AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1118 AM EDT FRI JUN 11 2010 .UPDATE... THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHES THE REGION. CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A COLD FRONT STALLS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. && .NEAR TERM /THIS AFTERNOON/... ARRIVAL OF A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AS THE WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED INTO LOWER MICHIGAN AND NORTHWEST OHIO. TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE LOWER AND MID 80S AS OF 15Z WITH DEWPOINTS SURGING INTO THE 70S. FORECAST FOCUS IS ON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON. UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER NORTHERN ARKANSAS WITH A COLD FRONT WELL BACK TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE REGION. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND WILL APPROACH THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH CURRENT TEMPERATURES ALREADY CLOSE TO CONVECTIVE TEMPS...ANTICIPATE AN INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. INITIAL FOCUS OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE MID LEVEL FORCING APPROACHING WITH THE UPPER LOW. HOWEVER...LAPS SOUNDINGS INDICATING A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WITH MLCAPES AT OR JUST ABOVE 2000 J/KG. STORMS WILL BE OF A PULSE VARIETY THIS AFTERNOON IN THIS AIRMASS...AND NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT A FEW MAY PRODUCE AN ISOLATED WET MICROBURST. HOWEVER...BL SHEAR VALUES ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER. THE MAIN CONCERN FROM THE STORMS WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND LOTS OF LIGHTNING. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE ALREADY APPROACHING 2 INCHES ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION AND WITH STORM MOTIONS FORECAST TO REMAIN LESS THAN 15KTS FOR THE BULK OF THE REST OF THE DAY...SOME LOCATIONS WILL SEE A QUICK 1 TO 2 INCHES. ZONE AND GRID UPDATES OUT. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING/... ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION LATE FRIDAY NIGHT/SAT MORNING. GFS/NAM/EURO CONTINUE TO BE IN AGREEMENT IN REGARD TO THE TRACK OF THE LOW...WITH THE STRONGEST PART MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA. THE GEM WAS THE OUTLYING MODEL...SO DISREGARDED IT. LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE SHOWING THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY FROM SAT 12Z- 20Z. SO...BUMPED POPS UP TO 60 PERCENT ON SAT MORN/EARLY AFTERNOON. IT IS ALSO STARTING TO LOOK MORE LIKE A FLOOD ADVISORY IS GOING TO BE NEEDED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA. MODELS ARE NOW PREDICTING AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO 3 INCH RANGE. THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH ON SUNDAY...RESULTING IN MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...THE FRONT WILL BRING TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S ON MONDAY. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH THE WARM FRONT ACROSS THE AREA...SO WENT WITH UPPER 80S FOR THE HIGHS...AND LOW 70S FOR LOWS. TOMORROW AND SUNDAY...THE NAM BECOMES MUCH COOLER THAN GFS AND SREF. LIKED THE GFS/SREF WITH THE WARM AIR STILL IN PLACE BEHIND THE FRONT. MODELS SLOWLY START COMING INTO AGREEMENT WITH COLD FRONT ON MONDAY...SO WENT WITH A BLEND. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND CONTINUED CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL STILL BE IN PLAY FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE EXTENDED. NEWER MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME IN HOLDING THE BOUNDARY FURTHER NORTH DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK BEFORE FINALLY DROPPING SOUTH LATER ON TUESDAY. ENOUGH OF A CONSENSUS TO JUSTIFY KEEPING PRECIP CHANCES IN SUNDAY NIGHT AND ADDING THEM FOR MONDAY AND INTO TUESDAY AS WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE RIDE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. MUCH TOO EARLY TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAIL AS TIMING OF THE WAVES AND SPECIFIC LOCATION OF THE BOUNDARY DIFFER DEPENDING ON THE MODEL. THE MAIN POINT TO TAKE AWAY THOUGH IS THAT THE BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN CLOSE ENOUGH TO WARRANT CHANCE POPS INTO TUESDAY. BEYOND THIS POINT...ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE HAS BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH EXPANDING A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. WILL KEEP DRY CONDITIONS IN THE FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S FOR MOST EARLY IN THE WEEK...WITH A WARMING TREND TOWARDS THE END OF THE EXTENDED AS THE UPPER RIDGE ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND NORTH ONCE AGAIN AND SOUTHERLY WINDS PUMP MORE HUMID AIR BACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. LOWS WILL LARGELY REMAIN IN THE 60S THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 110600Z TAFS/... WARM FRONT HAS MOVED TO AROUND LOUISVILLE TO TERRE HAUTE AT 10Z THIS MORNING...WHILE THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WAS WELL NORTHEAST OF THE TERMINALS. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TODAY AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHEAST OF THE TAF SITES EARLY. HOWEVER...THERE COULD BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THIS AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY ACROSS ARKANSAS SPREADS NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY. EXPECT ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING AS THE DISTURBANCE GRADUALLY SLIDES NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TODAY BUT PERHAPS SOME MVFR AFTER 00Z TONIGHT PER MODELS AND UPSTREAM CURRENT CONDITIONS ACROSS PARTS OF ARKANSAS AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA. OTHERWISE...WILL JUST GO WITH VCTS AND CB'S AFTER 18Z AS INSTABILITY WILL BE PLENTY THROUGH THE PERIOD. SOUTH WINDS BELOW 15 KNOTS WILL STAY ABOVE 5 KNOTS OVERNIGHT WHICH SHOULD KEEP VISIBILTIES P6SM. THEN...WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST ON SATURDAY MORNING. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...RYAN NEAR TERM...RYAN SHORT TERM...TDUD LONG TERM....RYAN AVIATION...MK
