Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
939 AM EDT Thu Jun 29 2023

.Mesoscale Update...
Issued at 856 AM EDT Thu Jun 29 2023

The severe threat for the morning has come to an end across central
Indiana with the strongest cell currently across Pike county.  The
main concern now through the rest of the morning hours will be
flooding, especially from Terre Haute to Vincennes where a backward
propagating complex of storms has attached itself to the LLJ. Models
are not handling the propagation with corfidi upshear vectors in
excess of 35kts.

This backbuilding is being driven more by the southwesterly to
westerly flow from 850mb to 500mb which is advecting the moisture
while the storm motion is more southerly as it tries to feed off the
remaining elevated instability across the area.  Flooding concerns
will increase through the rest of the morning until the atmospheric
profile to the east becomes more favorable for thunderstorms which
should allow the ongoing storms to have a more eastward component
and end training.  Flash flood warnings may be needed in the next
hour or two based on current rain rates of over an inch and hour in
spots.

&&

.Forecast Update...
Issued at 939 AM EDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Details on the ongoing flooding concerns are addressed in the
mesoscale discussion above.

Ongoing precipitation is expected to continue through the morning
hours before focus then shifts to the severe threat this afternoon
and evening across southwestern Indiana. The morning model runs have
generally had a decent handle on the ongoing convection other than
the southward advection being more pronounced. Lingering cloud cover
will persist across the southwestern counties with at least brief
clearing in points to the northeast ahead of an expected MCS. The
severity of the MCS remains the biggest question with the expected
track going through areas that will remain convectively overturned
and additional convection is developing across central Indiana at
the time of writing.

With all that in mind, leaning more towards the NAM/ARW solutions
that don't create the discrete MCS with damaging winds due to the
lack of surface instability with only 300-500 J/kg across all but
the furthest SW counties.  Any surface based damaging winds look
more likely over southern Illinois with an partially elevated and
marginally severe complex that moves over Indiana mid afternoon
through the early evening.  Will continue to monitor the surface
conditions for any potential areas of better instability, but for
now think that the threat may not be quite as high as it initially
looked to be.

&&

.Short Term...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 257 AM EDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Current observations across central Indiana continue to show reduced
visibilities around 2-4 miles due to wildfire smoke. Some
improvements have been noted across far southern portions of the
area where visibilities are up to 4-6 miles. Visibilities should
continue to improve toward sunrise and later today as increasing
southerly flow pushes the smoke further north.

A complicated active weather pattern is expected through the period.
Models show impressive low level theta-e advection occurring by
daybreak which should result in strong elevated instability. This
along with isentropic ascent and a LLJ will lead to a large complex
of storms developing across IL. Confidence is low on exactly where
this complex of storms will initiate as CAMs show a wide range of
solutions. Latest HREF suggest CI is most likely across central IL
where the strongest forcing is expected. Mean cloud-bearing wind and
the theta-e gradient oriented NW-SE generally suggest southeastward
forward propagation. This would likely keep the most intense
convection and heaviest rainfall amounts across southwest portions
of central Indiana. Areas further north and east may be limited by a
sharp instability gradient which could struggle to move further NE
due to significant convective overturning. Some guidance suggest
strong low-level theta-e advection will be enough to overcome this.

While CAMs show varying potential scenarios in convective evolution,
most suggest multiple rounds of southeastward moving storm clusters
are likely through the period as strong mid-level flow spreads into
the region atop a very warm-moist unstable airmass. Our greatest
concern in this active pattern will be heavy rainfall amounts and
flash flooding from repeated rounds of storms and damaging wind
gusts. Large hail and a couple of tornadoes will also be
possible, mainly across southwest portions of central Indiana.

&&

.Long Term...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 257 AM EDT Thu Jun 29 2023

- Periodic unsettled weather expected this weekend

Friday through Sunday night...

There is high confidence that anti-cyclonic flow overtop a dome of
high pressure, across the Gulf states, combined with a warm, very
humid and unstable airmass will result periodic thunderstorms with
potential for severe weather along with heavy rain and at least
localized flooding this weekend. Nocturnal low level jet and
CAPE/thetae gradient supports nighttime upstream MCS activity that
will track southeast across central Indiana. In addition,
mixed CAPEs to 3000 J/KG or higher at times, PWATs to 2 inches and 0-
6km shear to 40+ knots at times due to a 50+ knot mid level jet,
will bring the risk for severe thunderstorms and heavy rain
producers. All this said, confidence in timing is low. Models and
CAMs are in good agreement that Friday will start off with scattered
to widespread lingering convection from previous night's MCS. Then,
general expect a relative lull before another convective complex
develops upstream and moves across during the night Friday night.
Look for a similar situation Saturday night before the
synoptic pattern changes as a northern Plains trough eventually
moves through central Indiana Sunday night into Monday. Needless to
say, with a wavy front nearby and continued humid and unstable
atmosphere, more storms will roll through each day increasing the
chances of at least localized flooding.

Depending on how widespread and prolonged cloud cover is, southwest
sections could see lower to mid 90s temperatures Friday and Saturday
afternoon to go with upper 60s to lower 70s dew points. That would
translate to 100+ heat indices and potentially heat headlines.

Monday through Wednesday...

Less confidence in thunderstorm chances next week as broad high
pressure over the area along with weak pressure gradient suggests
any activity will be less organized. With that in mind, think there
will be enough sunshine to support very warm temperatures in the
lower 90s over southwestern sections at least.

.Aviation...(12Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 702 AM EDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Impacts:

- IFR to MVFR visibility in smoke and haze through 17Z

- Multiple rounds of thunderstorms expected

- MVFR or worse conditions possible in convection

Discussion:

Wildfire smoke will continue to result in MVFR flying conditions
through mid morning, but should begin to clear out thereafter as
thunderstorms move through. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are
expected through this evening. There is some uncertainty in
convective timing, but used VCTS where confidence is highest for
thunderstorm chances. MVFR or worse conditions will be possible in
any thunderstorm.

Winds will shift to southerly by mid morning and could be gusty at
times, especially in thunderstorms. Gusts will likely remain
sporadic and did not mention in the TAFs as a result.
