National Weather Service Northern Indiana
650 PM EDT Thu May 27 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 335 PM EDT Thu May 27 2021
Showers and a few thunderstorms will overspread the region tonight.
Showers linger into Friday as a much cooler airmass settles into the
region. Highs on Friday will only reach into the 50s. Dry weather
is then expected for the Memorial Day weekend with temperatures
gradually warming, highs on Monday will primarily be in the 70s.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 335 PM EDT Thu May 27 2021
Warm front extends east-southeast from southern Iowa low through
northern Missouri to southwest Indiana. Leading convection rotating
northeast through northeast Illinois continues to wane, in favor
ahead of quasi-linear convective system segment dropping southeast
through southern Illinois to near KSTL. Progged MLCAPE in this
warm sector 2000-2500 J/kg should maintain primary deep moist
convection south of CWA tonight. Despite strong 0-1km
shear/helicity profiles overnight, an increasingly deep/stable
boundary layer in lowest kilometer over CWA as near surface flow
continues to back/strengthen overnight, limits severe potential
with higher parcel origins. Minor concern for minor wind gusts
far southwest CWA at inflection point/northern terminus of 100
J/kg 0-3km CAPE, roughly 23-04 UTC timeframe. Forced ascent
remainder CWA for a few embedded storms.
Deep upper level low with 60-80 meter/12 hour height falls moves
into southern Upper Great Lakes on Friday. Expect continued showers
in residual moist/cyclonic flow. Continued low chance
thunderstorms southeast half CWA Friday afternoon, though
confidence quite low in sufficient instability in rain cooled
airmass. With increasingly deep cold layer, low clouds/showers,
likely holding temperatures in the middle/upper 50s most of CWA.
&&
.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 335 PM EDT Thu May 27 2021
Core of low level thermal trough /0-3C 925 mb/ over CWA Saturday
night with temperatures into the upper 30s at least northern CWA.
Lack of boundary layer decouple to preclude frost formation however.
Upper low/trough shifts eastward into Lower Great Lakes Saturday
with upstream ridging over Upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes. Dry with
moderating airmass into early next week. Dampening northern stream
wave with low chance pops Tuesday. Better chance Wed/Thu with Plains
cyclogenesis as trailing base of aforementioned trough becomes
rexed.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Evening)
Issued at 650 PM EDT Thu May 27 2021
VFR will slowly give way to IFR by late tonight as rain develops and
boundary layer moistening commences. This will stick around for much
of Friday within deep easterly flow.
