.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 305 PM EDT Tue Jul 5 2022

Chances for on and off showers and thunderstorms will continue
into at least Friday with some severe weather possible each day.
Warm temperatures will continue into Friday as well with
high in the 80s to 90s in addition to higher humidity.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 305 PM EDT Tue Jul 5 2022

Morning convection continued to dissipate into the midday time frame
helping to point towards the possibility that clouds dissipate into
the afternoon. The remnant convergent boundary that served as a
focus for morning storms will continue to slowly shift southwest.
Should we see some recovery, the ultimate position of that boundary
will be key to sparking evening thunderstorms as they could form
along it and the better instability will reside south of it. As
such, the HRRR brings instability back into the area allowing for
some afternoon recovery and for some storms to form likely along the
morning boundary. Minimal shear will be around to help sustain
storms, but mid level lapse rates surpassing 6.5-7 C/km has been
able to enter into the area behind the morning storms and, should
the storms get tall enough, this would help to at least allow for
hail as a threat from any afternoon thunderstorm cell that forms.
Models also indicate that some DCAPE will be present for storms to
work with, which would make wind damage a threat. However, DCAPE
would become a lesser factor if we aren't able to dry out the column
some. Areas from Kosciusko to Allen, IN county will need to be
watched closely in the short term for heavy rain especially if more
training of storms occur. A moist atmospheric column, as evidenced
by the around 2 inch PWATs and columnar dew points will help make
heavy rain a threat with any thunderstorms that form. Additionally,
we'll need to watch remnant forcing from convection across the
Northern and Central Plains for a late night/early Wednesday arrival
to the area. This would allow for another chance at showers and
thunderstorms with wind and heavy rain as the main threat. It'll
remain a muggy night tonight with 70 degree dew points and
temperatures at or a little warmer than that reading depending on
the coverage of rain/clouds.

Still continuing to see the boundary sag southward on Wednesday with
a chance for showers and thunderstorms south of that boundary,
generally south of US-30. Cooler and less humid conditions will be
possible north of the boundary in Hillsdale county. Again, wind
damage and heavy rain continue to be the main thunderstorms threats
with the moist atmospheric column, potential for training storms
along the boundary all within a microburst type set up without
substantial shear.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 305 PM EDT Tue Jul 5 2022

Continued chances for showers and thunderstorms occur Thursday with
70 degree dew points and highs in the 80s as the boundary nearby on
Wednesday pivots north some.

Models then begin to diverge on Friday about when to bring the front
down into the area and provide cooler temperatures and a relief to
humidity. Could see the relief wait one more day depending on the
orientation of the boundary.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday Evening)
Issued at 649 PM EDT Tue Jul 5 2022

Storms have rapidly developed just east of KSBN and should
continue ESE away from the airport. Satellite showing bands of
agitated cu south of these storms but so far development has been
suppressed. Increasing low level flow and approaching wave should
spark of expanding convection across the area, more limited for
the first few hours and then expanding more with time after 3 or
4Z. Monitoring upstream convection across IL, WI and IA that will
pose a threat for more impacts to both sites overnight, but how
these storms will evolve is a bit more unclear right now. TAFs
have been hit a bit more aggressive at both sites with amendments
likely over the next several hours. Flight conditions will likely
deteriorate once convection gets going, but for now have left
conservative.
