AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 345 PM EDT SUN JUN 6 2010 .UPDATE... THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM...SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSING THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA THIS EVENING MAY PRODUCE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXPAND INTO THE REGION MAINTAINING COOL AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT THAT WENT THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING WILL RETURN AS A WARM FRONT FOR MIDWEEK...BRINGING A RETURN TO MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/... REFRESHING AIRMASS IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES HOVERING IN THE 70S WITH DEWPOINTS DOWN INTO THE 50S UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. ISOLATED CONVECTION HAD DEVELOPED IN VICINITY OF A SHORT WAVE AND SURFACE TROUGH OVER SOUTHERN WISCONSIN/NORTHERN ILLINOIS. FOCUS FOR NEAR TERM IS ON ISOLATED CONVECTION SNEAKING INTO NORTHERN COUNTIES THIS EVENING. HAVE LEANED TOWARDS A WRF/RUC/ RAPID REFRESH COMBO IN HANDLING APPROACH OF THE TROUGH AS ALL THREE MODELS ARE CATCHING THE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY ONGOING. MESOANALYSIS INDICATING A WEAK INSTABILITY AXIS PRESENT NEAR THE CONVECTION OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE SURFACE TROUGH SHOULD MIGRATE INTO THE NORTHERN COUNTIES TOWARDS SUNSET AS THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE PASSES THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA. WEAK MLCAPES TO NEAR 500 J/KG WILL FOLLOW THE TROUGH. WILL GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE ISOLATED POPS NORTH OF I-70 INTO THE EVENING HOURS. POTENTIAL FOR SOME SMALL HAIL WITH A FEW OF THE SHOWERS/STORMS AS WBZEROS PROGGED BETWEEN 7 AND 8KFT. CONVECTION SHOULD QUICKLY DIE OFF AFTER SUNSET AS HEATING IS LOST. SKIES WILL BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. TEMPS...TRENDED TOWARDS SLIGHTLY COOLER MET GUIDANCE FOR LOWS AS SURFACE GRADIENT SLACKENS LATE AND SOME CLEARING WILL DEVELOP. TEMPS SHOULD MAKE IT INTO THE LOWER AND MID 50S FOR MOST. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... FOLLOWED SREF FOR SHORT TERM AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY BRINGS A RETURN TO UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR CENTRAL INDIANA TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. INITIALLY THOUGH...HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY N/NE FLOW WILL KEEP COOL AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. MAY SEE MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS INCREASE FROM THE WEST AS THE DAY PROGRESSES COURTESY OF REMNANTS OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS APPROACH. AIRMASS WILL REMAIN DRY ENOUGH THROUGH THE BOUNDARY LAYER TO PRECLUDE ANY PRECIPITATION MONDAY EVENING AS CLOUDS INCREASE. LOW PRESSURE WILL EJECT OUT OF THE ROCKIES MONDAY NIGHT AND PULL THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT CAME THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT. A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IS PROGGED TO ORGANIZE OVER NEBRASKA AND IOWA LATE MONDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET ESTABLISHES AND PUMPS DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE BOUNDARY. MODEL GUIDANCE IN FAIR AGREEMENT IN TRACKING THIS COMPLEX INTO WESTERN FORECAST AREA AROUND DAYBREAK TUESDAY...AND ACROSS THE REGION IN SOME FASHION THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HAVE MAINTAINED LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS FOR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AS DEEP MOISTURE AND STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS COMBINE WITH FORCING ALOFT TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AT THIS POINT IN TIME AS TO THE EXTENT OF ANY SEVERE WEATHER TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH MUCH OF THE REGION NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT ALL DAY...THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED IN NATURE WITH AVAILABLE INSTABILITY REMAINING ELEVATED AS WELL. APPEARS TO BE A MUCH LARGER CONCERN FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AS PWATS CLIMB TO NEAR 2 INCHES IN THE SOUTH BY TUESDAY EVENING. CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY IN THE FORM OF ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX...AS A SECOND WAVE RIDES THE QUASI- STATIONARY BOUNDARY JUST NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. THE ARRIVAL OF THE LOW WILL PROMPT A STRENGTHENING OF THE LOW LEVEL JET TO 45-50KTS WHICH SHOULD FUEL ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL. WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGH POPS ALL NIGHT. SOME HINTS THAT A WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WOULD BE POSSIBLE THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY SHOULD THE BOUNDARY ALIGN OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY. TEMPS...WENT JUST A TOUCH COOLER THAN MOS GUIDANCE FOR MONDAY AS APPROACHING MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL LIKELY KEEP MANY LOCATIONS IN THE MID 70S. WITH EXPECTED CLOUDS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY STRUGGLE TO GET ANY HIGHER THAN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S. THIS ENDED UP CLOSE TO MOS. NEAR MOS GUIDANCE FOR LOWS MON/TUES NIGHTS AS MET LOOKED TOO COOL. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... MODELS ARE NOW COMING TOGETHER ON TIMING AND STRENGTH OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN...SO WILL USE A BLEND. THE MODELS START OFF WITH A RELATIVELY FLAT RIDGE ACROSS THE NATION'S MID SECTION ON WEDNESDAY WITH PACIFIC MOISTURE AS THEY ALSO SLIDE A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM THROUGH. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO LEAVE SMALL POPS IN WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BY THURSDAY NIGHT...THE MODELS AGREE ON AMPLIFYING THE UPPER RIDGE AND MOVING IT ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS AND GREAT LAKES WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. BY FRIDAY...MODELS ALL BRING DISTURBANCES OVERTOP THE UPPER RIDGE AND ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES. ALTHOUGH MODELS HAVE TIMING AND PLACEMENT DIFFERENCES REGARDING THESE VARIOUS DISTURBANCES...THE END RESULT SHOULD BE AN UNSETTLED PERIOD...SO HAVE POPS IN FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SO NO REASON WHY SOUTHWEST FORECAST AREA WONT HIT 90 BY FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUILDING RIDGE. && .AVIATION.../061800Z TAFS/... VFR CEILINGS TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON PER SATELLITE AND OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS. EXPECT...THE CLOUDS TO SCATTER TONIGHT WITH ADDITIONAL SCATTERED TO BROKEN DIURNAL VFR CEILINGS ON MONDAY. NORTHWEST SHOULD CONTINUE TO GUST TO 20 KNOTS BEFORE WEAKENING AFTER 21Z AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS. WINDS TONIGHT SHOULD BE LIGHT TO NORTHWEST TO CALM AND IT SHOULD BE DRY ENOUGH AT THE NEAR SURFACE TO KEEP THE VISIBILITY UNRESTRICTED. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...RYAN NEAR TERM...RYAN SHORT TERM...RYAN LONG TERM....KOCH AVIATION...KOCH
