Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
249 PM EDT Sat May 14 2022

...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.Short Term...(This evening through Sunday night)
Issued at 125 PM EDT Sat May 14 2022

Flow is weak across the area today, between a dying upper low in the
Southeast and a poleward lifting midlevel low north of the Dakotas.
Latest ACARS sounding has 20-25 knot max flow in the troposphere.
Surface winds are light and non-uniform, with a few corridors of
convergence inferred. The most pronounced is now in western
Indiana with the dying and very weakly baroclinic front tied to
aforementioned lifting wave. This is where convection should
become most concentrated later this afternoon.

Weak shear should result in short-lived single- and multi-cells with
the main hazard being brief strong to potentially damaging wind
gusts. Hail is possible, but storm mode and relatively weak midlevel
lapse rates should preclude a more substantial hail concern.
Convection should tend to propagate southeastward given modest
southerly mean flow convergent on the south side of cold pools.
Storms should propagate southeast of the area and diminish later
this evening.

Please refer to mesoscale updates for more details on convective
evolution through the afternoon and evening.

Meanwhile, upstream Pacific jet will migrate eastward carving out a
more pronounced shortwave trough at the base of the aforementioned
Canadian low. This will offer stronger winds aloft, more shear, and
forcing for ascent for our region tomorrow, leading to another round
of convection. The thermodynamic/kinematic environment will be
supportive of severe storms with damaging winds being the primary
threat. There is still considerable uncertainty on upstream
convective development Sunday afternoon, and MCS potential with a
more organized wind threat into the area by evening. Low-level jet
orientation may support more of a southeastward propagation, that
would result in a path just southwest of the area. Even then, at
least scattered development would be possible further north into our
area, especially along the advancing front. Details on convective
evolution and threats will become more clear tonight and tomorrow.

&&

.Long Term...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 125 PM EDT Sat May 14 2022

Post-frontal continental air mass will be drier and temperatures
will fall to near climo for mid-May early next week. This will
continue within mean northwesterly flow pattern until mid-week when
deamplfying ridging nudges in. Even then, one or more
perturbations in the flow will offer increased chances for showers
and thunderstorms Tuesday night and beyond. At least initially,
we'll be in a warm moist advection pattern with deeper moisture
and anomalous precipitable water values moving into the area and
lingering through the end of the week. Shear and especially
instability looks sufficient for strong to severe thunderstorm
potential, but this will depend on convective evolution. Multiple
rounds of convection are possible during this period. This may
lead to some concern for flooding.

&&

.Aviation...(18Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 229 PM EDT Sat May 14 2022

IMPACTS:

* Thunderstorms with brief strong variable wind gusts will continue
  until early evening.

DISCUSSION:

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will occur over the next few
hours, and diminish by early evening. Small hail and strong wind
gusts along with lightning are the primary impacts. Visibility may
briefly lower during heavy rain. VFR conditions and predominantly
light west/northwest winds are expected through the rest of the TAF
period.
