Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
302 PM EDT Thu May 19 2022

.Short Term...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 302 PM EDT Thu May 19 2022

Highlights...

* Severe weather possible this afternoon into tonight

* Damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes are possible

* Windy and hot on Friday

Severe weather is possible this afternoon into tonight as an MCV
approaches the area. Radar shows that convection has fired up over
Southwest Indiana and is moving NE. These storms will move into far
SW counties over the next hour. A warm front is currently draped
across Central Indiana with the southern half of the CWA in the warm
sector. Moisture advection within the warm sector has increased
dewpoints into the mid and upper 60s. High dewpoints along with
daytime heating have resulted in moderate to strong instability
across southern counties. An upper wave over Illinois along with the
approaching MCV will provide the main forcing for storms with the
warm front providing subtle forcing and enhanced directional shear.
Moderate to high instability, adequate low level wind shear, and
overall forcing may produce strong to severe thunderstorms this
afternoon into tonight. The primary threats are damaging winds and
large hail, but isolated tornadoes are possible. Storms are expected
to weaken overnight as instability decreases with the loss of
daytime heating. Southerly flow and low level moisture will limit
overnight cooling with lows in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees.

Friday and Friday night...

A strong LLJ will help advect warm moist air into the area. Partly
cloudy skies through the day will allow for sunshine and daytime
mixing. With this expected mixing, surface wind gusts could reach 40
mph at times. Model guidance is in good agreement that strong wind
gusts are possible tomorrow, especially over northwestern counties.
A cold front will slowly begin to approach Central Indiana late
Friday night with a low chance for showers and thunderstorms across
mainly NW counties. Confidence is low in any precipitation for
Friday night as guidance continues to trend slower with the
approaching cold front.

Temperatures will reach the middle to upper 80s. Indy's record high
for Friday is 90 degrees, last reached in 1977. Southerly flow and
low level moisture will keep overnight temperatures above average
with lows near 70 degrees.

&&

.Long Term...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 302 PM EDT Thu May 19 2022

* Active weather expected this period.
* Rain chances Saturday afternoon and night
* More Rain chances on Tuesday afternoon through Thursday

Saturday and Saturday Night...

Models show SW flow in place aloft across Indiana ahead of a
broader...deeper trough in place over the northern plains. A surface
frontal boundary will be in place across NW Indiana allowing Central
Indiana to reside within the warm sector for the day. Forecast
soundings show favorable conditions for convection with attainable
convective temperatures and sufficient CAPE. Saturday should not be
a washout...but thunderstorm chances will be increasing as the day
progresses. By Saturday Night...models show the cold front sagging
southward across Central Indiana. Thus will trend toward high pops
on Saturday afternoon and evening as daytime heating initially
starts the storm chances...followed by additional development due to
the arrival and passage of the expected cold front.

Sunday Through Tuesday Morning...

Models show the cold front departing on Sunday morning as subsidence
and drying take place in the wake of the system. Aloft...weak mid
level ridging and strong surface high pressure are noted to be
pushing from the plains...across Indiana to the eastern Great Lakes
and Quebec by Tuesday Morning. Forecast soundings continue to
suggest a dry column through the period with mainly northerly or
northeasterly surface flow. Thus will trend toward a dry forecast
here with below normal high temperatures in the upper 60s and lower
70s.

Tuesday afternoon through Thursday...

Rain chances will return during this period. Models suggest a deep
upper trough pushing out of the Rockies...providing SW flow aloft
over Central Indiana on Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday and
Thursday...this upper trough is expected to push to the southern
plains while continuing to eject weak upper forcing across the Ohio
Valley within the SW flow aloft. Meanwhile a surface frontal
boundary is depicted across Central Indiana and a weak surface low
is suggested to push across the front on Wednesday into Thursday.
Finally during this time...forecast soundings show a saturated
column...mainly on Wednesday and Thursday as the best forcing
passes. Pwats at that time are suggested to be near 1.80. Thus will
have highest pops on those days.

.Aviation...(18Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 205 PM EDT Thu May 19 2022

IMPACTS:
-Thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, particularly at HUF and
BMG as well as IND
-S/SW winds gusting near 20 to 25 kts this evening and overnight.
Increasing some tomorrow morning

DISCUSSION: Largely clear skies to start out the TAF period.
Chances for storms then arrive this afternoon into evening as
storms have already formed over SW Indiana. Expecting these storms
to impact all sites except LAF from late this afternoon into
early overnight. South/ southwesterly winds will also begin to
pick up this afternoon with wind gusts to 25kts after 02Z. LLWS
will also be a concern late tonight to early tomorrow morning.
Wind gusts will increase some into tomorrow morning as well with a
jet overhead.
