Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
631 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2019

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 333 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2019

Upper waves combined with a couple of meandering fronts will keep
chances for showers and thunderstorms across central Indiana into
next weekend. The wet pattern will keep temperatures near normal to
below normal through the period.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(Rest of This Afternoon and Tonight)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2019

This afternoon a cold front was across northern Indiana, but a
boundary with a temperature gradient was across southern Indiana.
Temperatures south of the boundary were in the mid and upper 80s,
with upper 70s to around 80 north of this boundary. Scattered
thunderstorms were across southern sections of central Indiana.

Some upper energy will interact with the boundary and the
approaching cold front from the north to produce scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms this afternoon into the evening.
Expect the greatest coverage to be in the south closer to the better
instability. Will go likely PoPs there with chance PoPs elsewhere.

Given the good instability south with the presence of a boundary,
strong to severe storms are possible mainly south into the evening.

Overnight the upper wave will exit to the east, diminishing the
forcing across the area. Will allow PoPs to drop back to slight
chance category all areas by 12Z with this lull in forcing.

Precipitable water values remain over 1.5 inches across the southern
half of the area, so locally heavy rain and flooding remain a
threat. However, given the expected coverage and duration of the
thunderstorms tonight, feel that the threat won't be widespread
enough for a flood watch. Will continue to highlight in the
Hazardous Weather Outlook and social media products.

Trended toward a model blend for lows tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 333 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2019

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

The short term will continue the pattern of upper waves interacting
with surface boundaries to produce showers and thunderstorms at
times.

Monday morning should see lower coverage of rain, but as another
upper wave moves into the area more numerous showers and storms will
develop in the afternoon and then continue into the evening. Again
the highest coverage should be across the south closer to the better
instability.

Only scattered coverage of convection is then expected across the
area Monday night into Tuesday night with no strong upper waves to
interact with the boundary.

A stronger wave will move in for Wednesday though, bringing
widespread showers and storms during the afternoon. Will go with
high PoPs then.

Locally heavy rain and flooding will remain a threat throughout the
short term given the moisture laden airmass. Another flood watch may
be needed in the future when better confidence in timing and
coverage of storms is present.

&&

.LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Sunday/...
Issued at 324 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2019

The active pattern again looks to continue well into the long term
portion of the forecast, which could begin to cause serious problems
water wise given the widespread 2 to 5 inches already experienced
across central Indiana. This threat will continue to merit close
scrutiny as the week wears on.

There may be a bit of a break in the action late Thursday night into
early Friday, but unfortunately at this point that is the only time
without a chance for showers and thunderstorms.

Temperatures during the period will climb back closer to normal as
ridging begins to build to the east and widespread southwest flow is
in place across the area.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for the 170000Z TAFS/...
Issued at 630 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2019

Mid level vorticity center currently moving through Illinois
interacting with a very unstable air mass will result in a threat
for convection in the vicinity of mainly KBMG, KHUF, and KIND,
through about 170500Z. IFR visibility restrictions and gusty
shifting winds in and near heavier cells.

Otherwise, residual moisture and low level convergence along a
weak front may result in the development of some fog and IFR ceilings
by the early morning hours of Monday. Potential for this looks
better tonight than it did last night, as it appears there is less
chance of convective redevelopment late tonight.

Outside of convective areas, surface winds generally 6 kts or less
tonight.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
