AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
232 AM EDT SAT APR 9 2016

.UPDATE...
THE LONG TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 348 PM EDT FRI APR 8 2016

RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY END TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE
MOVES AWAY TO THE EAST. CHILLY TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST THROUGH
SATURDAY WITH NORTHWEST FLOW. A WARM FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH CENTRAL
INDIANA EARLY SUNDAY WITH WINDS FLIPPING TO SOUTHERLY AND BRINGING
MILDER AIR INTO THE REGION FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND. RAIN
WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY A COLD FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY. SLIGHTLY COOLER WEATHER WILL RETURN BEHIND THE FRONT
WITH A WARMING TREND TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE SECOND HALF
OF NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY PROVIDES AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
DRY WEATHER FOR THE OHIO VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 815 PM EDT FRI APR 8 2016

PRECIPITATION WITH VORT MAX IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT...SO UPPED POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HALF
OF THE AREA THIS EVENING. OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT RAIN IS STILL
THE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION TYPE...BUT SNOW WILL MIX IN AT TIMES AS
WELL.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING OVER NORTHEAST INDIANA THIS
AFTERNOON WITH A FRONT TRAILING SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH GRAUPEL AND SNOWFLAKES HAVE BEEN REPORTED AND
HAVE SEEN A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES AS WELL. ANOTHER MISERABLE APRIL
DAY IN PROGRESS WITH 19Z TEMPS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S
WITH BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS.

PLENTY TO FOCUS ON FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...WITH
LINGERING THREATS FOR PRECIPITATION INTO THE NIGHT FOLLOWED BY AN
EXPECTED WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZE FOR THE REGION.

SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS REPORTS OF GRAUPEL
WITH SOME OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND LIKEWISE EXPECT THAT TO
CONTINUE AS WELL. ANY THREAT FOR THUNDER SHOULD BE EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA BY 22-23Z AS THE MAIN FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW
MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. LIKELY TO SEE A VERY BRIEF LULL IN PRECIP
COVERAGE EARLY THIS EVENING BEFORE PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH A SHARP
UPPER VORT MAX DIVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER
00Z. THIS AREA OF PRECIP IS LOCATED CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN IOWA AND
NORTHWEST ILLINOIS...WITH RAIN...SNOW AND MIXED PRECIP ALL BEING
REPORTED. HRRR AND WRF PIVOT THIS AREA OF PRECIP ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA DURING THE EVENING AND AS 850MB TEMPS CRASH...EXPECT A
RAIN/SNOW MIX GRADUALLY TRANSITIONING TO ALL SNOW TOWARDS MIDNIGHT.
WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS FOR SCATTERED PRECIP.

MOST OF THE PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH THE VORT MAX WILL BE OFF TO THE
SOUTHEAST SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. ADDITIONAL SNOW SHOWERS WILL PIVOT
SOUTH AND EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES WITH A TRAILING SECONDARY
SURFACE TROUGH DIVING THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA INTO OHIO IN THE
PREDAWN HOURS. THIS WILL MAINTAIN MORE CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS/
FLURRIES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL NEAR
DAYBREAK SATURDAY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ELSEWHERE. LITTLE IF ANY
ACCUM FROM SNOW IS EXPECTED. IT WILL REMAIN BREEZY THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT...WITH STRONGEST GUSTS AROUND 30MPH EXPECTED THROUGH THE
EVENING AND WINDS SLOWLY DECREASING THEREAFTER AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES.

TEMPS...OTHER BIG ISSUE FOR TONIGHT IS THE EXPECTATION FOR A
WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZE AS TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE
MID AND UPPER 20S. AN OVERALL MODEL BLEND WORKED WELL FOR OVERNIGHT
LOWS. THE FREEZE WARNING CONTINUES AND WILL RUN FROM 06Z THROUGH 13Z
SATURDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 348 PM EDT FRI APR 8 2016

FORECAST CHALLENGES FOCUS ON TEMPS THROUGHOUT AND PRECIP CHANCES
SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH FINALLY LOOSENS ITS GRIP
OVER THE OHIO VALLEY.

STRENGTHENING UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL BE IN THE
PROCESS OF MOVING AWAY FROM THE AREA AND INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
SATURDAY MORNING. THE DEPARTURE OF THESE FEATURES OFF THE EAST COAST
BY LATE SATURDAY WILL FINALLY ENABLE THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH WHICH HAS
DOMINATED THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS TO FINALLY SHIFT
EAST AND ENABLE RIDGING ALOFT TO EXPAND INTO THE MIDWEST FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND.

CHILLY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ON SATURDAY AS CENTRAL INDIANA
REMAINS UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW AS THE UPPER LOW PULLS AWAY. PLENTY OF
COLD AIR REMAINS AT 850MB AND SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE DEVELOPING A CU
FIELD FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. UNLIKE THE LAST FEW DAYS AND
DESPITE THE CU...DO ANTICIPATE THE SUN WILL MAKE MORE OF ITS
PRESENCE KNOWN SATURDAY AND WILL ROLL WITH A PARTLY CLOUDY FORECAST
FOR MOST OF THE AREA. TEMPS ARE LIKELY TO FALL QUICKLY SATURDAY
EVENING WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA. THE HIGH WILL MOVE OFF TO
THE EAST OVERNIGHT SATURDAY AS RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS AND CLOUDS
INCREASE WITH A WARM FRONT APPROACHING.

RAW MODEL TEMPS SUGGEST SURFACE TEMPS ARE LIKELY TO FALL INTO THE
UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S BY LATE EVENING OVER MUCH OF THE AREA BEFORE
WARM ADVECTION COMMENCES AND TEMPS BEGIN TO RISE OVERNIGHT AND
THROUGH DAYBREAK SUNDAY. FOR THIS REASON...WILL BE INTRODUCING A
FREEZE WATCH EAST OF A LAFAYETTE-BEDFORD LINE AND STARTING IT BY
LATE EVENING SATURDAY. RUN THE FREEZE WATCH THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY BUT
IT IS LIKELY THAT THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT WILL BE ABLE TO DROP HEADLINES
QUICKER FROM THE WEST AS TEMPS WARM IN THE PREDAWN HOURS SUNDAY.

WEAK LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WARM FRONT PREDAWN SUNDAY WILL CLIP
AREAS NORTH OF I-70 AND MAY ENABLE A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT PRECIP.
MODEL SOUNDINGS SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIX BEFORE
LOWER LEVELS WARM SUFFICIENTLY. AFTER A PRIMARILY DRY MORNING SUNDAY
AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH...DEEPER MOISTURE WILL ADVECT INTO THE
REGION AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKING OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
EXPECT RAIN SHOWERS TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND
CONTINUE INTO MONDAY AS THE LOW TRACKS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND
ENABLES A COLD FRONT TO SAG THROUGH CENTRAL INDIANA. ELEVATED
INSTABILITY PRESENT SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AND WILL CONTINUE WITH
A MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDER WITH THE RAIN. HEAVIEST AND MOST
WIDESPREAD RAIN EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY DROPS SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA. HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS
SLOWER NAM AND ECMWF WITH RESPECT TO RAIN ON MONDAY AS OP GFS LOOKS
TOO QUICK IN PUSHING THE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE AREA AND ENDING PRECIP.

TEMPS...AFTER A CHILLY SATURDAY...HIGHS WILL RECOVER INTO THE 50S
SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH EVEN LOWER 60S POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN
COUNTIES. GENERALLY TOOK A MODEL BLEND FOR HIGHS AND LOWS THROUGH
THE PERIOD. ONLY EXCEPTION WAS SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE WARMER METMOS WAS
PREFERRED CONSIDERING THE OP GFS IS TOO QUICK IN BRINGING COOLER AIR
INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

ISSUED AT 228 AM EDT SAT APR 9 2016

DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED DURING THIS PERIOD AS THE ECMWF SUGGESTS A
TRANSISTION ON IN THE UPPER FLOW. THE PERSISTENT NW FLOW WILL BE
IN PLACE ALOFT ON TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS INDIANA
IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT. AS THE WEEK GOES ON...ECMWF
SUGGESTS STRONG RIDGING BUILDING ACROSS THE WESTERN PLAINS BEFORE
PUSHING EAST ACROSS INDIANA AND THE GREAT LAKES. MEANWHILE...HIGH
PRESSURE LOOKS TO REMAIN IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE. THUS WILL TREND
TOWARD WARMER TEMPS IN THE LATER PART OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD AS
THE NW FLOW WILL BE CUT OFF. FURTHERMORE A DRY FORECAST LOOKS
QUITE REASONABLE GIVEN THE LACK OF ANY DYNAMICS AND LITTLE
MOISTURE AVAILABLE.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 09/0600Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

A FEW SNOW SHOWERS ON THE BACK SIDE OF AN UPPER LOW WILL PERSIST
THROUGH SAT 09Z...BUT THEY WILL NOT POSE ANY IMPACTS TO FLIGHT
OPERATIONS.  THE VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR ENTIRE TAF PERIOD
AS RIDGING STRENGTHENS OVER THE REGION.

WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY OUT OF THE WEST/NORTHWEST THROUGH DAYBREAK
WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 12 TO 14 KTS...BUT GUSTS SHOULD TAPER OFF
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. EXPECT WINDS TO BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY LATE
IN TAF PERIOD AT 4 TO 8 KTS.
