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 Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 27, 10:00 AM EST, 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 10:00 AM EST, 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1000 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 312 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

A STRONG FRONT ROUGHLY FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO TEXAS WILL RIPPLE
BACK AND FORTH FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS MEANS IT WILL BE NORTH OF
CENTRAL INDIANA SOMETIMES...AND TO OUR SOUTH AT OTHERS. EXPECT
UNSETTLED WEATHER BECAUSE OF THIS.

A BIG CHANGE WILL COME STARTING WEDNESDAY AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
BUILDS FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...TO INDIANA...TO THE EAST COAST.
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY A COLD FRONT IS PREDICTED TO CROSS THE
HOOSIER STATE FROM THE NORTHWEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

ISSUED AT 1000 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

FRONT HAS MOVED SOUTH OF THE AREA AT THE MOMENT TAKING THE WARM AIR
AND INSTABILITY WITH IT. THE INSTABILITY SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE
AREA THROUGH THE DAY SO HAVE REMOVED THUNDER MENTION ALL AREAS
DURING THE TODAY PERIOD.

MORE RAIN IS OVERSPREADING THE AREA AT THE MOMENT AND MORE IS LINED
UP ACROSS ILLINOIS. THUS KEPT CATEGORICAL POPS MOST AREAS THIS
MORNING. CONTINUED WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST OF LOWERING POPS NORTH
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

INCREASED WIND GUSTS A BIT BASED ON LATEST TRENDS. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD SLOWLY FALL DURING THE DAY WITH THE FRONT TO THE SOUTH.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE TODAY WILL HAVE RAIN...WHICH MAY BE
HEAVY...AND POSSIBLY THUNDERSTORMS.

THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS VERY DIFFICULT. THINGS WILL BE DRIVEN BY
A STRONG GRADIENT ACROSS A FRONT IN THE AREA. THE POWERFUL BLENDED
FORECAST SHOULD WORK AS WELL AS ANYTHING

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 312 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

THERE IS DECENT CONCURRENCE AMONG THE MODELS...AND SOLUTIONS HAVE
BEEN FAIRLY STABLE OVER TIME. THAT IS RAIN CONTINUING INTO MONDAY
NIGHT BUT DRY WEATHER DEVELOPING BY TUESDAY. THERE IS ALSO AGREEMENT
PRECIPITABLE WATER AND INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT HEAVY RAIN AND A
CHANCE OF THUNDER THROUGH TOMORROW.

BLENDED TEMPERATURES ARE REASONABLY WELL SUPPORTED BY THE
DETERMINISTIC FIELDS.CONFIDENCE IN THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS
REDUCED BY THE FACT STRONG GRADIENTS WILL BE IN THE AREA FOR MOST OF
THE PERIOD.

MOST INDICATIONS ARE TONIGHT AND MONDAY WILL BE TOO WARM FOR
FREEZING RAIN. HOWEVER AS CHICAGO POINTS OUT...GIVEN UNCERTAINTY ITS
BEST TO HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR IT WHERE FORECAST TEMPERATURES
ARE 33 OR LESS.

ALL THE GUIDANCE BRINGS THE WIND UP STRONGLY FOR LATE TONIGHT AND
MONDAY. IN PRECIPITATION AT THIS TIME OF YEAR ITS HARD TO GET ENOUGH
MIXING TO PRODUCE REALLY STRONG GUSTS...BUT THE DAY CREW MAY NEED TO
ISSUE AN NPW DEPENDING THE 12Z GUIDANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 235 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

ENSEMBLES SUGGEST MEAN UPPER TROUGH THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE LOCATED
IN THE PLAINS BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WILL PROGRESS INTO THE EASTERN
STATES BY NEXT WEEKEND.

APPEARS THE ONLY PRECIPITATION THREAT DURING THIS PERIOD WILL ON
WEDNESDAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. MOST OF THE DEEP
MOISTURE LOOKS TO BE TIED UP FARTHER SOUTH...SO ANY PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT. WILL CONTINUE WITH SMALL CHANCES FOR
LIGHT MIXED PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

ENSEMBLES SUGGEST LITTLE PRECIPITATION THREAT BEYOND WEDNESDAY...SO WILL
CONTINUE WITH A DRY FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE EXTENDED.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 271500Z IND TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 935 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

NO CHANGES NEEDED TO THE TAF.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
ISSUED AT 532 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

COLD FRONT HAS PASSES THROUGH ALL THE TERMINALS EXCEPT FOR KBMG...AND IT
SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THERE BY OR SHORTLY AFTER ISSUANCE TIME. LINE OF
EMBEDDED CONVECTION EXTENDS ROUGHLY ALONG AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. APPEARS
THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE SOUTHEAST OF KIND/KBMG BY 271300Z. MODEL DATA
SUGGEST MAIN FORCING SHOULD DROP SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA BY
AFTERNOON...SO RAINFALL SHOULD END AT THE KLAF TERMINAL BY MIDDAY...BUT
PERIODS OF RAIN MAY LINGER MOST OF THE DAY AT KIND/KHUF/KBMG.

MODEL DATA SUGGEST SOME DRYING OF THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE AIR MASS WILL
TAKE PLACE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS THE DAY GOES BY...SO EXPECTING THE IFR
CEILINGS TO LIFT INTO AN MVFR DECK 012-015 FROM THE NORTH LATER TODAY.

PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP QUITE A BIT TODAY IN THE WAKE OF COLD
FRONT...SO FREQUENT SURFACE GUSTS 18-24 KTS FROM 350-020 DEGREES SHOULD
DEVELOP THIS MORNING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY.../FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 24Z MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 312 AM EST SUN DEC 27 2015

THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES. ALL MODELS HAVE PERIODS OF
EXTREMELY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AND GOOD FORCING ALONG A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY FOR THE DURATION OF THE WATCH.

LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE GREATEST THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN WILL BE
IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY...THE NORTH LATE
TONIGHT...AND THE ENTIRE AREA MONDAY.
