Area forecast discussion, Aug 19, 1:06 PM EDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 106 PM EDT FRI AUG 19 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 357 AM EDT Fri Aug 19 2016 Warm and humid conditions will persist through Saturday with a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm this afternoon. Highs will reach the lower to middle 80s. A generally quiet night is expected with increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms late Saturday afternoon into Saturday night as a cold front sweeps across the area. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 357 AM EDT Fri Aug 19 2016 Outflow boundary, from convection that developed upstream this past evening, was making its way across the forecast area with at best widely scattered showers and an isolated storm. Stratiform precip was quickly falling apart across Northern Illinois with loss of forcing and refocusing of convection now back into Iowa and Minnesota where storms were moving to the east and northeast. Challenge today will be effects of the outflow moving through and remnant mcv that will track se out of wisconsin into the area this afternoon. Limited instability will be in place with little shear. Chance exists that measurable rain may not occur as large stable bubble could settle into the area. Have opted to go dry in the 12 to 18z window but hold with at least a 20 pop this afternoon for threat of a pop up shower or storm. Assuming cloud cover can clear out, highs in the lower to middle 80s should be in store with a warm and muggy night as we await the approach of the advertised trough which will be moving through the eastern plains tonight. && .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 357 AM EDT Fri Aug 19 2016 Main story will be approach of strong trough digging into the western great lakes at the start of the period. Previous forecast generally kept intact with trough and associated cold front set to move into western areas late Saturday afternoon and progress east Saturday night. Some hints that arrival in the west could be a few hours slower...but given strong and progressive nature of the trough have kept with previous trends. superblend of models brings in marginal categorical pops into far nw sections. With the best convergence and forcing on or just ahead of the front best scenario will be for a broken to possible solid line of showers and storms to move through. marginal risk for severe storms in place for the day as 1000-1500 j/kg of sfc based CAPE arrive with the front along with pwats around 2 inches. timing and amount of destabilization will play a factor in severe potential with greater threat remaining heavy rainfall. Trough will clear the area by Sunday morning...with much cooler and less humid air arriving with highs only in the 70s. Return flow will be slow to establish but should materialize by mid week. A series of waves will bring slgt chc to chc pops through the end of the period. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 105 PM EDT Fri Aug 19 2016 Rain/thunder and brief restrictions tied to convective outflow from weakening MCV through the northern Lakes should end shortly after TAF issuance at KSBN...leaving a mainly dry/VFR period for the remainder of the afternoon/evening. Could see an iso-sct shower or storm develop along outflow into KFWA, best chances 19-21z. Models continue to suggest increasing chances for MVFR BR/clouds and possibly a few showers later tonight into Saturday morning in response to weak moisture advection in advance of an approaching upper trough/cold front. && .IWX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
