Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 740 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 .UPDATE... Near Term...Watch/Warning/Advisory section and Aviation section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 246 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 A brief break from thunderstorms can be expected Wednesday, before rain chances return by Thursday with a cold front. High pressure will then provide dry conditions Saturday. A couple of fronts could bring some more rain to parts of the area Sunday and Tuesday. Hot and humid conditions midweek will give way to closer to average conditions by the weekend. && .NEAR TERM.../Rest of Tonight/ Issued at 740 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 Showers and Storms quickly moved out of our area late this afternoon. With the area being worked over and the rapid refresh indicating no more storms overnight...will cancel the flash flood watch early. Areas that received very heavy rain earlier today...will handle with areal flood warnings. But the main point is no more heavy rain will occur tonight. Will keep 20 percent POPS in our north and northeast sections this evening and go dry elsewhere. Rest of the the near term including low temperatures is still on track. && .SHORT TERM.../Wednesday through Friday/ Issued at 246 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 Models are close enough that the model blend initialization was accepted for most items. On Wednesday the upper ridge nudges into the area and temperatures aloft warm. This should inhibit convection for the much of the area. Cannot rule out an isolated storm, but odds are too low to mention. Went cooler than most guidance for highs across a good part of the area with the wet ground. It will still be very warm though with highs in the upper 80s to around 90. Wednesday night a cold front will approach the area, so will go with some chance PoPs across the northwest half or so of the forecast area. As the front moves into the area Thursday and Thursday night will go chance PoPs all areas. Will keep some lingering PoPs Friday as the front exits. Wouldn't rule out some strong storms on Thursday with the front. Confidence is medium in chances and timing of rain during the short term as how convection develops one period could affect the next period's chances. && .LONG TERM /Friday night through Monday/... Issued at 212 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 Central Indiana is expected to dry out this weekend and early next week as ensembles expand the Rockies upper ridge to the northeast. This will help let river and stream crests progress as quickly as possible. Confidence in mostly dry weather is good. See not reason to mess with seasonable blend temperatures with highs mostly in the 80s. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 120000Z TAF Issuance/... Issued at 740 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 VFR through the period. MCS has moved out and latest short term models indicate quiet weather overnight and Wednesday as high pressure along the southeast U.S. coast and low pressure moving from the central plains to upper midwest keeps us under a Southwest flow. Could be some marginal low level wind shear at KLAF late tonight as pressure gradient a little stronger there. Added a little diurnal CU at TAF sites Wednesday. Winds will be southwest 5 to 8 knots overnight and around 12 knots Wednesday. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...50 NEAR TERM...JH SHORT TERM...50 LONG TERM...MK AVIATION...JH
