Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
932 PM EDT Mon Aug 29 2022

.Forecast Update...
Issued at 931 PM EDT Mon Aug 29 2022

Surface analysis this evening shows a trough of low pressure
stretching from Lake Michigan across IL to eastern MO. GOES16 shows
many areas of convection ahead of this trough stretching from the
eastern Great Lakes across Indiana  to southern MO and the southern
plains. Water vapor showed a plume of moisture in place across
Central Indiana, ahead of the upper trough in place over the upper
midwest. A warm and humid air mass remained in place across Central
Indiana with dew points lingering near 70. Radar shows scattered
convection across the area. Some storms to the east were remnants
from early daytime heating storms while newer development to the
west was associated with the approaching upper trough.

HRRR continues to suggest that scattered convection along and ahead
of the approaching surface trough will continue to push across
Central Indiana overnight. Forecast soundings overnight remain
rather saturation, with dry air arriving only late in the night from
the northwest in the wake of the passing trough axis. Thus expect
the ongoing scattered showers and storms to continue to make
progress across Central Indiana overnight. SPC mesoanalysis page
suggests some CIN in place across the area and the severe threat
appears to be limited, but heavy rain and frequent lightning will
still be expected with any storms. Thus have used high pops
overnight, particularly in the 10pm - 3am window as best forcing
should pass during that period. As dry air arrives late tonight,
ramping pops lower from NW toward the SE.  Minimal temperature
advection is expected overnight, thus lows around 70 appear on the
mark and only minor adjustments were made for that.

&&

.Short Term...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 250 PM EDT Mon Aug 29 2022

Highlights:

-2 rounds of strong to severe storms, first round this afternoon
north of Indy, second late this evening across central Indiana.

-Damaging winds primary threat, especially towards Lafayette.

This Afternoon and Tonight.

This discussion will mostly be focused on the larger scale pattern
for the storm potential this evening.  For finer scale details, see
Meso-discussion above.

A seasonably strong upper level trough continues to slowly push to
the east across the Upper Great Lakes Region with a 250mb jet
approaching 100kts. This strong jet combined with CAPE values well
over 3500 J/kg have allowed for storms to initiate across northern
Illinois.  This complex will be the first potential for strong to
severe thunderstorms across central Indiana as it pushes to the east
and south.  Further to the south, isolated to scattered showers have
formed north of the Ohio River where a remnant frontal boundary
along an axis of convergent air in the mid levels is creating an
environment favorable for these weak and scattered showers.

Going into later this afternoon expect that the first complex may
skirt the northern counties as the cold pool strengthens and the
complex begins a southern turn. As these storms move south they will
be exiting the area of highest instability and moving into a weakly
sheared environment which will lead to a gradual weakening but will
depend on the strength of the cold pool.  A second round of storms
is then expected to initiate late this evening and move into central
Indiana during the early overnight hours.  Confidence in the
strength and southern extent of the complex remains low with a lot
of uncertainty as to how much time for recovery there will be
across northern Illinois.  Do think that the area near Lafayette
remains where the highest potential for damaging wind gusts will be.

The severe threat will lessen later into the overnight hours as the
loss of heating combined with weaker shear will limit the
maintenance potential for any storm complex.  Do think that periods
of heavy rain and perhaps training of showers and storms may
continue well into the night causing isolated flooding problems.
Rain chances will then come to an end by sunrise as the moisture
transfer becomes cut off by the advancing trough. Can't rule out
some patchy fog towards daybreak with the abundant moisture, but the
lack of clearing and winds around 5-10 mph will limit fog coverage.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow Night.

The aftermath of the system tonight will bring a return to dry and
pleasant conditions across central Indiana.  Surface high pressure
will quickly build in across the area during the afternoon hours
with CAA aloft in the presence of northwesterly flow. Dew points
will crash into the low to mid 50s by mid afternoon which will then
allow for cooler temperatures tomorrow night.

&&

.Long Term...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 250 PM EDT Mon Aug 29 2022

Upper troughing across the northeast with upper ridging out west
will result in predominantly NW flow through the long term period.
At the surface, high pressure is likely to dominate until the
weekend, providing pleasant weather with large scale subsidence
dropping dewpoints into the low 50s. Look for an upper shortwave to
approach the area late week. Precipitation is unlikely with surface
high pressure keeping the low levels dry, but an increase in cloud
cover is expected.

By the weekend, temperatures will warm up as upper ridging builds
across the region. In addition, winds should become more southerly
with the surface high moving east of the area Friday. Increasing
moisture due to southerly flow and daytime heating may lead to a few
pop up showers and storms, but confidence is very low this far out.
Ensemble guidance show an inverted trough across the southeast
moving north closer to southern portions of the CWA around Sunday.
If the trough can make it far enough north then rain chances will
need to be slightly increased. Confidence in this scenario is low at
this time as most ensembles keep it south of central Indiana.

Expect below average temperatures to begin the period. Southerly
flow and a building upper ridge should allow temperatures to climb
into the upper 80s by the weekend.

&&

.Aviation...(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 624 PM EDT Mon Aug 29 2022

Impacts:

* VFR Conditions will be expected for much of the TAF period.
* Storms possible early this evening and again overnight which may
  produce brief MVFR/IFR conditions.
* VFR conditions return on Tuesday.

Discussion:

Ongoing convection near IND and HUF is expected to diminish and
drift farther south near the TAF sites over the next 60-90 minutes
as the convection remains more outflow dominate.

New convection is anticipated late this evening and overnight as the
upper trough axis approaches Central Indiana from the west. HRRR
suggests development after 03Z and is suggested to pass through
about 11Z. Thus have used a prevailing SHRA with temps groups for
thunder as the dynamics are expected to pass.

Forecast soundings show dry air and subsidence arriving in the wake
of the convection as the flow become northwesterly due to high
pressure building across the plains states.
