AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 550 AM EST MON SEP 19 2005 .AVIATION... THE UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA TODAY FOLLOWED BY A COOL FRONT. HAVE TRIED TO TIME ACTIVITY INTO SBN/FWA GIVEN LATEST FORECAST POSITIONS OF UPSTREAM CONVECTION. ENVIRONMENT IS MORE STABLE TO THE EAST...SO ACTIVITY SHOULD TEND TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST...SO HAVE OPTED WITH JUST SHOWERS AT FWA. HAVE ALSO INCLUDED SHOWERS AND THUNDER IN THE VICINITY OF SBN/FWA TONIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK COOL FRONT. LATEST GFS MOS INCREASES WINDS TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS...SO HAVE INDICATED GUSTY WINDS IN TAFS. && .SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT. WARM FRONT WAS LIFTING NORTHEAST TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. LOW LEVEL WINDS OVER MISSOURI INTO WESTERN IL WERE 30-50 KNOTS...HELPING TO MAXIMIZE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE OVER IL WHERE WINDS WERE MUCH LIGHTER. AN MCS HAD DEVELOPED OVER THIS ENHANCED AREA OF LIFT OVER IL AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST. ALTHOUGH ILX 00Z SOUNDING SHOWED A MAJOR CAP...THIS SOUNDING IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ENVIRONMENT JUST TO THE WEST. GIVEN RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS...HAVE RAISED POPS TO LIKELY OVER WESTERN AREAS AS FRONT LIFTS NORTHEAST. SOME PARAMETERS FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE STORMS ARE INDICATED TODAY. LOW LEVEL WINDS SHOULD INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH AHEAD OF THE FRONT. 00Z NAM SHOWS 0-3KM HELICITY AROUND 400 AND INDICATED SIGNIFICANT DEEP LAYER SHEAR...SO WILL NEED TO MONITOR STORMS CLOSELY TODAY FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL. FOR THIS EVENING...QUESTION IS HOW MUCH WILL THE ENVIRONMENT BE ABLE TO RECOVER ONCE COMPLEX PASSES. AT THIS POINT HAVE MENTIONED THUNDER THIS EVENING WITH FROPA BUT CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS STILL EXISTS...ESPECIALLY IF AIRMASS CAN REGENERATE THIS AFTERNOON. && .LONG TERM... SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE SRN GREAT LAKES ON TUESDAY...USHERING IN MUCH DRIER AIR. MAV/MOS GUIDANCE AND TEMPERATURE THICKNESS SCHEMES SUGGEST THAT FCST HIGHS MAY NOT BE AS COOL AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. THUS...HAVE RAISED THESE 2 TO 3 DEGREES ...GIVING HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S NORTH/EAST AND LOWER 80S SOUTHWEST. FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST INTO THE MIDDLE OHIO VLY...THEN INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. WILL CONTINUE WITH A MOSTLY CLEAR/MOSTLY SUNNY FCST. AGAIN...THICKNESS SCHEMES SUGGEST WARMING TEMPS A FEW DEGREES AND WILL DO SO IN THE ZONES/GRIDS. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED...A STRONG MID LVL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE SRN UNITED STATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MEANWHILE...THE SRN GREAT LAKES WILL BE ON THE SRN PERIPHERY OF A STRONG NRN JET STREAM. THIS SCENARIO WILL TRY TO BRING SVRL FRONTS INTO THE REGION...BUT THEY WILL HAVE A HARD TIME PENETRATING SOUTH DUE TO STRONG MID LVL RIDGE AS STATED PREVIOUSLY. HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP EXTENDED AS IS AT THIS POINT IN TIME...WHICH BRINGS A FRONT INTO OUR AREA FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...AS DETAILS BECOME MORE CLEAR WITH LATER MODEL RUNS...SOME ADJUSTMENTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED. ALSO...HIGH/LOW TEMPS MAY HAVE TO BE BUMPED UP SOME IF FRONTS FAIL TO MOVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE AREA. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE MI...NONE OH...NONE LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM NOON MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON FOR LMZ043-LMZ046. && AVIATION/SHORT TERM...SKIPPER LONG TERM...HICKMAN
