What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at Apr 28, 10:26 AM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 10:26 AM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1026 AM EDT Fri Apr 28 2017 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 218 AM EDT Fri Apr 28 2017 Active Spring weather will be ahead this weekend. Low pressure developing over the Central Plains is expected to push a warm front back across Indiana late tonight and tonight. Showers and storms are expected to accompany the front. Warm and moist southerly flow will be in place across Indiana for Saturday and Sunday. This along with weak upper level weather disturbances emerging from the low to the west may generate more showers and storms on Saturday and Saturday night. The best chances for showers and storms will be on Sunday Night as the Low to the west finally pulls northeast toward the great Lakes...dragging a strong cold front across Indiana. Heavy rains could occur. The spring like pattern of cool and wet weather is expected to continue into the next work week. && .NEAR TERM /Today/... Issued at 928 AM EDT Fri Apr 28 2017 Added slight chance morning showers southwest to cover current activity that was lifting northeast per radar loop. Previous discussion follows... Issued at 218 AM EDT Fri Apr 28 2017 Surface analysis early this morning shows broad high pressure in place across the Ohio Valley. Low pressure was found across the Texas panhandle. National Radar Mosaics showed showers streaming across Oklahoma...ahead of the low. Water Vapor imagery shows a broad trough in place across much of the CONUS...sweeping southeast from the pacific northwest to Texas...then northeast toward eastern Great lakes. Models suggest the weak high pressure system across the area will quick move east today. Return flow around the low will allow a the old stalled front to the south to return to the Ohio Valley late this afternoon and early this evening. THis will act as a trigger for showers and storm development. Time height sections show excellent lower and mid level moisture available as this feature passes toward 00Z. Models also hinting at good pwats over 1.5 inches. The 300K GFS Isentropic surface shows excellent up-glide late today with specific humidities over 9 g/kg. Thus will start much of the day as dry...but will really ramp pops upward in the 20Z-24Z period as the warm front begins to pass across the area. Given the expected heating...warm air advection and several rain free hours today...will trend highs warmer than mavmos. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight tHrough Sunday Night/... Issued at 218 AM EDT Fri Apr 28 2017 A very active weekend ahead. GFS and NAm push the warm front north to Northern Indiana and Michigan on Friday night...placing much of Indiana within the warm sector. Best Isentropic lift is lost after 06Z-09Z as the front and the associated dynamics push northward. Time heights also trend toward subsidence after 06Z. THus will start the tonight period with high pops as the front is expected to be passing and then trend lower as the night progresses as the front and associated dynamics weaken and push to the north. Given the expected ongoing warm air advection tonight and cloud cover will trend lows at or above mavmos. More rounds of rain will be possible on Saturday and Saturday Night. GFS and NAM suggest Indiana will be place within the warm and moist flow within the warm sector. Models suggest that the deep low pressure over the deep low pressure over the southern plains will eject several weak embedded short wave toward Missouri...Illinois and Indiana. However...the warm frontal boundary which should be a focus for precip should be well to the north by Saturday. Furthermore...as the day progresses on Saturday...forecast soundings show some drying within the column. As the models tend to have difficulties tracking these weak waves being ejected and the placement of the expected warm front remains to the north of Central Indiana...confidence is low in this forecast. Higher confidence for heavy rains appear to be out of the IND forecast area...farther to the west...within the expected flow. Thus will keep pops in the forecast for now given the uncertainty of the evolution of this system...with best pops on Saturday and Saturday Night at the NW points of the forecast area. Again...with Indiana within the warm sector...will trend highs and lows at or above MAVMOS. Best organization arrives in the area on Sunday afternoon and Sunday night as the upper low is finally expected to begin to push northeast. Strong dynamics ahead of the low will push across Indiana late in the day and into Sunday evening. Forecast soundings again suggest a saturated column from 21Z monday through 06Z Sunday. The 310K GFS Isentropic surface shows strong upglide along with favorable specific humidities over 5 g/kg. Forecast soundings show Pwats are over 1.5 inches as well. Thus confidence for showers/storms a is High for Sunday afternoon and Sunday night. Forecast Builder willing...will try to trend pops highest during that time frame. Will work a blend on Temps. Confidence in widespread heavy rain event for Central Indiana remains low. As stated earlier...best forcing appears to be west of central Indiana...across Illinois and Missouri...within the flow. Furthermore the the warm frontal position on Saturday remains uncertain. Don't get us wrong...we have high confidence in some rain for central Indiana this weekend...particularly on this afternoon/tonight and again on Sunday afternoon and Sunday night as it is at these time when the best forcing will be pushing through the area. However...the extra forcing and rain to result in a heavy rain event on Saturday an Saturday Night remains uncertain for Central Indiana...due to a lack of organized forcing...and models hinting at a dry column much of Saturday Afternoon and Saturday Night. && .LONG TERM /Monday through Thursday/... Issued at 240 AM EDT Fri Apr 28 2017 Ensembles indicate that system that is expected to affect the area over the weekend will be in the process of lifting off into the Great Lakes by Monday. Will keep some PoPs in the forecast for Monday and Monday night to cover potential shower activity in the post frontal zone. There is quite a bit of variance among the ensembles as to the strength and location of the next trough that is expected to move into the area around the middle of next week. Some of the members indicate a strong low pressure system moving into the area, while others are weaker and/or more suppressed. Differences are probably due to phasing issues. Will go with PoPs for next Wednesday and Thursday for now and monitor future trends. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 281500Z TAF Update/... Issued at 1026 AM EDT Fri Apr 28 2017 A band of light rain might move through KIND within an hour, but no impact to visibility or ceiling is expected. Better chances for rain arrive in afternoon, so only made minor changes to the TAF. Previous discussion follows... Layered clouds above 050 expected at the terminals today, along with the potential for some diurnal cloud development based near 035 by the early afternoon hours. Although there may be some widely scattered light shower activity around later this morning, it appears the better threat for convective activity in the vicinity of the terminals will be after about 282000Z. Upper disturbance currently located over eastern Oklahoma/Kansas will begin moving into the area by that time, accompanied by steepening mid level lapse rates. Brief IFR visibility restrictions possible in heavier showers. CB bases 035-040. Surface winds 110-150 degrees at 5-8 kts this morning will increase to 9-12 kts by this afternoon. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
