NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 3, 3:20 AM EST, 3 hours 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 420 AM EDT THU AUG 3 2006 .SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE SHORT TERM FORECAST IS A DIFFICULT ONE THIS MORNING. AT 07Z...SFC ANALYSIS DEPICTED A FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM SRN ONTARIO...SOUTHWEST INTO SRN MICHIGAN...THEN INTO ILLINOIS...NRN MISSOURI AND NRN KANSAS. THIS FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG THROUGH THE FCST AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. OPERATIONAL 00Z NAM-WRF AND GFS DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE CURRENT FCST SITUATION. THUS...HAVE RELIED ON THE LATEST RUC40 MODEL AND CURRENT SATELLITE...RADAR AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THIS MORNING/S CONVECTION FROM THE MIDDLE MS RIVER VLY INTO OUR REGION HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. ONE OF PARTICULAR INTEREST IS THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY/CONVECTION OCCURRING ACRS W CNTRL ILLINOIS THIS MORNING. THIS FEATURE WAS MOVING FAIRLY FAST...ABOUT 40 TO 50 MPH...TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS FEATURE...IN COMBINATION WITH LOW LVL WAA/LOW LVL JET...WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM ACRS THE REGION LATER THIS MORNING. ALSO...THIS WILL DEFINITELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL PUSH ACRS THE FCST AREA TODAY. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTED A WELL DEFINED S/WV ACRS NE KS/NW MISSOURI. THIS SYSTEM...AS SEEN FROM THE LATEST RUC40 MODEL IS FORECAST TO PUSH EAST INTO NW INDIANA BY AROUND 18Z...PROVIDING UPR LVL LIFT AS IT MOVES INTO OUR REGION. AS A RESULT OF ALL THESE FACTORS...HAVE EMPLOYED LIKELY POPS ACRS THE ENTIRE REGION TODAY. THE AIRMASS WILL BE QUITE MOIST AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 2 INCHES. THUS...WILL MENTION HEAVY RAIN IN THE ZONES. HAVE DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH ATTM IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER OFFICES (IND/ILN) AS CURRENT 1 HOUR FFG VALUES ARE MAINLY IN THE 2 TO 2.3 INCH RANGE. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING WITH THUNDERSTORMS AND SOME URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES MAY BE ISSUED. AS FOR HIGH TEMPS TODAY...IT WILL BE A TOUGH CALL GIVEN WARM START...AND HIGH PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. HAVE TWEAKED PREVIOUS FORECAST VALUES SLIGHTLY...RANGING FROM THE LOWER 80S NORTHWEST TO THE UPPER 80S SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. FOR TONIGHT...ONCE AFOREMENTIONED S/WV RIPPLES BY TO THE EAST...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD HAVE A MORE PUSH SOUTHWARD OUT OF OUR AREA. WILL MAINTAIN CHC POPS IN THE SERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CWFA...BUT THIS MAY HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED BASED ON TIMING OF MENTIONED SYSTEMS. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD DROP INTO THE LOWER AND MID 60S. && .LONG TERM.... FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...KEPT THE PERIOD DRY EXCEPT FOR A CHANCE OF STORMS MONDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH NOT MUCH COOL AIR WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE AREA. THE NEW 03/00Z MEX FOLLOWED THE 02/00Z KEEPING HIGHS ABOVE NORMAL THIS WEEKEND. THIS WARM PATTERN APPEARS ON TRACK WITH 850 MB TEMPS AT OR ABOVE 16C. TIMING OF COOL FRONT MONDAY ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF STORMS STILL APPEARS ON TRACK. THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL SHIFT AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH DOWNSTREAM FROM THIS RIDGE TO ALLOW SOME COOLER AIR TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THIS COOLER PATTERN IS REFLECTED WELL IN THE NEW MEX MOS WITH TEMPERATURES ACTUALLY BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPS DOWN GIVEN THE HIGH CORRELATION WITH THE ANALOGS OF GFS RUNS...GFS ENSEMBLE ANALOGS AND THE CANADIAN ANALOGS THAT MATCH THIS PATTERN. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
