Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 641 AM EDT Thu Jul 29 2021
SYNOPSIS. Issued at 302 AM EDT Thu Jul 29 2021
Numerous storms are expected across the area today. A few of these storms may be severe with damaging winds and heavy rain. Cooler and drier air returns Friday.
SHORT TERM. (Today) Issued at 302 AM EDT Thu Jul 29 2021
Continuing to watch convection slowly move SE. As previously suspected . upwind propagation into the extreme instability (4000 J/kg MLCAPE fed by 80F dewpoints and EML) over northern IL has kept convection further west with more of a SSE motion. CAM's still struggling immensely to capture this. Do however expect line to clip our western zones with a severe threat during the early morning given well developed cold pool and bowing structure with ample MUCAPE and shear immediately downstream across far northern IL/IN. Damaging winds the primary concern though wouldn't entirely rule out an isolated tornado. Greatest risk is likely in the western portions of severe thunderstorm watch but can't rule out some additional development further east especially in light of hi-res CAM's.
Evolution of well-organized MCS and failure of hi-res CAM's leads to considerable uncertainty later today. It is likely with late arrival/outpacing better instability this MCS will weaken and allow additional convection to fester across our area through the morning. SPC/RAP mesoanalysis shows much less shear south of Chicago as well as more southwesterly 0-2km storm-relative wind so it may be difficult for MCS to maintain severity much past 10-11Z as it surges into central IL Meanwhile. models show EML will be overhead our area through at least early afternoon and mid 70s dewpoints yield up to 3000 J/kg of MLCAPE across our SW (assuming it is not wiped out by surging MCS). This will be colocated with about 40 kts of deep- layer shear setting the stage for additional severe weather later today. Best chances would be in our S/SE with less contamination of from morning storms. Current best guess is that additional convective development will occur across our central area through the morning and eventually push south of our zones by late afternoon. This would suggest the highest severe potential for possible second round around midday in our southern zones generally in line with latest SLIGHT SWODY1. Damaging winds would be the primary concern though wouldn't entirely rule out a tornado risk with potential outflow boundaries/decent SRH and relatively low LCL's early. If however MCS maintains good cold pool balance and survives through the late morning diving SSE . it would likely wipe out our chances for additional severe storms later. While currently appearing less likely . this remains a possibility and will need to be watched through the morning.
LONG TERM. (Tonight through Wednesday) Issued at 302 AM EDT Thu Jul 29 2021
Forecast thereafter remains incredibly quiet. Anticipate dry conditions by late afternoon continuing through much of Sat. Much cooler and less humid with highs on Fri in the 70s. Weak wave/front brings low chances for precip Sat night with reinforcing shot of cool/dry air for early next week.
AVIATION. (For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday Morning) Issued at 632 AM EDT Thu Jul 29 2021
A QLCS system was moving across northern Indiana at this time. The storms had moved through SBN earlier and were moving across the FWA terminal. Gusty winds are likely with the storm passage along with some MVFR ceilings. The front was farther behind the line and should across the area around midday accompanied by a wind shift to the northwest. Clearing skies will follow later with VFR conditions.
