Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 6:12 PM EDT, 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 612 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 612 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 A cold front will bring low chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms this this evening along and west of US 31. Drier and cooler air then filters in behind this front tonight into early next week. Highs on Monday will reach the mid 70s to near 80 degrees, with highs on Tuesday in the upper 70s to low 80s. Warmer and dry then into Wednesday before the next cold front brings renewed rain and storm chances Wednesday night into Thursday. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday) Issued at 210 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 The main focus for the remainder of the afternoon and early evening will be on shower/storm coverage and intensity. Very subtle/diffuse boundaries on the leading edge of an approaching mid level shortwave trough may provide enough of a focus for isolated to widely scattered showers/storms across ne IN/nw OH/sc Lower MI during the mid-late afternoon. Weak forcing/convergence with overall moisture quality in question should limit the coverage and intensity, though cannot rule out an isolated stronger storm given MLCAPE values near 1500-2000 j/kg and deep layer shear ~30 knots. The other feature of note will be scattered convection expected to develop across ne IL/srn WI near the primary cold front. This activity will attempt to survive into areas mainly west of US 31 early this evening, weakening and shifting more south with time thanks to waning diurnal instability and orientation of main instability axis. Passage of the synoptic scale trough will allow cooler and much drier air to filter in later tonight into Monday as flow in the low levels back north-northeast post-frontal. Subsidence/height rises in wake of the trough, with sfc high pressure gradually building in from the northwest, will result in dry conditions and only a scattered CU field on Monday. && .LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday) Issued at 210 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 Dry and noticeably less humid conditions will persist into Monday night and Tuesday under high pressure surface and aloft. Heat/humidity levels then increase into Wednesday as southwest flow returns in advance of an approaching cold front expected to move through the local area later Wednesday night-Thursday with the only real threat for showers/storms during the long term period. Chances for severe storms appear low given marginal shear profiles and unfavorable diurnal timing (another weakening/early morning MCS?). Ample moisture return (not surprising for late July in the Corn Belt) and slowing nature to the frontal slope/convection as it becomes more aligned to weaker mid- level flow could pose a heavy rain threat. This return to storm chances and higher humidity will be brief as the next Canadian shortwave southeast through the Great Lakes brings high pressure and dry conditions back into the picture Friday into next weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday Evening) Issued at 612 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 VFR this period as high pressure builds through the wrn lakes. Storms over nw IN will slide swwd of the terminals near term and pose no threat. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE.
