AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 500 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 238 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO CENTRAL INDIANA TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SMALL CHANCES FOR MORE RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. AFTER A BRIEF DRY PERIOD...MORE CHANCES FOR RAIN RETURN SUNDAY INTO NEXT TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO ABOVE AVERAGE BY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 238 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 RAIN WILL RETURN NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY ROTATES NORTH. WILL RAMP POPS BACK UP TO CATEGORICAL BEFORE 00Z. AFTER 00Z THE SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE AREA. 850MB WINDS INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AND WILL BRING MORE MOISTURE AND FORCING WITH IT. THERE WILL BE SOME UPPER SUPPORT TOO. ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME CONCERN WITH ANOTHER DRY SLOT WORKING IN AROUND 00Z FROM THE SOUTH...FIND IT HARD TO GO AGAINST MOS POPS /NEAR 100 PERCENT IN SOME AREAS/ GIVEN THE FORCING MENTIONED ABOVE. WILL GO LIKELY SOUTH TO CATEGORICAL POPS NORTH WITH THE EXPECTATION OF ADDITIONAL RAIN DEVELOPING ALONG THE WARM FRONT. CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL DIMINISH BEHIND THE WARM FRONT OVERNIGHT WITH LOSS OF FORCING AND WEAKENING OF 850MB WINDS. LOWERED POPS BACK TO CHANCE MOST AREAS OVERNIGHT. INSTABILITY IS RELATIVELY LOW WILL WILL ONLY GO WITH CHANCE OF THUNDER. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ARE STILL POSSIBLE WITH PLENTIFUL MOISTURE AROUND. A MODEL BLEND FOR LOWS LOOKS GOOD GIVEN EXPECTED CLOUDS AND RAINFALL. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... ISSUED AT 238 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON CHANCES FOR RAIN THROUGH THE PERIOD. MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT SO USED A BLEND. ON WEDNESDAY THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MEANDER INTO THE AREA. HOWEVER IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL TAKE SOME BUILDING OF INSTABILITY BEFORE CONVECTION BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD...SIMILAR TO WHAT OCCURRED TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS MISSOURI. THUS WILL GO CHANCE POPS IN THE MORNING WITH LIKELY POPS IN THE AFTERNOON. WILL ONLY MENTION THUNDER IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN INSTABILITY IS MAXIMIZED. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE LOW WILL EXIT AND A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH. WITH LIMITED FORCING AND INSTABILITY ONLY WENT LOW CHANCE POPS DURING THE EVENING AND DRY MOST AREAS AFTER 06Z. THURSDAY SHOULD BE DRY WITH CENTRAL INDIANA IN BETWEEN THE EXITING SYSTEM AND A COLD FRONT TO THE WEST. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT BUT THERE WILL NOT BE A LOT OF FORCING WITH IT. ONLY WENT LOW CHANCE POPS. BY FRIDAY MORNING THE FRONT SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND EAST TO ONLY GO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA. AS THE FRONT EXITS THE AREA BY AFTERNOON...WENT DRY THEN. FOR TEMPERATURES GENERALLY STUCK WITH A MODEL BLEND THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. HOWEVER DID GO CLOSER TO THE COOLER MET NUMBERS ON WEDNESDAY WITH CLOUDS AND RAIN AROUND. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... ISSUED AT 201 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 DRY AND WARMER WEATHER LOOKS TO KICK OFF THE WEEKEND AS THE GFS AND ECMWF SUGGEST A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. WITH THE SURFACE HIGH IN PLACE OVER CENTRAL INDIANA ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...PLEASANT AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED. BY SUNDAY THE GFS AND ECMWF SUGGEST THE HIGH WILL DRIFT EAST OF INDIANA AND A RETURN FLOW OF WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR WILL RETURN TO THE OHIO VALLEY. GFS SUGGEST A WEAK SHORT WAVE PUSHING OUR OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO INDIANA AND THE GREAT LAKES...INTERACTING WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS. THUS BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP WITH UPPER SUPPORT LOOKS LIKE MONDAY...HOWEVER ALLBLEND CONTINUES TO PROVIDE POPS ON SUNDAY AND TUESDAY GIVEN THE WARM AND MOIST AIR AND POSSIBLE DIURNAL CONVECTION. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 102100Z TAFS/... ISSUED AT 500 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 STILL EXPECT SITES TO BOUNCE AROUND BETWEEN MOSTLY MVFR AND VFR CEILINGS WITH LIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN LATER TONIGHT DROP TO IFR. BRIEF POCKETS OF IFR ARE POSSIBLE BEFORE THEN BUT ISOLATED ENOUGH TO TAKE OUT OF TAFS WITH UPDATE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... ANY VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE TAF SITES ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR OR IFR DURING THIS TAF PERIOD. RAPID REFRESH SUGGESTS ANOTHER WAVE OF PRECIP WILL PINWHEEL NORTH ACROSS THE TAF SITES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND TIME HEIGHTS SHOW DEEP MOISTURE ARRIVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH GOOD LIFT. THUS EXPECTED A RETURN TO MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE EVENING. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER MISSOURI WILL THEN CONTINUE TO PUSH TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY OVERNIGHT. THIS VERTICALLY STACKED SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP CLOUDS AND A FEW STRAY SHRA IN THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS IT PASSES.
