Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 4:22 PM EDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 422 PM EDT WED JUL 13 2016 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 156 PM EDT Wed Jul 13 2016 The Wednesday morning weather map showed a cold front over the Plains. The front is forecast to slowly move east and cross Indiana Friday. High pressure will move west to east over the Hoosier state during the weekend. Another cold front should pass Monday with high pressure returning midweek. && .NEAR TERM (Tonight)... Issued at 156 PM EDT Wed Jul 13 2016 The main issue is thunderstorm chances. Recent guidance is limited due to problems at the Network Control Facility. However, the Short Range Ensemble from SPC is available. It has a cluster of thunderstorms crossing the CWA this evening and early tonight. Peak activity is about 02Z-03Z. Some storms could pop up either before or after the main cluster passes. The hourly POPs will ramp up from chance early in the period to likely late evening,then drop to chance again. Based on history, possible heavy rain will be mentioned. The earlier forecast was for lows in the lower 70s tonight. That looks good considering current observations and the history of this air. && .SHORT TERM (Thursday through Saturday)... Issued at 156 PM EDT Wed Jul 13 2016 The major issue is storm chances. Limited guidance due to problems at Network Control Facility is a complicating factor. Based on what has managed to come in today--primarily the NAM--no major changes are needed from the morning package. This forecast will mostly retain what was in that. A more complete revision will be made when possible. && .LONG TERM /Saturday night through Wednesday/... Issued at 159 PM EDT Wed Jul 13 2016 This period will be characterized by a similar pattern to our current one with somewhat flat upper flow steering weak short waves east southeast across the Great Lakes and Ohio valley. With temperatures and dewpoints near to slightly above normal expect the potential for scattered thunderstorms or MCS clusters through Tuesday. Given that short waves are weak its too hard to give any timing to storms thus a continuation of day and night storms likely following typical afternoon heating and nocturnal cycles. By Tuesday...and onward through the rest of next week...the upper ridge will be strengthening and building eastward over us. This should result in the storm track shifting toward New England with remnant surface front sparking convection in the Tennessee Valley and Gulf States. For our area the upper ridging will translate to the hottest temperatures of the season with little or no rain. && .AVIATION (Discussion for 132100Z TAF Update)... Issued at 422 PM EDT Wed Jul 13 2016 Expect VFR conditions and southwest winds around 10kt except during thunderstorms. Scattered storms through 04z may produce winds in excess of 50 knots, large hail, and lifr conditions in heavy rain. A lull in convection should follow through around 141200z when a cold front approaches the area and renews the storm threat. && .IND Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...JK NEAR TERM...JK SHORT TERM...JK LONG TERM....TUCEK AVIATION...DT/JK
