Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
131 PM EDT Sun Jul 6 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Scattered showers and storms this afternoon into early this
  evening will be capable of localized flooding and gusty winds.

- There is a risk for dangerous currents and breaking waves on
  Lake Michigan beaches along the coasts of Berrien and La
  Porte counties late this afternoon into Monday.

- Trending mainly dry and less humid into Monday and Tuesday.

- Shower and storm potential returns mid-late week, best chances
  (30- 50%) during the afternoon hours.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 131 PM EDT Sun Jul 6 2025

Shower and thunderstorm coverage will increase through the mid-
late afternoon hours along a cold front and leading pre-frontal
trough. Cells will generally be rather pulsy given a muted wind
field resulting in only ~20 knots of effective bulk shear.
Skinny MLCAPE near ~1500 j/kg, and a moist column (precipitable
water values near 2"), may still be enough to encourage
isolated, marginally severe, wind gusts within any deeper
updrafts and/or cell mergers/segments. Torrential downpours and
localized flooding likely the greater threat however given slow
movement, a deep/moist warm cloud layer, and the potential for
backbuilding per small MBE vectors.

Tonight will feature a decline in coverage and intensity of
convection as the the primary front slowly sags southeast through
the area and begins to wash out, though did retain lower end PoPs
through the night given the lingering moisture and modest
instability in the vicinity of the front.

A trend toward less humid and mainly dry conditions Monday afternoon
into Tuesday as we see brief influence from sfc high pressure
skating by to the north. Where exactly the instability axis lays out
by peak Monday remains somewhat uncertain, thus have retained low-
mid chances for widely scattered convection south of the US 24
corridor per a model consensus.

A typical, quasi-zonal flow, pattern will bring daily shower/storm
chances back into the fold mid week through the upcoming weekend,
best chances in the afternoon as several convectively-augmented
waves track through and interact with a frontal boundary oscillating
between the lower Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Confidence is low
regarding daily PoPs in this regime given the reliance on difficult
to predict smaller scale perturbations. Temperatures should average
out near to slightly above normal otherwise during this time.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 125 PM EDT Sun Jul 6 2025

Showers and thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon at SBN,
but will take some time to get to FWA, likely closer to 22z as
the cold front swings through. A more substantial area of CAA
moves in after 00z and combined with the residual moisture, it
allows flight conditions to drop into MVFR and with IFR likely
after midnight at SBN. We'll also have a chance to drop into
LIFR after 6z at SBN. It'll take longer to get to FWA with more
of an 8z arrival time of MVFR conditions. It may then take a few
hours to finally dip into IFR. Expect moderation between mid
and late morning on Monday. Gusty southwest winds to 20 to 25
kts this afternoon relax and veer overnight to more northerly on
Monday and stay at or less than 10 kts then.
