Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
703 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

.UPDATE...
The AVIATION section has been updated below.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 237 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

A meandering frontal system will eventually pass off to the east
towards the middle of the week. In the wake of the front, high
pressure will move into the area for the later parts of the week
and on into the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Rest of This Afternoon and Tonight/...
Issued at 237 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

Diffuse frontal boundary looks to be located from southeast Indiana
back into west central Indiana and central Illinois. Successive
convective outflows over the past couple of days has pushed the
better instability well southwest of the area. At this time, din't
really see much of a trigger for convection for the rest of the
afternoon and early evening hours, so will only keep some small
chance PoPs going at those times.

Short term model data suggest some convective development is
possible after about 120300Z-120400Z as some enhanced flow in the
925-850mb layer noses into the area. However, mid level lapse rates
look rather poor tonight. Based on this, will nudge up the PoPs a
bit for later tonight, but keep them in the chance category.

No real issues with the GFS MOS lows tonight, based off of low level
thicknesses.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Tuesday through Thursday/...
Issued at 237 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

Model data suggest upper ridge will retrograde some back into the
Plains during this period, as a short wave trough moves through the
Great Lakes around Wednesday, and into New England be Thursday.

Cold front associated with the Great Lakes trough is expected to
move across the local area Tuesday night into Wednesday morning,
exiting the southeast zones around midday Wednesday. Will keep PoPs
in the forecast for Tuesday and Tuesday night, and over the
southeast zones Wednesday morning to cover the frontal passage.

Operational and ensembles in agreement on generally dry weather by
Wednesday night and Thursday, as weak surface high pressure moves
in, resulting in more stable air mass.

Progged low level thicknesses suggest the GFS MOS temperature
guidance for the next couple of days look reasonable at this time,
except for Wednesday night, where the lows look a little cool. Will
bump the guidance lows up about a category in that period.

&&

.LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Monday/...

Issued at 154 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

ECMWF continues to show strong ridging building across the Great
Lakes and Ohio Valley through this period. Any upper forcing
support should remain well north of central Indiana. This will
result in only daytime heating and lower levels boundaries to
drive precip chances. Forecast builder suggests slight or low
chance pops at many times through the period...however confidence
in this is low without any upper support and ridging in place.

Overall, given the set-up, confidence is very low for specific
shower or thunderstorm chances during this time.

By Sunday and Monday...very warm and humid gulf air will be
arriving. Here we trended daily highs at or slightly above the
forecast builder blend.

&&

.AVIATION (Discussion for the 120000Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 703 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

A period of MVFR ceilings is expected at KLAF overnight, otherwise
VFR conditions are expected (outside of convection).

Most MVFR ceilings have moved out of the area, so expect VFR
ceilings to rule this evening. Overnight a period of MVFR ceilings
looks likely at KLAF.

Some scattered convection across central Illinois at the moment will
move southeast and could potentially impact all sites but KLAF early
this evening. Handled these with VCTS or VCSH.

Confidence for coverage and timing of convection overnight into
Tuesday remains low. Put in a period of VCTS overnight for potential
nocturnal development, then PROB30s on Tuesday for additional
development. Will try to amend and provide better timing if trends
become clearer.

429 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

This hazardous weather outlook is for central Indiana.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Outlook: Thunderstorm activity is possible through tonight. Severe
storms are not expected at this time, however some storms may
contain gusty winds and heavy rainfall, which may lead to localized
flooding.

Hazards: Cloud to ground lightning, gusty winds, and heavy rainfall
which may result in reduced visibility and localized flooding.

Timing: Thunderstorm activity possible at any time through tonight,
but the best threat appears to be after 1000 PM EDT.

Discussion: A front in the area will keep a threat for thunderstorm
activity through tonight. Somewhat better upper support may arrive by
the late evening hours, which may serve to enhance thunderstorm
development later tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Outlook: Thunderstorm activity is possible Tuesday into early
Wednesday, and around Thursday night into Friday. Isolated severe
storms are possible on Tuesday, especially south of a Terre Haute to
Greensburg line.

Heat index values may exceed 95 degrees Sunday afternoon.

Discussion: A front lingering over Indiana will cause the potential
for thunderstorm activity through Wednesday. Additional thunderstorm
activity is possible from Thursday night into Friday. Hot
temperatures may spread into the area by the second half of the
weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Severe storm spotter activation is not anticipated through tonight.

Severe storm spotters are encouraged to monitor future weather
statements regarding the severe threat on Tuesday.
