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

NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 29, 3:46 PM EDT, 3 hours 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 29, 3:46 PM EDT, 3 hours 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
346 PM EDT FRI APR 29 2011

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/
STRONG RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE AREA THIS AFTN PROVIDING SUNNY
SKIES ACROSS THE CWA. HIGH CLOUDS IN WAA REGIME ON BACKSIDE OF THE
RIDGE WERE SPREADING INTO THE MS VALLEY AND WILL OVERSPREAD OUR
CWA TONIGHT. DRY AIRMASS AND LIGHT WINDS SHOULD PROVIDE GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING FIRST PORTION OF THE NIGHT WITH INCREASING
CLOUDINESS AND GRADIENT WINDS FROM WEST TO EAST LATE TONIGHT
LIMITING TEMP FALL. STAYED CLOSE TO PREV GRIDS FOR MIN TEMPS
RANGING FROM THE M30S NE AND AROUND BEH TO THE L40S SW WITH PATCHY
FROST MENTIONED FOR MINS AT OR BLO 37.

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER
CENTRAL/NRN HIGH PLAINS THIS AFTN WILL SPLIT INTO TWO LOWS
OVERNIGHT IN THE SRN AND NRN PLAINS WITH NRN LOW BECOMING DOMINANT
SATURDAY AS UPR TROF OVER THE NRN ROCKIES MOVES EAST TO THE NRN
PLAINS AND CUTS OFF. TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THIS
DEEPENING LOW AND RIDGE MOVG TO EAST COAST SHOULD RESULT IN RATHER
STRONG SELY WINDS IN OUR AREA SATURDAY. THIS WILL PROMOTE FAIRLY
DEEP LOW LEVEL MIXING AND THUS HAVE CONTD TO LEAN TOWARD WARMER
MAV TEMPS FOR HIGHS RANGING FROM THE M60S NE TO THE L70S SW.

VERTICALLY STACKED LOW WILL LIFT SLOWLY NE INTO SWRN ONTARIO
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH CDFNT MOVG EAST FROM THE MS VALLEY INTO NWRN
PORTION OF OUR CWA BY SUNDAY MORNING. FORCING NOT FCST TO BE
EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG WITH THIS FRONT, BUT FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE PLUME FROM GULF OF MEXICO INTO THE GRTLKS SHOULD
PRECEDE CDFNT, AND DECENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND WK
ELEVATED INSTABILITY ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FRONT SUPPORTS INCREASING
POPS INTO LOW LIKELY RANGE AND CONTG WITH CHC OF TSTMS... THOUGH
GIVEN WK FORCING QPF IS LOW...GENERALLY AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH.
TEMPS SHOULD BE CONSIDERABLY WARMER THAN PREVIOUS NIGHT WITH CAA
HOLDING OFF UNTIL SUNDAY... FCST LOWS IN THE L-M50S.

&&

.LONG TERM...
SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AT THE START OF
THE PERIOD. TRENDS WOULD SUGGEST THAT THERE COULD BE A DRY
PERIOD...ESPECIALLY NW BY AFTERNOON SUNDAY. HOWEVER...TIMING OF NEXT
WAVE UP THE FRONT AND POSITION OF THE FRONT MAY STILL ALLOW FOR SOME
LINGERING DRIZZLE OR LIGHT SHOWERS...RESULTING IN MAINTENANCE OF
PREV POPS.  MAIN EFFECTS OF THE NEXT WAVE DO LOOK TO OCCUR OVER SE
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. ADDITIONAL QPF AMOUNTS THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT WILL LIKELY BE ON THE ORDER OF A TENTH TO QUARTER INCH...WHICH
SHOULD NOT HAVE A LARGE EFFECT ON LOCAL RIVERS.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR MONDAY INTO AT LEAST EARLY THURSDAY.
COOL NW FLOW ACROSS THE AREA WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...BUT DRY WEATHER TO LET AREA RIVERS BEGIN TO RECEDE.
HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S WITH OVERNIGHT
LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S. SOME FROST CONCERNS MAY CREEP IN
DURING A FEW OF THE NIGHT...SOMETHING TO BE WATCHED IN LATER
FORECASTS.

MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON ENERGY DIGGING IN FROM THE NW WITH 12Z
GFS/GEFS SHOWING A CLOSED UPPER LOW DIGGING TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES
TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD. NEW ECMWF HAS BACKED OFF SOMEWHAT ON
IT DEEPER SOLUTION INTO THE GREAT LAKES. EVEN WITH THIS...THERE
WOULD APPEAR TO BE AT LEAST ENOUGH SIGNALS TO GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE
LOW CHC POPS THURS NGT INTO FRIDAY WITH LATER TWEAKS LIKELY.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TAFS/
CU SHOULD CONT TO DISSIPATE/MOVE SE OUT OF NE INDIANA THIS AFTN AS
HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR MOVES IN. CIRRUS OVER THE PLAINS WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT AS RIDGE MOVES TO OUR EAST AND A
CDFNT APPROACHES. CLOUDS SHOULD GRDLY LOWER THROUGH SAT MORNING
BUT VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST. FAIRLY LIGHT NW FLOW WILL CONT
THIS AFTN WITH PERHAPS A FEW GUSTS AS MIXING DEEPENS. WINDS WILL
BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS EVE AS RIDGE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA...
THEN INCREASE FROM THE SE TOMORROW AS THE HIGH DEPARTS THE AREA
AND LOW/CDFNT TO THE W-NW APPROACHES.
