Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 7:19 PM EDT, 4 hours 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
719 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 141 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 80S TO MIDDLE 90S THIS AFTERNOON.
HEAT INDEX VALUES FROM 100 TO 110 ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH TONIGHT AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY. IT WILL REMAIN WARM AND MUGGY
TONIGHT WITH LOWS ONLY DROPPING INTO THE 70S OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 412 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015

MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON MCS IS CURRENTLY PUSHING OUT OF LOCAL
FORECAST AREA TO THE EAST. THIS HAS PRODUCED A NOTICABLE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM MICHIGAN CITY SE TO PORTLAND.
HAVE REMOVED MANY OF THE COUNTIES NORTH OF THIS OUTFLOW FROM THE
HEAT ADVISORY...ESPECIALLY EAST OF A WARSAW TO THREE RIVERS LINE.
WHILE TEMPERATURES MAY RECOVER INTO THE MID 80S...HEAT INDICES
SHOULD REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA. ELSEWHERE...TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER
AROUND 90 WITH HEAT INDICES AROUND 100...SO THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.

CURRENTLY MONITORING UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE TRENDS ACROSS NRN IL. HI
RES GUIDANCE HAS BEEN LITTLE HELP TODAY REGARDING CONVECTIVE
TRENDS...HOWEVER LATEST RADAR DATA SHOWS ORGANIZATION ACROSS FAR NW
IL/SRN WI. HRRR SUGGEST CONTINUED WARM SECTOR STORM DEVELOPMENT
FURTHER SOUTH FROM EAST CENTRAL IL INTO WESTERN IN. THESE STORMS MAY
POSE AN ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND
HEAVY RAINFALL THE MAIN THREAT. FURTHER INTEREST LIES WITH THE
ORGANIZATION ACROSS NRN IL. ANTICIPATE THAT THIS FEATURE MAY
PROPAGATE E/SE TOWARDS THE AREA BETWEEN 22Z AND 01Z...RIDING ALONG
THE APPRECIABLE INSTABILITY GRADIENT DEMARCATED BY THE
AFOREMENTIONED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. SBCAPE VALUES BUILDING TO 4000
TO 6000 J/KG SOUTH OF THIS OUTFLOW W/ MID LVL LAPSE RATES NEAR 6.5
C/KM. EFFECTIVE SHEAR VALUES ARE MARGINAL...FROM 20-30 KTS ACROSS
THE AREA...HOWEVER IF THIS LINE CAN ORGANIZE...WHICH IT APPEARS TO
BE DOING AS I WRITE THIS...SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN INTO
THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE AREA AROUND 00Z AS A SQUALL LINE/BOW
ECHO. THIS WOULD PRODUCE A BETTER THREAT FOR DAMAGING
WINDS...POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT...ROUGHLY ALONG THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM MICHIGAN CITY TO JUST SOUTH OF FORT WAYNE. OF
COURSE...WITH THIS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SITUATED ACROSS THE AREA...ANY
STORMS THAT PROPAGATE ALONG IT WILL MAINTAIN A HIGHER TORNADO RISK
W/ ENHANCED LOW LVL SHEAR. HAVE REFLECTED THIS IN THE GRIDS WITH A
DAMAGING WIND MENTION...FROM NW TO SE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
FROM 22Z TO 03Z. WILL BE MONITORING THIS CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS.

FORECAST PICTURE BECOMES SOMEWHAT MUDDLED AFTER 06Z...AND WILL HINGE
ON CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. LARGER SCALE FRONT
WILL PUSH SE INTO THE AREA BY TOMORROW MORNING. HAVE BACKED OFF POPS
A BIT...ESPECIALLY NW...LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. HIGHEST POPS
ARE CURRENTLY SUNDAY AFTN AS THE FRONT IS LAYED OUT FROM SW TO NE
ACROSS THE FCST AREA. HIGH TEMPS SUNDAY WERE CUT JUST A BIT AS
WELL...MAINLY ACROSS THE NW PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. THERE MAY
BE A FEW LOCATIONS THAT HAVE HEAT INDICES APPROACH 100
TOMORROW...MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF FORT WAYNE. HOWEVER...WITH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE PRECIP EVOLUTION AND TEMPS...WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY
HEAT HEADLINES RIGHT NOW FOR SUNDAY.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)

CDFNT EXPECTED TO BE MOVG THROUGH SERN PORTION OF CWA SUNDAY

VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT/TUE BRINGING A CHC OF SHOWERS TO THE AREA.

WX WITH A SLOW WARMING TREND. RETURN FLOW BEHIND THE SFC HIGH
COMBINING WITH A WK SHRTWV TOPPING UPR RIDGE MAY BRING TSTMS BACK
