Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 2:47 PM EDT, 5 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
247 PM EDT SUN JUN 26 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 247 PM EDT Sun Jun 26 2016

A cold front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the
region this afternoon into early this evening. A few thunderstorms
may be strong with isolated wind gusts to 50 mph possible. Drier
air will overspread tonight into Monday behind this cold front.
Lows tonight will drop into the 60s...with highs on Monday into
the upper 80s to near 90. A quiet and cooler weather pattern will
then settle in for the remainder of the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Late This Afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 247 PM EDT Sun Jun 26 2016

Main focus into the late afternoon and early evening will remain on
convective trends. Very moist airmass in place (sfc dewpoints
into the low 70s and PWATS near 2 inches) definitely sufficient to
generate convection along a pre-frontal outflow already east of I-
69. Excellent recovery/some clearing behind this outflow
into northwest Indiana where tight instability gradient is
setting up (SBCAPE values pushing 3000-3500 j/kg toward the US-30
corridor as of 18z). This should be enough to allow more
substantial/deep convection to fire along system cold front mid-
late afternoon, then weakening east-southeast into Ohio later this
aftn/evening. Initiation is most likely across northwest Indiana-
southwest Lower MI 19-21z, then clustering southeast into areas
along and southeast of the US-24 corridor 22-02z. Stronger
multicell clusters may contain an isolated wind threat given low
shear and moderate/high CAPE profile across mainly Indiana.

Drier air will overspread post-frontal tonight into Monday as
height falls through Ontario and the Northern Great Lakes helps
shunt deeper moisture south toward the OH/TN Valleys. Temps aloft
will trend a touch cooler tomorrow but this will be offset at the
sfc by dry air/full sun and deeper mixing which will likely support
highs near 90F in most locations. A secondary cold front will
drop into the area Monday afternoon/evening on leading edge of
main trailing mid-level trough axis. There could be just enough
lingering boundary layer moisture/destabilization to force a few
showers/storms along this feature once it drops into northwest
Indiana mid-late afternoon. Per collaboration and due to a very
limited moisture supply opted to hold with a dry (10 PoP) fcst.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 247 PM EDT Sun Jun 26 2016

A quiet weather pattern will set up during the long term period as
a cool northwest flow regime takes hold on the region. While at the
surface high pressure will mainly be in control keeping much of the
periods dry.
