NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 26, 2:47 PM EDT, 5 hours 2 minutes earlier.
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. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 142 PM EDT Sun Jun 26 2016 Vfr conds xpcd through the pd. Prefntl trough in assocn/w sw trough swirling through wrn ON stretching fm wrn lwr MI swwd through wrn IL cont ewd through the aftn.
