Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
945 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

.UPDATE...
The NEAR TERM and AVIATION Sections have been updated below.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 349 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

Cloudy, rainy weather will persist into tonight as low pressure
tracks through Kentucky and Tennessee. It will quickly taper off
after midnight though as the low pushes farther east. Dry
conditions will then prevail through the remainder of the short
term period. The next chance for precipitation will then come
early in the extended period when a slow moving system enters
central Indiana on Wednesday night. Precipitation will generally
be in the form of rain, but some snow could mix in at times into
Thursday morning.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Overnight/...
Issued at 945 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

Rain continues to wrap back in across the eastern half of the
forecast area this evening with a surface wave over eastern
Kentucky. With a persistent northerly flow advecting in to the
region...temperatures generally ranged from the mid 30s to near 40
as of 0230Z.

The overall forecast is in good shape. The mid evening update will
just add some detail and timing as the rain ends over the next few
hours. The surface wave will shift east overnight as the upper low
tracks into the central Appalachians. Drier air will build in as
the night progresses with the back edge of the rain shifting east
and then out of the forecast area after about 06-07Z. The back
edge of the cloud shield was approaching the Wabash Valley this
evening...and expect some clearing to take place west of I-65
overnight. Across the eastern half of the area though...low clouds
will hold tough for much of the night. Lows will fall mainly into the
lower and middle 30s.

Zone and grid updates out.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Tomorrow through Tuesday/...

Issued at 349 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

Partly cloudy skies will linger until midday tomorrow until the
aforementioned low pressure system completely exits the region.
After that though, dry and sunny conditions will be the norm for
the duration of the short term period as a ridge of high pressure
tracks through the central U.S. and Great Lakes Regions. This is a
high confidence forecast. Meanwhile, temperatures through the
period will generally be above normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
Issued at 308 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

Models in good agreement that an upper ridge will move over the area
Tuesday night which should result in dry weather next Tuesday night
and Wednesday. Then, a slow moving system will in from the west and
close off resulting in drawn out precipitation starting Wednesday
night. The precipitation should be mainly rain, but snow could mix
in from time to time during the late night and early morning hours.

Confidence is good in above normal blend temperatures to start off
in warm air advection regime and then more seasonable weather by
Friday.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for 160300Z TAF Update/...
Issued at 945 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

IFR ceilings have snuck back into KBMG with lower ceilings at
1000-1500ft just a short distance east of KIND currently. Sped up
return time of lower ceilings at both terminals over the next
several hours. Confidence ins higher in IFR ceilings at KBMG...but
it will be close at KIND.

00Z discussion follows.

Lower ceilings will impact KBMG and KIND overnight with
improvements coming Sunday as high pressure returns.

Upper low centered over eastern Tennessee this evening will track
into the Appalachians overnight. With low pressure across eastern
Kentucky...much of the steadier rain has shifted into the eastern
half of Indiana and will likely linger through the evening before
shifting away to the east.

Bulk of the lower ceilings are east of the terminals currently but
RH progs and model soundings do favor deeper moisture becoming
trapped beneath a shallow inversion as the evening progresses with
ceiling below 2000ft backing into KBMG and KIND for several hours
from this evening into the overnight. Potential is even there for
brief drops to IFR at both sites. Drier air present further west
will keep ceilings VFR at KHUF and KLAF with slow clearing
developing towards daybreak.

The system will lift away from the area Sunday with high pressure
building in. Expect skies to become mostly sunny by late morning
and early afternoon. Northwest winds will back to westerly through
the day at less than 10kts.
