NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 17, 11:55 PM EST, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1255 AM EDT SAT JUN 18 2011 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW && .SYNOPSIS... FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS THE BIG PLAYERS IN INDIANA WEATHER WILL BE A WARM FRONT STALLED OVER THE STATE AND HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PASS MIDWEEK. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/... THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS POPS. MOST OF THE MCS EARLIER THIS EVENING TRACKED SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA LEAVING ONLY SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES. SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL LOOKS TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AS WELL. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY RAPID REFRESH AND THE APPROACH OF A WARM FRONT FROM THE SOUTH. DECREASED CHANCES ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTH UNTIL 06Z. TEMPS... WINDS... AND CLOUD COVER ALL LOOKED TO BE ON TRACK. NO CHANGES WERE NECESSARY AT THIS POINT. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... PROBLEM OF DAY RAIN CHANCES. ALL MODELS AGREE FAVORABLE FOR MCS DEVELOPMENT FOR MUCH OF PERIOD WITH WARM FRONT LURKING OVER STATE. THE QUESTION IS JUST WHEN. GFS RESOLUTION IS COURSE FOR HANDLING MESOSCALE SYSTEMS WELL. HOWEVER NAM WANTS TO BRING IN SOME PRETTY COOL AIR BY SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT I DONT SEE WHERE IT COULD ORIGINATE. THE MIDDLE WAY OF THE SREF SEEMS BEST BET. THIS IMPLIES GOING ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN MET AND MAV. THOSE VALUES LOOK REASONABLE CONSIDERING THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE SITUATION. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... MODELS AGREE ABOUT ESSENTIALS. THAT IS...WARM HUMID AIR IN SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO MIDWEEK. COOLER BEHIND A FRONT LATER NEXT WEEK. BETWEEN THE WARM UNSTABLE AIR AT FIRST...AND THEN THE FRONT...WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOST OF THE TIME. I AM NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM HPC POPS ON THIS. TEMPERATURE FORECAST RELATIVELY SIMPLE EARLY IN PERIOD IN WARM FLOW. BASICALLY EXTRAPOLATING FROM WHAT IS IN SOUTHERN STATES NOW. BEGINNING WEDNESDAY THINGS GET MORE UNCERTAIN. MUCH DEPENDS ON TIMING OF INCOMING FRONT AND HARD TO BEAT MOS. HPC TEMPS SEEM TO CAPTURE THESE CONCEPTS. I DID NOT CHANGE THEIR GUIDANCE MUCH. && .AVIATION.../DISCUSSION FOR THE 180600Z TAFS/... SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS ILLINOIS AND ATTEMPT TO WORK THEIR WAY INTO INDIANA. FORCING REMAINS CONCENTRATED ACROSS SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA...SO BELIEVE KHUF AND KBMG HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT. WILL GO TEMPO SHOWERS AT KHUF AND KBMG WITH VCTS AND/OR CB MENTION SINCE ORGANIZED STORMS MAY REMAIN JUST SOUTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. WILL MONITOR CLOSELY AND AMEND AS NEEDED. AT KIND WILL GO WITH VCSH AND CB MENTION. KLAF LOOKS TO BE FAR ENOUGH NORTH FOR NO MENTION EARLY IN THE PERIOD. CLOUD COVER SHOULD KEEP MOST FOG AT BAY...BUT IF BREAKS DEVELOP MVFR FOG COULD RAPIDLY DEVELOP. OTHERWISE...COULD SEE SOME MORE STORMS AFTER DAYBREAK AND THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WITH VARIOUS UPPER WAVES MOVING EAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA AND INTERACTING WITH AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. TIMING AND COVERAGE IN QUESTION...SO WILL JUST GO WITH CB GROUPS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. CONDITIONS SHOULD BE VFR AND WINDS LESS THAN 15 KNOTS AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...JK NEAR TERM...AB/MK SHORT TERM...JK LONG TERM....JK AVIATION...50/MK
