...ANOTHER ACTIVE SVR WX DAY FROM LT MORNING INTO THIS AFTN ACRS
MUCH OF NORTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHWEST OHIO...

.AVIATION...
COMPLEX WEATHER SITUATION THIS AFTERNOON. A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE CROSSING NORTHERN INDIANA AT THIS TIME. THE MAIN
THRUST IS SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS AT THIS TIME...BUT THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT IS QUITE LIKELY AT FORT WAYNE TERMINAL. KEPT THUNDER
MENTION IN FORT WAYNE TAF. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE EAST OF THE SOUTH
BEND TERMINAL BY 18Z WITH NO MORE THUNDER EXPECTED FOR THIS TAF
ISSUANCE TIME PERIOD.  CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY WILL REMAIN VFR FOR
THE MOST PART...BUT WILL DROP TO IFR VISIBILITY IN THUNDERSTORMS.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE EAST OF BOTH TERMINALS BY 23Z WITH VFR
CONDITIONS RETURNING ACROSS THE AREA BY THIS EVENING.  THERE MAY BE
A CHANCE OF FOG LATER TONIGHT AT BOTH TERMINALS...BUT HAVE ELECTED
TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE TERMINAL FORECASTS AT THIS TIME.

.PREV DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM...
TODAY AND TONIGHT.

HAVE GONE WITH A BLEND OF THE RUC40 AND 00Z NAM-WRF FOR THIS FCST
PACKAGE.

A COUPLE OF COLD FRONTS WILL AFFECT THE REGION OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS.

AT 08Z...THE FIRST COLD FRONT THAT WILL AFFECT THE REGION WAS
LOCATED FROM SE ONTARIO...ACRS NRN MICHIGAN...THEN INTO FAR SE
WISCONSIN.  THIS FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST TODAY...BEING LOCATED
FROM ABOUT DETROIT...TO GOSHEN...IN...TO KANKAKEE IL BY 18Z...THEN
FROM NEAR CLEVELAND...TO CNTRL INDIANA...THEN INTO CNTRL ILLINOIS BY
00Z THIS EVENING.  THE ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF THIS FRONT REMAINS QUITE
UNSTABLE AS EXHIBITED BY CURRENT MUCAPES OF 1000 J/KG TO 2000 J/KG.
AS THE FRONT MOVES ACRS THE REGION...A WEAK S/WV WILL APCH FROM THE
SOUTHWEST...MOVING ACRS THE FCST AREA BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z.  ALTHOUGH
LOW LVL CONVERGENCE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE FAIRLY
WEAK...THE S/WV AND THE VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS (SBCAPES NEAR LIMA
OHIO ARE FORECAST TO BE NEAR 3000 J/KG THIS AFTN) WILL BE ENOUGH TO
KICK OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT THE
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM THREAT MAY END ACRS THE FAR NW CWFA THIS
AFTN AS DRIER AIR FROM 925 MB TO 850 MB MOVES INTO THIS AREA.  DO
NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO GO DRY JUST YET...SO WILL LAYER POPS FROM
20 PERCENT FAR NW TO 50 PERCENT SE.  THIS WILL ALLOW DAY SHIFT TO
FINE TUNE FCST.  HIGHS TODAY WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 80 ALONG THE
LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE TO THE UPPER 80S ACRS THE SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST.

FOR TONIGHT...FIRST COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH.  ANOTHER COLD
FRONT WILL APCH THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST...MOVING INTO THE FCST
AREA AFTER 06Z...AND THEN INTO THE SRN CWFA BY FRIDAY MORNING.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD STILL BE ONGOING ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FIRST COLD FRONT THIS EVENING...WHILE NOT MUCH IS EXPECTED IN
THE WAY OF PCPN AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT.  WILL LAYER POPS FROM 20
PERCENT NORTH TO 50 SOUTH FOR THE EVENING HOURS...THEN JUST A 30
PERCENT CHC IN THE FAR SOUTH AFTER MIDNIGHT.  DRIER AIR WILL SLOWLY
FILTER INTO THE REGION.  LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO
MID 60S.

LONG TERM...
THE CURRENT FORECAST FOR THE FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY TIME
FRAME IS A DRY ONE...EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA FRIDAY
MORNING. THE GFS IS CONTINUING TO BE THE WETTEST MODEL FOR FRIDAY
AND OVER THE LAST FEW RUNS IT HAS KEPT THE MAIN PART OF THE RAIN TO
THE SOUTH. THE GFS IS JUST CREEPING SOME QPF INTO THE SOUTHERN PART
OF OUR CWA. GFS/NAM SOUNDINGS ARE SHOWING FAIRLY DEEP MOISTURE YET
FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA FRIDAY MORNING. SO WITH A CHANCE
THAT SOME LINGERING SHOWERS/STORMS COULD BE GOING ON INTO FRIDAY
MORNING...HAVE PUT IN A SMALL CHANCE FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE
CWA WHICH COLLABORATES WELL WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES AS WELL.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THEN OVER THE AREA THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. THE
GFS IS SHOWING A FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH MICHIGAN AND CANADA TO THE
NORTH NEXT TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT FOR RIGHT NOW TO HAVE NO
AFFECT ON THE CWA. THE ONLY OTHER ITEM TO NOTE IS AN UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE THAT GFS IS SHOWING TO MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS SHORTWAVE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE DRY FOR OUR
CWA...SO LEFT THIS TIME FRAME DRY. WITH NO MAJOR CHANGES IN THE
PATTERN FOR THIS COMING WEEK...850MB TEMPERATURES FOR EACH AFTERNOON
ARE ROUGHLY SIMILAR. SO NO BIG RANGES IN MAX TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...FORECASTED TO BE FAIRLY SIMILAR FROM DAY TO DAY.
