AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 117 PM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 415 AM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 PERIODIC SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TODAY WITH THE BEST CHANCES DURING THE AFTERNOON. HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. WET AND STORMY PATTERN WILL THEN CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THIS WEEK. && .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 1228 PM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 WK SHRTWV MOVG ACROSS THE GRTLKS CAUSING SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ACROSS OUR NERN ZONES EARLY THIS AFTN. 0-6KM SHEAR A LITTLE GREATER THAN YDAY DUE TO INCREASED FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH TROF MOVG ACROSS THE GRTLKS BUT SHOULD BE DIMINISHING LATE THIS AFTN AND THIS EVE AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES TO THE EAST. BEST CHC FOR SVR STORMS APPEARS TO BE ACROSS OUR SE THIS AFTN WHERE INSTABILITY/SHEAR MAXIMIZED. MAIN THREAT IS DAMAGING WINDS FROM WET MICROBURSTS OR SMALL BOW ECHOES AS ANY HAIL SHOULD BE SMALL WITH 850-500MB LAPSE RATES ONLY 5-5.5C/KM ACROSS THE AREA AND PWATS OF 1.75-2" SUGGESTING NO SGFNT DRY AIR ALOFT. ANOTHER WK SHRTWV OVER MO EXPECTED TO LIFT NE-E ACROSS NRN IN/OH THIS AFTN/EVE. SOME SHOWERS/TSTMS DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL IL/IN IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM. DIMINISHING CLOUDS AND DESTABILIZATION THIS AFTN EXPECTED TO CAUSE THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD MAINLY ACROSS SRN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA THIS AFTN AND THIS EVE. MAIN CHG TO PREVIOUS FCST WAS TO ADD POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL MAINLY ACROSS THE S-SE ZONES THIS AFTN... BUT ALSO BUMPED UP HIGHS A BIT. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 415 AM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 PERIODIC SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS MULTIPLE WEAK/EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES LIFT OVER OUR REGION IN DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS PATTERN HAS ADVECTED AN EXCEPTIONALLY MOIST AIRMASS INTO OUR AREA AND NOT MUCH WILL CHANGE DURING THIS SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT NOW WELL NORTH OF OUR CWA. CURRENT EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR SCT CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING GIVEN 30-40 KT LLJ IN PLACE. ACTIVITY OVER CENTRAL INDIANA WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND NORTHEAST WITH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT LIKELY IN OUR CENTRAL/NORTHWEST CWA BY LATE MORNING AS DIURNAL INSTABILITY BUILDS AND NEXT SUBTLE MIDLEVEL WAVE SLIDES OVER THE REGION. THIS ACTIVITY WILL THEN SHIFT SOUTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. LATEST HI-RES CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS ARE IN GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THIS SCENARIO AND HAVE TRIED TO ADD SOME MORE TEMPORAL DETAIL TO THE GRIDS. LOWER 70S DEWPOINTS AND TEMPS IN THE 80S WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER MODERATELY UNSTABLE DAY WITH SBCAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG. WIND PROFILES ALOFT ARE NOT PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE AND VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. UNIDIRECTIONAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 20-30 KTS AND PALTRY LAPSE RATES ALOFT WILL LIMIT THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER. ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS MAY BE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER STORMS BUT THREAT IS ON THE LOWER END OF THE SPECTRUM. OF MUCH GREATER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAINFALL...POSSIBLY IN THE SAME AREAS OF OUR SOUTHEAST THAT HAVE ALREADY SEEN VERY HEAVY RAIN. PW VALUES WILL HOVER AROUND 2 INCHES WITH A DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYER AND WEAK MBE VELOCITIES (HIGH POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING/BACKBUILDING). HIGHLY VARIABLE NATURE OF CONVECTION MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ANY BLANKET HEADLINES BUT WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS IN OUR SOUTHEAST ZONES. PRECIP CHANCES DECREASE SOMEWHAT AGAIN OVERNIGHT BUT EXPECT THERE WILL STILL BE SOME SCT STORMS GIVEN MOIST ENVIRONMENT AND STEADY LLJ. WILL THEREFORE CONTINUE HIGH END CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. && .LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 442 AM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 HIGH PWAT/THET-E AIR PERSISTS ACRS REGION THROUGHOUT MAJORITY OF LONG TERM. FOCUS ON OPPORTUNITIES OF HIEST POP SHRA/TSRA POTNL...FIRST MON INTO MON EVE AND AGAIN ON WED/WED NIGHT. FIRST IDENTIFIABLE FEATURE IN WV IMAGERY /SHORTWAVE ENERGY OVR OK PANHANDLE/ TO LIFT INTO CORN BELT MON IN POS TILT FASHION WITH MODICUM OF PHASING INTO SRN PERIPHERY OF RAMPED MID TROPOSPHERIC FLOW PUSHING EWD ACRS HIGH PLAINS INTO NWRN/UPR GRTLKS. MODERATELY STRONG INSTABILITY ON ORDER OF 1500-2000 J/KG MLCAPE IN ADVOF OF SEWD SINKING/WEAK SFC FRONT ALONG WITH 30-35 KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR PORTENDS TO AT LEAST STRONG/NEAR SEVERE CONVECTION SHOULD APPARENT/IDEAL LATE AFTN/EVE TIMING HOLD OVER NEXT FEW MODEL ITERATIONS. ON WED COMBINATION OF REINFORCEMENT OF HUDSON BAY TO GRTLKS VIA CIRCUM POLAR ROTATION WITH PSBL GOMEX/EXTRATROPICAL MSTR FEED INTO MS VLY/FAR LWR OHIO VLY AIDING IN PRECIP EFFICIENCIES.

DROPPED MENTION OF TSRA IN LIGHT OF SIG LWR BLENDED POPS/PSBL OPPORTUNITY FOR NIL WX SHOULD TREND MAINTAIN. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 1228 PM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 SCT SHRA/TS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA AGAIN EARLY THIS AFTN WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TERMINALS BEFORE DARK. TIMING STILL QUESTIONABLE BUT SHOULD SOMETIME BETWEEN 19Z-01Z. GUSTY SW WINDS WILL SUBSIDE THIS EVE. MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TONIGHT RESULTING IN SOME STRATUS/FOG WITH MVFR CONDITIONS THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO.
