AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 755 PM EDT SUN JUL 2 2006 .AVIATION/UPDATE... WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS WILL MOVE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WITH MANY HOURS OF DRY VFR WEATHER IN BETWEEN CLUSTERS. THESE SYSTEMS CAN BE DIFFICULT TO TIME AND LOCATE PRECISELY SO HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP TERMINAL FORECASTS FREE OF THUNDER BUT MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDER IN THE CLOUD DESIGNATOR...BUT MENTIONED FOG AT BOTH LOCATIONS WITH SOME CLEARING EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDER WILL BE MONDAY AFTERNOON. ZONE FORECASTS WERE UPDATED FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 576. && .SHORT TERM...

SOME WEAK BOUNDARIES EVIDENT IN THIS AREA...APPARENTLY OUTFLOWS FROM THIS MORNINGS CONVECTION ALONG MI/IN AND WI/IL BORDER. STILL WATCHING A SHRTWV IN WATER VAPOR MOVG EAST ACROSS IA WHICH SHOULD ALSO AID TSTM DEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM AND ACROSS OUR AREA DURING PK HEATING AND THIS EVENING. CAP EVIDENT ON ILXS MORNING SOUNDING WILL HINDER CONVECTION TO OUR SOUTH, BUT APPEARS NRN INDIANA MAY BE ON THE NRN EDGE OF THE LID SO CONTD WITH CHC OF TSTMS OVERNIGHT. WITH LIGHTER GRADIENT TONIGHT, MINS SHOULD BE CONSIDERABLY COOLER THAN LAST NIGHT... IN THE M-U60S. ANOTHER CDFNT WILL DROP SE FROM THE NRN PLAINS TO THE UPR MS VLY ON MONDAY. ALSO ANOTHER WK SHRTWV IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ESE FM THE ROCKIES THIS AFTN TO IA ON MONDAY. THE APPROACH OF THESE SYSTEMS SHOULD RESULT IN RESUMED INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL SWLY FLOW/WAA OVER OUR AREA WHICH MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT TOMORROW IN MOIST/MOD UNSTABLE AMS ACROSS THE AREA.

NGM/NAM/GFS FORECASTS ARE ALL SIMILAR IN PUSHING THE FRONT THROUGH IN THE ABOVE TIME FRAME. RAISED POPS MONDAY NIGHT TO HIGH CHANCE SOUTHEAST AND INCREASED POPS ON THE 4TH OF JULY OVER THE SOUTHEAST AND INCREASED COVERAGE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. PRECIPITATION WILL END ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA TOWARD MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT. UPPER CANADIAN LOW WILL SLIDE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO ALLOW COOL CANADIAN AIR TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. COOL CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE EAST ALLOWING A REBOUND IN TEMPERATURES THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA. MINOR CHANGE WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST FROM WEDNESDAY ON AND KEPT SUNDAY DRY AS THE NEW WEATHER PATTERN BEGINS TO UNFOLD. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE.
