NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 21, 11:18 PM EST, 2 hours 31 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1218 AM EDT FRI JUN 22 2007 .AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 220600Z TAF ISSUANCE. INSTABILITY AXIS EXTENDS FM WC IND BACK INTO WRN IL. CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CURRENTLY OVR NW IL SHOULD MORE OR LESS HOLD TOGETHER OVERNIGHT AIDED BY AN UPPER DISTURBANCE AND A LLJ AS IT MOVES SEWD ALONG INSTABILITY AXIS. AREA OF SCT-BKN CB COVERAGE XPCTD TO BEGIN AFFECTING THE KHUF/KLAF TERMINALS ARND 220700Z...AND THE KIND-KBMG TERMINALS ARND 220800Z. BRIEF IFR CONDS LIKELY IN THE HEAVIER SHWRS. INITIAL AREA OF CONVECTION XPCTD TO LAST A COUPLE OF HRS AT ANY ONE PARTICULAR LOCATION...HOWEVER WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE LLJ...THINK CONVECTIVE THREAT WL REMAIN RATHER HIGH ACRS THE TERMINALS TIL THE MID MORN HRS ON FRI. UPPR SUPPORT SHOULD PASS OFF TO THE E BY 221500Z...SO ANY PCPN SHOULD END BY THEN. OUTSIDE OF THE CONVECTIVE AREAS...CIGS/VSBYS LOOK PRETTY GOOD. && .PREV DISCUSSION...FCST FOCUS ON TEMPS/PRECIP CHCS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TAKING A STEP BACK AND LOOKING AT THE LARGER PICTURE...WATER VAPOR SHOWS A TROUGH DIGGING INTO NEW ENGLAND WITH A RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. BETWEEN THE TWO WE HAVE 50KT 500MB NW FLOW WITH UPPER SHORT WAVES INDICATED ACROSS NORTHERN ROCKIES/NORTHERN PLAINS. A 70-90KT UPPER JET STREAK IS ALSO INDICATED ACROSS MN/WI THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE SHOULD DROP SE AND ENHANCE THE 850MB WINDS/LLJ ACROSS IL/IA/WI OVERNIGHT. FOCUSING ON THE MESOSCALE WE SEE A SFC COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTH INTO NORTHERN IN THIS AFTERNOON. WIDELY SCT TSRA ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EASTERN GRT LAKES MORE DUE TO LAKE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. AIR MASS ACROSS CENTRAL IN REMAINS DRY AND SOMEWHAT STABLE. 12Z ILX SOUNDING INDICATED A STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION IN THE 650-775MB LEVEL. IN THE ABSENCE OF STRONGER FORCING (LLJ) THIS CAP WILL BE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME. MODELS REMAIN IN DISAGREEMENT ON TIMING AND LOCATION OF PRECIP. NAM IS WETTER WHILE THE GFS SUGGESTS LOWER RAIN CHCS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. REASON FOR THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE WAVE NOW ACROSS MT. GFS WEAKENS THIS FEATURE AND ASSOCIATED WIND FIELDS WHICH WOULD LIMIT WAA/LIFT ESPECIALLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS. WE WILL NOT DEVIATE TOO FAR FROM THE GOING FCST WHICH ENDS UP A BLEND OF GFS/NAM BOTH FOR PRECIP AND TEMPS. TONIGHT...70-90KT UPPER JET STREAK WILL SLIDE INTO THE OH VALLEY. 20-35KT LLJ SHOULD INCREASE HOWEVER THE STRONGEST THETAE ADVECTION STAYS NW OF THE AREA. THE FCST POSITION OF THE LLJ ACROSS MO/IA/IL/WI IS ALSO NOT FAVORABLE FOR DEEP CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS INDIANA. 850-300MB THICKNESSES/STORM MOTION DOES FCST THAT ANY STORMS ACROSS WI WOULD ATTEMPT TO MOVE TOWARD CENTRAL INDIANA. HOWEVER AGAIN...DEPTH OF BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE REMAINS SHALLOW ACROSS OUR AREA. SCENARIO EXPECTED REMAINS THAT ONE OR TWO MCS DEVELOP ACROSS IA/WI AND MAKE A SE TURN INTO INDIANA AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. BEST RAIN CHCS WOULD OCCUR AFTER 06Z AND STAY NW OF THE METRO AREA. FRI...REMNANT PRECIP FROM A DECAYING COMPLEX MAY IMPACT THE CWA DURING THE MORNING HOURS. FIRST GUESS IS THAT THE AFTERNOON HOURS MAY SEE LESS COVERAGE OF PRECIP AS LLJ/FORCING WEAKENS AND CLDS KEEP TEMPS/INSTABILITY IN CHECK. SFC BOUNDARY WILL SAG INTO THE CWA AND THIS SHOULD ALSO KEEP TEMPS CLOSER TO UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S. FRI NIGHT...NAM SUGGESTS THAT THE UPPER WAVE ACROSS MT REMAINS VIGOROUS WITH STRONGER 850MB WINDS AND FORCING FOR ADDITIONAL PRECIP. GFS IS MUCH WEAKER AND ESSENTIALLY ENDS PRECIP CHCS AFTER FRI. LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO FRI NIGHT SO WE WILL KEEP RAIN CHCS AS IS WITH 30-50 POPS. SAT AND BEYOND...INFLUENCE OF THE WEAKENING UPPER SYSTEM MAY PERSIST INTO SAT/SAT NIGHT ACCORDING TO THE NAM. GFS IS DRY GIVEN THE WEAKER SOLUTION. WE WILL NOT CHANGE THE FCST GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE UPPER SYSTEM LOCATION AND STRENGTH AT THIS POINT. HTS WILL BUILD SUN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH DAYTIME TEMPS EXPECTED BACK INTO THE 90 TO 95F RANGE MON/TUES WITH SOME HOPE OF COOLER CONDS BY MID/LATE WEEK. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
