.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 234 AM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017

Active weather is expected to continue today and tonight.

A lingering frontal boundary across Central Indiana will continue
to be the focus for thunderstorm development. This in combination
the passing of several upper level short waves will generate
thunderstorms today and tonight.

Lesser chances for storms are expected on Wednesday as weak high
pressure to the south of Indiana keeps some dry air in place
across our state.

A cold front and Low pressure system is then expected to slowly
sag toward Central Indiana on late Wednesday and Thursday. This
will bring more rounds of showers and storms to Central Indiana.

More consistent dry weather and a more settled weather pattern
looks to return this weekend.

.NEAR TERM /Today/...

Issued at 234 AM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017

Another active weather day is in store today. Models suggest the
lingering frontal boundary across the area to remain as NW flow
remains in place with more short waves yet to come. Early this
morning radar shows thunderstorm devlopment associated with the
short waves exiting Central Indiana. GFS and NAM suggests yet
another wave arrives late this afternoon and evening. Forecast
soundings show very steep lapse rates with CAPE over 4000 j/kg and
easily attainable convective temperatures in the middle 80s.

Given our current set-up rain appears a given. Forecast soundings
show Pwats over 2 inches implying very heavy rains possible. Thus
will trend pops higher than guidance and given the ongoing warm
air advection and thermal ridge across the area will trend highs
at or slightly above the blend given several hours of dry weather
will be possible.

Forecast soundings suggest lower level helicity values not
favorable for supercells...but given the available cape and
some marginal lower level shear available this afternoon some
storms could become severe. Furthermore...any heavy rainers could
result in Flash Flooding...particularly across our NE areas that
have seen heavy rains as of late. May consider a Flash Flood
watch in those areas.

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/...

Issued at 234 AM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017

Models continue to suggests active weather this evening....with a
break on Wednesday...followed by another round of showers and
storms on Thursday and Thursday Night.

Tonight's GFS shows the departure of a quick moving short wave
will most likely continue to develop thunderstorms across the
area given the very moist and warm air mass in place and the
lingering surface boundary. Thus will once again trend pops higher
than mavmos in most locations...especially along and north of the
I-70 corridor where forcing appears best. As the short wave
departs late tonight...forecast soundings show dry air intruding
into the column as models suggest subsidence arriving from the
southwest as low pressure begins to move through the Great lakes.
Thus will trend toward a dry forecast tonight and again on early
Wednesday and subsidence and dry air should keep convection in
check. Again with the thermal ridge in place will trend lows and
Wednesday highs at or above the forecast builder blend.

Forecast soundings on Wednesday night suggest 700mb temps over 10C
and convective temps in the 90s...which implies a cap...however
confidence is low as the GFS suggests a short wave pushing into
the northern parts of Indiana near 00Z Thursday. Thus may include
a some small chances north late on Wednesday.

On Wednesday night through Thursday night there is more certainty
that another round of active weather looks to return. Forecast
soundings show a much more moist column through this period as the
GFS and NAM sow a trough working through the Great Lakes aloft and
pushing several short waves across Indiana. On Thursday and
thursday evening forecast soundings once again show CAPE soaring
above 3000 J/KG with convective temps in the upper 80s with little
to no cap. Thus will again raise pops on Thursday and Thursday
evening at or above the forecast builder blend.

.LONG TERM /Friday through Monday/...
Issued at 416 AM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017

Ensembles in good agreement during this period. Heat ridge will be
centered over the Rockies through the weekend, with weak mean upper
troughing over the local area. The ensembles suggest the heat ridge
may try to build back into the Midwest early next week.

Will keep chance PoPs going on Friday as an upper disturbance looks
to be in process of passing through. Another upper wave may move
through the area around Sunday. Some of the ensembles suggest a
convective threat with this wave, but the trend is drier with this
wave, so will keep the rest of the extended dry for now.

.AVIATION /Discussion for the 110900Z KIND TAF Update/...
Issued at 416 AM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017

Remnant vorticity center associated with earlier convection over
Illinois is beginning to move into west central Indiana. This
feature is expected to pass off to the east of the KIND terminal
around 111400Z. 30-35 kts of enhanced flow in the 925-850mb layer
will keep the threat for convection in the vicinity of the KIND
terminal through the mid morning hours.

Previous discussion follows.

The storms have been slow to develop and spread south this evening
compared to HRRR runs. Thus, will only go VCTS through 10z. Then,
should see more storms develop after 16z as another wave approaches
and the atmosphere becomes moderately to strongly unstable.

Good confidence that flying conditions should be mostly VFR away
from thunderstorms.

Winds will be southwest 10 knots or less but with high gusts
possible in thunderstorms.

348 AM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017

This hazardous weather outlook is for central Indiana.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Outlook: A FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect through this evening. Thunderstorms
can be expected at times today and tonight. Some storms may be
produce Heavy rain. Severe Storms cannot be ruled out.

Hazards: Flash Flooding, Damaging winds, large hail, heavy rain and
lightning.

Timing: Throughout the day and into the evening. The flooding and severe
risk will be this afternoon and evening.

Discussion: A frontal boundary, along with several upper level
weather disturbances are expected to generate thunderstorms today
and tonight. Some storms may produce heavy rain which could result in
flash flooding. Damaging winds and large hail will be the primary
threats should any thunderstorm become severe. Lightning is a threat
from any storm.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Outlook: Periodic threats for strong to severe thunderstorms will
exist through Friday. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main
severe threats. Dangerous cloud to ground lightning and heavy
rainfall are threats with any thunderstorm.

Thunderstorms over the next few days will have the potential to
bring a few inches of rain to parts of central Indiana. With many
locations already having saturated ground and elevated water levels,
any additional rain would bring a return of flooding and exacerbate
existing flooding.

In addition to the storms...dewpoints will surge into the middle 70s
Tuesday through Thursday...creating oppressive conditions as high
temperatures warm into the upper 80s and lower 90s in some locations.
This will create max heat indices in the middle 90s to near 100.

Discussion: Daily chances for storms will continue through Friday as
a northwest flow aloft enables several upper level disturbances to
track across the region and interact with a frontal boundary.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed today and tonight, and may be
needed at other times throughout the week.
