AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 626 AM EDT SUN JUN 19 2011 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... AN ACTIVE...CHANGEABLE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT WORK WEEK. A LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER ILLINOIS AND INDIANA WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH EARLY THIS WEEK. ON MONDAY...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH NORTH AS LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL ALLOW MUCH WARMER AND VERY HUMID AIR TO SURGE INTO CENTRAL INDIANA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL REACH AROUND 90 AT MANY SPOTS...WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. A COLD FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...BRINGING CHANCES FOR MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS. AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ACROSS INDIANA ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...DRY WEATHER APPEARS MOST LIKELY THEN. && .NEAR TERM /TODAY/... BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS...STORMS SEEM TO BE VERY SLOWLY PROPAGATING EASTWARD INTO EASTERN ILLINOIS...CAUSING FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS. PLAN ON ADDING HEAVY RAINFALL WORDING (MAINLY TO SOUTHERN COUNTIES) TO GRIDS ALONG WITH HITTING THE FLOOD THREAT A LITTLE HARDER IN OTHER PRODUCTS. RADAR IS QUIET ACROSS INDIANA ATTM...BUT MORE CONVECTION BECKONS TO OUR SW ACROSS MO AND WESTERN IL. A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY POP UP AHEAD OF THIS COMPLEX OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS BUT THE BULK OF ACTIVITY WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL CLOSER TO 12Z THIS MORNING. AND ACCORDINGLY SPC CONTINUES TO PLACE US UNDER A SLIGHT RISK WITH DAMAGING WINDS/LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAINFALL THE MAIN THREATS. BULK OF THE SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE MOVES THIS CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA THROUGH TODAY..SO PAINTED IN HIGHER (LIKELY POPS) ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES TO 30-40% FARTHER NORTH. SOUNDINGS SHOW A WEAK CAP BUT BELIEVE FORCING WILL BE GREAT ENOUGH TO BREAK THIS. BACKED OFF SLIGHTLY ON HIGH TEMPS CONSIDERING THE ADDITIONAL CLOUDS AND PRECIP. HIGHS 82-88. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... TONIGHT LOOKS DRIER WITH ONLY SOME LINGERING CHANCES ACROSS THE FAR SE COUNTIES. STRONGER WARM AIR ADVECTION BEGINS AS RIDGING ALOFT CONTINUES TO BUILD ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW HIGH CAPE IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG AND LI/S NEAR -6/-7...HOWEVER CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE TOO WARM (MID 90S) AND 700MB TEMPERATURES ARE CLOSE TO 10C...PROVIDING A CAPPING EFFECT. THIS MAY BE THE SET UP FOR MONDAY AS WELL...A VERY WARM BUT CAPPED COLUMN...EXCEPT FOR NORTH OF I-70 WHERE CAP APPEARS WEAKER. ADDED CHANCE POPS HERE...AND SPC SHOWS MUCH OF CENTRAL INDIANA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK. THE ENTIRE AREA SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY CAPPED BY MON NIGHT SO KEPT FORECAST DRY DURING THIS TIME. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... ECMWF AND GFS AGREE IN ON MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS AN UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW AND RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL INDIANA. GIVEN THE VERY WARM AND MOIST FLOW..AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY...BUT VERY WARM 700MB TEMPERATURE NEAR 10C MAY PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT CAP TO PREVENT PRECIPITATION. AS THE LOW EDGES AND COLD FRONT TOWARD INDIANA ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...HAVE INCLUDED PRECIPITATION CHANCES THEN AS THE CAP SHOULD BE WEAKENED BY THE APPROACHING DYNAMICS. GIVE THE WARM AND HUMID FLOW HAVE TRENDED TEMPERATURES TO THE WARMER SIDE OF MEXMOS. DURING THE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY TIME FRAME...THE GFS AND ECMWF PUSH THE COLD FRONT ACROSS INDIANA AS THE LOW PULLS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL CERTAINLY BE THE BEST WINDOW FOR PRECIPITATION AS EARLIER RAIN APPEAR MORE DAYTIME HEATING DRIVEN AND THIS EVENT WILL HAVE PLENTY OF DYNAMICS...NOT TO MENTION THE VERY MOIST AIR MASS IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AND WILL USE A DRY FORECAST FOR NOW. HOWEVER ECMWF AND GFS DISAGREE ON LINGERING MOISTURE IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT AND THE STRENGTH OF THE SUBSIDENCE AS THE HIGH BUILDS IN THE REGION. GIVEN THE COOLER AND DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW EXPECTED HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP PRECIPITATION OUT FOR NOW. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 191200Z TAFS/... AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO IMPACT MOST SITES EARLY IN THE PERIOD. STILL PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY ON HOW THE STORMS NORTH OF THE BOW ECHO WILL BEHAVE...BUT FOR NOW WILL GO WITH A TEMPO AT ALL BUT KLAF FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS OF THE PERIOD. DEPENDING ON HOW STORMS ACROSS WESTERN ILLINOIS DEVELOP...STORMS MAY LAST LONGER THAN 14/15Z...SO WILL KEEP VCTS MENTION UNTIL 18Z OR SO. ATMOSPHERE SHOULD THEN NEED TIME TO RECOVER...THEN ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY DEVELOP IN THE WARM AFTERNOON. THUS WILL CONTINUE CB MENTION. MORE STORMS MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AGAIN...SO WILL KEEP CB MENTION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. MVFR FOG WILL DEVELOP AGAIN TONIGHT DUE TO RECENT RAINS. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...PUMA/SMF NEAR TERM...SMF SHORT TERM...SMF LONG TERM....PUMA AVIATION...50
