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 Jun 15, 7:30 PM EDT, 9 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 7:30 PM EDT, 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
730 PM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008

.AVIATION DISCUSSION...FOR THE 00Z TAFS
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH INDIANA OVERNIGHT.
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED AHEAD OF THE FRONT. TAFS WILL START OUT WITH
THE TSTMS E OF LAF. THESE WILL BE IN THE VCNTY OF HUF AND IND
THROUGH 0130Z AND IN THE BMG VCNTY THROUGH 0230Z. THESE STORMS MAY
PRODUCE BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS AND
HAIL. DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN AFTER FROPA. ONLY SCT TO BKN CU WILL BE
PSBL.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST FOCUS IS ON CHANCES FOR RAIN INTO MID WEEK.

AT 18Z AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM PREV CONVECTION WAS STRETCHING
ACROSS THE CENTRAL FORECAST AREA /FA/. DEWPOINTS WERE IN THE UPPER
50S AND LOWER 60S. A TSRA COMPLEX WAS ACROSS IA/MO.

MODELS WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT...THOUGH NONE HAS REALLY CAPTURED
WHAT WENT ON THIS AM AND IS GOING ON NOW. WILL USE A BLEND FOR MUCH
OF FCST BUT NOT RELY ON THEM FOR CONVECTION THIS EVENING.

BASED ON CURRENT MOVEMENT...AT LEAST PART OF TSRA COMPLEX COULD BE
ACROSS THE FA AT 00Z. THIS WILL MAKE POPS KIND OF DIFFICULT IN TERMS
OF WHETHER TO GO LIKELY OR NOT. EITHER WAY MAV POPS ARE TOO LOW. FOR
NOW WILL GO 50 POPS WITH SCT WORDING. MOST LIKELY WILL REQUIRE
UPDATING AS EXTENT OF COVERAGE BECOMES APPARENT. /PRIOR TO 00Z WILL
UP POPS FROM WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE GRIDS ACROSS WRN FA TO ACCOUNT
FOR THE APPROACHING TSRA/. SPEED MAX MOVES IN OVERNIGHT AND WILL
GENERATE ADDITIONAL LIFT FOR AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WILL
CONTINUE 50 POPS WITH SCT WORDING OVERNIGHT. FA IS STILL IN MODERATE
RISK AND WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT RISK IN HWO. OLD OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY MAY ADD TO SVR THREAT. MAV TEMPS LOOK TOO COOL ACROSS SRN
FA AS COOLER AIR WILL NOT ARRIVE THERE UNTIL LATE. THUS WENT WITH A
BLEND OF COLDER MAV AND WARMER MET NUMBERS.

FRONT WILL EXIT THE AREA ON MON BUT WILL HANG AROUND LONG ENOUGH FOR
CHANCE POPS MOST OF THE DAY WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS SRN FA CLOSER
TO FRONT. MAV TEMPS LOOK TOO WARM FOR CLOUDS AND SCT PRECIP. AGAIN
WENT WITH A BLEND OF MAV/MET.

UPPER LOW WILL SET UP ACROSS SE CANANA/NERN USA INTO MID WEEK. FA
WILL BE IN NW FLOW AND WILL KEEP COOLER CONDS ACROSS THE AREA. NW
FLOW IS NOTORIOUS FOR SENDING WAVES DOWN INTO THE AREA AND
GENERATING PRECIP...BUT AM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH OF ANY ONE PERIOD TO
INTRODUCE POPS AT THIS TIME. THUS HAVE KEPT TUE-THU DRY FOR THE
MOMENT. THIS MAY CHANGE. A BLEND OF MET/MAV LOOKS REASONABLE INTO
TUE FOR TEMPS.

IN THE EXTENDED...MOST MODELS HINTING AT RAIN ON FRI AND SAT...SO
HAVE ADDED LOW CHANCE POPS FOR THEN.
