Flood Statement

1041 AM EDT Fri Jun 15 2018

...A Flood Warning continues for portions of the following rivers and
streams in Indiana...

  Muscatatuck River...Wabash River...


.Lowland flooding continued along portions of the Wabash and 
Muscatatuck Rivers in western and southern Indiana late Thursday 
evening.

Locally heavy rains of more than 2 inches fell in southern 
Bartholomew County on Wednesday afternoon. Flooding will end in this 
area by Monday.

High water from the Embarras River in southeast Illinois continued 
to cause the Wabash River to slowly rise in the New Harmony area.  
The Wabash River will crest near flood stage in these areas by 
Monday. The Wabash will fall below flood stage from Terre Haute 
to Vincennes by Tuesday.

River flooding continued to affect some local roads...river parks 
and low agricultural land. 

Little rain is expected through Monday.  This will allow rivers to 
recede somewhat.


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.

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 Jun 14, 6:15 AM EDT, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 6:15 AM EDT, 1 hour 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
615 AM EDT Thu Jun 14 2018

.UPDATE...
The AVIATION Section has been updated below.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 320 AM EDT Thu Jun 14 2018

In the wake of a departing front, surface high pressure will move
into the area today. As the surface ridge moves eastward, the
heart of the upper level ridge will begin to push into the area
for the weekend. This will keep the area dry but bring hotter
temperatures into the area. Thunderstorm chances will return to
the area early next week as the ridge weakens and moves southward,
allowing a frontal system to influence the area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Today/...
Issued at 320 AM EDT Thu Jun 14 2018

As convective temperatures appear unreachable and much drier air
works into the area, expect mostly sunny skies and pleasant summer
weather today.

Consensus temperatures appeared a bit cool given upstream numbers.
Most areas should have no trouble reaching the mid 80s today.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...
Issued at 320 AM EDT Thu Jun 14 2018

The upper level ridge will build over the area during the short
term, deflecting the bulk of organized 'ring of fire' convection
north of the area, and resulting in a hotter forecast through the
weekend. Peak heat indices over 100 degrees will be possible at
least on Sunday, and these numbers may be approached on Saturday
and Monday across portions of the area.

Will keep the forecast dry despite some hint of convection in the
model blends. Cannot entirely rule out an isolated pop up near
peak heating as dewpoints begin to increase again over the
weekend, but subsidence under the ridge will be battling against
this and forecast soundings appear largely capped during the short
term.

&&

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Wednesday/...
Issued at 202 AM EDT Thu Jun 14 2018

Warm...hot and humid pattern looks to continue into early next
week. The ECMWF continues to suggest strong High pressure and
ridging aloft over Indiana next week. Again...this will keep any
forcing dynamic well north of Indiana.

The ECMWF suggest a weak tropical Wave arriving from the
southwest on Tuesday into Wednesday. Have kept some low chance
pops to account for for this feature but confidence is low. Still
ample heat and moisture should be in place through the middle of
next week.

Overall...look for hot and humid conditions during this period.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for the 141200Z Tafs/...

Issued at 615 AM EDT Thu Jun 14 2018

VFR Conidtions are expected this Taf period.

High pressure is expected to build across the area today. Forecast
soundings show a dry column with unreachable convective
temperatures. Thus we will only expect a few passing high clouds
as seen on GOES16. Furthermore as the surface high builds across
the area...winds will remain variable and light.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
