AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 140 AM EDT SUN JUN 11 2006 .AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 110600Z ISSUANCE. SFC FRONT STRETCHES THRU S MO TO S INDIANA. 850 MB FRONT IS FOUND N OF THE SFC FRONT AND HAS SERVED AS FORCING MECHANISM FOR MCS THAT IS CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND S INDIANA. THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE ESE ALONG 850 FRONT. CIGS WL CONTINUE TO FALL...WITH KBMG AND KHUF BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF STRATIFORM CLOUDS BEHIND THE MCS FALLING BLO 010 FOR A FEW HOURS. CIGS WL START TO REBOUND AFTER 11Z. VSBYS MAY FALL TO MVFR BRIEFLY DURING SHOWERS...BUT CIGS SHOULD BE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...FCST FOCUS WILL BE ON HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TONIGHT AND RAIN CHANCES THROUGH SUNDAY. A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDED FROM EXTREME SOUTHERN INDIANA JUST NORTH OF EVANSVILLE TO LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHEAST KANSAS. TEMPERATURES SOUTH OF THE FRONT HAD WARMED TO 90S WHILE 60S AND 70S WERE THE RULE TO THE NORTH. RADAR MOSAICS SHOWED NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE BEGINNING TO INCREASE ACROSS MISSOURI. LOOKS LIKE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF OUR FORECAST AREA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. MODELS INDICATE THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF S/W OVER ERN KANSAS WHICH WAS ALSO INDICATED ON WATER VAPOR. MODELS INDICATE GOOD MOISTURE CONVERGENCE NEAR SURFACE AND 850 MB. 850 MB JET IS ONLY 20-30 KNOTS TO OUR SOUTHWEST AND DEWPOINTS ONLY IN LOWER 60S TO OUR SOUTHWEST. SO EVEN THOUGH HEAVY RAINS STILL APPEAR A GOOD BET WILL NOT ISSUE FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME. SPC ALSO KEEPS OUR S/W HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA IN SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO GREAT LAKES WILL FORCE FRONT SLOWLY SOUTHWARD DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. HOWEVER MODELS ARE A LITTLE SLOWER IN DRYING THINGS OUT ON SUNDAY. WILL GO DRY MOST OF EXTENDED UNTIL DAY 7 AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER GREAT LAKES DOMINATES OUR WEATHER. HPC AND GFS INDICATES COLD FRONT APPROACHING OUR AREA BY DAY 7. WILL MENTION SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS BY THEN. IT IS POSSIBLE THIS SYSTEM MAY NOT REACH US UNTIL AFTER DAY 7. I HAVE USED A BLEND OF MET/MAV TEMPERATURES IN THE SHORT TERM. CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR THE HIGHER END OF GUIDANCE NUMBERS TONIGHT. && IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. PUBLIC...JEH AVIATION...CP
