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 Jul 17, 6:41 AM EDT, 3 hours 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 17, 6:41 AM EDT, 3 hours 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
641 AM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 640 AM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

IT WILL BE MUCH WARMER AND MORE HUMID TODAY AND TONIGHT. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90. HEAT INDEX
VALUES WILL BE BETWEEN 90 AND 100 THIS AFTERNOON. LOWS TONIGHT
WILL ONLY DROP INTO THE LOWER 70S. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW STRONG OR
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 354 AM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

WARM FRONT WAS TRYING TO LIFT NORTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING BUT
CONVECTION ALONG AND TO ITS NORTH HAS BEEN SLOWING ITS PROGRESS.
SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE BOUNDARY NOW OVER THE AREA AT 07Z WITH SFC DEW
POINTS RANGING FROM THE LOWER 60S IN THE NORTHEAST TO LOWER 70S
SOUTHWEST.

INITIAL FORECAST CHALLENGE IS WITH EARLY MORNING CONVECTION. EXPECT
BATCH OF SHRA/TSRA OVER THE AREA AT 07Z TO CONTINUE MOVING EAST AND
EXIT THE LOCAL AREA AROUND 12Z. REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING SCT
TSRA IN NORTH CENTRAL IL AHEAD OF POORLY MODELED SHORT WAVE AND ON
NOSE OF 30-40KT LOW LEVEL JET. WITH HIGH THETA E AIR IN PLACE EXPECT
THE IL CONVECTION TO CONTINUE MOVING EAST ALONG WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. ONCE THIS PCPN PASSES WARM FRONT SHOULD MIX NORTH AFTER
SUNRISE LEAVING ENTIRE AREA IN VERY WARM AND SULTRY AIR FOR FIRST
TIME THIS SUMMER WITH SKIES BECOMING PARTLY SUNNY.

FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO TEMPS AND APPARENT TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS
IN GOOD AGREEMENT BRINGING MID 70 DEW POINTS INTO THE SOUTHWEST WITH
LOWER 70S NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN UPSTREAM OBS LAST FEW DAYS
AND SATURATED AMBIENT CONDITIONS SEE NO REASON WHY THESE DEW POINTS
WILL NOT BE REACHED. CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUD COVER REMAINS A CONCERN
FOR AIR TEMPS TODAY BUT IR SATELLITE SHOWING CLEARING OVER WESTERN
IL AND EXPECT CLOUDS TO MIX OUT MID MORNING AS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
WEAKENS AND MOVES EAST WHILE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. HIGH TEMPS TO
REACH 90 IN FAR SOUTHWEST WITH UPPER 80S CENTRAL AND MIDDLE 80S
NORTHEAST. ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND CU FIELD WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPS
FROM SOARING FURTHER TODAY. THIS YIELDS APPARENT TEMPS AROUND 100
FOR A FEW HOURS FAR SOUTHWEST AND 90S REMAINDER OF THE AREA. WHILE
THE FAR SOUTHWEST DOES REACH LOCAL HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR A FEW
HOURS...NEIGHBORING OFFICES OPTED TO HOLD OFF ON ADVISORIES WITH
EVEN WARMER TEMPS AND MORE WIDESPREAD 100+ HEAT INDICES EXPECTED
SATURDAY. POSSIBILITY OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION AND CLOUD COVER
LIMITING HEATING ALSO PLAYED ROLE IN NON-ISSUANCE. WILL THEREFORE
CONTINUE TO PLAY UP HEAT IN HWO AND LIKELY ISSUE SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENT AS WELL.

CONVECTIVE TEMPS PER NAM12 FCST SOUNDINGS TO BE NEAR 90 THIS
AFTERNOON AND WITHIN REACH. NO STRONG MECHANISM FOR LIFT TO INITIATE
CONVECTION SEEN IN MODELS OTHER THAN DIURNAL HEATING. ATMOSPHERE
WILL BE VERY UNSTABLE WITH MUCAPES RANGING FROM 4500 J/KG TO AS MUCH
AS 6000 J/KG IN EXTREME CASE. WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO SET OFF TSRA
THIS AFTERNOON AND ANY WEAK SHORT WAVE WILL AID DEVELOPMENT. HAVE
KEPT LOW CHANCE POPS ENTIRE AREA INTO THE MID EVENING HOURS AND LOSS
OF HEATING. WIND SHEAR REMAINS MARGINAL WITH 0-3KM VALUES 25-30 KTS
AND 0-6KM AROUND 30 KTS. THIS ALL SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR STRONG
PULSE TYPE STORMS. ISOLATED SEVERE POSSIBLE WITH WIND GUSTS TO 50
KNOTS AND HAIL. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN REMAINS A CONCERN AS WELL GIVEN
PWAT VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES AND SLOW MOVING STORMS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 354 AM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAS BECOME TEMPORARILY ESTABLISHED OVER
THE SOUTHEAST CONUS WILL ATTEMPT TO BUILD NORTH AHEAD OF A
POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER TROF. VERY WARM AIR WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST
AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM INTO THE FORECAST AREA. DUE TO AN EXTREMELY
HIGH AMOUNT OF SURFACE MOISTURE AVAILABLE...THE COMBINATION OF
TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE LOWER 90S AND VERY HIGH HUMIDITY WITH
CAUSE HEAT INDICES TO SOAR WELL ABOVE 100 DEGREES OVER MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. HEAT CONDITIONS COULD BECOME
DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN THE BACKDROP OF THE RECENT RELATIVELY COOL
WEATHER. FOR NOW...PLAN TO HANDLE THESE HEAT CONDITIONS IN BOTH A
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT AND THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. A HEAT
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR SATURDAY. SOMEWHAT OF AN ELEVATED
MIXED LAYER WILL SPREAD INTO THE FORECAST AREA. ALTHOUGH SOME LOW
LEVEL CAPPING IS LIKELY WITH THIS LAYER...STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES COMBINED WITH VERY HIGH DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER LAYERS WILL
CAUSE AFTERNOON CAPE VALUES TO CLIMB TO BETWEEN 4000 AND 6000 J/KG
PER BUFKIT GFS AND NAM LATEST RUNS. HAVE KEPT THE MENTION OF
AFTERNOON STORMS WITH THESE UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. THERE IS A BETTER
CHANCE FOR STORMS SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE
STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS GIVEN
THESE CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 636 AM EDT FRI JUL 17 2015

PER SFC OBS A SMALL AREA OF MVFR CIGS HAVE MOVED INTO KSBN EARLY
THIS MORNING. UPSTREAM OBS ARE VFR SO EXPECT THESE TO MOVE THROUGH
RATHER QUICKLY. SHOULD SEE HIGHER CLOUDS THIN AND MIXING WILL LEAD
TO SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 KNOTS TODAY. ISOLATED TSRA POSSIBLE
THIS AFTERNOON WITH PEAK HEATING BUT NO STRONG MECHANISM TO
INITIATE OR FOCUS CONVECTION. THEREFORE HAVE LEFT OUT ANY MENTION
AT TERMINALS FOR NOW DUE TO LOW PROBABILITIES. WINDS BECOME LIGHT
TONIGHT AND EXPECT AREAS OF BR TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT.
