Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
347 PM EDT Tue Jun 25 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 335 PM EDT Tue Jun 25 2019

A small chance for an isolated severe thunderstorm is possible
through this evening over extreme north central Indiana into
southwest Lower Michigan. It will be significantly warmer on
Wednesday with high temperatures ranging from the mid 80s over
southern Lower Michigan to near 90 into west central Indiana.
There is a chance for thunderstorms as well Wednesday afternoon
and evening, primarily along and south of Route 30.

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 342 PM EDT Tue Jun 25 2019

Primary focus on conditional risk for strong/damaging winds this
evening, primarily over northwest IN into south central Lower MI.
Combination of succinct MCV near KDBQ at 17 UTC to track eastward
along WI/IL border in concert with eastern periphery of 700-500 mb
EML with mid level lapse rates of 7-7.5 C/km. Inverted V type
soundings with progged DCAPE 800-1000 J/kg, moderately strong mid
level flow favors wind as primary risk. Will continue to monitor
for upstream convection development downstream of MCV later this
afternoon over southern WI/northern IL. Diminishing downstream
severe risk early tonight to limit areal/temporal extent. This
owing largely to more stable air with pool of upper 50s/near 60F
surface dewpoints over eastern CWA and diurnal loss of surface
insolation.

For Wednesday, should the evening/early tonight progress as
expected, an east to west boundary will layout through southern
CWA. Strong surface insolation anticipated with temperatures on
the higher end of guidance. Another aforementioned east-southeast
shunt off primary southern Plains to southern MN EML expected amid
southern periphery of blocked CONUS with subtle northward build
of west TX ridge. Convective chances, primarily along and south of
Route 30, focused near aforementioned boundary. Timed a bit later
21-03 UTC per composite of larger scale model timing of embedded
shortwave arrival, presently over Bitteroots.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 342 PM EDT Tue Jun 25 2019

Difficult long term with respect to thunderstorm risk next
several days. Blocking pattern favors at least low chances and
followed blend for now. Some potential for a cooler more stable
airmass that is not reflected in the blend by early next week.
This in response to possible back door cold front amid building
mid level heights over central Plains nosing into Upper Midwest
with a slow eastward progression as Pacific Northwest vortex
finally begins to break through block.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 108 PM EDT Tue Jun 25 2019

VFR flight conditions expected for the forecast period. Gusty
southwest winds this afternoon will decrease around sunset.
Biggest uncertainty is thunderstorm potential over SBN as MCV over
western IL propagates eastward, which may provide enough lift for
isolated thunderstorms this afternoon/evening. For now left a
mention of it out.
