$$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 May 5, 10:08 AM EDT, 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 5, 10:08 AM EDT, 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1008 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 .UPDATE... The Near Term and Aviation sections have been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 307 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 An area of low pressure will move off to the east today, but another quick moving low will move in tonight into Saturday. The result will be a continuation of rain across central Indiana into Saturday. High pressure will then build in and bring dry conditions early next week. Another system will bring more rain chances mid week next week. Temperatures will remain below normal through the period. && .NEAR TERM.../Today/ Issued at 1008 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 Adjusted pops to be more in line with sharp cutoff of precip from east to west, and lowered max temps slightly across the east where precip will be most persistent through the day. Previous discussion follows. Issued at 307 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 Rain has become scattered across central Indiana early this morning. However, that will change as an area of deformation sets up across the eastern half of the area later this morning. This plus additional isentropic lift will lead to high PoPs and the potential for additional heavy rain across mainly the southeastern half of the area today. Lower PoPs will exist to the west where forcing is weaker. Forcing gets strung out and moves east during the afternoon, so PoPs will diminish from west to east. Precipitable water values remain over an inch across the southeast half of the forecast area. Will maintain Flash Flood Watch there. Will shave off a row of counties along the western border where rainfall is expected to be lighter. If the deformation band were to set up farther east, then more of the watch may be cleared later this morning. At any rate, flooding is ongoing across many areas so area flood warnings will continue as needed. Some partial clearing may occur across the west, so went in the upper 50s for highs there. Across the far east where rain and clouds will continue, went near 50 for a high today. && .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Sunday night/ Issued at 307 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 Models are close enough that the model blend initialization was accepted for most items. Another spoke of upper energy will move across the forecast area tonight into early Saturday along with a surface low. The left exit region of an upper jet will provide additional forcing. Moisture looks adequate enough for high chance category PoPs, after 06Z. These will continue into Saturday morning, the PoPs will diminish Saturday afternoon as the system moves away. A couple of tenths of an inch of rain are possible in some areas. High pressure will then build in and provide a dry forecast for the remainder of the short term. Temperatures will dip into the 30s Saturday night and Sunday night. Winds look to stay up enough to prevent widespread frost Saturday night, but will have to watch out for Sunday night with lighter winds. && .LONG TERM /Monday through Thursday/... Issued at 338 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 Models in general have central Indiana in between 2 upper lows for the long term. Meanwhile, a frontal system will be over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Upper waves in northwest flow aloft along with the front and sufficient moisture justify shower chances over all or parts of central Indiana starting Monday night. Chances and coverage will increase by Tuesday night as the western upper low moves closer. Could see a few storms as well, mainly southwest and Tuesday afternoon and night. After a cold and possibly frosty Monday morning, temperatures will moderate with highs returning to near normal by Tuesday with highs in the 60s. Southwestern parts of the forecast area could even see some 70s. Blend reflected this well. && .AVIATION /Discussion for 05/15Z TAF Update/... Issued at 1008 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 Minor adjustments required to bring LAF more in line with obs, remainder of TAFs in good shape. Previous discussion follows. Issued at 638 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017 Moderate confidence that MVFR flying conditions will improve to VFR 15z-18z. Good confidence the showers should end 15z-21z from west to east. It will be windy once again with north winds to 20 knots and gusts to 31 knots through 22z. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
