AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
705 PM EDT WED APR 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1003 AM EDT WED APR 8 2015

SEVERAL PERIODS OF RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS. A STATIONARY FRONT OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS OF INDIANA AND
OHIO IS EXPECTED TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTH INTO MICHIGAN TONIGHT.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE FRONT TODAY WITH
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY BECOMING NUMEROUS TONIGHT. A COLD
FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON THURSDAY LIKELY CAUSING ANOTHER
ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGHS TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM
THE MID 50S NORTH OF THE FRONT IN SOUTHERN MICHIGAN TO THE LOW 70S
SOUTH OF THE FRONT SOUTH OF US 30. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE
50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 400 PM EDT WED APR 8 2015

BRIEF LULL IN PRECIP AND INCREASED LOW LEVEL MIXING IS CURRENTLY IN
PLACE ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA THANKS TO MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE
RIDGING/AVA IN THE WAKE OF THIS MORNING'S CONVECTION. MCS THAT MOVED
THROUGH CENTRAL INDIANA EARLIER TODAY SEEMS TO HAVE LEFT MOST OF OUR
AREA FAIRLY STABLE/CAPPED PER LATEST SPC/RAP MESOANALYSIS. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW A DECENT INVERSION AROUND 800MB...EVEN IN AREAS THAT
HAVE MANAGED TO MIX OUT. NAM12 TRIES TO WEAKEN THIS CAPPING
INVERSION IN OUR AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON BUT RAP AND GFS KEEP IT
IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF THE EVENING...AT LEAST OUTSIDE OF THE FAR
SOUTH. BASED ON THE LATEST RADAR...SATELLITE...AND SURFACE
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS...PREFER TO LEAN TOWARD THE RAP IDEA OF
KEEPING OUR CWA MAINLY CAPPED WITH CONVECTION TIED TO BETTER
INSTABILITY JUST TO OUR SOUTH. SYNOPTIC FORCING IS PRETTY MUDDLED
AT THIS POINT BUT THERE ARE SOME HINTS OF MODEST 300K ISENTROPIC
ASCENT JUST TO OUR SOUTH AS WELL. SPC HAS ISSUED A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH UP TO OUR SOUTHWEST BORDER AND THIS SEEMS
REASONABLE. CURRENTLY WATCHING A CLUSTER OF STORMS OVER EASTERN
ILLINOIS THAT COULD SCRAPE OUR FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. IF THIS
ACTIVITY DOES CLIP OUR AREA...IT COULD VERY WELL PRODUCE SEVERE
WEATHER GIVEN DEEP LAYER SHEAR OVER 40 KTS AND MLCAPE VALUES OVER
2000 J/KG DUE TO MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 8 C/KM.

BETTER CHANCES FOR MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
LATE OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER WEAK/EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE WILL EJECT NORTHEAST
ALONG WITH NOCTURNAL STRENGTHENING OF THE LOW LEVEL JET. ANOTHER
ROUND OF INCREASED MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT
IN A REGION OF MODERATE ELEVATED INSTABILITY MAY SUPPORT EXPANDING
CONVECTION LATE TONIGHT. EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION IS DIFFICULT TO
PINPOINT AT THIS STAGE WITH A VARIETY OF SOLUTIONS BEING OFFERED BY
LATEST HI-RES GUIDANCE. AM A LITTLE UNEASY WITH INHERITED
CATEGORICAL POPS GIVEN DRY SOLUTIONS BEING OFFERED BY SOME HI-RES
GUIDANCE SUCH AS THE 4KM SPC WRF-NMM. LOWERED POPS EARLIER IN THE
PERIOD BUT DID KEEP SOME CATEGORICAL POPS IN THE 09-12Z PERIOD OUT
OF RESPECT FOR THE INCREASING WARM/MOIST AIR ADVECTION AND MODEL
DEPICTIONS OF WEAK CVA FORCING.

OTHER ASPECT THAT DEMANDS SOME ATTENTION IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAIN/FLOODING WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF CONVECTION THIS WEEK. PW
VALUES DO SURGE TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES LATE TONIGHT (AND INTO
TOMORROW) AND HEAVY RAIN WILL CERTAINLY BE POSSIBLE WHEN/WHERE
CONVECTION DOES OCCUR. HOWEVER...POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING AND
BACKBUILDING CONVECTION IS LOW IN OUR AREA WITH RELATIVELY HIGH MBE
VELOCITIES AND THE FACT THAT STORM MOTION BECOMES A LITTLE MORE
ORTHOGONAL TO THE FRONT BY TOMORROW. OUTSIDE OF OUR FAR SOUTHEAST
COUNTIES...MOST OF THE CWA HAS ALSO NOT RECEIVED A LARGE AMOUNT OF
RAIN RECENTLY. THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING DOES
EXIST BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR ANY TYPE OF WATCH
HEADLINE AT THIS POINT. AGAIN THE HIGHEST THREAT WILL BE IN OUR FAR
SOUTHEAST COUNTIES.

&&

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 PM EDT WED APR 8 2015

PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT.

ALOFT...A DEEP 500MB TROUGH IN THE WESTERN CONUS WILL GRADUALLY
SHIFT EASTWARD INTO THE MIDWEST...TAKING ON A NEGATIVE TILT OVER
IA/IL AS IT ATTEMPTS TO BREAK DOWN THE RIDGE FIRMLY ANCHORED OVER
THE EAST COAST THURSDAY NIGHT. MODELS CLOSE THE LOW THU EVE BEFORE
LIFTING IT INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

AHEAD OF THE DEEPENING TROUGH...SFC LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS EVENING AND TRAVEL NORTHEASTWARD INTO
SOUTHWESTERN IOWA BY 12Z THU. AS THE UPPER TROUGH/LOW APPROACHES
THE LLJ WILL STRENGTHEN...INTENSIFYING THE WARM AIR/MOISTURE
ADVECTION OVER THE CWA OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY.

AS A RESULT...THE CWA WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR FROM LATE TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
MOISTURE IS PLENTIFUL...WITH PWATS INCREASING TO NEAR 1.4 INCHES
EARLY THU AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY IS DECENT...WITH LI VALUES RANGING
FROM -5 TO -2/SFC BASED CAPE AS HIGH AS 1500 J/KG BY LATE AFTERNOON.
0-6KM SHEAR IS SOMEWHAT PALTRY AT FIRST...AROUND 20-30 KNOTS...BUT
PICKS UP TO AROUND 40-50 KNOTS TOWARDS THE LATE AFTERNOON AS THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES. SHOWER/T-STORM ACTIVITY FROM THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...WITH MODELS SUPPORTING SHOWER/T-STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE
STATIONARY/WARM FRONT THAT LIFTS NORTHWARD WITH THE BOUNDARY THROUGH
THE MORNING. SEVERE POTENTIAL EARLIER IN THE DAY WILL BE
LIMITED...WITH MORE MARGINAL INSTABILITY AND WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES. WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE...AND WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS...HEAVY
RAIN IS A THREAT. FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IN AREAS THAT SEE HEAVY
RAINFALL FROM SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

THE STRONGEST STORMS ARE FORECAST TO INTIATE WITH THE COLD FRONT
OVER THE IL AREA BY THU AFTERNOON...WHERE FRONT TIMING IS MORE
FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WX...DURING PEAK DAYTIME HEATING. EXPECT THESE
STORMS TO CROSS INTO OUR WESTERN CWA WITH THE FRONT BY THURSDAY
EVENING AND CONTINUE GENERALLY EASTWARD OVERNIGHT. THINKING THE
00-05Z TIME PERIOD IN THE WEST AND CENTRAL WILL BE THE BEST SHOT FOR
SEVERE WEATHER...WHEN ALL SVR T-STORM INGREDIENTS COME TOGETHER FOR
A BRIEF TIME. PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES GIVEN 0-1
KM SHEAR GREATER THAN 30 KNOTS FROM 00-05Z. THINKING THAT THE
BIGGEST LIMITATION WITH THIS OVERALL SCENARIO IS
INSTABILITY...MODELS TEND TO OVERDO IT IN GENERAL. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE MORNING
CONVECTION...AND THE LATE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT/MAJOR FORCING.
TOOK A LOOK AT THE SHERB PARAMETER WHICH HAS SHOWN SOME SKILL IN
EVALUATING HSLC ENVIRONMENTS FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL...AND VALUES WERE
OVER 1-WHICH SUGGESTS A MORE SIGNIFICANT EVENT IS POSSIBLE.

AFTER 03Z HOWEVER...INSTABILITY REALLY BEGINS TO WANE...AND DRIER
AIR BEHIND THE FRONT QUICKLY INFILTRATES THE AREA. WOULD EXPECT ALL
MEASURABLE PRECIP TO EXIT THE CWA BY 15Z FRI AS HIGH PRESSURE STARTS
TO BUILD INTO THE AREA.

A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN
ONTARIO WILL DIVE SOUTHWARD FROM WI. MODELS SUGGEST PRECIPITATION
CHANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN/SOUTHERN LOWER
MI...BUT THESE WILL BE LIMITED AT BEST. WINDS SHOULD GET GUSTY
FRIDAY THOUGH...WITH A DECENT PRESSURE RISE/FALL COUPLET CROSSING
THE CWA FRIDAY INTO FRI NIGHT.

ALL GOES QUIET AGAIN WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD...UNTIL SUNDAY
NIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH/ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE FROM
NORTHERN ONTARIO/UPPER MI/NORTHERN WI SUNDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO
HUDSON BAY BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING A COLD FRONT AND
ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/T-STORMS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
AROUND THE SAME TIME...ANOTHER LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
AND BEGINS TO LIFT NORTHWARD...WEAKENING AS IT LIFTS TOWARDS THE
OHIO VALLEY TUE AND WED. THIS WILL ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO CONTINUE
THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME
FRAME...MAINLY IN THE 60S AND LOW 70S.
