  ahead of a cold front with cooler and drier air expected by mid week.

.SHORT TERM (Today and tonight)...
Issued at 301 AM EDT Fri Aug 15 2025

Early This Morning...

Some weak lift ahead of an approaching upper trough was generating
some patchy clouds around 6000FT. Otherwise, skies were clear and
winds light. These conditions have allowed some patchy ground fog to
form in some favored areas.

Expect the above conditions to persist through the early morning
hours with nothing coming along to change things.

Today...

Any patchy fog will mix out very early in the period. The weak upper
trough will move through during mainly the first half of the day,
continuing to produce some patchy clouds with it.

As the upper trough exits, an upper high will nudge its way into the
area. At the surface, high pressure to the east of the local area
will allow a southerly component to the wind. These will bring
higher dewpoints back into the area.

Scattered cumulus will pop up during the day, but warming mid-level
temperatures should prevent these from growing into showers and
storms. However, cannot absolutely rule out a stray shower. Odds for
these will be less than 15 percent, so will not mention.

Highs will be around 90 today, but it will feel more like the lower
and middle 90s thanks to the higher dewpoints.

Tonight...

Cumulus will dissipate this evening, but some high clouds from
convection well to the northwest may move into the area during the
night. With the higher dewpoints and light winds expected, patchy
ground fog will develop in favored areas.

A few CAMs are showing convection riding around the upper high into
the area late tonight. However, these develop storms farther south
than would be expected given location of forcing. Will side with the
majority of CAMs and keep the area dry.

Lows will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
Issued at 301 AM EDT Fri Aug 15 2025

Saturday through Monday...

The main focus early in the extended will be unseasonably hot and
humid conditions. Aloft, ridging remains near the region keeping an
anomalously hot airmass in place. Highs in the low-mid 90s combined
with high humidity will lead to peak heat indices reaching near 100-
105 degrees each afternoon. Increasing low-level moisture may be
enough to promote a few diurnal showers Saturday given strong
daytime heating, but potential appears too low to add any rain
chances at this time.

Guidance suggest there is another slightly higher chance for
precipitation Sunday or Monday when upstream storm complexes riding
along the ridge propagate towards the area. These storms should
weaken as they move into a less favorable environment over Indiana
with weaker forcing and deep-layer shear. However, cannot rule out
convection persisting into portions of central Indiana. Will keep
low POPs primarily over northern counties on Sunday to account for
the low potential. POPs were not added for Monday due to diverging
model solutions limiting forecast confidence.

It is typical for models to struggle with these subtle impulses
riding along the northern periphery of ridges. Rain chances will
likely need to be refined once guidance becomes better aligned. Any
convection or convective cloud debris could limit peak heat indices.

Tuesday onward...

Upper troughing setting up over the region Tuesday and Wednesday
along with a cold front moving through will support better chances
for precipitation. Uncertainty in exact details remains due to
diverging model solutions though. Expect greater coverage of showers
or thunderstorms with the threat for localized heavy rain and gusty
winds. Peak heat indices around 100-105 are still possible Tuesday
ahead of the cold front before cooler air filters in mid-late week.
Highs should generally fall into the 80s again towards late next
week with lower humidity. Rain chances will also diminish as a drier
airmass moves in.

.AVIATION (06Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 100 AM EDT Fri Aug 15 2025

Impacts:

- Some fog will be around at all but KIND until 13Z or so

Discussion:

Some patchy clouds around 5000FT will be around in the predawn
hours.

Few clouds, light winds, and low level moisture will allow ground
fog to form at the outlier sites. This will produce variable
visibility, down to IFR at times at KBMG (and potentially
at the other outlier sites). Fog will mix out by 13Z or so.

Scattered cumulus will pop up by early afternoon and continue into
early evening.
