What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 11:57 AM EDT, 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
1157 AM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017

.UPDATE...
The NEAR TERM Section has been updated below.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 311 AM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017

A series of upper impulses will move around the edge of an upper
ridge. These will not only break down the ridge but also interact
with a hot and humid atmosphere to bring chances for showers and
thunderstorms through the work week. A cold front will bring more
chances for rain for the weekend. Temperatures will remain above
normal until early next week, when near average temperatures return.

&&

.NEAR TERM /This afternoon/...

Issued at 1155 AM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Update will try and capture scattered storms. Also given the
active convection and cloud cover, will likely remove 90 max temps
in many locations as temperatures in this convective zone have not
moved much and expect same this afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Thursday night/
Issued at 311 AM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Models are close enough that the model blend initialization
was accepted for most items.

Not a lot of change is expected tonight and Wednesday as additional
upper impulses erode the upper ridge and also generate scattered
convection at times. Will continue with chance PoPs.

A more potent upper wave moves through Wednesday night into
Thursday. With better forcing, went high end chance category to low
end likely category PoPs Wednesday night into Thursday. As forcing
weakens behind this wave, ended PoPs by overnight Thursday night.

With the stronger wave moving in, could see some strong to severe
storms later Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday evening. The Storm
Prediction Center has placed the forecast area into a Marginal Risk
in its Day 2 Outlook.

Stayed with the model blend for temperatures. Again, high
temperatures will likely depend on the amount of convection that
develops. It will still be hot and humid regardless.

&&

.LONG TERM /Friday through Monday/...
Issued at 253 AM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Long term models and ensembles support pops all weekend as a warm,
moist and unstable atmosphere interacts with and approaching cold
front and upper impulses in zonal flow, around the base of a south
central Canada low. The thunderstorms should be ending Sunday night
as the cold front is finally expected to move through. After that,
the trend will be for not as warm temperatures and dry weather.
Blend handles the overall scenario nicely.

&&

.AVIATION /update to KIND TAF/...

Issued at 1033 AM EDT Tue Jun 13 2017

VFR with wind near or below 10 knots except within storms where
Ohio observations have shown visibility below 2 miles in heavy
rain and wind gusts as high as 35 mph.

Scattered thunderstorms in this unstable air may be tied with
weak convergence in wind field.

Current slight scattering of cloud deck as main cluster of
storms in eastern Indiana moves away but increasing sunshine will
trigger more showers and storms as the day wears on.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
