Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 3:03 PM EDT, 3 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Correction National Weather Service Northern Indiana 303 PM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 232 PM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017 Hot and humid conditions will persist through Thursday with highs generally in the upper 80s to near 90 and lows near 70. This humidity may also help create scattered showers and thunderstorms each day near a weak frontal boundary, best chances during the afternoon and early evening hours. By the weekend, temperatures will be closer to normal, but still feature periodic chances for rain. && .SHORT TERM...(Late This Afternoon through Wednesday Night) Issued at 232 PM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017 Remaining hot/humid with periodic shower/storm chances... Widely scattered pulse showers/storms will continue across nrn IN/nw OH/sc Lower MI into the late afternoon and early evening...in an area of weak low level convergence (marine enhanced) and ample boundary layer moisture/CAPE. Lacking deep layer forcing/shear under an upper ridge axis should limit coverage/intensity, though cannot rule out isolated 40-60 mph wind gusts, hail, and locally heavy rain with stronger cores. Diurnally driven stabilizing effects will support a trend toward mainly dry conditions under the upper ridge axis tonight into Wednesday morning. However, did hold onto at least some low PoPs during this time given lingering MUCAPE with 10-20 knots of low level southwest flow into weak convergence zone (expected to reorient more nw to se across sw Lower MI/nrn IN). The best signal for thunderstorm development continues to be later Wednesday into Wednesday night as the upper ridge axis shifts off to the east and a lead/convectively aided shortwave tracks east into this unstable environment/lingering subtle frontal zone. Locally heavy rain will continue to be the main threat given slow storm movement and high moisture content. A lesser threat with be isolated strong/severe storms with slight uptick in deep layer shear to near 20 knots. && .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 232 PM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017 A more active/quasi-zonal northern stream flow regime will take hold on the region late this week into the weekend...with the result being a trend toward slightly cooler (closer to normal) temps and periodic chances for showers/storms as several impulses propagate through. Confidence in timing of higher PoPs offered by the 12z model consensus during these periods remains low given reliance on waves (timing) to take advantage of building heat/instability each day. Cooler/drier conditions are then expected into early next week as upper troughing becomes better established forcing instability axis well south. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 105 PM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017 Plenty of instability and temps near convective initiation...all it took was convective outflow to trigger. Outflow swept southward across Lake MI and this has triggered isold convection at KSBN. Likewise convection is kicking off throughout the region. Shear is weak and most storms will quickly develop vertically before collapsing. This is also favorable to outflow boundary formation and subsequent triggering. Have kept VFR conditions in the TAFs and expect to see a break in the convection after 02Z. Another round of convection will form overnight / early Wednesday morning. With the moisture from the showers and abundant BL moisture...cannot rule out patchy fog overnight but not extensive or deep enough to include in the individual TAF sites. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
