TONIGHT WILL BE DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. CU WILL DISSIPATE
BY EARLY EVENING LEAVING BEHIND SOME PATCHY CIRRUS. FOR
TEMPERATURES...WENT CLOSER TO THE COOLER OF THE MOS NUMBERS ACROSS
THE EASTERN FORECAST AREA WHERE DRIER AIR RESIDES. WENT CLOSER TO
THE WARMER MOS WEST WHERE DEWPOINTS ARE HIGHER.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 247 PM EDT WED JUN 19 2013
FOCUS IS ON ANY CHANCES FOR RAIN LATE IN THE PERIOD...OTHERWISE ON
TEMPERATURES. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE TOO HIGH WITH DEWPOINTS SOME
AREAS AND THUS BREAK OUT ISOLATED CONVECTION EARLY IN THE PERIOD.
IGNORED THESE FEATURES...OTHERWISE WENT WITH A BLEND.
UPPER HEIGHTS WILL BUILD THROUGH MOST OF THE SHORT TERM.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM AS WARMER AIR SLOWLY WORKS IN ALOFT.
TEMPERATURE RISE...AND MOISTURE INCREASE...WILL BE GRADUAL AS WINDS
INITIALLY ARE FROM THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST.
WENT DRY THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE HEIGHTS BUILD. FOR
TEMPERATURES...MAV SEEMS A BIT WARM GIVEN THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURES
ALOFT AND THE EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND EARLY ON. TRENDED
TOWARD THE COOLER MET MOST PLACES.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP WELL TO OUR NORTH FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE IS
RELATIVELY LITTLE WINDS ALOFT TO STEER THESE STORMS...AND MODELS
CONTINUE TO HINT THAT SOME OF THESE MAY SINK SOUTH INTO CENTRAL
INDIANA ON SATURDAY. CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN HOW THIS PLAYS OUT...SO
JUST KEPT THE 20 POP ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY. WITH MORE MOISTURE
AROUND THERE WILL BE MORE CLOUDS...WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES A
LITTLE COOLER THAN MOS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 247 PM EDT WED JUN 19 2013
FOCUS IS ON CHANCES FOR RAIN THROUGH THE PERIOD. MODELS ARE CLOSE

TO MOVE AROUND IT. IN ADDITION...ATMOSPHERE WILL BE HOT AND HUMID
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THUS CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS
DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. WILL GO WITH
ALLBLEND WITH 20 POPS DURING THAT TIME.
ON WEDNESDAY A LITTLE STRONGER UPPER WAVE MAY MOVE THROUGH THE
AREA...SO WENT 30 POP MOST AREAS.
