Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 3:00 PM EDT, 1 hour 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 300 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2019 .UPDATE... The SYNOPSIS, NEAR TERM and SHORT TERM sections have been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 300 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2019 A warm front will lift northeast of the area tonight. Then, a strong upper trough will push a cold front through the area late Monday and Monday night. Unsettled weather will result. After that, high pressure will result in mostly dry weather with above normal temperatures. && .NEAR TERM /Rest of this Afternoon and Tonight/... Issued at 300 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2019 A line of strong to severe thunderstorms was lifting northeast across southwestern parts of central Indiana this afternoon. With a ribbon of 2500-3000 J/KG surface based CAPE along and ahead of the line, expect the line to maintain and possibly intensify. High Resolution Rapid Refresh suggests that additional activity in its wake will move into Ohio 02z-04z. So, high PoPs look good through then. Only slight chance after 04z. With the warm front expected to be north of the area tonight and late day dew points in the lower 70s, good confidence in blend overnight lows in the upper 60s and lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM /Monday through Wednesday/... Issued at 300 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2019 Good confidence in thunderstorms Monday. Then, confidence the area will dry out Tuesday. Finally, low confidence in more thunderstorms Wednesday. Upper Colorado system will take on a negative tilt and lift northeast across the Great Lakes Monday night. This system will push a cold front across the area as well Monday night. Blend high PoPs MOnday afternoon and chance PoPs Monday evening look good. A few of the storms could be strong or possible severe per the Day2 SPC Marginal Risk. After that, high pressure will build in and provide dry weather to the area at least Monday overnight and Tuesday. Would not rule out more convection Tuesday night and Wednesday in cyclonic flow aloft, but confidence is not good. Blend near normal temperatures look reasonable with highs in the lower to middle 80s. && .LONG TERM (Wednesday Night Through Sunday)... Issued at 229 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2019 Models are close enough that the National Blend of Models initialization was accepted for most items. Central Indiana will remain near the edge of an upper ridge to the west and south and an upper trough to the north and east during the long term. The ridge will be strong enough to keep the area dry through Thursday, but the upper trough may dip south enough to bring a front into the area for the weekend. Will keep the initialization's slight chance PoPs at times Friday through Sunday, but with low confidence. Temperatures will be above normal for most of the period thanks to the upper ridge to the west. && .AVIATION (Discussion for the 231800Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 101 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2019 Variable conditions expected in the first several hours of the TAF period, then eventually becoming MVFR by Monday morning. A line of convection will move through the sites this afternoon, with at MVFR or lower conditions and potential for wind gusts over 30kt. Lower confidence in convection after the main line, so will use vicinity wording to cover. Expect mainly VFR into the night at most areas, although KLAF will dip into MVFR and potentially IFR for a while. The remainder should reach MVFR during the daylight morning hours Monday. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...MK NEAR TERM...MK SHORT TERM...MK LONG TERM...50 AVIATION...50
