Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 434 PM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Severe thunderstorms are possible again late through early evening, with all severe hazards possible. - A significant temperature drop is expected post frontal passage on Tuesday evening. Potential impacts in the cold sector include scattered snow showers and overnight frost/freeze. - Rain/Snow chances on Thursday - Dry and cool Friday through Sunday Morning - Rain chances return Sunday afternoon through Monday Morning - Dry on Tuesday - Early forecast thoughts on the April 8th eclipse covered in the CLIMATE section at the bottom && .SHORT TERM (This evening through Wednesday)... Issued at 308 PM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 All eyes in the short term period are on severe weather potential this afternoon. On the synoptic scale, a very positively tilted trough axis extends from the Great Lakes southwestward to northwestern Mexico. A secondary shortwave trough is currently diving southward out of Mexico, and is in the beginning stages of phasing with the larger trough. This phasing is inducing rapid cyclogenesis over Missouri and Illinois, and the resulting low pressure system is responsible for today's severe weather potential. Additionally, gusty non-convective winds upwards of 35 to 45 mph are possible this afternoon. We have issued a Wind Advisory through 8pm across our northwestern counties to accommodate this. CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND HAZARDS In the low's buoyant warm sector, storms across southern Illinois are rapidly developing in a surface-based environment. The environment is characterized by strong shear at all levels, steep lapse rates, and abundant low-level moisture. MLCAPE values are between 1000-1500 J/Kg, effective shear is over 50 knots, and hodographs are long and straight. Some curvature in the 0-1km layer exists from the Ohio River southward into Kentucky. At least initially, the primary threat appears to be large hail. This could be mitigated by a shear vector nearly parallel to the initiating boundary...which would encourage line segments and storm clusters, and therefore competition between numerous hail embryos. A tornado threat may gradually evolve, especially as one heads further south and east where the greater low-level curvature exists in the hodographs. Though, given the magnitude of 0-1km shear (20 to 30 knots), it wouldn't take much to induce rotation closer to the surface. Still, there are some inhibiting factors for tornado potential on the Indiana side of the severe threat area. Aside from the greater influence of crosswise vorticity, some low-level stability from earlier convection remains across central Indiana. The potential for strong damaging winds likely also increases with time, as the 850mb low-level jet intensifies. Simply put, there will just be more momentum for downdrafts to transfer to the surface. Per SPC sounding analysis, dry air remains in the mid-levels, so this downward transfer process could be quite efficient. TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY By tonight, the system's cold front will be through and strong cold air advection begins. Temperatures are expected to fall into the 30s by morning. Precip chances increase again towards morning as moisture wraps around the back side of the low while it occludes just north of us. Thermal profiles suggest that snow may mix in at times during the day Wednesday. Accumulations are not currently expected, mainly due to very marginal surface temperatures and insufficient rates to overcome a very warm ground. Some graupel is possible at times as a shallow layer of instability develops in the afternoon. Additionally, a tight MSLP gradient will help induce gusty winds through the day Wednesday (up to 35 mph). && .LONG TERM (Wednesday night through Tuesday)... Issued at 308 PM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 Thursday... Models show a deep, closed upper low expected to be over Ohio on Thursday morning. This is a large system, that will impact weather across the eastern half of the United States. Strong cyclonic flow will be in place across Indiana through the course of the day. An associated surface trough axis will be found stretching across PA to lower MI, poised to push across Central Indiana through the course of the day. Forecast soundings on Thursday, as this cyclonic upper flow remains in place, show saturated mid and lower levels, with much of the column below freezing. Thus a mix of rain and snow or just snow will be possible. Forecast soundings reveal steep lapse rates with attainable convective temperatures, favorable for precip development. With pwats rather low, only around 0.40 inches each day, precip amounts will be light, however confidence for precip will be high given the moisture and forcing signals. Thus a high pop, but low amount of precip, type forecast will be expected. Ongoing cold air advection will be in play on Thursday, resulting in below normal temperatures, with highs only in the 40s. Friday through Sunday Morning... By Friday morning the upper pattern will have become highly amplified. The previous deep upper low will have moved east toward New England, while another deep trough and upper low moves into the western CONUS, over California. This results in a sharp ridge in place aloft over the plains. This feature will provide subsidence to Central Indiana along with cool northwesterly flow. Forecast soundings show a relatively dry column through the weekend as the strong ridge axis slowly passes across the region by late Sunday morning. This will result in partly cloudy and cool temperatures, below seasonal normals. As we progress from Friday to Saturday and Sunday, expect a slow warming of daily high temperatures. This will be due to the gradual eastward progression of the ridge aloft and the associated area of high pressure, slowly shifting east through Sunday and allowing the arrival of warmer southerly winds by Sunday. Thus daily highs around 50 on Friday should rise to around 60 by Sunday. Sunday Afternoon through Monday Afternoon... The previously mentioned west coast upper low is expected to progress toward the plains by Sunday, pushing a warm front into the Ohio Valley on Sunday Night. Southwest flow aloft ahead of the upper low is suggested to provide upper forcing amid a diffluent flow. This will be a favorable pattern and signal for showers and thunderstorms through Monday morning as an associated negatively tilted upper trough axis passes across Central Indiana through Monday. Thus chances for showers and storms will need to be included at that time. A speedier passing of this upper trough would probably result in less cloud cover on Monday afternoon, while a slower passing would result in more cloud cover at that time. For more information/discussion on Monday afternoon cloud coverage see the CLIMATE section. Tuesday... Here the models continue to suggest a continuation of a quick moving spring like pattern across Central Indiana and the Ohio Valley. A quick moving ridge is expected to pass on Tuesday, with forecast soundings showing a dry column and subsidence in place. Thus a dry forecast at that time for now. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 110 PM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 Impacts: - Scattered to numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms through 20Z-22Z - Ceilings mostly MVFR and worse - Southerly winds shifting to westerly this evening. - Wind gusts to 40+ knots possible. Discussion: Radar trends early this afternoon shows scattered to widespread convection found within the warm sector across southern central Indiana. These showers and storms will continue to impact IND/BMG and HUF through the first 3-4 hours of the TAF period. LAF was found north of the warm front and with its easterly flow there, trajectories of current precipitation should keep Thunder away from LAF. HRRR suggests the scattered convection across the area impacting the TAF sites will continue through the mid to late afternoon. Thus have used a large window of VCTS at most TAF sites, along with a tempo group to account for prevailing, stronger storms that may strike a TAF site. Cold front east of St. Louis marching east will mark the end of the thunder event. Cold air advection amid westerly flow is expected to result in trapping stratocu by this evening and continued MVFR Cigs overnight. A moderate pressure gradient in the wake of the front will allow for gusty winds overnight. Wind gusts to near 30 mph will be possible. && .CLIMATE... Issued at 432 PM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 No significant changes regarding our thoughts on the upcoming eclipse day weather. Ensemble guidance continues to be a bit too progressive regarding the synoptic-scale flow over the CONUS. This can be seen in a steady but gradual westward shift with today's system, which is expected to occlude and become a large stacked low over the eastern states. This westward shift has affected the flow upstream, namely by allowing it to become highly amplified in nearly all model depictions. The flow becomes so amplified, in fact, that it takes on the appearance of a classic Omega Block. Global teleconnections such as the NAO and AO are strongly negative, hinting that such a blocking pattern is not unrealistic. What's interesting is that the latest suite of guidance has latched onto the idea of a western trough sliding underneath of a highly amplified ridge axis located over the Great Plains. This evolution would likely send clouds into the path of the eclipse, but determining where and exactly when at this point is difficult. Ensembles are divided into a few groups...some that take the western trough and lift it on a more northerly path. Others take it on a more easterly trajectory. Confidence in either solution is low, mainly because guidance easily struggles in highly amplified blocky patterns. Given that the current system is still trending west, any single solution depicting the upstream trough evolution should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, enough of a signal exists to at least pain a picture of the overall synoptic scale pattern around the time of the eclipse. And this was described above, but to summarize...a deep occluded low hanging near or off the east coast. A highly amplified and increasingly pinched ridge over the Plains. And an amplifying trough digging into the western states, ejecting eastward in some form Sunday into Monday. As we get closer to the eclipse, and guidance comes into greater consensus, we'll be able to downscale the outlook into a representative cloud cover forecast. For now, we will be keeping an eye on subtle trends within the ensembles regarding the synoptic scale pattern. Stay tuned for updates. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
