Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 2:14 PM EDT, 5 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 214 PM EDT FRI JUL 29 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 212 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to last into Saturday afternoon as a low pressure system crosses the region. Localized flooding due to heavy rain and slow storm movement is possible through this evening. Lows tonight will be in the 60s. Highs Saturday will be around 80. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 212 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Chaotic pattn sfc and aloft this aftn. Old synoptic fntl zone had mixed into swrn zones w/composite outflw/wk cdfntl zone through srn MI. Meanwhile aloft...w-e vort channel and wk mid lvl frontogenesis overhead conts to persist ewd of fractured sw disturbances extending fm se NE into wrn IL. Given stg heating/destabilization ongoing xpc dvlpg convn ovr w/sw areas in proximity to old synoptic bndry will expand ewd inadv of apchg wave coming out of wrn IL and build ewd acrs nrn IN lt this aftn and into OH by evening. Otrws activity contg within composite bndry ovr srn MI into nw OH likely to persist until lead sw disturbance pivots through this evening. In all most areas esp nwd of the highway 24 corridor shld see a more generous coverage of shra/tsra this aftn evening as this sys works through the area. Contd wk flw aloft within an appreciably moist airmass again points to localized heavy rainfall yet without a more coherent focus aloft nor sig ll mass flux no water related headlines needed. Ltl chg xpcd on Sat as pattn aloft persists w/primary mid lvl trough axis finally making a push east lt Sat night. Will expand prior pops while emphasizing nrn half for btr implied chc both Sat aftn and eve tied to diurnal heating cycle and persisting mid lvl convergence. && .LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 212 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Ridging aloft to build sigly and spread ewd into the wrn Lakes this pd as east Canada troughing breaks down although that appears likely to redvlp twd dy8.

Regardless at this range will truncate fallacious blended pops to lwr bound chcs given lack of model based temporal consensus on both upr ridge placement and intensity. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 141 PM EDT Fri Jul 29 2016 Low pressure crossing the region will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the terminals late this afternoon into this evening. Otherwise, with abundant moisture, light winds, and a stationary front in the area expect low end MVFR and even IFR ceilings and visibilities to make a return tonight. There are additional chances for showers and storms Saturday afternoon beyond the TAF period. && .IWX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE.
