Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 2:30 PM EST, 0 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 230 PM EST SUN JUL 1 2001 IMMEDIATE PROBLEM IS GETTING RID OF TSRA. ACTUALLY...THIS SHOULD BE REASONABLY SIMPLE. LINE OVER CWA IS MARCHING SOUTH IN GOOD CORRESPONDENCE WITH FRONT ALL MODELS ARE TAKING SOUTH. PCPN SHOULD BE OVER OR NEARLY SO BY 00Z. WILL HAVE TO USE A LITTLE FINESSE WITH AN EVENING PERIOD SO NOBODY HAS A THUNDERSTORM WHEN HIS FORECAST SAYS...CLEAR. THIS SHOULD NOT BE BIG DEAL. EXACT ZONE ALIGNMENT SUBJECT TO LAST MINUTE CHANGES DEPENDING ON WHERE PCPN IS. OTRW...QUESTION IS HOW LOW CAN WE GO TONIGHT. EXTRAPOLATION WOULD BRING BOTH TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS SUGGESTING MINS WELL INTO 40S TONIGHT. ETA AND AVN SIMILAR IN REALLY DRYING AIR OVER REGION TONIGHT. HOWEVER NIGHT WILL BE SHORT...GROUND OVER BETTER PART OF CWA JUST GOT WET...AND MAV AND FWC BOTH INDICATE SFC HIGH WILL NOT BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO REALLY KILL WINDS TONIGHT. THIS IS A LONG WAY OF SAYING I WONT ALTER GUIDANCE MUCH. OTRW...MODELS ALL HAVE A MORE OR LESS CLASSIC HIGH COMES IN...THEN RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS...THEN NEW FRONT APPROACHES SITUATION. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS REASONAB"LY WELL...AND NOTHING I LOOKED AT INDICATED BIG CHANGES FROM MOS IN ORDER. IND...NONE. KWIATKOWSKI
