AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
650 AM EDT FRI JUN 10 2011

.UPDATE...
AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE BACK NORTH TODAY. THEN...ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE
SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. THE
FRONTS WILL INTERACT WITH AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS. THEN...AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF
DRY WEATHER LATE IN THE WEEKEND...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES RETURN EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS THE FRONT RETURNS NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY.
THE HEAT WAVE SHOULD BE ENDING BY SUNDAY AS TEMPERATURES FALL TO
NEAR NORMAL BEHIND THE SECOND COLD FRONT.

HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. BY
THURSDAY...A FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE
AREA. THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO OSCILLATE BACK AND FORTH
THROUGH THE AREA INTO SATURDAY...BEFORE GETTING A SHOVE SOUTH OF THE
OHIO RIVER AS HIGH PRESSURE DROPS SOUTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
THIS FRONT WILL BEGIN RETURNING BACK TO THE NORTH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
FRONTAL SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA EXPECTED TO DRIFT BACK TO THE NORTH DURING THE DAY TODAY.
MODELS SUGGEST SOME GENERAL LIFT ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING...SO POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME CONVECTION TO DEVELOP EARLY
THIS MORNING. APPEARS THE LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER IOWA AND
NORTHWEST ILLINOIS SHOULD FOR THE MOST PART HEAD TOWARDS THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION CLOSER TO THE POSITION OF THE LOW
LEVEL JET...ALTHOUGH SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY BRUSH THE NORTHWEST
ZONES AFTER SUNRISE.

OTHERWISE...SUBTLE UPPER WAVE...POSSIBLY RESULTING FROM THE COMPLEX
OVER IOWA...EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS MAY TRIGGER ADDITIONAL CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA
LATER TODAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS ALL AREAS TODAY. STRONG
INSTABILITY EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER TODAY UNDERNEATH VERY STEEP
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...COMBINED WITH RETREATING WARM FRONT SUGGEST
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS...ALTHOUGH DEEP LAYER SHEAR NOT
PARTICULARLY STRONG. HEAVY RAIN ALSO A THREAT WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATERS AROUND 1.50 INCHES.

PROGGED LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUGGEST THE GFS MOS HIGHS TODAY LOOK
REASONABLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODEL DATA SUGGEST SHORT WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY ENTERING THE NORTHERN
PLAINS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...AND
EVENTUALLY INTO NEW ENGLAND BY SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL HELP IN
SHOVING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH ABOUT THE
MIDDAY HOURS ON SATURDAY. WILL KEEP POPS GOING TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
WITH THE HIGHEST POPS TONIGHT IN THE NORTH CLOSEST TO LOW LEVEL JET
AND UPPER SUPPORT AND THE HIGHEST POPS ON SATURDAY IN THE SOUTHEAST
WHERE THE GREATEST INSTABILITY WILL BE. APPEARS THREAT OF CONVECTION
MAY TAIL OFF DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS AIR MAS BEGINS TO STABILIZE
IN THE WAKE OF FRONTAL PASSAGE.

NO POPS ANTICIPATED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AS A
DRY STABLE AIR MASS ADVECTS INTO THE AREA.

PROGGED LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUGGEST THE GFS MOS HIGHS FOR SATURDAY
MAY BE A FEW DEGREES TOO WARM. WILL NUDGE DOWN THE HIGHS A BIT
THERE. THE HIGHS ON SUNDAY LOOK OK. THE GFS MOS LOWS TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY NIGHT LOOK OK AS WELL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

LONG RANGE MODELS STILL A WAYS APART REGARDING THE TIMING OF THE
RETURN OF SATURDAY'S COLD FRONT BACK NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE OHIO
VALLEY. THUS...CONFIDENCE LOW ON TIMING AND COVERAGE OF
THUNDERSTORMS NEXT WEEK. AGREE WITH HPC THAT SUNDAY SHOULD BE DRY
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE AND OTHERWISE LOWEST CHANCES WOULD SEEM TO BE
MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH THE FRONT LIKELY TO BE FAR ENOUGH TO THE
SOUTHWEST...HOWEVER WITH MODELS NOT WELL IN SINK OR
CONSISTENT...WILL NOT MAKE ANY BIG CHANGES AND JUST KEEP SMALL POPS
IN EACH PERIOD NEXT WEEK AND FINE TUNE AS IT GETS CLOSER.
ALSO...MODELS DO SHOW A FEW SHORT WAVES DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA OVERTOP A MISSISSIPPI VALLEY UPPER RIDGE...SO WOULD
HATE TO CUT POPS MONDAY AND TUESDAY JUST TO HAVE TO ADD THEM BACK.
HPC TEMPERATURES ARE SEVERAL DEGREES LOWER THAN PREVIOUS
FORECASTS...SO WILL NOT GO QUITE AS LOW. OVERALL...NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES LOOK GOOD.

&&

.AVIATION.../DISCUSSION FOR 12Z TAF/...

MOSTLY VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. HOWEVER BRIEFLY LOWER CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE AS THUNDERSTORMS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS BY THIS AFTERNOON.
FOR THIS MORNING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE RULE ALONG AND
EAST OF KLAF AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ELSEWHERE.

A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA WILL MOVE NORTH.  AIR
MASS WILL BECOME MORE UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH DAYTIME HEATING
CAUSING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO OCCUR OVER MOST SECTIONS BY THIS
AFTERNOON AS MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWS CAPES OF UP TO 3000 J/KG.  FOR
NOW WILL HANDLE WITH VCTS IN TAFS AS TIMING WILL BE DIFFICULT.

WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH THIS
EVENING LEAVING MOSTLY SCATTERED TO BROKEN MID/HIGH OVERNIGHT.

NAM SUGGESTS A SHORT WAVE WORKING ACROSS THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT...AFTER 06Z...CAUSING A CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY.  A COLD FRONT WILL ALSO BE MOVING
INTO OUR REGION BY THAT TIME.
