What forecasters said that day

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 Mar 15, 4:00 PM EDT, 1 hour earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 15, 4:00 PM EDT, 1 hour before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
400 PM EDT SAT MAR 15 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1155 AM EDT SAT MAR 15 2014

COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS COLDER AIR
SETTLES BACK INTO THE REGION. LOOK FOR HIGHS IN THE UPPER 30S NORTH
TO UPPER 40S SOUTH. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE TEENS
NORTH TO LOWER 20S SOUTH. LIGHT SNOW IS POSSIBLE ACROSS ACROSS THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT...BUT LITTLE TO NO
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE
UPPER 20S AND LOW 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 PM EDT SAT MAR 15 2014

A COLD FRONT WAS MOVING SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH AN AREA
OF POST FRONTAL CLOUDS LINGERING OVER NRN INDIANA. UPPER LEVEL JET
DYNAMICS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH CLOUD COVER OVER SRN WI INTO NRN IL.
KEPT A SMALL CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW OVER WESTERN AREAS EARLY
TONIGHT.  OTHERWISE...VERY COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD SOUTH
INTO THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN
UP SIGNIFICANTLY TONIGHT AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
NORTH. CLOUD COVER AND SOME LINGERING SNOW COVER WILL KEEP HIGHS
SUNDAY NEAR RECORD COLD TEMPS OF 20 TO 25. REJECTED THE NAM/MET THAT
HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT COLD BIAS IN LIEU OF THE WARMER MAV AND EC.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 PM EDT SAT MAR 15 2014

ARCTIC HIGH OVER THE UPR GRTLKS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL MOVE EAST TO THE
LWR GRTLKS BY MONDAY MORNING WITH A RIDGE EXTENDING BACK WSW ACROSS
OUR CWA. SKIES SHOULD BE CLEAR MOST OF THE NIGHT WITH PERHAPS SOME
CIRRUS MOVING IN FROM THE NW LATE. THIS WILL SET UP GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING... ESPECIALLY ACROSS NRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WHERE SOME SNOW
COVER SHOULD REMAIN. FCST LOWS NEAR COLDER ECMWF MOS RANGING FROM
THE SINGLE DIGITS N-NE TO THE TEENS S-SW.

HIGH WILL CONT TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE AREA MONDAY WITH WK E-SE SFC
WINDS AND WK H85 WAA. A WK SHRTWV WILL MOVE THROUGH THE UPR GRTLKS
DURING THE DAY RESULTING IN SOME HIGH CLOUDS... HWVR EXPECT
SUFFICIENT INSOLATION/DIURNAL HEATING TO ALLOW TEMPS TO REACH WARMER
END OF GUIDANCE (GFS ENSEMBLE MOS AND ECMWF MOS) WITH HIGHS RANGING
FROM THE L30S NORTH TO THE L40S SOUTH.

ALTHOUGH WK LOW LEVEL WAA WILL CONT MONDAY NIGHT... LITTLE CHANGE IN
WK PRESSURE GRADIENT AND LITTLE CLOUDINESS SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER
NIGHT OF GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. AGAIN LEANED TOWARD COLDER ECMWF
MOS WITH LOWS FCST TO RANGE FROM THE TEENS NE TO THE M20S SOUTH.

FOR THE EXTENDED FCST... MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT A RATHER STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE E-NE
FROM THE PLAINS TUE ACROSS THE UPR GRTLKS WED... AND INTO QUEBEC BY
THU. STILL SOME SGFNT TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH ECMWF ABOUT 6HRS
SLOWER THAN GFS/GEM WITH FROPA IN OUR AREA. MODELS SUGGEST SHOWERS
WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE WITH THE FROPA AND IN THE CAA/WRAP
AROUND... SO GIVEN THE TIMING DIFFERENCES WILL CONT WITH JUST CHC
POPS FOR BOTH TUE NGT AND WED. IN EITHER CASE... GULF MOISTURE TAP
FCST TO BE RATHER WEAK... SO RAIN AMOUNTS IN OUR AREA FROM THIS
SYSTEM SHOULD BE LIGHT. DECENT WARMUP EXPECTED AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM
TUE AS LOW LEVEL GRADIENT MIXING STRENGTHENS WITH MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES... HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE U40S NORTH TO THE U50S SOUTH.
FOLLOWED MODEL BLEND FOR TEMPS TUE NGT/WED... BUT CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY REMAINS DUE TO CONTD QUESTIONABLE TIMING OF FROPA.

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXPECTED TO BUILD INTO THE AREA THU PROVIDING
FAIR WX WITH COOLER POST CDFNT TEMPS. ECMWF REMAINS A LITTLE SLOWER
WITH THE RIDGE PASSAGE THU-THU NGT BUT CLOSE ENOUGH THAT AT LEAST A
PERIOD OF GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING EXPECTED THU NGT.

NEXT SHRTWV TO IMPACT THE AREA WHICH WAS LOCATED OVER THE WRN
PACIFIC NEAR 50N 165E TODAY... IS FCST SIMILARLY BY GFS/ECMWF TO
MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA FRI BRINGING ANOTHER CHC OF PRECIP... WITH
DRY/COLDER WX IN ITS WAKE SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM
THE NW.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 127 AM EDT SAT MAR 15 2014

INITIAL COLD FRONT HAS CLEARED TAF SITES WITH SKIES BECOMING
MOSTLY CLEAR. LATEST SATELLITE AND SURFACE OBS SHOW AN AREA OF
STRATOCUMULUS HAS DEVELOPED OVER LAKE MICHIGAN AND IS MOVING INTO
KSBN AT ISSUANCE AND TOWARD KFWA. THIS AREA IS CURRENTLY
DEVELOPING AND EXPANDING SO DURATION AND EXTENT STILL IN QUESTION
FOR NEXT FEW HOURS. HAVE INCLUDED A PERIOD OF MVFR AT KSBN GIVEN
HEIGHTS AROUND 3KFT BUT KEPT KFWA VFR FOR NOW WITH EROSION OF
BASES AS THIS AREA MOVES EAST. OTHERWISE MID AND HIGH CLOUDS
DEVELOP SATURDAY AS ANOTHER WEAK FRONT SAGS THROUGH THE AREA.
