The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jan 12, 12:10 AM EST, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 12, 12:10 AM EST, 2 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1210 AM EST Fri Jan 12 2024 .Key Messages... - Heavy rainfall Friday with totals of 1.00-2.00 inches, isolated higher amounts possible. - High Wind Watch in effect Friday into Saturday. Gusts between 50-60 mph. - Light snowfall accumulations Friday night...blowing snow possible - Very cold Saturday Night-Tuesday Night with sub-zero wind chills && .Short Term...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 251 PM EST Thu Jan 11 2024 The primary forecast concern through the short term is a powerful low pressure system expected to develop today into Friday. This system has the potential to bring heavy rain, strong winds, some snow and very cold temperatures to central Indiana. SYNOPTIC SETUP AND EVOLUTION Currently across North America, the 250mb polar jet stretches zonally from central California to the mid-Atlantic states. A few short waves exist within the broader flow; one having passed by quickly last night with gusty winds. Another is making its way onshore in northern California and will be the feature of interest going forward. As the western shortwave rapidly advances eastward on the back of a 100-150 knot 250mb jet, it will gradually gain a negative tilt, and subsequently trigger cyclogenesis in the lee of the Rockies over the Texas Panhandle. This low then moves east-northeastward, quickly strengthening as it does. By Friday morning, the low will be on our doorstep across southern Missouri. The system reaches peak intensity over northern Indiana or southern Michigan before the occlusion process begins.e is lower, but still good, regarding potential impacts including strong winds, heavy rain, and snow/cold...the details of which will be discussed below. WEATHER HAZARDS AND IMPACTS A very cold continental polar air mass resides across the northern Plains, and should move southeast on the back side of the departing low. Cold air advection will be strong after the system's cold front passes through with temperatures dropping rapidly into the 20s. Very cold conditions are expected this weekend and into next week, which will be discussed in the long term section below. FORECAST CONFIDENCE Guidance is in good agreement regarding the evolution described above, and minor variation exists regarding system strength and track. Variation that remains, however, is mainly confined to details in the mesoscale. These features, while smaller in scale, may be important in determining significant weather impacts across the area. As such, exact wind gusts and precipitation amounts remain subject to change. NAEFS/ECMWF Situational Awareness Tables show anomalous parameters across the board, exceeding the 99th percentile or even maxed out. What this means is that there is high agreement within ensemble guidance that a highly anomalous event is likely to occur. For instance, sea-level pressure is at a minimum for the climatological percentile indicating that record low pressure is possible. And indeed, should pressures fall below 982mb (a record that was set at Indy earlier this week), a new record low pressure would be achieved. The majority of guidance deepens the system into the 970 to 980mb range. As such, forecast confidence is high regarding an anomalously strong low pressure system developing and then moving across Indiana during the day Friday. Confidence is lower, but still good, regarding potential impacts including strong winds, heavy rain, and snow/cold...the details of which will be discussed below. WEATHER HAZARDS AND IMPACTS Given the strength of the approaching system, potential impacts could be high and widespread. As of right now, wind appears to be the primary threat with this system. Despite an anomalously strong 850mb low-level jet (over 80kt),Rain is now being observed over SW central Indiana, and is quickly expanding north. Wet bulb temperatures currently support rain all the way up to the southern portions of the I-70 corridor, whereas locations further north have a much more ideal wet bulb temperature for snow fall, currently reading at 35/29 T/DP. This will likely lead to a quick transition to mostly snow fall along a line from Crawfordsville to Frankfort and locations to the north and west. Further east (including Anderson, Muncie and Winchester), wet bulb temperatures also support a transition to snow, but a more SE wind direction could lead to slightly less frontogenetical forcing for weaker QPF rates, a slower onset of precipitation and therefor a delayed snowfall transition in comparison to the region described in the previous paragraph. For this reason, snow totals are likely to be less in this area. Given some ambiguity, the eastern portion of the Advisory will be kept for the time being, but confidence in greater than 2 inches of snow in this area has waned. boundary layer stability may inhibit these stronger winds from reaching the surface. However, as the system's cold front swings through...lapse rates steepen and strong winds aloft begin making it to the surface. Additionally, the MSLP gradient is likely to be quite strong by this point (Friday afternoon into the evening). Per DESI, moderate to high potential for 50mph wind gusts exists for the majority of our CWA (70 to 90 percent). Lower probability exists for High Wind Warning criteria (58mph), which is mainly concentrated north and west of Indianapolis. Still, probability of achieving 58mph reaches 50 percent Friday afternoon. We have issued a High Wind Watch to cover the potential for strong wind gusts up to 60mph. The axis of strongest winds will likely be closer to the low center...and some counties may be changed to a wind advisory or to a high wind warning, depending on the eventual low track. Secondly, heavy rainfall with minor flooding / ponding of water and river flooding is possible. Rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches will be common, with potential for pockets of 2 to 3 inches. These higher amounts depend on embedded convective elements with higher rainfall rates. Various CAMs depict elevated CAPE (up to 500 J/Kg) rooted around 850mb, and this could lead to a few heavier showers/thunderstorms. Thirdly, snowfall and cold temperatures. Given our position in the system's warm sector...this is anticipated to be less of a concern. That being said, impacts from snow and ice are certainly possible. The strong cold air advection behind the sharp cold front will rapidly change precipitation to snow on the back side of the low. Amounts should be low, since the system will be moving quickly and wrap-around snow showers will be light. A coating to an inch or two is possible, with the greatest amounts more likely the further north one goes. Best chance of snowfall accumulations are generally north of I-70. As mentioned before, temperatures post-front fall quickly into the 20s and possibly into the upper teens by Saturday morning. Wind chills into the single digits are possible Friday night through Saturday. Residual water/puddles may become patches of black ice overnight Friday. Should power outages occur during the strongest winds, these cold temperatures could become quite dangerous. && .Long Term...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 251 PM EST Thu Jan 11 2024 Saturday and Saturday night... The exiting system will still have an influence on central Indiana on Saturday. The pressure gradient along with strong winds aloft will keep the morning windy, with potential for gusts over 50 mph continuing into the morning, especially northeast. Thus, the High Wind Watch continues until 18Z Saturday. As details become clearer, refinements will occur in the Watch and subsequent products. Cyclonic flow will keep the threat for some snow showers around on Saturday, especially Saturday morning. Will keep some chance PoPs around. Temperatures will remain below freezing, with highs in the 20s. Another shot of Arctic air will move in Saturday night, and this could squeeze out a little light snow out of any moisture that remains. Will keep some slight chance PoPs, mainly Saturday evening. The cold air will bring temperatures down into the single digits above zero for low temperatures. Wind chills will fall into the 10 to 15 degree below zero range. Sunday through Tuesday... This will be a period of very cold temperatures as Arctic high pressure remains in control at the surface. A system moving across the southern USA may have enough forcing aloft to bring some fluffy snow to mainly southern portions of the area around Sunday evening. Uncertainty is higher than average due to the strong high pressure's influence on the area. Will continue with some chance PoPs. Another upper disturbance could bring more light snow around Monday night into Tuesday morning. Questions remain about moisture availability and the continuing influence of the surface high. Highs will be in the single digits above zero to the teens, with lows from around zero into the positive single digits. Temperatures will be influenced by cloud cover timing and any snow that does fall, so these numbers may change. Wind chills will be below zero, with readings down to around -15 at times for portions of the area. Wednesday and beyond... Some moderation in temperatures may occur Wednesday and Thursday with highs returning to the 20s to around 30, but confidence is lower than average as models disagree on timing of the next Arctic blast. They do agree though that another blast will arrive by next weekend. The arrival of the colder air will bring another chance for light snow. For now will put that in on Thursday, but this will change as the timing of the arrival of the colder air changes. && .Aviation...(06Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 1209 AM EST Fri Jan 12 2024 Impacts: - IFR Conditions overnight deteriorating to MVFR and IFR by late this morning. - Strong low-level wind shear developing near daybreak and continuing into Friday afternoon. - Widespread IFR restrictions developing for Friday in rain. - Gusty winds for Friday with peak gusts at 30-40kts - Period of intense wind gusts likely for Friday evening with gusts in excess of 45kts Discussion: A deepening area of low pressure will push toward Central Indiana overnight. The low will pass across the state on Friday afternoon, before exiting to the northeast on Friday night and early Saturday. Expect mid clouds to remain across the TAF sites much of the overnight as the low approaches and clouds continue to stream in to the area on SW flow aloft. HRRR shows an initial precipitation shield arriving near 10Z-12Z, before an more substantial shield arrives around 17Z. Thus have used periods of prevailing rain in the tafs through the day, with the heavier rain coming during the afternoon. All through this time, the deepening low pressure system will allow a strong 850mb LLJ near 50 knts across Indiana and even higher values found across KY. This will result in gusty surface winds along with the presence of LLWS mainly due to speed. On Friday night the low will depart northeast and a cold front will push across the TAF sites. The deepening low will continue to result in a very strong pressure gradient as cold air advection begins on Friday night. Again this will result in very gusty winds. Wrap around snow showers will be be possible, however it appears uncertain how organized these showers may be. Thus have included a blowing snow mention and VCSH mention on Friday night perhaps limiting visibilities. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
