(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus63 kind 171631 afdind area forecast discussion national weather service indianapolis in 1230 pm edt Sat aug 17 2019 Update The aviation section has been updated below. Synopsis Issued at 146 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 a warm and humid air mass will remain in place across central indiana into the start of the work week. This along with a lingering frontal boundary near central indiana and several passing upper level weather disturbances will result in chances for showers and storms each day through Monday along with above normal temperatures. Periodic showers and storms remain possible much of the next work week. Cooler weather is expected to return late next week. Near term today Issued at 1005 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 radar was showing widespread showers and thunderstorms over central illinois and knocking at the indiana border. This supports cat pops today. Strong line of thunderstorms from near monticello, illinois and extending south to just east of effingham will move into west central illinois after 11 am and to near indianapolis around 1 pm. Would not rule out isolated wind damage with this line if it can hold together. Bulk shear to 40 knots over north central parts of central indiana and surface base capes to 1500 j kg suggest it will. Previous discussion follows... issued at 146 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 surface analysis early this morning shows weak south to southwest flow in place across indiana. High pressure was in place across the southeastern states. Low pressure was found over kansas. A warm and humid air mass had returned to central indiana as dew points had returned to the upper 60s and lower 70s. For now radar was quiet... But there were a few showers over illinois and near the mississippi river. Gfs and NAM both suggest a short wave over iowa mo will quickly arrive in central indiana this afternoon. Time heights show excellent lift... But forecast soundings fail to show deep saturation and convective temps look difficult to reach. Furthermore... Models have been having trouble with these subtle short waves and lower level support is not helpful. Hrrr shows a area of convection pushing across central indiana this afternoon also. Thus overall... Confidence is low... But some pops will be required... At or below the nbm. Given the expected clouds and possible rain will also trend highs at or below the nbm. |
Short term tonight through Monday night Issued at 146 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 little change in the models since last night. Aloft a nearly zonal flow is expected to persist through at least Tuesday. A series of weak short waves are depicted to push across indiana and the ohio valley tonight through Monday. At the surface... Mainly southerly flow remains in place... Although a weak front looks to approach the area on Monday. Models have had continued difficulty with these weak short waves... But given the very warm and humid air mass... At least some low chc pops will be needed through Monday. Will trend pops at or below the nbm. Given the expected humid air mass will stick close to the nbm highs and trend lows warmer. Finally on Monday night the GFS seems to suggest the last of these short waves exiting the area as high pressure remains in place aloft across the western southwestern united states. Thus will trend dry here... But overall confidence is low during this whole period as pops will be highly dependent upon the forcing associated with these subtle waves. Long term Tuesday through Friday night Issued at 337 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 the extended period will start out with a relatively active weather pattern as showers and thunderstorms dominate the forecast from Tuesday through Wednesday. A stationary boundary will drift across the area on Tuesday, interacting with a hot and humid environment. As a low pressure system strengthens over the great lakes region on Wednesday though, that frontal boundary will finally shift southward across central indiana as a cold front. Showers and thunderstorms will accompany the front along with some cooler temperatures in its wake for Thursday and Friday. Before that though, high temperatures will top off in the upper 80s and low 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday. As high pressure strengthens both at the surface and aloft on Thursday, dry conditions will return for the second half of the forecast period. Aviation discussion for the 17 18z TAF issuance Issued at 1230 pm edt Sat aug 17 2019 hrrr suggest a few lingering storms are possible mainly at ind and laf 00z-02z with an upper wave. This looks reasonable but chances too low to put in the taf. Otherwise, would not rule out fog 09z-13z per the GFS lamp, otherwise mostlyVFR flying conditions are expected. Winds will vary from southwest around 5 knots to light and variable. Ind watches warnings advisories None. Synopsis... Puma near term... Puma mk short term... Puma long term... .Tdud aviation... Mk |

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
