AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1220 PM EST THU FEB 22 2007 .AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR THE 18Z TAFS. HI PRES OVR THE NRN PLAINS WL BLD TWD INDIANA DURING THE PD. EXPECT SCT CU AT KIND AND KLAF THIS AFTERNOON TO CLR OUT BY 0Z. WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 30 WL CONT UNTIL 0Z AS WELL AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MVS OUT TO THE NE. WITH ONLY SCT CIRRUS FOR CLDS AND SNOW CVR WITH LT WINDS BROUGHT IN MVFR VISBYS FROM 12 TO 15Z FOR KLAF AND KIND. && .DISCUSSION... FORECAST FOCUS IS ON FOG EARLY THEN ON TEMPS/SKY TODAY THEN ON WEEKEND RAIN. AT 08Z A COLD FRONT WAS MOVING INTO THE NW PART OF THE FORECAST AREA /FA/. NOT MANY CLOUDS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. SECONDARY COLD FRONT WAS BACK IN IA. MEANWHILE...DENSE FOG REMAINED ACROSS A COUPLE COUNTIES ACROSS THE SERN FA...BUT WAS LIFTING MOST OTHER PLACES IN THE SERN FA. MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT. TIMING DIFFERENCES OCCUR FOR RAIN ON SATURDAY. USED A BLEND FOR MOST DAYS...BUT LEANED TOWARD SREFS FOR PRECIP TIMING ON SATURDAY. FOG SHOULD BE ON ITS WAY OUT AS WINDS ARE ON THE INCREASE WITH FRONT MOVING IN. WEBCAMS/ASOS/AWOS REPORTS SHOW VISIBILITIES HAVE INCREASED...WITH SHELBYVILLE REPORTING 1SM AT 0838Z. HOWEVER...APPEARS MOST DENSE PART OF THE FOG IS IN AN AREA OF LOWER ELEVATION...SO FOG MAY BE STUBBORN THERE AS WAS THE CASE WEDNESDAY. COLUMBUS AWOS REPORTING 1/2SM AND JENNINGS COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT STILL REPORTING DENSE FOG. WILL CLEAR FOG ADVISORIES FOR MOST AREAS BUT KEEP THEM FOR BARTHOLOMEW AND JENNINGS COUNTIES WHERE FOG IS STUBBORN AND NEAR CRITERIA. EVEN THESE COUNTIES SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE SOON AS DRIER AIR WORKS IN BEHIND 1ST FRONT. FOR THE TODAY PERIOD...COLD ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. CLOUDS ACROSS IA ARE HAVING A HARD TIME COMING SE...AND CLOUDS ACROSS WIL SHOULD MAINLY IMPACT AREAS NE OF THE FA. WILL ONLY GO PARTLY CLOUDY ACROSS NERN FA WITH MOSUNNY SW FA TODAY. TEMPS ARE RUNNING MILD AT THE MOMENT...BUT DO EXPECT SOME FALL THIS MORNING. FEBRUARY SUN SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW TEMPS TO REBOUND TO NEAR THE MAV NUMBERS MOST AREAS. THIS IS SIMILAR TO ONGOING FORECAST AND NAM 2M TEMPS. TONIGHT EXPECTING MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. MAV NUMBERS LOOK REASONABLE. ON FRIDAY SOME MID CLOUDS ARRIVE. LATEST MOS HAS COME IN MUCH COLDER THAN PREV FORECAST. WITH NE WINDS AND SOME PARTIAL SKY COVER...CAN SEE TEMPS A LITTLE COOLER THAN PREV FORECAST BUT NOT NECESSARILY AS COOL AS MOS. HAVE RAISED MAV NUMBERS MOST AREAS...ESPECIALLY NERN FA. IT NOW APPEARS THAT WARMER AIR WILL NOT MAKE IT AS FAR N AS PREV FORECAST AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM AS WINDS KEEP AN EASTERLY COMPONENT FOR A WHILE. WILL TRIM CURRENT FORECAST SOME...BUT AGAIN NOT NECESSARILY AS MUCH AS LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS. SREFS HOLD OFF ON PRECIP UNTIL SATURDAY AFTN AT THE EARLIEST...AND THIS LOOKS REASONABLE GIVEN EASTERLY COMPONENT OF WIND KEEPING LOW LEVELS DRY. WILL TIME RAIN CHANCES TO SAT AFTN. WITH WARMER AIR BEING HELD IN CHECK FOR NOW...TSRA CHANCES CONTINUE TO LOOK SLIM..ESPECIALLY NRN FA. HOWEVER A THIN WARM SECTOR COULD STILL SNEAK IN FOR SAT NIGHT. WILL KEEP THUNDER WORDING BUT CHANGE IT TO ISOLATED. STRONG WINDS ALOFT COULD STILL MIX DOWN SO SPC DAY 3 OUTLOOK LOOKS REASONABLE. HAVE ADDED CHANCES FOR RAIN AND SNOW SUN NIGHT AS SFC LOW LINGERS AND TEMPS COOL DOWN. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .IN...NONE. && AVIATION...CP SHORT/LONG TERM...CS
