NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 26, 12:17 PM EST, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 117 PM EDT THU APR 26 2007 .AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE FORECAST FOCUS IN THE SHORT TERM IS ON TSRA. WARM FRONT WAS NORTH OF ALL TAF SITES AND TSRA WERE FORMING IN THE WARM SECTOR. SOME CLEARING NEAR THE IL/IN BORDER COULD PROVIDE ENOUGH HEATING FOR ADDITIONAL TSRA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME WITH NO MAIN FEATURE TO FOCUS ON WILL TIME IN CURRENT TSRA AND USE VCTS AND CB TO COVER LATER IN THE EVENING. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW SATURATION IN THE LOWER LEVELS AND ALL MODEL GUIDENCE HAS CIGS BELOW 1000FT LATER TONIGHT. SINCE ALL GUIDENCE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS WILL TAKE CIGS DOWN GENERALLY AROUND OR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT LOCAL TIME. CIGS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO BREAK OUT AND WILL PROBABLY NOT OCCUR UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE TAF PD. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY NOTED IN THE WIND FIELDS AND SHOULD REMAIN AROUND 10KTS OR LESS OUTSIDE OF THE THUNDERSTORM AREAS. && .PREV DISCUSSION...FOCUS IS ON CONVECTIVE SCENARIO TODAY. 07Z SFC MAP SHOWS 1003MB LOW NEAR COLUMBIA MO. WARM FRONT EXTENDS EAST FROM THE LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA. DEWPOINTS IN THE WARM SECTOR RANGE IN THE UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60F. MAIN UPPER LOW IS NOW EJECTING NE ACROSS SOUTHERN MO. ASSOCIATED SFC LOW/WARM FRONT IS NOW ALSO BEGINNING TO MOVE ENE. PROFILERS SHOW A LARGE AREA OF 30-40KT SW 850MB WINDS AHEAD OF THE UPPER SYSTEM. INCREASING UPPER DIV IS AIDING IN SCT SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE LLJ AXIS THIS AM. MUCAPE REMAINS AROUND 500J/KG AS STEEPER LAPSE RATES BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION. ETA HAS BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT WITH THIS SYSTEM AND WE SEE NO REASON TO STRAY FROM THE SHORT TERM ETA FCST OF THIS SYSTEM. GFS/ETA IS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH GENERAL MOVEMENT OF THE SFC LOW/WARM FRONT. MOS TEMPS ARE ALSO IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT AND WILL USE A BLEND THROUGH THE PERIOD. TODAY...UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO EJECT NE ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE STRONGEST BELT OF MID/UPPER LVL WINDS FCST TO TRAVERSE THE OH RIVER AND POINTS EAST. MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN/SCT TSRA ASSOCIATED WITH THE LLJ UPPER DIV SHOULD DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND SHIFT EAST AFTER 15Z TODAY. THEREAFTER...THE SFC LOW WILL APPROACH WHILE THE WARM FRONT SHOULD MOVE NORTH TOWARD A LAF TO MIE LINE BY 18Z. NATURE OF THE WARM SECTOR WILL BE KEY TO MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY TOWARD 18Z. CURRENT SAT PICS/SFC OBS SHOW MUCH OF THE WARM SECTOR FREE OF LOW CLDS HOWEVER ISENTROPIC PLOTS SUGGEST STRONG LOW LVL LIFT THIS AM WHICH MAY FOSTER LOW CLD DEVELOPMENT. EXPECTED SCENARIO IS ONE WHERE INITIAL PRECIP SHIELD MOVES E OF THE AREA LATER THIS MORNING WHILE ADDITIONAL PRECIP DEVELOPS WITHIN MODEST INSTABILITY BY 18Z OR THEREAFTER. SHEAR/HODOGRAPHS SUGGEST STRONGER LOW LVL SHEAR ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA INTO OH THIS PM HOWEVER THE ENTIRE REGION SHOULD REMAIN WITHIN DEEP SHEAR AOA 35KTS. IF SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY DEVELOPS EXPECT DISCRETE LOW TOPPED SUPERCELLS OR MULTICELLS ACROSS THE AREA BY 18Z OR AFTER. GIVEN CONDITIONAL NATURE OF SCENARIO WILL HOLD OFF ON SVR MENTION IN ZONES FOR NOW BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THERMO TRENDS CLOSELY FOR INCREASING SVR THREAT. STEEPENING LAPSE RATES/SHEAR SUGGESTS SOME LOW END HAIL POTENTIAL WHILE POSITION OF SFC LOW/SHEAR ALSO SUGGESTS SOME TORNADO THREAT CONDITIONAL ON INSTABILITY. SFC LOW AND COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH DECREASING CHCS FOR PRECIP THEREAFTER. DEFORMATION ZONE PRECIP MAY PIVOT BACK INTO THE AREA LATER TONIGHT SO KEEPING 30-40 POPS WITH SHOWERS LOOKS GOOD. EXPECT CLDS AND CHCS FOR SHOWERS TO PERSIST THROUGH FRI AS THE WEAKENING DEFORMATION ZONE PRECIP DEPARTS. MOS TEMPS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH GOING FCST HIGHS. SAT AND BEYOND...WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE AREA SAT BEFORE UPPER RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE REGION WITH WARMER AND DRY CONDS. A COLD FRONT WITHIN NW FLOW WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION TUES OR WEDS WITH COOLER CONDS EXPECTED THEREAFTER. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && AVIATION...SALLY PUBLIC...CO
