$$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 Aug 22, 7:20 AM EDT, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 7:20 AM EDT, 2 hours 4 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 720 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 310 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE REGION WILL RESULT IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. WITH DAYTIME HEATING... THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON AND LINGERING INTO TONIGHT. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MID 80S WITH LOWS TONIGHT IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 434 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014 ...INCREASED FLASH FLOOD THREAT IN LOCALIZED AREAS NEXT 3 TO 6 HOURS... MAIN FOCUS OF FORECAST WILL BE ON NEAR TERM WITH EXPANDING AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IMPACTING PORTIONS OF NORTHERN INDIANA WITH POTENTIAL TO SPREAD INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN LOWER MI AND NW OHIO. BAND OF SLOW MOVING SHOWERS/STORMS WAS LOCATED FROM THE CHICAGO SUBURBS INTO NW INDIANA SOUTHEAST INTO PORTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL OHIO. LOTS OF BACKBUILDING HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITH CORFIDI VECTORS SHOWING ONLY SLOW ESE MOVEMENT. HIGH RES MODELS EARLIER THIS EVENING KEYED IN ON THIS AND ARE COMING TO FRUITION. EXPECTED THIS TO CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z WITH A DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS MODELS SUGGEST 30 KT LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND WEAK MID/UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES EXITS. DISCUSSION HAS TAKEN PLACE REGARDING THE NEED FOR A FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD WATCH. HEAVIEST POCKETS OF RAINFALL HAVE BEEN CONFINED TO NARROW BANDS BUT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE SAME AREAS IMPACTED YESTERDAY. GIVEN EVENT IS ONGOING...SEE NO MAJOR VALUE IN HOISTING A WATCH WHEN POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR LITTLE OR NO ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IN MANY AREAS UNTIL MAYBE TONIGHT. EVEN THIS SCENARIO IS UNCERTAIN WITH MANY QUESTIONS AS TO WHERE THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL LIE AFTER BEING MODULATED SOUTHWARD FROM ONGOING CONVECTION. SPC 4KM WRF 00Z ACTUALLY HAD A DECENT HANDLE ON CURRENT SETUP AND PUSHES FRONT WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA. OTHER MODELS VARY FROM ADDITIONAL RAIN LATER TODAY/TONIGHT TO NOTHING. WILL DEFER ANY WATCHES TO DAY SHIFT AND HANDLE IMMEDIATE CONCERNS WITH ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS AS NEEDED. WITH THE ABOVE CONCERNS...POPS HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE SLGT CHC TO CHC RANGE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER REMAINING IN THE WAKE OF CURRENT CONVECTION. BEHIND ALL THE CONVECTION A LOT OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WAS NOTED ACROSS NW ILLINOIS AND EASTERN IOWA THAT COULD POSE AN ISSUE DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. && .LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 434 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014 UPR LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE MS VALLEY THIS MORNING EXPECTED TO EXPAND NORTHWARD AND SHIFT EAST INTO THE WRN GRTLKS/LWR OH VALLEY ON SATURDAY. ROUGHLY E-W ORIENTED SFC BOUNDARY WHICH HAS LINGERED OVER THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTH INTO THE OH VALLEY BY SATURDAY AS WK LOW PRESSURE OVER THE UPR MIDWEST DIMINISHES AND A NEW STRONGER LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO GRDLY LESS FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR CONVECTION IN OUR AREA OVER THE WEEKEND DESPITE CONSIDERABLE DIURNAL INSTABILITY. TEMPS SHOULD RESPOND TO APCHG UPR RIDGE... RISING INTO THE U80S/L90S OVER SWRN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND M-U80S NE OVER THE WEEKEND. RIDGE AXIS WILL PIVOT TO AN OH VALLEY TO NEW ENGLAND LINE BY MONDAY AS A STRONG SHRTWV EJECTS FROM THE ROCKIES TO ONTARIO... RESULTING IN CONTD ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS/HUMIDITY ACROSS OUR AREA. TRAILING CDFNT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD SAG INTO OUR AREA BY TUE BRINGING A RENEWED TSTM POTENTIAL. FRONT WILL LIKELY STALL OVER THE AREA AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE STRONG RIDGE IN PLACE... WITH A SECOND SHRTWV MOVG EAST ACROSS THE GRTLKS WED-THU PUSHING THE FRONT SOUTH OF THE AREA BY THE END OF THE PERIOD AND ALLOWING TEMPS TO FALL BACK TO NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY BLO BY THAT TIME. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY MORNING) ISSUED AT 720 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014 MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION AND ASSOCIATED SFC BOUNDARY HAS BEEN SINKING SLOWLY SOUTH INTO NRN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL IL/IN EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD CONT TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION LATER TODAY AND INTO THIS EVE.
