This bulk download tool provides the NWS text
in a raw form, hopefully directly usable by your processing system.
You can either provide a complete 6-character PIL/AFOS ID or provide
the 3-character base ID (e.g., AFD
). The start and end
dates represent 00 UTC for those dates. The Zip format is useful as
the filenames will have the product timestamp, which is useful for
when the product format has ambiguous timestamps.
606 FXUS63 KIND 051708 AFDIND Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 108 PM EDT Sun Apr 5 2020 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 347 AM EDT Sun Apr 5 2020 Weak high pressure will build into the area today, bringing mainly dry conditions into Monday. A frontal system will then bring rain chances to the area Monday night into Wednesday night. Another system will bring more rain chances next weekend. After a brief warmup into mid-week, below normal temperatures will return to end the week. && .NEAR TERM...(Rest of Today) Issued at 1002 AM EDT Sun Apr 5 2020 Visible satellite loop shows plenty of cloud cover across central Indiana at 10 am, with a few breaks over central Illinois that could move into the western/southwestern counties over the next several hours. Overall still looking at cloudy skies for most of the area through the day. High temperatures in the mid 50s to around 60 look reasonable given the cloud cover. Rain showers have moved east of the forecast area for the most part (a sprinkle still over Randolph county but moving east) and the rest of the day should be dry. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday night) Issued at 347 AM EDT Sun Apr 5 2020 Models are close enough that the SuperBlend initialization was accepted for most items. Weak high pressure will build into the area tonight. This will keep the area dry but lingering moisture will keep skies partly cloudy. A warm front will move through the area Monday, but the front won't have much forcing with it. Will go dry all areas Monday during the day. Some upper energy and in increasing low level jet will interact with the front Monday night to generate convection Monday evening, and this will move southeast during the night. Will go with likely PoPs in the far north with chance PoPs elsewhere. NBM looks overdone with PoPs during the day Tuesday given little forcing behind the first wave of convection. Lowered PoPs some. A trough will move through Tuesday night and could bring some additional convection. Went mainly chance PoPs Tuesday and Tuesday night. Temperatures will start warming up Monday as the warm front moves through. Confidence is lower with highs Monday as there is some timing questions with the advance of warm air. && .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Through Saturday) Issued at 347 AM EDT Sun Apr 5 2020 Models are close enough that the model blend initialization was accepted for most items. A decent cold front will move through Wednesday night bringing another round of convection. Otherwise mainly dry conditions should prevail until Saturday, when another front approaches the area. Cyclonic flow aloft across the area will help bring in below normal temperatures for much of the long term period. However, Wednesday will be warm with warm advection ahead of the cold front. && .AVIATION /Discussion for 051800z TAF issuance/... Issued at 102 PM EDT Sun Apr 5 2020 Scattering and clearing of MVFR deck has begun at KLAF and will spread southeast from there. Thus expected other sites to rise to VFR over the next 6 hours, with KBMG the last to scatter out. Northeasterly winds will continue to weaken and become light and variable overnight under building high pressure. Winds will become southeasterly Monday morning, and could shift to southwesterly Monday afternoon, but speeds should remain less than 10 kts. No visibility restrictions expected. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SYNOPSIS...50 NEAR TERM...CP SHORT TERM...50 LONG TERM....50 AVIATION...CP
