AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 130 AM EST MON JUN 27 2005 .DISCUSSION...FCST FOCUS ON TEMPS AND PRECIP CHCS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS MAIN UPPER CIRCULATION ACROSS NW AL TONIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL INCREASE PRECIP CHCS OVER THE AREA MON THROUGH EARLY WEDS. SATELLITE ALSO SHOWS BANDS OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS WORKING WNW INTO THE REGION. 850MB PROFILER NETWORK SHOWS EFFECTIVE RIDGE AXIS FROM INDIANA SW THROUGH TEXARKANA. ETA INITIALIZED THE SE UPPER LOW POORLY WHILE THE GFS DID A BIT BETTER WITH SFC PATTERN WITH THIS SYSTEM. BIG DIFFERENCES APPEAR IN THE TUES NIGHT-WEDS TIMEFRAME OWING TO DIFFERENCES IN THE INTERACTION OF WESTERLIES AND GRT LKS SHORTWAVE WITH SE UPPER LOW. ETA IS COOLER/WETTER DUE TO A VEERED LLJ AND ANOMALOUS 850MB THETAE RIDGE FEATURE NOT SHOWN BY OTHER MODELS. AS A RESULT, WILL LEAN TOWARD WARMER GFS TEMPS COME WEDS ANTICIPATING LESS PRECIP/CLOUDINESS. TODAY...INFLUENCE OF SE UPPER LOW WILL FINALLY BE FELT IN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS. 1000-850MB THICKNESSES AND 850MB TEMPS ALL COOL FROM SE TODAY. BASED UPON PAST FEW DAYS THICKNESSES AND 850MB TEMPS, I PREFER A BLEND OF ETA (COOLER) AND GFS (WARMER) TEMPS TODAY. CURRENT FCST HAS 20 PERCENT CHCS FOR RAIN THIS AFTERNOON. AS MENTIONED BY PREVIOUS FCSTR, GIVEN LACK OF FOCUS FEEL THAT LOWER POPS ARE BEST THROUGH THE PERIOD. BEST CHCS FOR RAIN APPEAR LATER MON NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY TUESDAY AS UPPER SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. GIVEN EXPECTED CEILINGS ABOVE 5KFT, FEEL THAT WARMER GFS MAX TEMP FCST IS BETTER THAN COOLER ETA ON TUES. WEDS AND BEYOND...AS MENTIONED EARLIER, ETA IS PUSHING UPPER SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH AXIS EAST FASTER WEDS. IN FACT, ETA FCSTS WIDESPREAD PRECIP/COOLER MAX TEMPS WEDS OWING IN PART TO A VEERED 20-30KT 850MB JET AND ASSOCIATED THETAE RIDGE. GFS/ECMWF AND NGM DO NOT SHOW THIS FEATURE AND KEEP DYNAMICS/KINEMATICS NW OF THE CWA WEDS. CURRENT FCST HAS 30 PERCENT CHC FOR PRECIP WEDS AND WILL NOT CHANGE SINCE THERE IS SOME CHC FOR LINGERING PRECIP WITH SE UPPER TROUGH...IN A NUTSHELL WILL LEAN TOWARD GFS SOLUTION WEDS. COLD FRONT STILL FCST TO PASS THROUGH THURSDAY. ETA IS THE OUTLIER WITH A FLATTER TROUGH/RIDGE ORIENTATION WHILE OTHER MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A STRONGER TROUGH. AS A RESULT, ETA IS FOCUSING LLJ/WAA ACROSS IL/IN THURS WITH WIDESPREAD PRECIP WHILE GFS/ECMWF IS SHOWING MORE LINEAR SCATTERED PRECIP ALONG THE FRONT. FAVOR THE GFS IS THIS REGARD GIVEN ABOVE REASONING. COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDS WILL THEN ARRIVE FOR FRI/SAT. LOW CONFIDENCE SOLUTION THEREAFTER THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY WITH A WNW FAST UPPER FLOW ALOFT AND STRONG WAA INDICATED UPSTREAM ACROSS IL/IA. CURRENT FCST IS DRY AND WILL LEAVE AS IS GIVEN LOW CONFIDENCE...NEAR SEASONAL TEMPS SUN. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && CO
