What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 5, 5:55 PM EST, 3 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 5:55 PM EST, 3 hours 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
555 PM EST TUE FEB 5 2008

.AVIATION...

DISCUSSION FOR THE 00Z TAFS
TRWS EXPECTED TO INCRS IN CVRG DURING THE EVENING PER REGIONAL AND
NATIONAL RADAR TRENDS. OTHERWISE...MOSTLY IFR CIGS TNGT IMPVG TO
MVFR MID MORNING TOMORROW. VSYS ALSO EXPECTED TO BE IFR THROUGH THE
PD...WHILE WINDS GUSTING TO 25 MPH BY LATE EVE WL SHIFT FM THE ENE
TO THE SE TO THE SW AS THE SFC LOW LIFTS ACRS THE QUASI-STNRY
BOUNDARY ACRS SRN INDIANA TNGT. COULD STILL SOME RWS AROUND TOWARD
12Z AND TOMORROW...BUT BULK OF THE RAINFALL SHOULD BE OVER.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

FOCUS ON THIS FORECAST WILL REMAIN ON SEVERE AND FLOOD CONCERNS IN
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

THE CURRENT SETUP SHOWS A WARM FRONT REMAINING SOUTH OF CENTRAL
INDIANA. TEMPERATURES HAVE REMAINED IN THE 30S TO LOW 50S ACROSS
THE AREA. THE SUNSHINE AND WARMER TEMPERATURES REMAINS TO OUR
SOUTH...SO SURFACE BASED CONVECTION DOES NOT APPEAR VERY LIKELY
ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA EXCEPT THE FAR SOUTH. THE KEY WILL BE HOW
FAR SOUTH THIS WARM FRONT PUNCHES LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE AFTERNOON
SOUNDINGS IN THE WARM SECTOR SHOW THAT WHILE THERE IS A LOT OF
CAPE...THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A VERY STRONG CAP...IN FACT STRONGER
THAN WHAT THE MODELS HAD PREVIOUSLY INDICATED. H7 TEMPS WERE
SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER FROM ACTUAL OBSERVATIONS VS WHAT THE MODELS
HAD INDICATED. BUT AT THE TIME OF WRITING...SURFACE BASED
CONVECTION WAS BEGINNING TO RAPIDLY DEVELOP IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
IN THE WARM SECTOR.

THE GREATER CONCERN FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL APPEAR TO BE AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS THE LOW CROSSES THE AREA WITH A POSSIBLE SQUALL LINE
AND DAMAGING WIND BEING THE GREATEST THREAT. WILL TRY AND ACCOUNT
FOR THIS IN THE GRIDS AND NOT MENTION POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER IN
THE GRIDS UNTIL LATER THIS EVENING RATHER THAN THIS AFTERNOON.

HEAVY RAIN WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL THREAT AS WELL AS ALL MODELS AND
HPC QPF CONTINUE TO INDICATE 1 TO 2 OR 3 INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE
TONIGHT. WITH THAT IN MIND WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WARNING FOR THE
REST OF TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ANOTHER ISSUE WITH REGARDS
TO WHEN THE COOLER AIR ARRIVES. THE NEWEST MODEL RUNS ARE
CONSIDERABLY WARMER THAN THE OLDER RUNS. AT THIS POINT...THE
THREAT OF SNOW BEHIND THE SYSTEM SEEMS GREATLY DIMINISHED. WILL
CHANGE THE FORECAST TO KEEP IT WARMER FOR LONGER TONIGHT...WITH
THE BEST COLD ADVECTION NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER 12Z ON
WEDNESDAY.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/ THE MAIN FEATURE
DURING THE EXTENDED WILL BE ANOTHER TURN TO COLDER WEATHER OVER
THE WEEKEND. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON
SATURDAY. WILL BRING IN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AHEAD OF IT. AFTER
FROPA WILL CHANGE THE CHANCE TO SNOW SHOWERS. 850 MB TEMPS DROP TO
-20 TO -24 ON SUNDAY. TEMPS THEN STAY COLD THROUGH THE END OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD.
