AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 1230 AM EST FRI JUN 11 2004 .AVIATION... AT 05Z SFC BOUNDARY WAS SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS WITH EASTERLY FLOW AND IFR CIGS AT BOTH SBN AND FWA. SHRTWV OVER IL CAUSING AN AREA OF SHWRS AND TSTMS OVER THE REGION ATTM. SHOWERS SHOULD TAPER OFF TO LIGHT RAIN BY DAYBREAK AT SBN/FWA AND END BY 18Z AS SHRTWV MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. TERMINALS SHOULD REMAIN IN COOL SECTOR TODAY WITH SFC BOUNDARY SOUTH OF THE AREA, SO EXPECT LOW CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO LIFT, BUT HAVE TRENDED UP WITH DAYTIME HEATING IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO MVFR THIS AFTN. && .SHORT TERM... HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE TONIGHT. AN EAST-WEST COLD FRONT ALONG THE MICHIGAN BORDER WILL SINK SLOWLY SOUTH TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...THEN MOVE JUST SOUTH OF THE CWFA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MOISTURE WILL BE PLENTIFUL ALONG THIS FRONT AS LOW LEVEL JET PUMPS HIGH HUMIDITY NORTH INTO THE FRONTAL ZONE OVERNIGHT. ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL CONTRIBUTE AS WELL...PEAKING AROUND MIDNIGHT. A SHORTWAVE TROF WILL REACH THE IL/IN BORDER BY 12Z FRIDAY. THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON OVER MISSOURI AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND WILL BE HEADING NORTHEAST INTO THE IWX CWFA THIS EVENING. ALL THIS ADDS UP TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HERE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. FLOOD GUIDANCE NUMBERS ARE STILL RATHER HIGH MOST PLACES...24 HOUR RAINFALL TOTALS AT 8AM WERE GENERALLY UNDER AN INCH...AND RAINFALL TOTALS SINCE 8AM HAVE ALSO BEEN RELATIVELY LIGHT AS RAINFALL IN ILLINOIS HAS HAD A HARD TIME MAKING EASTWARD PROGRESS /THOUGH THERE WAS A BAND OF SHOWERS IN OUR MICHIGAN COUNTIES THIS MORNING THAT MAY HAVE DROPPED HALF AN INCH OR SO/. HPC IS EXPECTING ONLY ISOLATED FLOOD PROBLEMS. THUS WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING A FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW. HOWEVER...HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY SO THE SITUATION WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF U.S. 30. SHOWER COVERAGE EXPECTED TO LESSEN FRIDAY AS 500MB SHORTWAVE TROF MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND FRONT SINKS SOUTH. COULD BE QUITE A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AS THE NORTHEAST IS IN THE COOL AIR WHILE THE SOUTHWEST CORNER MAY GET INTO A MUCH WARMER AIR MASS IF THE WESTERN PART OF THE SURFACE FRONT CAN EDGE BACK NORTH ENOUGH...AS IS CURRENTLY INDICATED. && .LONG TERM... FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE NEAR OR ACROSS CWA INTO WEEKEND BUT WITH LOWER CHC POPS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY AS SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVES ACROSS REGION. FRONT SHOULD BE PUSHED FAR ENOUGH NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT TO REMOVE MENTION OF SHOWERS. CHANCE POPS AGAIN ON SUNDAY THEN AS MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE MOVES IN SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WILL HAVE HIGHER CHC POPS AS FRONT IS PULLED SOUTH ACROSS CWA. WILL STILL FORECAST FRONT TO CLEAR CWA BY MONDAY NIGHT DESPITE GFS WANTING TO HOLD UP PROGRESS AND BRING SHORTWAVE AND STRONG SURFACE LOW ACROSS CWA DURING DAY TUE. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS RUNS AND WILL NOT JUMP ON POPS THIS FAR OUT. OTHERWISE UPPER TROF IN THE NE US WILL BRING NW FLOW AND SEASONABLE TEMPS INTO MID WEEK. MAY BE HARD TO TIME WEAK IMPULSES IN THE NW FLOW TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TSTMS ESPECIALLY WED BUT FOR NOW WILL KEEP DRY FORECAST. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE.
