AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1256 AM EDT MON JUN 10 2013 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 103 PM EDT SUN JUN 9 2013 A COUPLE OF ACTIVE WEATHER DAYS ARE AHEAD AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER IOWA PUSHES TOWARD AND THEN ACROSS INDIANA TONIGHT AND MONDAY. SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TONIGHT AND AGAIN ON MONDAY. THE LOW THE LOW WILL DEPART ON MONDAY NIGHT AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN BUILDS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN TO DRY WEATHER FOR THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. BY WEDNESDAY...MUCH WARMER AIR WILL ARRIVE IN THE AREA ON SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THIS WILL SEND HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THE UPPER 80S. MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS THAT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH THE AREA. THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO CENTRAL INDIANA. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 938 PM EDT SUN JUN 9 2013 EVENING UPDATE WAS FOCUSED ON POPS FOR OVERNIGHT. BASED ON RADAR TRENDS INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE CWA TO 100 PERCENT AND TAPERED BACK MENTION OF THUNDER TO CHANCES EARLY...THEN ISOLATED AFTER MIDNIGHT. MADE SOME MINOR MODIFICATIONS TO OTHER WEATHER ELEMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST TRENDS. PREVIOUS FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... PRECIPITATION LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA TONIGHT. THE FIRST SHOT LOOKS TO ARRIVE FROM THE SOUTH AS THE PRECIP OVER KENTUCKY ADVECTS INTO CENTRAL INDIANA. THE GFS 305K ISENTROPIC SURFACE SHOWS GOOD LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE ADVECTING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN PARTS OF OUR FORECAST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. THE SECOND SHOT AT PRECIPITATION COMES AFTER 00Z AS THE PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ARRIVES. GOOD LOWER LEVEL Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA WITH THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AS THE HRRR SUGGESTS AN AREA OF SHRA WITH TSRA PUSHING THROUGH THE STATE THIS EVENING. FURTHERMORE...FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE GOOD SATURATION...PARTICULARLY DURING BY 06Z TIME FRAME. THUS WILL TREND POPS HIGHER THAN MAVMOS...PARTICULARLY EARLY ON IN THE EAST AS THE TSRA AND SHRA ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE IN AND ACROSS THE AREA AND THEN AGAIN ACROSS THE WEST AND CENTRAL AREA DURING THE MIDDLE TO LATER PARTS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. GIVEN THE CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL TREND LOWS AT OR ABOVE MAVMOS. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... ISSUED AT 103 PM EDT SUN JUN 9 2013 MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THIS PERIOD WILL BE POPS N MONDAY. GFS AND NAM DEPICT THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER IOWA PUSHING THROUGH AND EXITING CENTRAL INDIANA ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. BROAD CYCLONIC LOWER LEVEL FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWS STEEP LAPSE RATES BY 18Z MONDAY WITH GOOD MOISTURE STILL AVAILABLE. CAPE REMAINS IN EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG AND CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE ONLY IN THE LOWER 70S. THUS GIVEN THE FLOW...THE FORCING AND DAYTIME HEATING SOME SCT SHRA AND ISOLATED TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE. WILL STICK CLOSE TO THE TO THE MAVMOS POPS HERE GIVEN THE HIT OR MISS CHANCES OF CONVECTIVE PRECIP IN THIS SET UP. WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN THE AIR MASS WILL USE A BLEND ON HIGHS AS GOOD CLOUD COVER COULD BE PRESENT WITH THE PASSING LOW. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEPARTS ON MONDAY AND AS GOOD RIDGING BUILDS ALOFT ON MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. TIME HEIGHTS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS DRY OUT THE COLUMN CONSIDERABLE AS THE CONVECTIVE TEMPS BECOME UNREACHABLE. AGAIN THERE IS VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN THE AIR MASS FOR THIS SYSTEM AND AS THE RIDGE QUICKLY MOVES EAST OF INDIANA BY LATE TUESDAY...STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION ONCE AGAIN TAKES SHAPE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. THE GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS HINT EVEN WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE 700MB TEMPS WILL BE NEAR 12C...WHICH IS USUALLY A PRETTY DARN GOOD CAP. THUS WILL KEEP A DRY FORECAST FROM MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH SLOWLY MODERATING TEMPERATURES WARMER EACH DAY. WILL TREND TOWARD THE WARMER SIDE OF GUIDANCE DURING THE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIME PERIOD. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... ISSUED AT 250 PM EDT SUN JUN 9 2013 MAIN FOCUS OF THE EXTENDED WILL BE STORM CHANCES WEDNESDAY NIGHT... EARLY THURSDAY AND AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND. MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN MAINTAINING A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE NORTHERN U.S. FROM THE PLAINS EASTWARD. A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL BE OVER TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA WHILE AN UPPER UPPER TROUGH MOVES FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO NEW ENGLAND AROUND THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY A WEAKER SYSTEM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. MODELS HAVE TRENDED A LITTLE WETTER AND FARTHER SOUTH WITH A POSSIBLE MCS MOVING ACROSS OUR REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER INTO THURSDAY. HOWEVER WITH THE MODELS BEING VERY QUICK TO DRY US OUT...WILL DROP MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY WILL BE DRY AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST ACROSS OUR REGION. MODELS ARE A LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE WEEKEND. BUT THEY MAY BE A BIT TOO FAST. FOR NOW LEAN TOWARDS THE SLOWER HPC SOLUTION. WENT WITH A MOS BLEND MOST PERIODS...EXCEPT A TAD WARMER FOR HIGHS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS THERE WILL BE LOTS OF SUN AND INCREASING WARM ADVECTION. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 100600Z TAF ISSUANCE/... ISSUED AT 1256 AM EDT MON JUN 10 2013 SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH POTENTIAL FOR MVFR WILL GIVE WAY TO MVFR CONDITIONS LATER DURING THE NIGHT. THESE SHOULD PERSIST UNTIL MONDAY AFTERNOON...WHEN VFR RETURNS.. BULK OF CONVECTION SHOULD BE OUT OF THE TAF SITES BY VALID TIME LEAVING BEHIND SCATTERED SHOWERS.
