.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 202 AM EDT TUE APR 12 2016

DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
IS EXPECTED TO BUILD ACROSS INDIANA AND THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE
WEEKEND. AS THE HIGH PROGRESSES TO THE EAST OF INDIANA BY
WEDNESDAY WARMER AIR WILL BEGIN TO ARRIVE...ALLOWING WARMING
TEMPERATURES EACH DAY AS THE WEEK GOES ON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 202 AM EDT TUE APR 12 2016

SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE OVER THE
UPPER MIDWEST...WITH COOL NORTHERLY SURFACE FLOW SPILLING ACROSS
INDIANA. SATELLITE SHOWS CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH
DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 30S.

GFS AND NAM SHOWS TODAY AND TOMORROW BEING THE LAST FEW DAYS OF
NW FLOW ALOFT AS STRONG RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES
BEGINS TO BUILD EAST. MEANWHILE STRONG SUBSIDENCE WILL BE IN
PLACE ACROSS INDIANA AND THE GREAT LAKES ON THE LEE SIDE OF THE
RIDGE AS THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW A DRY COLUMN WITH UNREACHABLE CONVECTIVE
TEMPERATURES. THUS WE EXPECT A MOSTLY SUNNY SKY TODAY.

AS FOR TEMPS WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION REMAINS IN PLACE ON
NORTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE DAY. WITH A VERY DRY COLUMN ALONG WITH
FULL AND STRONG APRIL SUN...A BLEND ON HIGHS SHOULD WORK NICELY
HERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 202 AM EDT TUE APR 12 2016

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TONIGHT WILL BE TEMPS.

SUBSIDENCE AND CLEAR SKIES ARE STILL EXPECTED TONIGHT AS INDIANA
REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTHEAST.
THIS WILL RESULT IN VERY LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS...AND WITH DEW
POINT TEMPS EXPECTED IN THE MID 20S...TEMPS BELOW FREEZING LOOK
VERY REASONABLE...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THUS WILL ISSUE A FREEZE WATCH FOR TONIGHT...FOR
MUCH IF CENTRAL INDIANA. AGAIN...A BLEND ON LOW TEMPS LOOKS VERY
REASONABLE.

ON WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT STRONG RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES AND INDIANA AS THE SURFACE HIGH ESTABLISHES
ITSELF OVER EASTERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY
EASTERLY SURFACE FLOW TO INDIANA. MEANWHILE ALOFT...STRONG WARM
AIR ADVECTION BEGINS TO PUSH WARMER AIR INTO CENTRAL INDIANA AS
850MB TEMPS RISE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH VERY DRY
AIR MASS IN PLACE THROUGH THURSDAY...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A DRY
COLUMN EVEN WITH THE WARM AIR ADVECTION. TIME HEIGHTS ALSO AGREE.
THUS WILL CONTINUE MOSTLY SUNNY DAYS AND MOSTLY CLEAR NIGHTS
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. AS FOR TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO USE A BLEND
OF THE MAVMOS AND METMOS AS THEIR SUGGESTION OF GRADUALLY WARMING
DAILY HIGHS AND LOWS APPEAR ON THE MARK.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 328 AM EDT TUE APR 12 2016

MODELS DEPICT THE LONG TERM PERIOD BEGINNING WITH SOMEWHAT OF A REX
BLOCK PATTERN IN PLACE...BEFORE ABSORBING THE LOW TO THE SOUTH INTO
A CLOSED LOW OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST...AND ALLOWING THE HIGH TO
SHIFT GRADUALLY SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE GULF COAST.

THIS WILL MAKE FOR DRY CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THE LONG TERM.
GUIDANCE BLEND SUGGESTS SOME CHANCE POPS WILL BE NECESSARY AS EARLY
AS MONDAY. WILL HAVE LOW POPS BEGINNING MONDAY AND RAMPING UP A BIT
TOWARD THE VERY END OF THE PERIOD. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF
THE BLOCK INITIALLY EXPECT THAT THE TREND WILL BE TO SLOW THE
ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT SYSTEM NEXT WEEK.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY PLEASANT DURING THE PERIOD...GENERALLY
UPPER 60S TO MID 70S ACROSS THE AREA THROUGHOUT. BLENDED
INITIALIZATION HANDLED THIS WELL.
