$$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 13, 7:12 PM EDT, 2 hours 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 7:12 PM EDT, 2 hours 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 712 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017 .UPDATE... Aviation section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 335 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017 A cold front will slowly move through the area tonight into early Friday, with additional chances for showers and storms, some of which will likely produce heavy rainfall. An ongoing flash flood watch will be left in place. High pressure in the wake of the front will bring a sorely needed break from the recent wet weather to the area for much of the weekend. Another upper level disturbance and weak surface front moving through the area on Sunday may spark a few afternoon showers and storms, but much of next week looks to be a bit drier. && .NEAR TERM /Tonight/... Issued at 335 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017 A weak cold front is expected to move through the area tonight. Along with remnant outflows over the southern portions of the area, this will serve as a potential focus for convective development. Will focus the highest pops across the south this evening. Chances will diminish late tonight with waning instability. Cannot rule out a few severe storms but the major threat continues to be hydrologic in nature. Precipitable water values are near 99th percentile for the time of year and the ground remains saturated from recent heavy rains. Additionally, very high freezing levels in excess of 15kft suggest warm rain processes/highly efficient rainfall producing storms. Will keep the current flash flood watch in place through the night. Consensus temperatures appeared a bit warm and were tweaked downward a bit due to combination of weak cold front and lower dewpoints moving into the area. && .SHORT TERM /Friday through Sunday/... Issued at 335 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017 Will accept consensus low pops across the far south/southeast tomorrow morning as the front slowly makes its way out of the area, but confidence is low in these chances. The majority of the day should be dry, and dry weather will persist through Sunday morning as high pressure moves through the region. A weak cold front and associated upper level disturbance will move into the area Sunday afternoon, and this will have the potential to spark a few showers or storms. Cannot justify more than chance pops at this point, however. Consensus temperatures appeared reasonable throughout with only mionr tweaks. && .LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Thursday/... Issued at 255 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017 Much of the extended is likely to give central Indiana a much needed break from the active weather...storms and flooding. However...signs growing towards a transition back into a stormier pattern by the second half of next week. Scattered convection with the upper wave moving through the region on Sunday is likely to linger into Sunday night before diminishing completely. High pressure will then build in with a resumption of the cooler and less humid conditions expected for Friday and Saturday to start the work week. The humidity levels will begin to creep back up by the middle of the week as the high shifts east and southerly flow returns into the Ohio Valley. The upper ridge over the western U S will shift back east into the central Plains and several of the extended models trying to build 590dam heights and greater into the region by Tuesday and Wednesday. Am skeptical that these mid level heights can make it into central Indiana as the models have been consistently hinting at that in the 5-7 day range for the last few weeks before eventually backing off in the following days. Think the more likely scenario is the ridge expands into the central Plains...placing the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley back into a northwest flow regime aloft for the second half of next week. Ultimately...that would cause a return to the active and stormy pattern experienced of late over the forecast area. && .AVIATION /Discussion for 140000Z TAF Issuance/... Issued at 712 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017 A period of MVFR or lower south half this evening with thunderstorms. Then another period of MVFR ceilings and fog or lower late tonight and early Friday. VFR rest of the time. Line of thunderstorms extending from just east of INDY to just north of Vincennes will continue moving southeast this evening. Heavy rain and brief IFR conditions possible. Quieter weather will occur rest of tonight as a cold front moves southeast across the area. Model soundings indicate MVFR ceilings and MVFR or IFR fog possible late tonight and early Friday. Then improving conditions late Friday morning on as high pressure builds in from the northwest. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
