$$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 Jan 15, 9:33 AM EST, 2 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 9:33 AM EST, 2 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 933 AM EST Sun Jan 15 2017 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 259 AM EST Sun Jan 15 2017 Upper level energy will bring chances for a light wintry mix at times today and tonight, then a low pressure system will bring rain chances Monday and Tuesday. Dry weather will then return for mid to late week next week. Temperatures will generally remain above average through the period. && .NEAR TERM.../Today/ Issued at 259 AM EST Sun Jan 15 2017 Isentropic lift will increase today, especially across the southern forecast area, as some upper level energy moves in. Forcing is not that impressive, but it looks to be enough to go likely PoPs for a time this afternoon across the southwestern forecast area. Dry air will and weaker lift will help keep the northeast forecast area dry today (although can't rule out a few sprinkles this afternoon). Temperatures will be cold enough to cause the potential once again for some freezing rain this morning across southwestern sections of the area. However, temperatures will be pretty close to freezing, and road temperatures will likely be a little above freezing. With light QPF amounts during the cold period and marginal if any icing on roads, impacts should be limited. Will just issue a Special Weather Statement to cover potential slick spots. Went a little below MOS most areas and closer to a model blend given extensive cloud cover and some precipitation. && .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Tuesday night/ Issued at 259 AM EST Sun Jan 15 2017 Models are close enough that the SuperBlend initialization was accepted for most items. Weak lift continues tonight with some weak warm advection aloft. Will go with mainly slight chance to low end chance category PoPs. Precipitation type will be in question again as surface temperatures fall below freezing again but with continued warm air aloft. Thus freezing rain will again be possible tonight, mainly across the north half of the area. However, low PoPs and very low QPF amounts lead to low confidence of any impacts. Will just mention it in a Special Weather Statement. These chances will continue into early in the day on Monday as well before temperatures warm up everywhere. Better chances for precipitation (all rain this time) arrive later Monday afternoon into Monday night as a surface low and upper level trough approach the area. Went with the initialization's likely or higher PoPs. Some uncertainty on how a second upper trough evolves Tuesday and Tuesday night, so kept the initialization's lower PoPs during that period. Stayed with a model blend for temperatures. && .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Saturday/... Issued at 149 AM EST Sun Jan 15 2017 ECMWF suggests a departing short wave will have exited the area on Wednesday...allowing strong Ridging over the Mississippi Valley to develop and build across the Ohio Valley. By Thursday...strong ridging aloft will be in place across the region...allowing dry weather to persist. ECMWF then suggests a negatively tilted short wave moving through the Ohio Valley on Friday. A strong warm front also surges northward across Indiana as southerly flow establishes itself through the region. Superblend suggests dry to no pops with these features which appears curious to this forecaster. Thus confidence in the Friday and Friday night Period precip wise is low. Southerly flow and ridging looks to be in place on Saturday...allowing above normal temps which are expected through much of this period. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 15/1500Z TAF Update/... Issued at 929 AM EST Sun Jan 15 2017 UPDATE... Reduced visibilities from VFR to MVFR category at KIND through mid-morning. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... IFR to MVFR conditions are expected to improve to Mvfr to VFR Today...before returning to MVFr or IFR overnight. Ongoing IFR conditions are expected to improve after sun rise as high pressure moves across the Great Lakes. Another short wave is expected to push across Central Indiana this afternoon...spreading showers across the area. A warm front is then expected to Surge northward toward Indiana from the Tennessee Valley. Forecast soundings then show deep saturation...suggesting rain along with good saturation within the lowest level...suggesting low CIGs. Thus a return to IFR will be expected overnight. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...50 NEAR TERM...50 SHORT TERM...50 LONG TERM....Puma AVIATION...JP/TDUD
