Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 318 AM EDT Thu Jun 15 2017 .UPDATE... The SYNOPSIS, NEAR TERM, and SHORT TERM sections have been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 318 AM EDT Thu Jun 15 2017 Upper waves and then a cold front will bring more chances for showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. An upper trough could bring some rain to parts of the area early next week. Temperatures will remain above normal until the cold front on Sunday, then near to below average temperatures will move in. && .NEAR TERM.../Today/ Issued at 318 AM EDT Thu Jun 15 2017 Early this morning, an upper trough and associated waves are generating showers and thunderstorms across the forecast area as well as back across Illinois and Missouri. The first upper wave that is generating the storms over the forecast area now should be through the area by 12Z. The main line of storms with this feature will be out of the area soon, but the shield of rain behind it will continue for a few hours. Meanwhile, the additional convection across Illinois and Missouri will continue to push east and southeast. Looks like the bulk of the rain across Missouri will move south of the forecast area, but some of the convection across Illinois could make it in. The trend though should be for the convection to weaken as it gets closer to sunrise. Thus, confidence is low on what will be ongoing at the start of the Today period. Will go chance PoPs all areas early, then allow for some decrease mid morning. Chances will increase again by early afternoon as another wave moves in. Will go chance PoPs during the afternoon, then decrease them toward evening as drier air works in behind the wave. Temperatures will be cooler today thanks to more clouds and a wet ground for most areas. The model blend looks reasonable. && .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Saturday night/ Issued at 318 AM EDT Thu Jun 15 2017 Models are close enough that the model blend initialization was accepted for most items. Will keep a lingering slight chance for rain across the southeast early this evening, but then the night should be dry with some drier air working in behind the wave. On Friday into Saturday additional upper waves will move through the area. These don't look impressive, so will go with chance category PoPs or lower, with highest PoPs during the afternoon hours when instability is highest. Saturday night a cold front and a more significant upper trough will approach the area from the west. With the forcing expected ahead of these systems went chance PoPs. Model blend temperatures look reasonable, with hot and humid conditions again Friday and Saturday. && .LONG TERM /Sunday through Wednesday/... Issued at 312 AM EDT Thu Jun 15 2017 Models have been pretty consistent with timing and coverage of late weekend thunderstorms. So, confidence is good that a vigorous upper low and trough will move across the upper Great Lakes and force a cold front southeast across central Indiana Sunday and Sunday evening. The front will interact with the very warm, moist and unstable airmass and result in scattered to numerous thunderstorms Sunday. The activity should end southeast Sunday evening as the front slips into northern Kentucky and western Ohio. After that would not rule out a shower in northwest flow aloft at times next week, but mainly Tuesday as a discernible wave moves through the area. With widespread convection around, near normal blend highs in the lower to mid 80s look ok Sunday with below normal temperatures expected to follow in the wake of the cold front. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 150600Z IND TAF Update/... VFR conditions will mainly prevail...however clusters of Thunderstorms across Central Indiana and eastern Illinois are expected to continue to propagate eastward. As these storms strike TAF sites...brief MVFR conditions will be expected. This will continue for the next 2-4 hours as the associated short wave over Illinois progresses toward the southeast. Will continue window of VCTS mention at most TAF sites...but will update with prevailing TSRA weather when storms are imminent. As the rain/storms are expected to end as the short wave departs on Thursday morning steady prevailing VFR condition will return. Forecast soundings show dry air arriving by Thursday afternoon and evening. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...50 NEAR TERM...50 SHORT TERM...50 LONG TERM....MK AVIATION...JP
