What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this areal flood 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 areal flood warning went out at May 7, 8:30 PM EDT, 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 8:30 PM EDT, 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
830 PM EDT MON MAY 7 2012

.UPDATE...
THE NEAR TERM SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 224 PM EDT MON MAY 7 2012

A FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. IN
THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD IN FOR
THE REST OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY MOVE INTO THE AREA
BY THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 830 PM EDT MON MAY 7 2012

DID A QUICK UPDATE TO THE GRIDS TO REFLECT CURRENT
CONDITIONS...INCLUDING REMOVING THUNDER FROM THE FAR NORTHWEST
FORECAST AREA AND LOWERING POPS AFTER 03Z MOST AREAS. ALSO TWEAKED
HOURLY TEMPERATURES SINCE RAIN HAS COOLED THEM DOWN PRETTY QUICK.
WILL UPDATE AGAIN IN A COUPLE OF HOURS TO ADJUST AS NEEDED.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
SHOULD START TO SEE CONVECTION DEVELOP SOON OVER EASTERN
ILLINOIS/WESTERN INDIANA AHEAD OF COLD FRONT AND VORTICITY CENTER AS
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE CLOSE TO BEING REACHED. OVERALL...SEVERE
THREAT APPEARS LIMITED AS LAPSE RATES AND DEEP SHEAR ARE POOR...BUT
HEAVY RAIN STILL A CONCERN WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS WELL ABOVE
NORMAL. SHORT TERM MODELS SUGGEST COLD FRONT WILL BE ABOUT HALF WAY
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY THIS EVENING. WILL GO WITH LIKELY
POPS FOR AREAS STILL EXPECTED TO BE IN THE WARM SECTOR BY THEN...
AND CHANCE POPS BEHIND THE FRONT. FRONT EXPECTED TO CLEAR THE AREA
BY 080600Z-080700Z...SO WILL CUT OFF THE POPS AFTER THAT TIME.

PROGGED LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES GENERALLY SUPPORT THE GFS MOS LOWS
TONIGHT...SO NO SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GUIDANCE PLANNED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ISSUED AT 224 PM EDT MON MAY 7 2012

LOOKS LIKE A RATHER QUIET PERIOD WEATHER WISE AS MODEL DATA INDICATE
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SLOWLY INTO THE LOCAL AREA FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. ONLY ITEM OF INTEREST APPEARS TO BE A SHORT WAVE
TROUGH THAT THE MODELS INDICATE WILL DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA
ON WEDNESDAY. NOT A LOT OF DEEP MOISTURE OR INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS FEATURE...AND MODELS ARE DRIER WITH THIS FEATURE TODAY
THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY. WILL RETAIN SOME SMALL CHANCE POPS FOR
SHOWERS DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS FEATURE WILL BE COMING THROUGH
DURING PEAK HEATING. OTHERWISE...WILL KEEP THE REST OF THE SHORT
TERM DRY.

BASED ON PROGGED LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES...THE GFS MOS TEMPERATURE
GUIDANCE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. NO MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GUIDANCE ARE
PLANNED.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 220 PM EDT MON MAY 7 2012

THE EXTENDED WILL START OF DRY WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES UNDER
HIGH PRESSURE. THEN A COLD FRONT AND TRAILING UPPER TROUGH SHOULD
BRING SHOWER CHANCES PROGRESSIVELY SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL
INDIANA SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WENT WITH CENTRAL REGION
INITIALIZATION EXCEPT FOR MINOR TWEAKS TO POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 080000Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 712 PM EDT MON MAY 7 2012

MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CEILINGS ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT...
IMPROVEMENTS TO VFR CONDITIONS BY MIDDAY TUESDAY.

DIFFUSE COLD FRONT PROGRESSING STEADILY SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION EARLY THIS EVENING...AND HAS NOW PASSED ALL TERMINALS.
WINDS HAVE SHIFTED TO N/NW AT 10-15KTS. CONVECTION CONTINUES TO
FIRE IN THE VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS AT BOTH KIND AND KBMG FOR A COUPLE HOURS THIS
EVENING. LIGHTER PRECIP OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS ALSO MAY SWING
ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE EVENING WITH ALL RAIN EAST OF THE
TERMINALS BY MIDNIGHT.

LARGE AREA OF LOWER STRATOCU BEHIND THE FRONT FROM THE GREAT LAKES
SOUTHWEST INTO ILLINOIS WILL EXPAND INTO THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING AND REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. EXPECT MVFR
CEILINGS TO DEVELOP WITH POTENTIAL FOR IFR CONDITIONS NEAR
DAYBREAK. HAVE HIT CEILINGS HARDEST AT KLAF AS IT LOOKS TO STAND
THE BEST CHANCE AT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF IFR CEILINGS EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY LIFT AND SCATTER ON
TUESDAY AS BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING COMMENCES AND DRIER AIR ADVECTS
INTO THE REGION WITH HIGH PRESSURE. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN
AROUND MIDDAY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND W/NW WINDS AT 10-15KTS
ANTICIPATED FOR THE AFTERNOON.
