$$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 Aug 13, 10:31 AM EDT, 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 10:31 AM EDT, 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1031 AM EDT SAT AUG 13 2016 .UPDATE... Aviation section updated && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 337 AM EDT Sat Aug 13 2016 A front will move into the area today and stall out in the vicinity this weekend and remain there into early next week. With very moist air in place, rain, potentially heavy at times, will fall at times into next week. Although humid conditions will continue, temperatures will be near to below average. && .NEAR TERM.../Today/ Issued at 337 AM EDT Sat Aug 13 2016 Coverage of showers and thunderstorms have decreased significantly across Illinois early this morning with loss of instability. Will lower pre-first period pops to account for this. Expect convection to refire this morning and especially this afternoon with the front moving into the area, along with boundaries from the dying convection to the west. Some uncertainties exist of when the convection will actually begin to significantly redevelop, with short rage models changing timing with each run. However, still expect highest coverage in the afternoon when better instability will be present and when additional forcing from the right entrance region of an upper jet moves in. Will go with likely or categorical pops most areas today. Moisture remains plentiful with precipitable water values over 2 inches. Highest amounts are across the southern forecast area. Significant rainfall fell with the storms across Illinois on Friday and could see the same thing happen here today, especially south. Will issue a Flash Flood Watch across the southern two tiers of counties starting this afternoon. For additional information, see the Hydrology section. Plenty of cloud cover will be around today, and this will help keep temperatures cooler than previous days. && .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Monday night/ Issued at 337 AM EDT Sat Aug 13 2016 Focus remains on heavy rain threat during the period. Stuck with a model blend for the most part due to inherent uncertainties in these convective heavy rainfall situations. Front will remain in the vicinity of the area during the short term. Effective boundary though will likely depend on where convective outflows end up and will have an impact on where best chances of rain will be. Throughout the short term the area will remain near the right entrance region of an upper jet that will continue to provide additional forcing. Front/effective boundary will settle south tonight so will diminish pops north to south during the night. At 00Z will go with chance pops northwest half and likely to categorical pops southeast half, with only the south third of the area having likely pops by late tonight. Sunday will have likely pops roughly southern half with chance pops north. Some drier air may work into the northern forecast area during the afternoon so lowered pops there during that time. A relative lull will occur Sunday evening with chance or lower pops all areas, but then pops will increase south to north overnight Sunday night into Monday night as upper forcing increases. This will be the result of the arrival of upper support as the remnants of the upper system currently over the Gulf states arrives in the area. Heavy rain will remain a threat across the south, closer to the boundary and with the highest precipitable water values. For now will continue the Flash Flood Watch through 12Z Monday. Will reevaluate this as needed as the event unfolds. && .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/... Issued at 337 AM EDT Sat Aug 13 2016 The very wet conditions of the short term will continue at least into early Tuesday as a weak area of low pressure moves across northern Indiana. Models indicate a frontal system will lift north of the area Tuesday night and we will be under a humid southwest flow rest of the long term period through day 7. This combined with a series of weak upper disturbances will keep us with a daily chance of thunderstorms much of next week. Generally stayed close to model initialized temperatures. Clouds and precipitation will keep high temperatures slightly cooler than normal Tuesday...but high temperatures will rise to slightly above normal after the middle of next week. Lows will be slightly warmer than normal much of the period. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 131500z IND taf Update/... MVFR conditions expected at most TAF site the next few hours. Radar beginning to show development across the area as bands of Precip were stretching from near Muncie to IND to near Vincennes. Coverage should continue to increase as daytime heating induces a bit of instability. At the moment Lightning strikes appear limited in the area...and have trended toward showers for the next few hours. Previous discussion below /Discussion for the 13/1200Z TAF Issuance/... Issued at 715 AM EDT SAT AUG 13 2016 Marginal flying conditions will be the rule as scattered showers spread east across central Indiana this morning and numerous showers and thunderstorms occur this afternoon. A cold front from the southern tip of lake Michigan to just south of KSTL will stall across the southern portions of central Indiana tonight and numerous showers and thunderstorms will occur over southern sections tonight. Could be periods of VFR ceilings outside of showers and storms this afternoon...but conditions should be predominately MVFR. Model soundings indicate areas of IFR ceilings and visibilities will occur later tonight. Winds will be south to southwest around 8 knots today and light west or southwest tonight. && .IND Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
