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

Area forecast discussion, May 2, 11:28 AM EDT, 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1128 AM EDT SUN MAY 2 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WILL RIDE
NORTHEAST ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TODAY...BRINGING PERIODS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE OHIO VALLEY. HEAVY RAINFALL AND
FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...BEFORE
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM FINALLY MOVES EAST OF THE REGION. A WEAK
SURFACE TROUGH WITH LIMITED MOISTURE WILL TRACK THROUGH THE REGION
MONDAY NIGHT OFFERING A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
NEARLY STATIONARY AND VERTICALLY-SLOPED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHES
FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THIS
FRONT HAS BEEN A VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCER SO FAR...THANKS TO A
NEARLY PARALLEL ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER FLOW AND VERY HIGH PRECIP
WATER VALUES. GENERALLY SEEING STORM-TOTAL PRECIP AMOUNTS IN THE
1.5 TO 2.5 INCH RANGE NEAR AND SOUTH OF A CINCINNATI TO PIKETON
LINE...WHERE FLOOD ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON. LARGE AREA OF RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUES TO TRAIN ACROSS AREAS FROM SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL
KENTUCKY INTO SOUTHERN OHIO. BACK EDGE OF THIS PRECIP IS SLOWLY
WORKING ITS WAY EASTWARD AND LOOKS TO CLEAR PARTS OF CINCY METRO
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HOWEVER...SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA WILL LIKELY SEE AT LEAST ANOTHER INCH THIS AFTERNOON...AND
ALREADY GETTING A FEW REPORTS OF HIGH WATER AND ROAD CLOSURES...SO
EXPECT THIS AREA TO SEE THE BEST FLASH FLOODING THREAT THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.
SECOND CONCERN IS POTENTIAL SEVERE CONVECTION DEVELOPING TO THE
WEST ALONG THE COLD FRONT. VERY STRONG 500-HPA JET TO THE WEST...NEAR
100-KT...IS ALLOWING FOR VERY HIGH 0-6 KM SHEAR VALUES BETWEEN
50-65 KTS ACROSS INDIANA. HRRR...RUC AND LATEST WRF ALL DEPICT
ANYWHERE FROM 500-1500 J/KG OF CAPE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN
CWA THIS AFTERNOON. THE VERY HIGH SHEAR IS MORE THAN FAVORABLE FOR
SEVERE CONVECTION IF STORMS DO DEVELOP...BUT IT MAY BE TOO HIGH
GIVEN THE LIMITED INSTBY...AND WE WOULD LIKELY NEED TO GET INTO
THE 1500 J/KG RANGE FOR UPDRAFTS TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE. LOOKS LIKE
THICKENING CLOUDS TO THE WEST MAY ACT TO KEEP CAPE BELOW 1000
J/KG...BUT WILL MONITOR CLOSELY ANY CONVECTION THAT POPS UP THIS
AFTERNOON FOR A HAIL AND WIND THREAT...POSSIBLY EVEN A TORNADO.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO BISECT ILN/S FA EARLY THIS EVENING WITH
VERY HIGH PWATS ABOVE 2.0 INCHES POOLED ALONG AND SE OF THIS FRONT.
SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT TO SLIDE THRU THE REGION OVERNIGHT...SO
WILL CONTINUE CATEGORICAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH A MENTION
OF HEAVY RAIN THRU THE EVENING HOURS. INSTABILITY SLIDES OFF TO
THE SE WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...SO WL DROP MENTION OF THUNDER.
AS PREVIOUSLY STATED...WL CONTINUE THE CURRENT AREAL DELINEATION
OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS ILN/S SRN FA WITH RAINFALL TOTALS
GENERALLY BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES WITH LOCALLY UP TO 4 INCHES THRU
MONDAY MORNING. HAVE TRENDED TONIGHTS LOWS CLOSER TO THE WARMER
MET GUIDANCE.
UPPER LEVEL FLOW DEAMPLIFIES WITH MINOR SFC RIDGING TEMPORARILY
BUILDING IN ON MONDAY. WL SHOW DRYING DURING THE DAY WITH A LOW
CHC OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS REDEVELOPING MONDAY NIGHT AS A SECONDARY
FRONT/SFC TROF TRACKS THRU THE REGION. HAVE LIMITED POPS TO CHC
NORTH AND ONLY SLIGHT CHC ACRS THE SOUTH. UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES
MORE WESTERLY WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN TUESDAY.
HAVE TRENDED HIGHS COOLER THAN MAV FOR BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND
WENT WITH A MAV/MET BLEND FOR MONDAY NIGHTS LOWS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR WEDNESDAY. THEN A FRONT WILL
STRETCH ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND MAY SAG INTO THE FORECAST
AREA ON THURSDAY. FORCING DOES NOT LOOK TOO SUBSTANTIAL WITH THIS
FEATURE BUT IT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE NORTHERN ZONES.
AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES...THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIFT BACK NORTH ON
THURSDAY NIGHT. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING THE LOW BUT IT
SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT WITH A
TRAILING COLD FRONT RESULTING IN A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. A MUCH COOLER AIRMASS WILL SPREAD IN BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM FOR SATURDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AVIATION INTERESTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GREATLY IMPACTED BY
CONVECTION. HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY
THUNDERSTORMS...AND MVFR CONDITIONS MAY PERSIST UNTIL AROUND
00Z WHEN DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. CEILINGS
WILL FALL BELOW MVFR AT DAY THROUGH 16Z...AND OTHER SITES WILL BE
MONITORED FOR SIMILAR CONDITIONS. BR WILL FORM ABOUT 06Z AT LUK
AND ILN AFTER CLOUDS BECOME SCATTERED.
