Issued at 230 AM CDT Wed Oct 26 2022
Through Thursday…
The deformation zone of the departing low pressure remains stretched atop the region early this morning. Low to mid level frontogenesis to the northwest of the surface low and wraparound precipitable waters around 1.2 inches have made some of the rain efficient, with Valparaiso ASOS and other far northwest Indiana automated sensors indicating 3-hourly rainfall of 0.50 to 0.80. As the negatively tilted upper low gets absorbed into the mid- latitude westerlies by shortly after sunrise, it will increase speed and drag the lingering forcing out of the region. Some showers east of I-57 in our forecast area are likely to make it to 8 A.M. or so. The thick clouds will depart shortly thereafter. Within the cold advection pattern, scattered, flat cumulus may try to develop over the area, but still a lot of sun. Wind gusts to 30 mph will be seen this morning, including a few gusts to 40 mph across northern sections of Lake and Porter Counties in Indiana. Highs in the lower to mid 50s are on tap which are a few degrees below normal.
The upper flow returns to progressive albeit still split tonight into Thursday. High pressure of 1027 mb will pass directly over the area overnight. If any thin cirrus is not too thick, it`s possible there is shallow radiational fog overnight in favorable spots. With the high pressure strengthening to our east on Thursday, the return flow aspect will be muted thanks to easterly low-level winds. Also cirrus may thicken more Thursday afternoon, so forecast highs are only a degree or two warmer than today.
