$$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 23, 10:45 AM EDT, 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 10:45 AM EDT, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1045 AM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 .UPDATE... The Aviation Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 945 AM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 One more day with very humid conditions is expected today before a cold front sweeps through the area tonight. Showers and thunderstorms this morning should exit the area by early afternoon but then could redevelop late afternoon into this evening ahead of the front. High pressure will build in Monday bringing dry...cooler and less humid air to central Indiana through the first half of the week. Rain and thunderstorms return Thursday as another cold front passes through the area before dry weather returns to the Ohio Valley for next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /Rest of Today/... Issued at 945 AM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 Significant changes made to the forecast for today with the morning update. Convection this morning is much more widespread than earlier indications. Based update mainly on current radar and satellite trends with a lesser reliance on hi res models, which have been woefully inconsistent. Large area of showers and storms across the southern counties necessitates categorical pops, but coverage across the northern and central counties only merits scattered mention. Also across the central and north lightning is not nearly as widespread and thus went with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms there over the next few hours. Satellite data indicates cloud tops are warming in the south and maintaining in the north but not cooling which should lead to less lightning production with time. Have seen an uptick in lightning over last 15 minutes though in the north so may need to increase thunderstorm coverage wording there as well. With the increase in convective coverage have also seen an increase in cloud cover, so now not expecting much clearing until mid afternoon. Adjusted high temperatures down a bit with this, but not a lot as could still see enough sunshine for them to jump quickly mid to late afternoon and early evening. For this afternoon/evening convection, very low confidence on forecast. Hi res models are indicating there should be dry time starting around noon to 2 pm, but then show scattered redevelopment starting around 5 with differences in timing and locations each run. Looking at current conditions and upper wave moving in later from the north, have medium confidence in a dry period early this afternoon but low confidence in exact timing, and ultimately low confidence in redevelopment with uncertainty concerning recovery of airmass. Will maintain slight chance south and west and low chance north and east for the afternoon/evening as inherited for now, but closely monitor trends for another update. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/... Issued at 332 AM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 Forecast challenges focus on precip chances tonight before high pressure takes over with cooler and less humid air finally arriving. Any scattered convection with the secondary front this evening will likely be ongoing at 00Z. Storms should diminish in coverage and intensity by late evening with loss of diurnal heating and as the upper wave shifts east of the region. Will maintain low chance pops through 06Z then go dry. The frontal boundary will sag to near the Ohio River by early Monday morning...continuing further south on Monday into the Tennessee Valley. High pressure will expand south from the Great Lakes and finally advect a more refreshing airmass into central Indiana. The high will serve as the dominant influence on weather across the region for the remainder of the short term as it tracks east across the Great Lakes. Cu remain possible during the afternoons but overall cloud coverage will be low as model soundings show capped mid levels and plenty of dry air and subsidence present aloft. Temps...more seasonable temperatures will return through the period as highs fall back into the low and mid 80s with lows in the 60s. Maybe most importantly...the very high dewpoint air will be forced south with the front tonight and Monday and will not return through Tuesday night as dry low level flow from the north and east persists. Overall forecast confidence is high after tonight. && .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Saturday/... Issued at 215 AM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 This is a high confidence forecast. Temperature errors should mostly be 2 degrees or less. POP errors should be mostly 10 percent or less. Wind in the upper atmosphere are going to remain unusually strong for this time of year, producing well defined weather systems that are relatively easy to forecast. The American and European systems are in good agreement, suggesting they are on the right track. && .AVIATION (Discussion for 231500Z TAF update)... Issued at 1045 AM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017 Earlier, tempo'd in some -tsra and IFR/MVFR conditions at the sites experiencing convection. At this point, looks like showers and storms are moving away from the sites (with the exception of a storm approaching KLAF from the north) and should see a return to VFR over the next couple of hours. After that could see redevelopment of convection this afternoon, but confidence in timing and location is too low to make changes to that part of the forecast at this point. Previous discussion follows... Thunderstorms are possible today and early tonight. VLIFR and strong winds are possible in storms, but will be of short duration at any given site. The TAFs in this package can capture this only in very general terms and may be updated frequently. Otherwise, expect VFR with ceilings around 5 thousand feet today and 10 thousand feet or better tonight. Winds will become northwest less than 10 knots today, then light and variable tonight. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
