Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
411 AM EDT Wed Sep 26 2018

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 255 AM EDT Wed Sep 26 2018

An exiting cold front could bring a few lingering showers to central
Indiana this morning. A couple of additional fronts could bring some
rain to parts of the area Saturday night and again Monday night into
Tuesday. Otherwise high pressure will provide dry conditions.
Temperatures will be below normal into the weekend, with above
normal temperatures returning for early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(Today)
Issued at 255 AM EDT Wed Sep 26 2018

A cold front was moving into central Indiana early this morning.
Scattered showers were across the eastern half of the area, with
another area of showers and isolated thunderstorms across central
Illinois and Missouri.

The area of showers across Illinois at the moment will be
weakening and pushing across portions of central Indiana at 12Z.
Some lingering frontogenetical forcing could also produce some light
showers. Thus will go with some slight chance PoPs many areas at
12Z.

These will quickly fade out those as forcing shifts east of the area
and drier air works in. Will go dry all areas by 14Z.

As the drier air moves in, clouds will decrease for much of the day.
Some high clouds may return before 00Z.

With some sunshine expected today, went at or above the model blend
for high temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 255 AM EDT Wed Sep 26 2018

Models are close enough that the model blend initialization
was accepted for most items.

High pressure will keep the area dry tonight into Thursday night. An
upper trough and a surface wave riding along the old cold front to
the south will bring some clouds to the area tonight into Thursday.
At the moment it looks like Thursday night will be mostly clear.

On Friday into Friday night another cold front will move in from the
north. This front won't have much moisture to work with, but can't
rule out an isolated shower with it. However, at the moment feel
that odds of any showers are too low to mention. Will just go with
an increase in clouds.

Temperatures will be below normal through the period.

&&

.LONG TERM /Saturday through Tuesday Night/...

Issued at 323 AM EDT Wed Sep 26 2018

Most of the first half of the extended period will be dry with
high pressure over the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and northeast
U.S. regions. However, the only caveat will be low rain chances
across the northern counties on Saturday afternoon as forcing
strengthens with a 130 kt upper level jet projecting into the
Upper Midwest.

As far as the second half of the extended period, the dry
conditions will continue through Monday morning. But, moisture
will start increasing from the south by Monday afternoon as a
warm front moves in from the southwest. This warm surge will bump
high temperatures into the upper 70s/low 80s for Monday and
Tuesday after below normal temperatures on Saturday and Sunday.
This warm and humid environment will also be favorable for some
embedded thunder on Monday and Tuesday. After the warm front
pushes farther north on Tuesday night, the thunderstorm threat
will end though with just some residual rain showers.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for the 26/09Z TAF Update/...

Issued at 409 AM EDT Wed Sep 26 2018

Update...
Conditions have improved to VFR levels for now, also shifted winds
from 270 degrees to 300 degrees at KIND.

Previous Discussion...
Restrictions will continue at times tonight with improvements
expected Wednesday morning as drier air builds in.

Convection will continue to impact the terminals over the next 4 to
6 hours ahead of a cold front moving into the region from the
northwest. Will continue to handle the convection via a VCTS mention
considering the scattered coverage but any shower or storm that
moves across a terminal will produce restrictions...potentially IFR
or lower for a brief period. While ceilings have largely been VFR
this evening...model soundings show they should slip back to MVFR
and possibly IFR overnight along and ahead of the front which will
pass the terminals between 08 and 12Z.

Much drier air will build into the region once the front passes as
winds flip around to northwest. Expect rapid clearing Wednesday
morning with just scattered VFR clouds the rest of the day Winds
should remain around 10kts the first half of the day before dropping
back during the afternoon as the high builds in. Could see some
periodic gusts in the morning as well.
