Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
343 PM EDT Thu Aug 9 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 339 PM EDT Thu Aug 9 2018

Thunderstorms can dot the area this evening, gradually weakening
overnight. A soaking rainfall is the main hazard, through a
locally damaging wind gust cannot be ruled out. The chance for
showers and thunderstorms continue into Friday. Temperatures
tonight will fall into the mid 60s; high temperatures on Friday in
the low to mid 80s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 339 PM EDT Thu Aug 9 2018

Thunderstorms have begun to develop ahead of a cold front located
from south-central Wisconsin through northern Michigan. Earlier
this morning, a thunderstorm drifted along the southeast shores of
Lake Michigan. This feature decayed upon moving further inland
and its remnant outflow boundary is believed to be located along
the greater U.S. 30 corridor. This can be the focus for a few
storms this evening as well. Given our temperatures in the 80s and
dew points in the 70s, our surface environment is unstable. CAPE
values are 1500-2000 j/kg. However, wind shear is lacking and so
is upper-level flow. All told, the severe threat remains low.

Any storms this evening are expected to continue to move south and
east into the heart of our county warning area overnight,
weakening with the loss of daytime heating. By early Friday
morning, this front stalls south of U.S. 30 and invites some
uncertainty into the Friday forecast. The uncertainty is in
regards to shower/t-storm activity prior to noon. The front will
be the source of lift, PWATs and dew points will be favorable, but
the missing piece prior to noon is instability. So, I will offer
slight chance POPs in the morning, increasing to chance in the
afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 339 PM EDT Thu Aug 9 2018

Overnight Friday, in response to an upper-level trough digging in
from the Hudson Bay, the aformentioned cold front finally
propagates south and eastward. As this front exits, rain chances
will diminish for a brief time. The exception to this may be
northwest Ohio where the surface low is may be located. This may
keep some slight chance POPs in play. As we head into the weekend,
the upper-level trough becomes cut off from the mean flow aloft.
As such, we will be stuck with an upper-level low swirling over
the eastern Great Lakes. As the previous AFD author indicated,
there is some uncertainty as to how widespread shower/t-storm
chances are this weekend. The upper-level low bodes well in the
forcing department, but 12Z GFS PWATs indicate a negative PWAT
anomaly over our area this weekend. Our position on the northwest
side of the low will limit our moisture stream. Thunder will
likely be limited. Bottom line for the weekend: there is a small
chance for showers, but the weekend does not look to be a wash-
out.

Monday night and into Tuesday, the upper-level low finally gets
kicked out of the eastern Great Lakes as a potent trough sweeps
across Ontario. As such, Tuesday looks to be our transition day
between storm systems. By Wednesday, a second trough lifts out of
the Central Plains and can bring wet weather back to the forecast
as early as Wednesday morning. Depending on how this feature
phases (or fails to phase) with the Ontario trough, we could see a
soaking rain event perhaps lingering into Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 100 PM EDT Thu Aug 9 2018

VFR with wsw winds near 10 knots will remain the story this
afternoon. A subtle sfc trough and upper wave will swing in from
the northwest late this afternoon into tonight with chances for
scattered showers/storms across northern IN. Best chances look to
be in the 22-03z window at KSBN and 01-05z at KFWA.
Coverage/intensity remains uncertain given weakly forced
environment. Have thus opted for a VFR/VCTS mention as a result.
Some lower clouds/BR may fill in later tonight into Friday
morning, best chances at KFWA.
