Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
451 PM EDT Sun May 19 2019

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 310 PM EDT Sun May 19 2019

A cold front will move through central Indiana tonight.
Thunderstorms are possible along and ahead of the front. Much cooler
weather moves in for the start of the work week. A front will
meander across the area mid to late week, bringing chances for rain
at times mid-week into next weekend. Temperatures will rebound to
above normal mid-week and then remain there.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(Rest of This Afternoon and Tonight)
Issued at 310 PM EDT Sun May 19 2019

Early this afternoon a dry slot was moving into central Indiana,
ending the widespread rainfall. However, a line of storms had
developed in central Illinois ahead of a cold front.

The line of storms will move across central Indiana during the rest
of the afternoon and into the early evening hours before 00Z. Will
handle with a pre-first period in the text products to cover this.
Severe storms remain possible with building instability and some
decent shear, but at the moment am not expecting widespread severe
weather.

HRRR and some other models indicate still some shower or
thunderstorm potential with the front itself as it moves across the
area after 00Z. Will have some low PoPs this evening.

Colder air will move in overnight, and some stratocumulus will
accompany it. Will keep skies partly cloudy.

The model blend looks reasonable for temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 310 PM EDT Sun May 19 2019

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

The colder air and stratocumulus will stick around on Monday,
keeping skies partly cloudy and high temperatures only in the 60s
most areas.

Dry and cool conditions will continue into Tuesday with some upper
ridging briefly working into the area.

A large upper system across the western part of the country will
send some energy just to the northwest of the area Tuesday night
into Wednesday. This will also bring a warm front through the area.
Forcing isn't that impressive with the strongest forcing remaining
out of central Indiana. Will go with mainly chance category PoPs.

The warm front will allow temperatures to return into the 80s for
highs on Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /Wednesday night through Thursday/...

Issued at 312 PM EDT Sun May 19 2019

Accepted the initialization. An upper level high will sit over
the deep south for much of long term range. Models are showing a
couple of short waves that may affect the area during that time so
there are a couple chances for rain. The best chance looks to be
Memorial Day weekend as models are in agreement that there will be
precipitation but exact timing and location are still to be seen.

Temperatures will be above normal as highs are anticipated to be
in the 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for the 19/21Z TAF Update/...

Issued at 446 PM EDT Sun May 19 2019

Update...
Narrowed VCTS into the Sun 22Z to Mon 01Z time frame for now...
will amend further with more detailed timing over the next few
hours.

Previous Discussion...
Generally VFR conditions expected through the period, with some MVFR
or worse conditions mainly in convection this afternoon into early
evening. Gusty winds will continue this afternoon.

Main area of rain will continue to move out of the sites early in
the period. Scattered convection will then move in ahead of an
approaching cold front.

There are some patches of MVFR clouds across Illinois that will move
into the area and may cause brief periods of MVFR ceilings even
outside of convection this afternoon.

Overnight will be dry with a stratocumulus deck moving in from the
north. For now kept this VFR but MVFR not out of the question.
