AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
653 AM EDT THU APR 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 0434 AM EDT THU APR 9 2015

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS MORNING AND AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF THESE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE LOW TO
MID 70S WITH LOWS TONIGHT IN THE MID 40S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 429 AM EDT THU APR 9 2015

UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
STORMS EXPECTED AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER THURSDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. ROUND OF STORMS WITH SOME ISOLATED SEVERE HAIL
MOVED THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE ELEVATED
INSTABILITY PUSH. A REMNANT MCV LOCATED SW OF SAINT LOUIS AT 07Z
THIS MORNING WILL BRING THE NEXT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND TSTORMS TO OUR
AREA. SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED AHEAD
OF THIS MCV ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND EXPECT THESE STORMS TO
INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS THE LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN
AND IMPINGE ON THE STATIONARY FRONT CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR CWA. CAN'T RULE OUT A FEW ELEVATED HAILERS
WITH THIS WAVE BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z GIVEN ~1000 J/KG OF MUCAPE AND
STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES.

MORNING STORMS WILL CLEAR BY MID DAY AND FOCUS WILL THEN BE ON THE
DEGREE OF CLEARING DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. NAM SOUNDINGS FOR
THIS AFTERNOON INDICATE COOLING CENTERED AROUND 700MB WHICH WILL
ERODE WHAT LITTLE CAP EXISTS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH LITTLE
SURFACE WARMING NECESSARY. THIS WILL LIKELY BE A DETERRENT FOR
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER BY KEEPING LOW LEVEL CLOUDS IN PLACE AND
SPAWNING SURFACE BASED CONVECTION BEFORE MORE SUBSTANTIAL
INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP. WITH THAT BEING SAID...GIVEN THE STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS COULD DEVELOP EVEN WITH
LOWER INSTABILITY. IF MODERATE CAPE VALUES MATERIALIZE DURING PEAK
HEATING...ANY STORMS WHICH DEVELOP WOULD LIKELY BE SUPERCELLULAR IN
NATURE WITH MODERATE DEEP LAYER SHEAR. LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR
WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED DUE TO VEERING SURFACE WINDS DURING
AFTERNOON MIXING...BUT WITH A LOW LEVEL JET OF 45 TO 50 KNOTS...EVEN
20 DEGREES OF LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR A
TORNADO THREAT IF THIS MORE UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT EXISTS. FAVORED
SOLUTION IS STILL THE LOWER INSTABILITY MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT...BUT
FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE EVENT. NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE SEVERE THREAT ALONG THE COLD
FRONT WITH UNFAVORABLE TIMING AFTER 03Z ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA.
HIRES GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THIS PESSIMISM WITH A DECREASE IN STORM
INTENSITY AFTER 00Z ON BOTH THE HIRES NAM AND WRFNMM.

&&

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 429 AM EDT THU APR 9 2015

HAVE MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO LONG TERM PERIOD WITH LATEST GUIDANCE
TRENDS LARGELY SUPPORTIVE OF PREVIOUS FORECAST.

TROWAL FEATURE WILL BE WRAPPING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES
FRIDAY MORNING WITH BETTER CHANCE OF LINGERING POST-FRONTAL RAIN
SHOWERS LIKELY REMAINING NORTH OF THE AREA WITH MID LEVEL DRY SLOT
FIRMLY IN PLACE ACROSS LOCAL AREA. SOME LINGERING LOW CLOUDS TRAPPED
BENEATH FRONTAL/SUBSIDENCE INVERSION MAY LINGER INTO THE MID MORNING
HOURS BEFORE MIXING OUT. STRONG SYNOPTIC SUBSIDENCE/STEEP LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS ON
FRIDAY AS SFC CYCLONE REACHES MAX INTENSITY ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES. THIS MIXING ALONG WITH GOOD INSOLATION BY AFTERNOON
SHOULD AID IN TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S
FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS. GUIDANCE REMAINS FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN PHASING A
STRONGER SOUTH CENTRAL CANADIAN VORT MAX INTO LARGER SCALE UPPER
TROUGH FOR FRIDAY EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...WITH AN
ACCOMPANYING AXIS OF SLIGHTLY BETTER LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE
ADVECTING ACROSS ESPECIALLY NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
SOME INCREASE IN INVERSION HEIGHTS WITH THE APPROACH OF THIS WAVE
AND LINGERING STEEPISH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES MAY BE ENOUGH TO
SQUEEZE OUT A FEW SPRINKLES OR SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS
THE FAR NORTH FRIDAY EVENING...BUT WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY AT THIS
TIME WITH OVERALL MOISTURE PROFILES REMAINING MEAGER.

MOST OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND STILL LOOKING TO BE DRY AS MID/UPPER
RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS ACROSS THE REGION WITH INCREASING CLOUDS TOWARD
THE LATTER PARTS OF THE WEEKEND AS THIS RIDGE DEPARTS. IF ANY TRENDS
CAN BE PULLED OUT FROM MOST RECENT 00Z GUIDANCE...A SLIGHT
PREFERENCE TO A STRONGER CLIPPER-TYPE SYSTEM FOR MON-TUE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES MAY TEND TO SLIGHTLY SLOW LARGER NORTHEAST
CONUS/SOUTHEAST CANADIAN NEGATIVE UPPER HEIGHT ANOMALY EARLY NEXT
WEEK. WITH STILL SOME LOWER CONFIDENCE ON HOW THIS PHASING WILL
UNFOLD AT THIS FORECAST DISTANCE...HAVE GENTLY STEERED FORECAST TO A
DRIER IDEA FOR MONDAY NIGHT WITH EXPECTATION THAT PRIMARY LOW LEVEL
BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN A BIT MORE SUPPRESSED THAN EARLIER INDICATIONS.
IT STILL APPEARS AS THOUGH SOUTHERN STREAM PV ANOMALY WILL INCREASE
PRECIP CHANCES SOMETIME IN THE TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY PERIOD...WITH
OVERALL PATTERN LIKELY REMAINING ACTIVE WITH SHOWER/STORM CHANCES
TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD AS MORE AMPLIFIED LONGWAVE TROUGH TAKES
SHAPE ACROSS WESTERN CONUS. THIS AMPLIFICATION TREND SHOULD ALSO
SUPPORT ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH MUCH OF THE MID TO LATTER
PORTIONS OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 639 AM EDT THU APR 9 2015

SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE AGAIN EARLY THIS
MORNING AS A SERIES OF SMALLER SCALE CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED
DISTURBANCES LIFT INTO THE AREA FROM THE MID MS RIVER VALLEY.
LIFR CONDITIONS PERSIST ACROSS TERMINALS EARLY THIS MORNING JUST
TO THE NORTH OF STALLED SFC BOUNDARY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE
MAKING NORTHWARD PROGRESS TODAY RESULTING IN IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR
CONDITIONS AS WINDS BECOMING SOUTHERLY AND INCREASE IN SPEED.
GIVEN INCREASING LARGE SCALE UPPER SUPPORT LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING WITH APPROACHING UPPER WAVE...DIFFICULT TO LATCH
ONTO ANY EXTENDED DRY PERIODS WITH CONFIDENCE...ALTHOUGH SOME LULL
IN SHOWERS/STORMS MAY DEVELOP ESPECIALLY AT KFWA THIS AFTERNOON.
MORE VIGOROUS CONVECTION IS EXPECTED LATE AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...WITH CHANCES OF STORMS ENDING TOWARD OR SHORTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT. STRONG PRESSURE RISE/FALL COUPLET WITH THE FRONT WILL
SUPPORT WIND GUSTS TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS LATE EVENING INTO EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. SOME POST-FRONTAL MVFR STRATOCU MAY ALSO PERSIST
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE IMPROVING TO VFR.
