$$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 Jul 11, 10:30 PM EDT, 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 11, 10:30 PM EDT, 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1030 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 .UPDATE... Near Term and Aviation sections have been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 246 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 A brief break from thunderstorms can be expected Wednesday, before rain chances return by Thursday with a cold front. High pressure will then provide dry conditions Saturday. A couple of fronts could bring some more rain to parts of the area Sunday and Tuesday. Hot and humid conditions midweek will give way to closer to average conditions by the weekend. && .NEAR TERM.../Rest of Tonight/ Issued at 1030 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 Thunderstorms have redeveloped over extreme northern Illinois... but these should stay well north of our region. Radar indicated a few light echoes across our far north. Main change with this update is to drop mention of thunder rest of tonight and to keep a slight chance of showers far north to about 09Z. Low temperatures near 70 still seems on track given dewpoints near 70 and some wind and warm advection overnight. && .SHORT TERM.../Wednesday through Friday/ Issued at 246 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 Models are close enough that the model blend initialization was accepted for most items. On Wednesday the upper ridge nudges into the area and temperatures aloft warm. This should inhibit convection for the much of the area. Cannot rule out an isolated storm, but odds are too low to mention. Went cooler than most guidance for highs across a good part of the area with the wet ground. It will still be very warm though with highs in the upper 80s to around 90. Wednesday night a cold front will approach the area, so will go with some chance PoPs across the northwest half or so of the forecast area. As the front moves into the area Thursday and Thursday night will go chance PoPs all areas. Will keep some lingering PoPs Friday as the front exits. Wouldn't rule out some strong storms on Thursday with the front. Confidence is medium in chances and timing of rain during the short term as how convection develops one period could affect the next period's chances. && .LONG TERM /Friday night through Monday/... Issued at 212 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 Central Indiana is expected to dry out this weekend and early next week as ensembles expand the Rockies upper ridge to the northeast. This will help let river and stream crests progress as quickly as possible. Confidence in mostly dry weather is good. See not reason to mess with seasonable blend temperatures with highs mostly in the 80s. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 120300Z KIND TAF Update/... Issued at 1030 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 Minor tweaks made to KIND TAF to better match current conditions. No other changes are needed at this time. Previous aviation discussion follows...VFR through the period. MCS has moved out and latest short term models indicate quiet weather overnight and Wednesday as high pressure along the southeast U.S. coast and low pressure moving from the central plains to upper midwest keeps us under a Southwest flow. Could be some marginal low level wind shear at KLAF late tonight as pressure gradient a little stronger there. Added a little diurnal CU at TAF sites Wednesday. Winds will be southwest 5 to 8 knots overnight and around 12 knots Wednesday. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...50 NEAR TERM...JH SHORT TERM...50 LONG TERM...MK AVIATION...JH
Hazardous weather outlook, Jul 11, 7:42 PM EDT, 3 hours 47 minutes before
Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 742 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 INZ021-028>031-035>049-051>057-060>065-067>072-122345- Carroll-Warren-Tippecanoe-Clinton-Howard-Fountain-Montgomery-Boone- Tipton-Hamilton-Madison-Delaware-Randolph-Vermillion-Parke-Putnam- Hendricks-Marion-Hancock-Henry-Vigo-Clay-Owen-Morgan-Johnson-Shelby- Rush-Sullivan-Greene-Monroe-Brown-Bartholomew-Decatur-Knox-Daviess- Martin-Lawrence-Jackson-Jennings- Including the cities of Lafayette, Frankfort, Kokomo, Crawfordsville, Anderson, Muncie, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Shelbyville, Bloomington, Columbus, Vincennes, Bedford, and Seymour 742 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2017 This hazardous weather outlook is for central Indiana. .DAY ONE...Tonight. Outlook: Residual flooding will continue from earlier storms. Isolated thunderstorms (north). Hazards: Flash Flooding, gusty winds, frequent lightning, heavy rain. Timing: This evening and into tonight. Discussion: A frontal boundary, along with several upper level weather disturbances could generate additional isolated thunderstorms into tonight across the northern counties. Some storms may produce heavy rain which could result in further flooding. Lightning is a threat from any storm. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday. Outlook: Periodic threats for strong to severe thunderstorms will exist through Friday and again Sunday/Sunday night. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main severe threats. Dangerous cloud to ground lightning and heavy rainfall are threats with any thunderstorm. Thunderstorms over the next few days will have the potential to bring several inches of rain to parts of central Indiana. With many locations already having saturated ground and elevated water levels, any additional rain would bring a return of flooding and exacerbate existing flooding. In addition to the storms...dewpoints will surge into the middle 70s through Thursday...creating oppressive conditions as high temperatures warm into the upper 80s and lower 90s in some locations. This will create max heat indices in the middle 90s to near 100. Discussion: Daily chances for storms will continue through Friday as a northwest flow aloft enables several upper level disturbances to track across the region and interact with a frontal boundary. Another front will bring additional chances for showers and thunderstorms on Sunday and Sunday night. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be needed at times through the week. && More information, along with other weather, hydrological and climate information can be found at http://weather.gov/ind
