Area Forecast Discussion

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 322 PM EDT Wed May 2 2018

A wet period is just ahead with periodic chances for showers and
storms from tonight through Friday, with storms ending early
Friday evening. A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible,
but widespread severe weather is not expected. Highs will be in
the 70s Thursday through Saturday, then a little cooler Sunday
with highs from 65 to around 70. Little if any rain is expected
this weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 317 PM EDT Wed May 2 2018

Moisture has really increased from the south this afternoon with
dew points climbing to around 60 degrees most areas. Any fire
weather issues will end tonight with a widespread rain. Given
moisture increasing from the south with steeper mid level lapse
rates, surface based CAPEs per SPC analysis had climbed to around
1500 J/Kg over the southern sections of northern Indiana this
afternoon. A stray shower or storm is possible over these area;
however, better chances for showers & storms will be tonight as
upstream convection organizes and moves east along a strong but
slowly moving front. Severe weather parameters appear marginal
tonight through Friday. The Storm Prediction Center has maintained
a marginal risk for severe storms into Friday in this regard.
There may be a break in the showers and storms Thursday before the
second wave moves across the area late Thursday into Friday.
Precipitable water values will rise above 1.5 inches per GFS and
be close to climate maxes for this time of year through Thursday
night. Widespread rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches are
likely by late Friday. Locally heavy rainfall and rises on rivers
are likely with some rivers possibly flooding.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Wednesday)
Issued at 317 PM EDT Wed May 2 2018

A tranquil period is ahead for the weekend into early next week.
There is a good chance a weak system will bring some showers
Sunday, but the rest of the period from Saturday through next
Wednesday should be dry with temperatures close to normal.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon)
Issued at 123 PM EDT Wed May 2 2018

VFR at the onset of the forecast period with gusty southwest
winds. Several chances of rain and thunderstorms during the period
starting at 00z tonight through the end of the period. Conditions
at times will drop to MVFR. Still some disagreement in storm
timing but the potential is there for some thunderstorms to move
over both TAF sites towards the end of the 18z TAF period. Kept
out due to uncertainty.
