Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
240 AM EDT Fri Mar 26 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 240 AM EDT Fri Mar 26 2021

A strong low pressure system lifting through the area early this
morning will rapidly lift out into western Ontario by daybreak
as gusty winds and rain diminish.

Another storm system will move through the area late Saturday with
more wind, rain, and some thunder.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 240 AM EDT Fri Mar 26 2021

Vigorous disturbance aloft overhead and attendant sfc low over ern
IN will race rapidly newd into wrn Ontario by daybreak. Narrow
channel of enhanced isallobaric forced gradient wind will follow
just south of sfc cyclone track and clip far sern zones. Prior high
wind warning delineation close and will leave as is although may be
cancelled with zone issuance along with ongoing wind advisory given
the rapidity of newd cyclone ejection.

Otherwise gradient relaxes quickly through morning as clouds linger
within post frontal cold advection wedge and prefer slightly cooler
aftn max temps vs prior.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 240 AM EDT Fri Mar 26 2021

Fast/progressive flow aloft across the Conus continues this period
yielding roller coaster temps. Next vigorous nrn stream sw
disturbance ejects through the nrn lakes Sat night. Swwd trailing
cold front may spark thunder Sat evening over wrn zones in zone of
marginally sufficient low level theta-e return although focus with
time shifts down through the wrn TN valley. Showers elsewhere will
end by daybreak Sun as brief/shallow post frontal cold advection
pushes through.

Mon-Tue feature dry wx with moderating temps ahead of yet another
yet weaker nrn stream disturbance and associated trailing cold front
slated for late Tue/early Wed. This sys will bring at least sct
showers to the area per limited moisture return and cooler weather
to close out the work week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued at 125 AM EDT Fri Mar 26 2021

Deepening low tracking over/near KFWA through 7/8z will make for
variable flight/wind conditions and chances for convective
showers here. Peak wind gusts still expected in wake of the low at
KFWA around 09z with brief gusts potentially exceeding 40 knots.

Steady moderate rain and IFR conditions are expect to continue at
KSBN through 09/10z on the backside of low pressure. Some higher
end northerly gusts of 30-35 knots will be possible here.

Winds will diminish later this morning at each site with IFR to
low MVFR cigs gradually improving in the afternoon.
