Flood Statement
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
1140 AM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018
...A Flood Warning continues for portions of the following rivers in
Indiana...
Wabash River...White River...
.As of late Sunday morning lowland flooding continued along the
lower reaches of the Wabash and White Rivers. Rainfall from this
weekend's storm system will either slow the fall of the rivers or
cause a slight rise in this area. Noteworthy rises are expected
along the Wabash from around the Hutsonville area northward, where
crests of up to about three feet above flood stage should occur.
Flooding will likely not end until this upcoming weekend or early
next week.
New flooding is not expected along the White and East Fork White
Rivers as well as other waterways in central and southern Indiana
under the responsibility of the National Weather Service office in
Indianapolis.
Rainfall has been largely been lighter than expected across
central and southern Indiana, and the heavier rainfall was a
bit later than expected. This is resulting in lower and slightly
delayed rises in river levels than originally anticipated. As
of late Sunday morning rain was ending west to east across Indiana.
Less than one quarter of an inch of rain is expected in locations
still receiving rainfall. A 20 to 30 percent probability of rain
showers will remain with us behind the main area of rain through the
overnight hours, and snow showers may mix in overnight and Monday
morning.
Flood waters will continue to impact state, county, and local roads,
river parks, campgrounds, and other recreational activities near and
on waterways, and agricultural land.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...
Motorists should never drive into flood water. Turn around and go
another way. Keep children away from flooded areas. Recreational and
agricultural interests should remain alert to changing river
conditions.
For detailed flood information go to weather.gov/ind on the web and
click on rivers and lakes.

$$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 Apr 14, 10:30 AM EDT, 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 10:30 AM EDT, 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1030 AM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 128 AM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018 An Active weather weekend is ahead. Strong Low pressure in place over the plains will push a surge of rain showers across Indiana today ahead of a cold front. More rain will be expected tonight as the cold front passes as the low pressure system moves toward the Great Lakes. The Low will be lingering near Lake Michigan on Sunday as the cold front exits east of Indiana. This will create chances for a few rain showers...however any precipitation should be lighter than Today. An upper level low pressure system will then linger across Central Indiana on Sunday Night into Monday and this may bring a few more chances for rain or snow showers on Sunday Night into Monday. The upper low will finally exit the area on Monday Night into Tuesday...bringing a a return dry weather and moderating temperatures for the middle of the next work week. && .NEAR TERM /Today/... Issued at 128 AM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018 Surface analysis early this morning shows Low Pressure in place over NB and NRN MO...with a cold front stretching south across Western Missouri into Western Kansas. Water Vapor shows a plume of deep tropical moisture streaming ahead of the low into the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys....along with a deep upper low over the western plains. Radar shows areas of rain over Illinois and MO...pushing NE within the flow toward Indiana. Models suggest a wet day today. Models suggest the plume of moisture west of the state will advect to Central Indiana this morning and linger across the area through the day. Our forecast area looks to stay within the warm sector through the day with the warm front stretching across northern Indiana. Forecast soundings show a saturated column in place through the day. Time heights also show deep saturation in place with strong lift across the area today. Thus will trend toward 100 pops today. Forecast soundings show limited instability...thus an isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. Given our expected rain fall will trend highs colder than the forecast builder blends...closer toward the MAVMOS 3hourlys. && .SHORT TERM /Saturday Night through Monday Night/... Issued at 128 AM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018 THE GFS and NAM suggest more forcing arriving across the area tonight. Aloft the models suggest the upper low pushes a slightly negative tilted trough across Indiana...providing strong with along with the expected surface cold front passage late on Saturday Night. Again...forecast soundings and time heights show deep saturation and excellent forcing in play. Thus will trend again toward 100 pops overnight. As for temps will stick close to the forecast builder blend due to the arrival of a new air mass in the wake of the front. On Sunday and Sunday night the GFS and NAM suggest the upper low begins to push slowly across NW Indiana toward the Great Lakes. The Models suggest the dry slot moving across the forecast area on Sunday in the wake of the low...however...forecast soundings tell a different story with steep lapse rates and favorable convective temperatures. Thus some afternoon showers will be possible within the large...broad cyclonic flow that will be in place across the region. On Sunday night...wrap around moisture looks to arrive as cold air advection continues. Forecast soundings fall to a snow sounding with saturation within the lower levels. Thus again...some light snow showers will be possible. Will trend temps here at or below the forecast builder blends. On Monday...the upper low finally begins to depart to the northeast...however broad cyclonic flow remains in place across the regions as the big surface low remains over the Great Lakes. Forecast soundings again show steep lapse rates within the lower levels...hinting at instability showers. Thus shower chances will continue to be required. Finally by Monday night as heating is lost and High pressure over the middle Mississippi river valley builds toward Indiana...ending the cyclonic flow and shower chances. Thus a return to dry weather then. && .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday Night/... Issued at 335 AM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018 A very broad area of low pressure will encompass much of eastern Canada and the northeast U.S. early in the period. However, ridging behind it will keep conditions dry across central Indiana on Tuesday. So, focus then turns to Wednesday when a warm front bumps high temperatures back into the mid to upper 60s. The associated surface low and upper trough tracking through the Midwest will also trigger some light rain showers (mainly north). After that, the latest blended initialization is really trending toward a dry and slightly cooler forecast for the second half of the extended period as high pressure strengthens over the central U.S. Due to the strength of that ridge, will not deviate from the blended initialization at this time by adding any precipitation chances. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 14/15Z IND TAF Update/... Issued at 1030 AM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018 Pulled VCTS due to lightning and instability trends. Also, changed winds to 210 degrees. Previous discussion follows... Issued at 739 AM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018 Showers and thunderstorms will impact TAF sites throughout TAF period as Gulf moisture surges ahead of surface low. VFR conditions should prevail through the afternoon, but there will be rapid deterioration to IFR this evening as ceilings fall. Meanwhile, southerly winds will strengthen this afternoon with sustained speeds of 11 to 13 kts and gusts up to 22 kts before becoming more southwesterly and slightly lighter late this evening. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...Puma NEAR TERM...Puma SHORT TERM...Puma LONG TERM....TDUD AVIATION...TDUD/MK
