Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
328 PM EDT Tue Sep 14 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 324 PM EDT Tue Sep 14 2021

Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening. The
primary hazards are damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall. Not as
hot tomorrow, but the heat quickly returns for the remainder of the
week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 324 PM EDT Tue Sep 14 2021

Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of, and
eventually along, a cold front currently working its way through
northeast Illinois. Well out ahead of this, in our unstable
environment, a couple storms have popped off in a area of subtle
convergence and dew point pooling. These isolated storms pose a
locally damaging wind threat due to abundant DCAPE and steep low-
level lapse rates.

Storms are expected to become more numerous over the next few hours
in the western and or central part of our CWA. Discrete storms early
may be disorganized due to only marginal shear at 20 knots. As the
cold front approaches, shear will increase and storms can become
organized into a squall line posing a damaging wind threat. This
squall line will exit our CWA before/near midnight, likely
weakening as it moves east due to the atmosphere becoming more
stable through time and less-favorable mid-level lapse rates
(6.5C/km).

High PWATs lead to a non-zero concern for heavy rainfall, paired
with some parallel flow to the cold front. However, the cold front
is overall expected to keep things moving along.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 324 PM EDT Tue Sep 14 2021

Not too much to speak of in the long term forecast period. Relief
from the cold front is gone by Thursday as high temperatures return
to the 80s, and the upper-air pattern picks up where it seemingly
left off. This means generally dry and hot conditions are expected
through about Tuesday. The blend tried to populate some low POPs in
for the weekend, but drought begets drought around here, and best
forcing looks to be elsewhere. Around Tuesday is when a high-
amplitude trough may move east of the Rockies, with a strong surface
low over Manitoba and a cold front stretching through the central
states. When we are in the warm sector ahead of this cold front,
moisture return from the Gulf will improve such that we could see
pop-up showers and storms. Otherwise, look for widespread rain
chances near midweek as the cold front moves through, bringing a
blast of fall-like temperatures in its wake.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 100 PM EDT Tue Sep 14 2021

Low pressure centered over Lake Superior with cold front trailing
down Lake Michigan and back into northern Illinois will bring
scattered showers/thunderstorms to the area this evening/tonight.
Latest HREF guidance has members lacking in coverage along the
front initially as it moves through KSBN and will therefore cover
with VCTS mention for now. Line then becomes more organized as it
approaches and moves through KFWA...will use SHRA for prevailing
and tempo group for TSRA. Latest NBM guidance still indicating
predominately VFR for ceilings as KFWA less than 30 percent chance
for MVFR. Some indication of MVFR/IFR conditions developing in
post-frontal environment by early Wednesday morning but timing
looks to be southeast of KFWA by then...will continue to monitor
for later issuances. Gusty southwest winds continuing to begin
this TAF cycle then becoming light northwest tonight behind the
front.

IN...Beach Hazards Statement through late tonight for INZ003.

MI...Beach Hazards Statement through late tonight for MIZ077.
