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 May 14, 1:00 AM EDT, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 14, 1:00 AM EDT, 2 hours 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
100 AM EDT THU MAY 14 2009

.AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR THE 14/0600Z TAFS.

TSRA XPCTD ACRS ALL TERMINALS THRU FROPA /09Z KLAF-KHUF...11Z
KIND-KBMG/. CIGS/VSBYS WL GENERALLY REMAIN MVFR OR BETTER. BRIEF PDS
OF LWR CIGS/VSBYS MAY BE PSBL...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW AND
PHENOMENA LIKELY TO BE TOO TRANSIENT TO INCLUDE ATTM.

SFC WINDS ARE GUSTY AND WL REMAIN SO AT LEAST UNTIL FROPA...AS
STRONG LLVL WIND FIELDS JUST AHEAD OF FRONT WL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
WINDS. WEAKENING PRES GRADIENT POST FROPA WL ALLOW WINDS TO DECREASE
AFTER ABOUT 10-12Z. FAIRLY RAPID CLEARING XPCTD POST FROPA.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION /ISSUED 319 PM EDT WED MAY 13 2009/

SHORT TERM...MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM...IS POSSIBLE
FLOODING WITH MORE HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT. ALSO SEVERE
WEATHER MAY BE A CONCERN LATER TONIGHT.

SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
AND A COLD FRONT FROM EASTERN MINNESOTA TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A MCC
CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS HAS LEFT A OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI.  PRESENT
RADAR LOOPS INDICATE THE CURRENT MCC WILL BE MOVING OUT OF OUR AREA
IN ABOUT 4 HOURS AND NAM/GFS AND RUC INDICATE THERE COULD BE A LULL
IN THE PRECIP THIS EVENING.   THUNDERSTORMS ARE FIRING ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND THIS BEARS WATCHING. FOR THE MOMENT WILL GO
WITH MODELS FOR CENTRAL AND SE SECTIONS AND ONLY INDICATE A CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS THERE THIS EVENING WITH HEAVY RAIN LATE TONIGHT.
PRECIPITABLE WATER TO OUR WEST AROUND 2 INCHES AND MODELS GIVE QPF
UP TO 3 INCHES OVERNIGHT.  OUR WEST CENTRAL HAS ALREADY HAD UP TO 2
INCHES SO FAR TODAY.  WILL ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT OVER
ALL BUT OUR FAR SE.

CONVECTION WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES.  GFS MU
CAPES ARE UP TO 2000 J/KG ACROSS OUR WEST AND NW TONIGHT.  NAM
INCREASES 850 MB WINDS TO 60 KNOTS AHEAD OF COLD FRONT LATE
TONIGHT.  THUS SPC SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER STILL POSSIBLE
LATER TONIGHT.

COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS OUR AREA THURSDAY MORNING AND WILL END
CHANCES OF PRECIP FROM NW BY MIDDAY.

LONG TERM...FORECAST FOCUS IN THE LONG TERM WL BE POPS FRI-SAT.

THU NT...WITH FNT STALLED NR THE OH RVR WL KEEP CHC POPS IN THE FAR
S.

FRI...FNT MEANDERS BACK N ACRS THE AREA AND INSTABILITY INCREASES.
NO GREAT FORCING MECHANISM THOUGH...JUST SOME WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT
EARLY AND THEN ANY DIURNAL HEATING IF THE SUN CAN ACTUALLY BREAK OUT
WHICH IS NOT A GIVEN. LLJET REMAINS WELL WEST OF THE AREA AS DO GOOD
DYNAMICS. CURRENTLY NOT OVERLY EXCITED ABOUT SVR POTENTIAL BUT WL
HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE NEXT SET OF MODEL RUNS.

FRI NT-SAT NT...S/W AND COLD FNT MV THRU THE FA. DIFFERENCE IN
TIMING OF COLD FROPA WITH GFS ABOUT 6 HOURS OR SO FASTER THAN THE
NAM AND HAVING IT MOSTLY THRU BY 12Z. NAM SEEMS TO HAVE SUPPORT OF

CONSENSUS AROUND NAM. WITH ALL THIS IN MIND WL LEAN TOWARD NAM AND
FCST SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS ISSUANCE WITH HIGH CHC POPS FRI NT...LIKELY
