AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
308 PM EDT SUN APR 3 2016

.UPDATE...
THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM AND SHORT TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 306 PM EDT SUN APR 3 2016

A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA OVERNIGHT.
THIS WILL BRING A SMALL SHOWER CHANCES TO THE AREA TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE THIS EVENING
NEAR AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL FILTER IN
BEHIND THE FRONT. THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY ALONG AND AHEAD OF ANOTHER FRONTAL
SYSTEM. UPPER WAVES IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL AND GENERATE MORE SHOWERS THROUGH THE WEEK. SOME SNOW
COULD MIX IN THURSDAY NIGHT. FINALLY...THE UPPER FLOW WILL TREND TO
SOUTHWEST NEXT WEEKEND WITH RETURN LOW LEVEL FLOW DEVELOPING. THIS
SHOULD RESULT IN TEMPERATURES BECOMING MORE SEASONABLE WITH MORE
SHOWER CHANCES BY NEXT SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT AND MONDAY/...

ISSUED AT 306 PM EDT SUN APR 3 2016

LATEST TRENDS SUGGEST WINDS WILL NOT QUITE MEET THE ADVISORY
CRITERIA...SO WILL CANCEL THE WIND ADVISORY OVER OUR NORTHWESTERN
COUNTIES. OTHERWISE...MAIN FOCUS TONIGHT WILL BE ON APPROACHING COLD
FRONT...TRAILING UPPER TROUGH AND THEIR IMPACTS ON THE WEATHER.
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. MODEL TIME SECTIONS
SUGGEST MOISTURE WILL BE SHALLOW STARTING OFF MOIST IN THE MID
LEVELS AND DRY IN THE LOWER LEVELS BUT THEN DRY OVERNIGHT IN THE MID
LEVELS AND INCREASING MOISTURE IN THE LOWER LEVELS. WITH THIS IN
MIND...PREFER TO KEEP POPS IN THE SMALL CHANCE CATEGORY. RAPID
REFRESH SUGGESTS SHOWERS WILL REACH OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES AROUND
03Z AND SPREAD FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT BEFORE ENDING
SOUTHEAST MONDAY AFTERNOON AS UPPER WAVE IN FAST NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT SHIFTS EAST. PREFER THE 00Z ECMWF AND 12Z NAM THAT ARE CLOSER
TO THE ECENS.

MODEL INSTABILITY PROGS ARE SHOWING VERY WEAK INSTABILITY AT BEST
THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...WITH SPC OUTLOOKING OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES
FOR GENERAL THUNDER IN THE DAY1...WILL HOLD ON TO ISOLATED EVENING
THUNDER NEAR AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70.

WITH LOW CLOUDS INCREASING...PREFER TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF DEGREES
ABOVE 12Z MOS WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S NORTH AND UPPER 40S SOUTH.

SHOULD SEE SOME CLEARING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST MONDAY LATE
AFTERNOON IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW. WITH SUN ANGLE INCREASING...SHOULD
BE ENOUGH SUN FOR TEMPERATURES TO REACH 12Z MOS DESPITE BREEZY
NORTHWEST SURFACE WINDS. IF THE CLOUDS HANG AROUND A LITTLE
LONGER...MAY NEED TO ADJUST TEMPERATURES LOWER...HOWEVER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 306 PM EDT SUN APR 3 2016

MAIN FOCUS WILL BE ON THE COLD MONDAY NIGHT AND THEN TIMING OF
CONVECTION TOWARD MIDWEEK.

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT SURFACE HIGH WILL START OFF CENTERED
OVER LAKE SUPERIOR AT 00Z TUESDAY AND THEN SHIFT TO NORTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN 12Z TUESDAY. WITH MODEL TIME SECTIONS SHOWING VERY DRY AIR
ALOFT AND LOW LEVEL DRYING...SHOULD SEE CLEAR SKIES MONDAY NIGHT.
ALSO...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR GOOD
IF NOT IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING AND JUSTIFY SUB-FREEZING 12Z MOS
TEMPERATURES. WITH THAT IN MIND AND AFTER COORDINATION WITH ADJACENT
OFFICES...WILL BE GOING WITH A FREEZE WATCH 3 AM TO 9 AM TUESDAY
EXCEPT OUR FAR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES...WHERE THE FROST AND FREEZE
PROGRAM HAS YET TO START.

TUESDAY WILL SEE JUST SOME INCREASING CIRRUS AS UPPER RIDGE
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST AHEAD OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST SYSTEM.
SOUTHEAST WINDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SURFACE HIGH SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND NICELY FROM THE MORNING COLD WITH AFTERNOON
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S NORTHEAST TO THE MID 50S SOUTH.

TUESDAY NIGHT...THINGS WILL BE GETTING UNSETTLED AGAIN AS THIS NEXT
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY 12Z WEDNESDAY. 12Z
GFS AND 00Z ECMWF IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON DRAGGING AN ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT INTO EAST CENTRAL INDIANA BY 00Z THURSDAY. MODEL INSTABILITY
PROGS HINTING AT WEAK INSTABILITY ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SO...WILL
GO WITH CHANCES OF SHOWERS TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE HIGHEST PROBS
OVER OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES...CLOSER TO THE FRONT. WITH THE FRONT
MOVING THROUGH AND THE COLUMN BECOMING SATURATED...LIKELY POPS LOOK
GOOD ALL COUNTIES ON WEDNESDAY WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS.

WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM
BACK TO NEAR NORMAL WITH LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 30S AND
MID 40S AND HIGHS WEDNESDAY IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

ISSUED AT 225 PM EDT SUN APR 3 2016

ECMWF CONTINUES TO DEPICT THE CURRENT PATTERN CONTINUING INTO NEXT
WEEKEND. PERSISTENT NW FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. A
DEPARTING UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE PRECIP CHANCES
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS AMPLE FORCING APPEARS IN PLACE. AS THE
ASSOCIATED SURFACE SYSTEM REACHES THE EAST COAST ON LATE
THURSDAY...MODELS DEPICT THE SYSTEM DEEPENING AND STRENGTHENING
AS BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN 1/3 OF
THE UNITED STATES. THIS WILL KEEP SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION CHANCES
IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
AND CYCLONIC FLOW.

STRONGER RIDGING AND HIGH PRESSURE IS THEN EXPECTED TO BUILD
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA FOR NEXT WEEKEND...PROVIDING A RETURN TO
DRY WEATHER AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 031800Z TAFS/...

ISSUED AT 1239 PM EDT SUN APR 3 2016

WINDY BUT VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ARE EXPECTED
TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR OVERNIGHT...BEFORE RETURNING TO VFR ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON.

A QUICK MOVING SHORT WAVE WILL APPROACH CENTRAL INDIANA LATE
TONIGHT. STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA WILL
RESULT IN GUSTING WINDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EVENING. AS THE LOW PASSES NEAR 12Z MONDAY... TIME HEIGHTS AND
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW DECENT SATURATION...ALONG WITH SOME LIFT.
THUS WILL EXPECTED SOME MVFR CIGS IN THE AREA AS THE SYSTEM
PASSES. LACK OF MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM PREVENTS ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE FOR A PREVAILING MENTION OF RAIN SHOWERS...THUS WILL
USE VCSH FOR NOW.
