Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
233 PM EDT Tue May 9 2017

.UPDATE...
The LONG TERM Section has been updated below.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue May 9 2017

A weak area of Low pressure will exit Central Indiana this
evening. In its wake...a frontal boundary will be left across
Indiana...and this will be the focus for weather over the next
several days.

Mainly dry weather is expected tonight as weak high pressure
arrives in the area along with the lingering front. Much of
Wednesday should remain dry across Central Indiana...however as
the day progresses...chances for showers and storms will increase.
Daytime heating along with the arrival of an upper level
disturbance on Wednesday Night is expected to lead to more rain.

The front will continue to linger across Central Indiana through
Friday...bringing occasional showers or storms to the area
through the end of the work week.

High pressure is expected to arrive this weekend...bringing a
return of dry weather and near normal temperatures.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Today/...

Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue May 9 2017

Surface analysis early this afternoon shows an area of weak low
pressure over Central Illinois. A warm front extended southeast
from the low across Central Indiana. Large difference were found
on each side of the front...as seen with temps in the 50s at
Muncie and Indianapolis...and 60s and 70s on the south side at
Bloomington...Terre Haute and Vincennes. The morning showers and
storms appear to have all but ended...except for a quickly
departing showers near Greensburg and North Vernon.

Main forecast challenge tonight will be pops. GFS suggests the
surface front will remain along and near I-74. Aloft...minimal
forcing appears to prevail as ridging builds aloft. Time heights
and forecast soundings show saturated lower levels along and near
the front tonight...but with minimal forcing. Mid and upper levels
appear dry beneath the ridging aloft. Thus confidence for precip
will be low. However given the available lower level moisture
along the front and weak lower level convergence expected...some
very light rain or drizzle cannot be ruled out...but confidence
for measurable precip is low. Furthermore...fog
overnight...particularly on the north side of the front will be
expected...given the ample moisture and weak winds.

Given the expected clouds...will trend low warmer than a blend.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Wednesday through Friday/...

Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue May 9 2017

Similar features remain in place on Wednesday morning as compared
to the overnight period. Plenty of lower level moisture remains
present amid minimal forcing. Thus will expect a slow burn off of
morning clouds and fog...and again. Better forcing begins to
arrive on Wednesday afternoon as the GFS suggest a short wave
arriving in the late afternoon. Forecast soundings suggest
convective temps in the upper 70s which should be reached on the
warm side of the front...and elevated convection appears possible
near the front above the surface inversion. Thus will trend pops
upward during the late afternoon hours as more organized forcing
along with daytime heating. A blend on temps will work well.

Highest confidence for precip during this period will be Wednesday
Night as best short wave dynamics arrive aloft...riding the ridge.
With the surface front providing lower level convergence and
force soundings showing deep saturation...again...confidence is
high. Thus will trend pops higher on Wednesday night.
Again...given the expected clouds and rain will trend lows at or
above the blend.

GFS and NAM suggest more upper level dynamics poised to push
across Indiana on Thursday through Friday. The upper low over the
western plains continues to suggest short wave energy will be
ejected from the system and stream across Indiana...providing
lift. Meanwhile in the lower levels...little will have changed.
The frontal boundary looks to remain across Indiana...providing a
focus for development and lower level convergence. Thus periods of
showers and storms appear quite reasonable on Thursday through
Friday. Forecast soundings continue to suggest deep saturation
through the period with pwats ranging from 1.25 to 1.50. Although
this should not be as heavy as previous rains...the long duration
of the precip and possible isolated heavier rains could result in
additional flooding over Indiana's already saturated grounds. Thus
through the period we will continue to trend pops highs...highs
cooler than the blend and lows warmer. As just stated...will be
watching closely the progression of these systems for flooding
threats.

&&

.LONG TERM /Friday Night through Tuesday/...
Issued at 233 PM EDT Tue May 9 2017

The blocky upper level pattern that has dominated the weather
across the lower 48 so far this month is showing no signs of
breaking...just yet. With that being said...a subtle shift in
positioning of the dual upper lows over the western and eastern
parts of the country will lead to a change in weather across the
Ohio Valley and central Indiana for the weekend trending towards
primarily dry and more seasonable for mid May.

The front responsible for the unsettled weather this week will be
departing away from the region late Friday with a surface high
pressure ridge predominantly in control for the weekend. Extended
model consensus still favoring low pressure tracking through the
Great lakes late Saturday into Sunday associated with another
piece of energy aloft diving into the eastern trough. Recent
trends have been shifting primary impacts from this feature more
north and east of the forecast area with only a small chance for a
shower Saturday night over northeast counties.

The amplifying upper low setting up over New England will help to
spin up a deep surface low off the northeast coast by early next
week. Central Indiana and the Ohio Valley will remain far enough
west for little to no impact from this system...other than
maintaining a blocky pattern that will last for much of next
week with only small chances for rain through the middle of next
week. Low level thermals are supportive of more normal
temperatures for this time of year with highs likely to be in the
70s for most throughout the extended. With cyclonic flow
present...dewpoints will be lower than average keeping humidities
low as well.

Enjoy this brief reprieve as signs do exist on the horizon for a
shift back to a more active pattern by late next week as the
western trough kicks east and the stagnant upper level pattern
begins to break down.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for 091800Z TAF Issuance/...
Issued at 110 PM EDT Tue May 9 2017

Primarily VFR conditions this afternoon and evening with the
exception of KLAF...more substantial restrictions up to IFR
possible overnight into Wednesday morning.

Warm front running from near KPIA southeast to between KHUF and
KIND into northern Kentucky. Skies have become partly cloudy with
S/SW winds developing south of the warm front at both KBMG and
KHUF...while thicker clouds and E/SE flow continued at KIND and
KLAF. The warm front may drift north slightly through the
afternoon...but overall anticipate it will remain relatively close
to its current position. KIND remains in nearest proximity to the
boundary lending to a lower confidence wind forecast than the
other terminals. Suspect winds will predominantly remain from the
southeast at KIND through the afternoon but should the boundary
near or even briefly slip past the terminal...would see a quick
shift to south-southwest.

VFR ceilings are expected at all but KLAF as near-IFR stratus
likely lingers all afternoon there north of the front. Not out of
the question that these lower ceilings could work back to near
KIND but again...confidence is too low to include at this time.
Hi-res guidance continues to advertise scattered convective
development near and south of the boundary late this afternoon and
evening before diminishing in coverage overnight. Model soundings
and RH progs do provide higher confidence to more substantial
ceiling and visibility restrictions developing late tonight and
Wednesday morning as a shallow yet sharp inversion develops. The
greatest impacts would likely reside at KIND and KLAF near and
north of the warm front.
