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 11, 7:12 PM EDT, 1 hour 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 11, 7:12 PM EDT, 1 hour 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
712 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014

.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

ISSUED AT 304 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014

A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO PERSIST ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH MIDWEEK. SEVERAL ADDITIONAL WAVES WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA TOWARDS THE END OF THE WORK WEEK BRINGING MORE
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE BEFORE
A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT WITH LOWER
READINGS RETURNING FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 304 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014

AS OF 19Z...A WARM FRONT WAS POSITIONED ACROSS THE EXTREME NORTHERN
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY...IN ADDITION TO
ANY REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION EARLIER THIS
MORNING...ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE FOCUS OF ANY THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE SHEAR VALUES DO NOT LOOK TO BE
IMPRESSIVE...UP TO 35 KTS IN THE SOUTHWEST BUT DROPPING OFF
RAPIDLY TO THE NORTH...MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL FORECAST SBCAPE VALUES
OF OVER 2000 J/KG. HOWEVER...LATEST LAPS SOUNDINGS STILL INDICATE A
DECENT CAP IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA WHICH CONTINUES TO INHIBIT ANY
DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME.

AS THE WARM FRONT EXITS THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING...ANY LINGERING STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH BY LATE THIS EVENING.
WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE REMAINING AND DECENT CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TO
SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE...ALONG CONTINUED SOUTHERLY
WINDS...TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN IN MID 60S OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 304 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014

THE MAIN CHALLENGE THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM WILL BE CONTINUED
PRECIPITATION CHANCES. TEMPERATURES BEFORE AND AFTER COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE WILL BE A SECONDARY CHALLENGE. THE NAM SEEMS TO HAVE THE
BEST HANDLE ON THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OUT IN THE PLAINS
AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTS SO MAINLY IT WAS USED FOR TODAYS FORECAST.

THE AREA SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN ANY CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION EARLY
MONDAY WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING IN. DECENT WARM AIR ADVECTION
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20-25 MPH
ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO SOAR INTO THE THE LOW TO MID 80S. ANY
BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER COULD ALLOW FOR EVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER READINGS
WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF SOLAR. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD MONDAY
NIGHT AS WINDS STAY UP AND CLOUDS INCREASE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING
COLD FRONT.

TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE A SOGGY DAY AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY MAKES ITS
WAY FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. ALL MODELS ARE IN
PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NAM IN REGARDS TO THE TIMING OF THE
FRONT. THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE POST FRONTAL SO
TRIED TO CUT BACK ON POPS PRIOR TO 12Z TUESDAY. ALSO...WITH
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED MAINLY BEHIND THE FRONT AND MINIMAL
INSTABILITY REMAINING...REDUCED THUNDER MENTION. RAIN SHOWER CHANCES
WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY EXITING THE
AREA.

A DEEPENING 500 MB TROUGH AND SEVERAL WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW
WILL CAUSE PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO RETURN IN MORE EARNEST ON
WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO BELOW NORMAL VALUES.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

ISSUED AT 207 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014

EXTENDED MODELS ARE SIMILAR WITH CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT THROUGH
SATURDAY WITH RIDGING STARTING TO BUILD IN SUNDAY. THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN SHOWER CHANCES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH COOL
TEMPERATURES. AFTER THAT...MOISTURE IS LACKING...SO WILL KEEP
IT DRY.

REGIONAL BLEND LOOKS GOOD ON TEMPERATURES CONSIDERING THE CYCLONIC
FLOW AND LOW LEVEL THERMAL PROGS.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 120000Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

ISSUED AT 710 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014

RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA SET TO
IMPACT KHUF ANY TIME NOW AND KIND IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. RIGHT NOW
STORMS ARE PARTING AROUND KBMG BUT NOT HITTING THERE...AND A LARGE

SOUTHEAST...IMPACTING KLAF FOR SEVERAL HOURS BUT HIGH UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT THEM GETTING AS FAR SOUTH AS KIND/KHUF. THUS WILL INCLUDE VCTS
