AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 251 PM EDT SAT JUN 12 2010 .UPDATE... THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM...SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. PERIODIC CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO CONTINUE AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE REGION. THE FRONT WILL FINALLY DROP SOUTH OF THE REGION BY TUESDAY NIGHT. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/... THUNDERSTORMS ARE FIRING QUICKLY IN VICINITY OF AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY GRAZING THE NORTHWEST FORECAST AREA AT 18Z. EVEN WITH THE RAIN AND EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER EARLIER THIS MORNING...TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED QUICKLY AS SKIES HAVE BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY. MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA HAS CLIMBED WELL INTO THE 80S...WITH LOWER 90S OVER FAR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES. COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S...CONDITIONS ARE EXTREMELY OPPRESSIVE THIS AFTERNOON. ALL SORTS OF ITEMS TO TALK ABOUT IN THE NEAR TERM. MAIN FOCUS REMAINS ON THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL AND CONCERNS FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL. SECONDARY FOCUS ALSO ON FIRST HEAT HEADLINES OF THE YEAR IN SOUTHWEST FORECAST AREA WHERE HEAT INDICES ARE NEAR OR JUST ABOVE 100 DEGREES. HAVE LARGELY TRENDED TOWARDS BULK OF THE NEAR TERM GUIDANCE AVAILABLE LED BY THE RAPID REFRESH AND THE RUC. AS MENTIONED...CONVECTION HAS BEGUN TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE FORECAST AREA AS CONVECTIVE TEMPS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED. MESOANALYSIS INDICATING THAT COMBINATION OF DIURNAL HEATING AND MOISTURE CONTRIBUTING TO HIGH INSTABILITY VALUES...WITH AN AXIS OF MLCAPES NOW AROUND 3000 J/KG AND SBCAPES APPROACHING 4000 J/KG INTO WESTERN COUNTIES. WITH CURRENT CONVECTION DEVELOPING ON EDGE OF SLIGHTLY HIGHER BL SHEAR VALUES NEAR 30KTS...SHOULD SEE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH POSSIBILITY FOR CONVECTION TO EXPAND SOUTHEAST FURTHER INTO THE FORECAST AREA. CURRENT RADAR AND VISIBLE SATELLITE BOTH HINT AT A LEFTOVER BOUNDARY FROM MORNING STORMS EXTENDING FROM NW TO SE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TO CONVECTION OVER SOUTHERN OHIO AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY. THIS MAY SERVE AS AN ADDITIONAL ENHANCER FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST CAPABLE OF WET MICROBURSTS WITH POSSIBLE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS INTO THE EVENING OVER NORTHERN HALF OF FORECAST AREA WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER POPS FURTHER SOUTH. WITH LOSS OF HEATING ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN...CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. HOWEVER...PRESENCE OF WEAK RIPPLES OF ENERGY RIDING THROUGH THE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND DEEP MOISTURE WITH PWATS REMAINING IN VICINITY OF 2 INCHES ALL NIGHT. ANY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL NOT ONLY THIS AFTERNOON BUT OVERNIGHT AND MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING. GREATEST SUSCEPTIBILITY FOR FLOODING AT THIS POINT IN TIME LOOKS TO BE SOUTHEAST OF THE INDY METRO WHERE NEARLY 2 INCHES FELL EARLY THIS MORNING AND FFG VALUES ARE NOW QUITE LOW. NO PLANS TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS POINT IN TIME BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR CLOSELY. WILL MAINTAIN HIGH CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT. HEAT ADVISORY WILL RUN UNTIL 23Z FOR EXPECTED HEAT INDICES BETWEEN 100 AND 105 DEGREES OVER SOUTHWEST COUNTIES. AS TEMPERATURES FALL BACK THROUGH THE 80S...HEAT INDICES WILL DROP BELOW ADVISORY LEVEL THIS EVENING. TEMPS...CONSIDERING THE CURRENT DEWPOINTS...WARMER MOS GUIDANCE LOOKS REASONABLE FOR LOWS TONIGHT. LOW TO MID 70S WILL BE COMMON BY SUNDAY MORNING. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON RAIN CHANCES AND PLACEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY...AND THE SUBSEQUENT IMPACTS TO TEMPS. HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE SREF FOR MOST OF THE MAIN DETAILS THROUGH THE PERIOD. STAGNANT PATTERN AS DEEP UPPER TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WITH STRONG RIDGING ALOFT CENTERED JUST SOUTH OF CENTRAL INDIANA. THIS WILL KEEP THE REGION ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE...MAINTAINING A CONTINUED SURGE OF DEEP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND NOT ALLOWING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO PROGRESS ANY FURTHER SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN CHANGES. THE TROUGH IN THE WEST WILL BEGIN TO LIFT OUT MONDAY AND AS IT DOES...THE RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN. THE RESULT SHOULD BE A SLOW BUT STEADY MOVEMENT SOUTH TO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY...POSSIBLY DROPPING SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER BY TUESDAY NIGHT. FORECAST WILL LARGELY REMAIN UNCHANGED UNTIL THAT POINT IN TIME...WITH CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT ANY TIME DURING THE SHORT TERM. WHILE MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE MAIN FEATURES...THE DETAILS ARE FUZZY IN SUCH AN UNSETTLED PATTERN. HAVE INSERTED LIKELY POPS ONLY ON SUNDAY NIGHT WHERE MODEL CONSENSUS FAVORING A SURFACE WAVE TO RIDE THE BOUNDARY AS IT DROPS INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THE PRESENCE OF THE LOW SHOULD ENABLE A GREATER COVERAGE OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE REGION AND HENCE MY CONFIDENCE IS A BIT HIGHER IN POPS AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE...WILL KEEP POPS AT 40-50 THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM. WHILE SEVERE THREAT LOOKS GREATEST ON SUNDAY AS THE FRONT SIDLES INTO THE REGION...POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO BE SEVERE ESSENTIALLY EXISTS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. DAMAGING WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL A POSSIBILITY AS WELL. WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE AIRMASS EXPECTED UNTIL THE FRONT CAN MAKE A MORE CONCERTED PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA LATER ON TUESDAY. WITH PWATS REMAINING NEAR 2 INCHES...STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND HAVE MAINTAINED A HEAVY RAIN MENTION IN THE ZONES/GRIDS THROUGH MONDAY. TEMPS...WITH SUCH UNCERTAINTY ON TIMING OF PRECIP AND CLOUDS... FORECASTING HIGHS SUNDAY AND MONDAY REMAIN TRICKY. WITH THE LOW CONFIDENCE...FEEL BEST COURSE IS TO HOLD VERY CLOSE TO MOS GUIDANCE BOTH DAYS. THIS COULD MEAN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME AREAS SOUTH OF I-70 TO MAKE A RUN INTO THE LOWER 90S...ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY. WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN THE 70S HEAT HEADLINES MAY BE NEEDED ONCE AGAIN SUNDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. WENT SLIGHTLY COOLER MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH THE BOUNDARY IN THE AREA. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... MODELS GENERALLY CONCUR ABOUT WEAK FRONT REMAINING OVER AREA INTO THURSDAY. THEN IT WILL BE PUSHED TO THE NORTH AS BERMUDA HIGH MOVES IN AND ESTABLISHES A VERY WARM HUMID FLOW. BASED ON RECENT HISTORY...TEMPERATURES IN THE AIR WE WILL BE IN SHOULD BE NEAR HIGH END OF ENSEMBLE MOS. THIS ABOUT A CATEGORY WARMER THAN HPC ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...BUT CLOSE TO THEM LATER IN THE PERIOD. CHANCE POPS INTO THURSDAY DUE TO ACTION OF FRONT. THEN A LITTLE DRIER WITH BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION DURING DAYTIME PERIODS AS HIGH MOVES IN. WILL BE CLOSE TO HPC ON THE POPS. && .AVIATION.../FOR 131800Z TAFS/... MODELS CONCUR FRONT TO REMAIN JUST TO NORTH OF CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD. LIGHT BUT EXTREMELY HUMID SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUING OVER AREA. THUNDERSTORMS MAY FORM ALMOST ANY TIME BUT BEST CHANCE WILL BE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HEAVY RAIN REDUCING BOTH CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES TO IFR POSSIBLE IN STORMS. OTHERWISE...CEILINGS WILL RISE FROM MVFR TO VFR BY LATE AFTERNOON AS MIXING OCCURS. THEY SHOULD STAY VFR INTO SUNDAY SINCE MOIST LAYER IS DEEP AND CLOUDS WILL TEND TO FORM NEAR TOP OF IT. VISIBILITIES SHOULD STAY 6SM OR HIGHER UNTIL AROUND 08Z...THEN FOG WILL FORM. LOWEST VISIBILITIES WILL BE AROUND 3SM SINCE CLOUDS SHOULD PREVENT IT FROM GETTING VERY DENSE. VISIBILITIES RECOVERING TO 6SM OR BETTER BY MID MORNING. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... HEAT ADVISORY UNTIL 7 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR INZ060-061-067>069. && SYNOPSIS...RYAN NEAR TERM...RYAN SHORT TERM...RYAN LONG TERM....KWIATKOWSKI AVIATION...KWIATKOWSKI
