Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 12:32 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 132 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 140 AM EDT Mom Jun 18 2017 A strong low pressure system over southeast Ontario will move slowly northeast early this week resulting in cooler and less humid air over our area. A couple of troughs rotating around the Ontario low are expected to cause scattered showers and a few thunderstorms in our area today and Tuesday. High pressure will move across our area Wednesday providing fair weather. The high will move east late this week as a cold front approaches from the northwest, resulting in warmer more humid conditions with a chance of thunderstorms. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight and Tuesday) Issued at 132 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017 Sw trough spreading ewd across cntrl lake MI triggering sct tsra this aftn esp along sfc composite lake breeze confluent zone from nw IN through srn MI. Expect coverage will widen further through mid aftn in response to continued favorable sfc based destabilization as cold pool aloft deepens overhead. Otherwise activity will pull quickly ewd out out of the cwa by evening. Similar situation expected tomorrow as nw flow aloft across the lakes continues before breaking long term. Upstream sw dropping through MB looks fairly robust per water vapor imagery. Fittingly bulk of latest and prior CAMS models point to vigorous convective development by mid aftn Tue along leading edge of mid level trough. Given attendant speed max nr 80kts and focused ascent plume likely to see some loose organization. && .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 132 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017 Tricky period stemming from tropical disturbance developing through the northern Gomex and eventual northward progression into the mid MS/lower OH valley late period. Start of the period features newd progression of mean troughing through se Canada and upstream height rises across the lakes. More summer like weather expected as a result as sw flow deepens across the area swd of next vigorous disturbance amplifying through srn Canada dys 4-5 (Thu/Fri) with active w-e oriented frontal zone aligned through the srn lakes/OH valley. In absence of a more concerted model consensus at this range will generally follow blended guidance in lieu of a more compelling solution. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday Morning) Issued at 132 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017 An upper level disturbance combined with cold air aloft this afternoon will sct showers/storms this afternoon. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
