Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
318 AM EDT Tue Aug 6 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- The first round of storms arrive near and north of the Michigan
border early today.

- Additional storms with torrential and strong gusty winds should
develop late this afternoon over northern Indiana and northwest
Ohio.

- Cooler, dry and less humid Wednesday through Monday with highs
  75 to around 80.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 313 AM EDT Tue Aug 6 2024

The first of two rounds of storms will arrive early today and mainly
impact areas near and north of the Michigan border. The storms were
associated with an upper level disturbance that topped the upstream
ridge this weekend and were moving southeast across the Upper
Midwest and Midwest. At this time, it appears heavy rain and strong
gusty winds will prevail; however, overall believe these storms
should remain below severe levels. There should be at least somewhat
of a break in convection before more storms develop south of the
front in the very unstable airmass by mid afternoon. The latest HRRR
favors storm development in the 19Z to 01Z window (3pm to 9pm EDT).
These storms are likely to have torrential rainfall as precipitable
water values hover near 2.25 inches. Strong gusty winds may
accompany the storms, but the latest high res/CAMs seem to favor
storms remaining below severe levels. Otherwise, cooler and
drier conditions will prevail after the rain ends tonight all
of the way into early next week. Highs through the period will
be in the 70s to around 80.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 117 AM EDT Tue Aug 6 2024

General VFR conditions into aftn although some near term MVFR in
light fog likely where skies clear for a time early this morning.
Otherwise a few storms possible this aftn for a time invof KFWA as
composite outflow/weak cold frontal zone shift south across the
terminals. Rapid dampening of shortwave disturbance aloft and
presence of capping inversion aloft pose considerable uncertainty to
potential for storms and held with vcts mention there.

Thereafter stout post frontal nerly flow develops this evening with
likely IFR cigs in moist post frontal flow.
