Issued at 945 PM EDT Sun Mar 29 2020 Going forecast is on track and no appreciable changes made. Previous discussion follows... Wind gusts will diminish this evening through the overnight hours as the strong low pressure system continues to work its way though the Great Lakes and pushes eastward. It will be dry and clouds will continue to clear out across southern and central Indiana. Overnight low temperatures are expected to get down to the low and mid 40s. && .SHORT TERM /Tomorrow through Wednesday/... Issued at 256 PM EDT Sun Mar 29 2020 Tight pressure gradients will still be impacting the area Monday, but gusts are expected to peak around 20 to 25 kts during the morning and early afternoon. Monday will be dry with clouds increasing some across the NE half of the forecast area. A low will be tracking over Kentucky and Tennessee Tuesday which will pull in some Gulf moisture over southern Indiana. This system will also extend cloudy conditions further north of the rain, across the area. Minimal rainfall totals are likely with this system. A ridge will then start moving in through the day Wednesday, leading to another dry day with partly sunny skies. The short term will see slightly below normal temperatures with a chillier Tuesday. && .LONG TERM /Thursday through Monday/... Issued at 322 AM EDT Mon Mar 30 2020 A couple of weak disturbances look to impact the area over the coming weekend into early next week, with low chances for rainfall. NBM is typically smeared with pops over a broader period than latest deterministic models support, but it was particularly bad tonight. Pulled pops Thursday night into early Friday and backed off a bit at the start of the weekend as a result. Temperatures will be near to a bit above normal throughout the period, generally in the upper 50s to mid 60s with lows in the low to mid 40s. && .AVIATION /Discussion for 300600z TAF issuance/...
