Area forecast discussion, Oct 7, 1:57 AM EDT, 1 hour 53 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
157 AM EDT Fri Oct 7 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 155 AM EDT Fri Oct 7 2016

Dry conditions are expected overnight with lows by daybreak in
the upper 50s to lower 60s. A passing cold front will then bring
another chance for scattered showers and perhaps an isolated
thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening. Drier and noticeably
much cooler weather is expected behind this front. Highs on
Saturday in the lower 60s and lows in the lower 40s. Temperatures
moderate by next week though with dry conditions persisting.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 223 PM EDT Thu Oct 6 2016

Composite outflow from decaying convective complex that shifted
out of ne IL this morning firing isolated storms from here ne.
Better near term focus immediately upstream over ern IL within
area of enhanced sfc convergence and increasing cape. Prior hrrr
solutions along with 12Z SPC NNM initiate storms in this area this
aftn which then tracks ne into srn MI. Prior update followed this
idea and held.

Otherwise dry tonight into Fri am as dynamical focus shifts west
along approaching cold frontal boundary extending southward of
disturbance lifting up across the wrn lakes. Essentially slowed w-e
progression of pops Fri versus previous fcst. Best implied low
chance timed with peak diurnal destablization Fri aftn cntrl/ern IN
zones.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 223 PM EDT Thu Oct 6 2016

Brief but modest post frontal cold advection wraps in Sat
followed by rapid moderation thereafter as high zonal flow
develops across the Conus. Mos guidance temps have oscillated
somewhat last several cycles with latest blends looking a bit
underdone dys 5-7.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued at 155 AM EDT Fri Oct 7 2016

Primarily VFR conditions through the period with focus on veering
surface flow as cold front slides eastward across northern IN this
afternoon. Disjointed low level jet tracking well northwest of
region into northern Upper Great Lakes by mid/late morning to
likely induce convective void across area with dynamics north/richer
moisture orphaned to the south. Minor concern for post frontal
showers with high end MVFR ceilings possible with top/down
saturation as lagged mid level height falls increase late
afternoon/evening. Have relegated this potential to best 3 hour
period with improvement back to VFR assured thereafter.
