TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WAS IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON...JUST UPSTREAM OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE AIRMASS OVER NORTHERN INDIANA AND SURROUNDING AREAS HAS RECOVERED QUITE WELL FROM EARLIER CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES AT 18Z WERE NEAR 90 JUST UPSTREAM AND DEW POINTS 70 TO 75. MODIFIED RUC SOUNDING YIELDED CAPE OF OVER 5200 J/KG...AND 17Z LAPS CAPE NOT FAR BEHIND AT 4000-4500. HOWEVER...GIVEN EARLIER CANOPY OF MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS AND EARLIER CONVECTION...EXPECT INITIATION TIME TO BE SOMEWHAT LATER THAN EARLIER EXPECTED. ACARS SOUNDING FROM BMI INDICATED A SMALL CAP JUST BELOW 800 MB...ALSO SUGGESTING A LATER INITIATION TIME. THE 18Z ILX SOUNDING ALSO INDICATED A CAP. A WELL DEFINED VORT MAX ON WATER VAPOR SATELLITE WAS NEAR DSM AT 18Z...AND SHOULD REACH NW INDIANA/FAR SW LOWER MICHIGAN BY 04Z/MIDNIGHT EDT. EXPECT CONVECTION TO INTENSIFY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM. ONGOING FORECAST FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND A POSSIBLE TORNADO APPEARS ON TRACK. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL EXIST THURSDAY WITH THE FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA. ONCE AGAIN...BY AFTERNOON...DAYTIME HEATING WILL CAUSE THE AIRMASS TO BECOME EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. HOWEVER...WITH A LIGHTER WIND FIELD...POTENTIAL FOR LOCAL FLOODING EXISTS WITH SLOWER MOVING STORMS WELL INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. && .LONG TERM... FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...HAVE KEPT THIS PERIOD DRY WITH TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL. STILL COULD BE SOME LINGERING CONVECTION FRIDAY MORNING...BUT KEPT FRIDAY DRY THIS PACKAGE AS NCEP MODELS SHOWING MIXED SOLUTIONS. MAIN FEATURE THIS PERIOD IS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER THE SW CONUS. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAS SHOWN VARIOUS SOLUTIONS WITH THE STRENGTH AND PROGRESSION OF THE DOWNSTREAM TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THE 12Z GFS WAS SHOWING A MUCH DIFFERENT PATTERN OVER SOUTHERN CANADA...WITH THE TROF AXIS SHIFTED WEST A GREAT DISTANCE FROM THE 00Z RUN. THE CANADIAN ENSEMBLES WERE 180 DEGREES OUT OF PHASE BETWEEN THE GFS. HOWEVER...THE GFS AND CANADIAN ENSEMBLE ANALOGS SHOWED A PATTERN CLOSE TO CLIMATOLOGY...SO WITH ALL CONSIDERED...KEPT THE FORECAST DRY WITH TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL. THIS WEEKEND SHOULD BE NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID AS COOL AND DRY AIR SPREADS INTO THE REGION. && .AVIATION... LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL MN DOWN THROUGH IA AND BACK INTO NE/KS WHILE A WARM FRONT HAS PUSHED UP NORTH OF BOTH SBN AND FWA. MAIN FEATURE TO KEY ON EXPECTED TO BE MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE AS LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALONG WITH RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS VORT MAX OVER EASTERN IA WITH SPEED MAX MOVING UP INTO NORTHERN IL. EXPECT THIS TO INTERACT WITH SEVERAL CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES LAID OUT OVER THE REGION...ALONG WITH A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS...TO TRIGGER TSRA DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND IMPACT BOTH TAF SITES. WILL INTRODUCE AS VCTS LATE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE BRINGING PREVAILING -SHRA TO BOTH SITES...BUT STILL LEAVING CIGS VFR. EXACT TIMING STILL IN QUESTION BUT WILL BRING IN A 1 HR TEMPO GROUP FOR TSRA TO INDICATE TREND EXPECTED. CANNOT RULE OUT ADDL MCS CONVECTION LATER TONIGHT BUT WILL WAIT FOR THIS TO UNFOLD AND LEAVE OUT OF TAFS FOR NOW. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE.
