIVE THREAT WILL REMAIN HIGH AT THE KIND TERMINAL THROUGH ABOUT 140600Z. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS. CONVECTION BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS AT THIS TIME. THIS ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO MOVE/DEVELOP SOUTHEAST DURING THE COURSE OF THE EVENING...AIDED BY 25-30 KT OF WESTERLY FLOW AT 850MB. THIS ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE TERMINALS THROUGH ABOUT 140600Z. SOME OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE ALSO SUGGESTS THAT CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CURRENTLY DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN WISCONSIN MAY MOVE INTO THE AREA AFTER 140600Z...PROLONGING THE CONVECTIVE THREAT AT THE TERMINALS. WHETHER THIS ACTIVITY IMPACTS THE TERMINALS LATER TONIGHT IS MORE QUESTIONABLE AND WILL DEPEND ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE CONVECTION THIS EVENING. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP THE BEST WINDOW FOR CONVECTION THROUGH 140600Z AND MONITOR TRENDS WITH RESPECT TO THE LATER THREAT. BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS AND GUSTY/SHIFTING WINDS IN AND NEAR CONVECTION. CB BASES AROUND 030. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME CEILINGS AROUND 010 TO DEVELOP DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS OF TUESDAY. OUTSIDE OF CONVECTIVE AREAS...SURFACE WINDS SHOULD VEER AROUND TO 210-240 DEGREES AT 6-10 KTS BY SUNSET. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 945 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 .UPDATE...WILL CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVERNIGHT. EXPECT HEAVIEST RAIN TO OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND AROUND 07Z WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DIMINISHING SOME AFTER THAT. STORMS ARE MOVING RAPIDLY AND THIS MAY LESSEN FLOOD THREAT A LITTLE...BUT NOT NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO HEADLINES AS AIRMASS IS VERY MOIST AND IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH RAIN TO CAUSE FLOODING. PREVIOUS HYDROLOGY DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... HYDROLOGIC SITUATION WAS AGAIN WORSENED SLIGHTLY BY A WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF AROUND AN INCH GIVE OR TAKE AS THE LINE MOVED THROUGH THE AREA THIS MORNING. MANY AREAS RAPIDLY DEVELOPED MINOR FLOODING. A MORE SUSTAINED AND HEAVIER RAINFALL...WHICH REMAINS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...COULD SIGNIFICANTLY AND RAPIDLY EXACERBATE THE SITUATION OWING TO 2 TO AS MUCH AS NEARLY 10 INCHES OF RAIN THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST SIX DAYS. OWING TO SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW QUICKLY STORMS MAY EXIT THE AREA TUESDAY MORNING...HAVE EXTENDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 12Z. MID SHIFT MAY ELECT FURTHER EXTENSION IF IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL FROM POTENTIAL STORMS TOMORROW MAY ALSO CAUSE PROBLEMS. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
