THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL RETURN TO CENTRAL INDIANA TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY AS A WARM FRONT ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS LIFTS GRADUALLY NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SLIDES SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA MONDAY NIGHT. THEN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ALLOWING FOR DRY WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/... MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IS BEING SLOWLY FORCED OUT TO THE EAST. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S AS OF 02Z. DRY AIR REMAINS PRESENT THROUGH THE BOUNDARY LAYER...WITH RAIN SHOWERS GRADUALLY DIMINISHING AS THEY ENTER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL CHANGE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS NOCTURNAL LOW LEVEL JET PRESENT OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY CURRENTLY MIGRATES EAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THE JET HAS BECOME FIRMLY ESTABLISHED OVER THE LAST TWO HOURS...AND COMBINED WITH A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE...HAS HELPED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO SEPARATE AREAS OF CONVECTION OVER WESTERN ILLINOIS IN THE VICINITY OF A DIFFUSE WARM FRONT. RECENT SATELLITE TRENDS SUPPORTIVE OF TWO AREAS OF STORMS GRADUALLY BECOMING ONE LARGE MCS OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF ILLINOIS WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. MESOANALYSIS PLACES DEEPEST AXIS OF PRECIPITABLE WATER FROM CENTRAL ILLINOIS SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA. AN ELEVATED INSTABILITY AXIS COINCIDES WITH THE MOISTURE AS WELL. ANTICIPATE CONVECTION TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE AND MIGRATE E/SE INTO THE LOWER WABASH VALLEY BY 03-04Z. CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT...FOCUSED ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF I-70 AND WEST OF I-65. HAVE ADJUSTED TO LIKELY POPS FOR MOST AREAS SOUTH OF I-70 OVERNIGHT WITH CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE. WET BULB ZERO VALUES AROUND 9KFT SUPPORTIVE OF POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL OVER SOUTHWEST COUNTIES LATE TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THINK GREATEST CONCERN WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL OVER SOUTHWEST FORECAST AREA WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1.7 INCHES..AND HAVE INTRODUCED HEAVY RAINFALL INTO THE FORECAST. RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD EASILY BE 1-2 INCHES FROM SULLIVAN AND VINCENNES EAST THROUGH SHOALS AND BEDFORD BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHTER FURTHER NORTH AND EAST. BUMPED TEMPS UP A DEGREE OR TWO ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AS WELL BASED ON CURRENT OBS. ZONE AND GRID UPDATES OUT SHORTLY. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON LIFTING THE WARM FRONT THROUGH CENTRAL INDIANA SUNDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT THAT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. ATMOSPHERE WILL BE UNSTABLE THROUGH THE PERIOD. VARIOUS IMPULSES WILL ALSO MOVE THROUGH THE QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD. BEST COMBO OF SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL BE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS 30 KNOT PLUS LOW LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA AND 1000-500 MILLIBAR SHEAR INCREASES TO 30 KNOTS OR MORE WITH VEERING. IN ADDITION...MIXED LAYER CAPES ARE PROGGED TO REACH 3000 J/KG. SO...WITH THIS KIND OF A SETUP COULD SEE SOME SUPERCELLS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEFORE ACTIVITY BECOMES LINEAR. ACTIVITY SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ON TUESDAY FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. MAY EVENTUALLY EVEN HAVE TO PULL AFTERNOON POPS BUT WILL HOLD ON TO THEM FOR NOW. GENERALLY WENT CLOSER TO THE WARMER GFS WITH WARM ADVECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD...UPSTREAM TRENDS AND WITH SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS EXPECTED. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD ALLOW FOR MOSTLY DRY WEATHER MIDWEEK THROUGH SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH...A FRONT WILL BE GETTING A BIT CLOSER FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE WEEK AND EARLY WEEKEND...DRY FORECAST LOOKS GOOD FOR NOW. WITH UPPER RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST...ABOVE NORMAL HPC TEMPERATURES LOOK EASILY ATTAINABLE. && .AVIATION.../DISCUSSION FOR THE 260600 TAFS UPDATE/... MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS TAF PERIOD EXCEPT FOR ANY LOCATION THAT DOES BECOME IMPACTED BY A PASSING TSRA. TSRA ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN ILLINOIS ATTM SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE TAF EXPECT EXPECT PERHAPS BMG.
