Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
424 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 410 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2017

Low pressure over northeast Oklahoma this morning will move
slowly northeast into the upper Great Lakes by Monday. This will
result in warmer temperatures across our area today and cooler
conditions again Monday. Showers and scattered thunderstorms with
locally heavy rainfall are expected to continue in the area
through tonight. Scattered showers along with windy conditions are
expected Monday and Monday night, with showers diminishing
Tuesday as the low moves slowly away from our area. High pressure
will build into the area Tuesday night and Wednesday providing
fair weather, but temperatures will remain below normal for early
May.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 410 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2017

Warm front has become rather difficult to locate due to
convective outflows but appears to extend from sfc low over ne OK
ne into srn IN. Low expected to lift slowly ne today allowing warm
front to lift north into our cwa. IWX VWP suggests cold air is
very shallow over our area with southerly winds on the second gate
at 3kft. On the other hand, southerly sfc gradient not progged by
models to be that strong today so the shallow cool layer may not
mix out, especially across the n-nw portion of cwa closer to
frontal boundary. Given this uncertainty and cool start to the
day, lowered max temps for today a few degrees. Convection over
MO/AR expected to split with nrn portion of showers and sct tstms
lifting ne along h85 warm front, clipping our nw this morning,
while solid tstm line to the south propagates more to the east
into more unstable airmass. This may leave se portion of the cwa
mainly dry this morning, but as airmass destabilizes this aftn,
expect sct shower/tstm development across this area as well. Given
fcst moderate instability with around 1000j/kg cape and 0-6km
shear around 40kt, slight risk of svr storms. Any showers and
especially tstms will contain heavy rainfall in this moist airmass
with pwat's> 1.5". Kept FFA in tact for nw since area of
showers/tstms expected to move through this morning should be of
fairly long duration and could deposit considerable rainfall with
more still likely this aftn/tonight.

Cdfnt will sweep across the area tonight, accompanied by a line of
showers and with wk instability, tstms also psbl. This line will
likely contain heavy rainfall, but of short duration. Also given
very strong wind field accompanying the line, there is a potential
for some damaging wind gusts even in relatively low topped
convection.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 410 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2017

Temps behind the cdfnt should fall into the 50s Monday morning and
remain there through the aftn with brisk winds and mostly cloudy
skies as deep low lifts ne into the upr grtlks. Strong cyclonic flow
and rather deep moisture should result in sct showers as well. These
conditions will persist into Monday night with lows in the 40s. Sct
showers should grdly diminish Tue as drier air filters in behind the
departing low. Temps will remain well below normal with highs in the
50s.

High pressure will move across our area Tue night and Wed providing
fair wx with contd cool temps. A strong shrtwv expected to dig se
into the lwr ms valley Thu resulting in another strong low
pressure system lifting slowly ne late in the week. Still appears
this system will track farther to the east than this weekend's
storm with best chances for showers associated with it across our
ern/sern counties. Temperatures will remain below normal through
the period as deep upr trof develops over the ern USA.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday Night)
Issued at 241 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2017

Lingering light rain will persist early this morning over northern
Indiana. A strong warm front will lift north and initially bring
low ceilings and continued chances for showers and storms.
Conditions should improve some later today, although chances for
showers and storms will persist.
