Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 749 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 226 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 Mainly dry...warm and humid weather will be expected tonight through the start of the next work week as high pressure will remain across the area. Small chances for overnight showers or storms are possible tonight and again on Sunday night...but most areas should remain dry. More chances for rain will return toward the middle of the next week as several upper level weather disturbances arrive in the Ohio valley. && .NEAR TERM /Tonight/... Issued at 226 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 Surface analysis early this afternoon shows broad high pressure in place from the middle Atlantic states through the Tennessee River valley. This was resulting in light but warm and humid SW flow across central Indiana. GOES16 shows scattered CU across the area and dew points were in the humid upper 60s. Aloft a strong ridge was in place across the plains states...and NNW flow was in place across the upper midwest spilling toward Indiana. The GFS and NAM again suggest a a weak short wave spilling across Indiana late tonight...just as it did the night before. Little help is available for additional forcing as high pressure remains in place at the surface. Time heights fail to show any deep moisture arriving overnight...and forecast soundings suggest 700mb temps near 10C. Thus NBM willing...will try to trend toward a dry forecast or only a slight chance for storms as the upper level feature passes overnight. Given the little change in the air mass will trend lows toward persistence. && .SHORT TERM /Sunday through Tuesday/... Issued at 226 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 Mainly the dry and warm weather will persist this period. The GFS and NAM show the strong ridging to the west slowly translating eastward through Tuesday...yet breaking down slowly in the process. On Sunday...forecast soundings and time heights continue to show little change...showing a dry column and subsidence in play. Aloft ridging remains in place across Illinois and Indiana...and again 700mb temps are above 10C. Thus will again trend toward a dry...warm and humid day with highs near persistence. GFS and NAM again suggest another weak short wave passing across Indiana Sunday night. NAM is more pronounced with this feature than the GFS. Confidence for precip is low again for the same reasons as before. Little help at the surface... 700mb temps above 10C and the failure of deep moisture available. Still a small chance may be warranted...but confidence remains quite low. again will trend lows close to persistence. On Monday through Tuesday the GFS and NAM keep the ridge building eastward across Indiana. Little in the way of upper support is available to promote convection. 700mb temps are over 10C...but plentiful CAPE is denoted in the forecast soundings should the cap break. This a few diurnal showers and storms cannot be ruled out...an organized system is not expected. Will again trend pops at this time toward a dry forecast or at or below the NBM. && .LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/... Issued at 226 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 An upper ridge over the eastern U.S. will keep hot and humid conditions over central Indiana through the long term period. While previous days long term solutions indicated a potential suppression of the ridge that would allow a cold front to slide into the area and bring temperatures back into the mid 80s for highs, this set of solutions holds the ridge strong through the week and doesn't indicate that same potential until next weekend. There are still some indications of potential for ridge-riding convection, but this will be hard to pin down in timing and location and thus would prefer to cap at chance the PoPs from the initialization that bleed in likelies every afternoon in the northern counties. Overall expect to see well above normal temperatures with some chances for isolated to scattered diurnal storms as well as chances for more organized overnight MCSs. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 30/00Z TAF Issuance/... Issued at 738 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 VFR conditions will be the predominant flight category. However, showers and thunderstorms have been drifting across the northern portions of central Indiana this evening. None of the TAF sites have been impacted, yet, but KHUF and KIND will need to be monitored closely over the next few hours. If activity maintains its strength, will have to add thunderstorms to those TAFs with amendments over the next few hours. Meanwhile, winds will generally be northwesterly at 5 to 11 kts with some gusts up to 15 kts outside of any convection. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...Puma NEAR TERM...Puma SHORT TERM...Puma LONG TERM....CP AVIATION...TDUD
