Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 6:10 PM EST, 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 610 PM EST FRI JUN 10 2005 .AVIATION... NORTHERN INDIANA CONTINUES TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A WARM HUMID AIR MASS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE WEST FROM THE ATLANTIC COAST. WITH THE VERY WARM AIR MASS IN PLACE...AND WEAK OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...THERE CONTINUES TO BE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE BEST CHANCE BEING EARLY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH THE SCATTERED NATURE OF THE STORMS...JUST A CB GROUP WAS MENTIONED FOR BOTH FORT WAYNE AND SOUTH BEND EARLY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WITH THE RAINFALL AT FORT WAYNE EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON...THE CHANCE OF SOME MVFR FOG WILL INCREASE SO IT WAS MENTIONED. OTHERWISE...EXPECT VFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY FOR MUCH OF THE NEXT 24 HOURS. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM... THE SAME AIR MASS IS STILL IN PLACE THAT HAS BEEN IN THE AREA THE PAST FEW DAYS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE POPPED UP IN THE EASTERN HALF OF OUR COUNTY WARNING AREA. THESE STORMS ARE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD. JUST THE WESTERN HALF OF OUR CWA IS IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. BUT REGARDLESS WITH THE INSTABILITY OUT THERE ALL STORMS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED. NOT EXPECTING THESE STORMS TO LAST TOO LONG INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SO IF THEIR STILL GOING AROUND FORECAST ISSUANCE TIME WILL HAVE TO PUT IN HIGHER POP VALUES FOR THE FIRST PART OF THIS EVENING. JUST LIKE THE LAST FEW NIGHTS TONIGHT IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT ANY SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL POP UP. NOT EXPECTED TO COOL OFF MUCH AGAIN TONIGHT WITH MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS IN PLACE AND THIS WARM HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE. EXPECTING LOWS DOWN TO THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70. THEN ALSO BASICALLY THE SAME THING FOR TOMORROW AS THE PAST FEW DAYS. HOT AND HUMID. DRY IN THE MORNING AND THEN AS THE SUN WORKS ON THE ATMOSPHERE AND THINGS BECOME MORE UNSTABLE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONCE AGAIN POSSIBLE. NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE DONE TO THE TEMPERATURES AS WE WILL BE IN THE SAME AIR MASS FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. && LONG TERM... SAT NGT THROUGH FRI... UPR LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE EAST COAST SHOULD REMAIN NEARLY STNRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND, PRBLY STRENGTHENING SOME EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SHRTWV DIGS ESE INTO PLAINS AND CLOSES OFF AN UPPER LOW. LATEST MODEL RUNS INDICATE REMNANTS OF ARLENE WILL MOVE NORTH FROM THE GULF COAST AROUND EAST COAST RIDGE ON SATURDAY TO THE OH VALLEY SUNDAY, AND TO THE GRTLKS MONDAY. MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. EXPECT MORE CLOUDINESS ON SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM WILL LIMIT INSTABILITY AND RESULT IN A LITTLE LOWER MAX TEMPS THAN PREVIOUS FEW DAYS. LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SETUP FOR SCT-NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TRW BUT GIVEN TIMING/TRACK QUESTION THIS FAR OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH A TROPICAL SYSTEM, WL KEEP CHC POPS ATTM. NAM CLOSES OFF UPPER LOW FARTHER EAST OVER THE PLAINS THAN GFS ON MONDAY, BUT BOTH HINTING AT A SLOW EAST TRACK INTO/ACROSS GRTLKS TUE-THU TIME FRAME. ALTHOUGH MOVING SLOW, CIRCULATION/WIND FIELDS WITH THIS SYSTEM FCST TO BE QUITE STRONG FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND WITH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE, SOME INTENSE TSTMS MAY RESULT. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH GFS BRINGING CDFNT ASSOCD WITH THIS SYSTEM THROUGH THE AREA TUE NGT WITH A CHC OF TSTMS ALONG/AHEAD OF IT... THEN DRY WED AS DRY SLOT AND WK RIDGE MOVE THROUGH THE AREA AHEAD OF A SECONDARY FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WED NGT-THU. AMS SHOULD BE LESS UNSTABLE BY THEN AND JUST MENTIONED A CHC OF SHOWERS WITH THIS FRONT. WITH LOW EXPECTED TO MOVE TO THE NERN U.S. THU NGT AND FRI, HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD MOVE SSE ACROSS THE UPR GRLKS PROVIDING NLY SFC FLOW WITH FAIR AND COOL WX. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .IN...NONE. .MI...NONE. .OH...NONE. .LK MI...NONE. &&
