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 Feb 21, 3:40 PM EST, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 21, 3:40 PM EST, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
340 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

.UPDATE...
The SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM and SHORT TERM Sections have been updated below.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 306 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

Wet pattern continues into early Sunday as a series of short waves
ride northeast from Texas up and across the Ohio and Tennessee
Valleys. Rainfall episodes tonight into early Thursday, Thursday
night into early Friday, and again Saturday and Saturday night
will in combination produce 2 to 5 inches of rainfall across the
area, especially south of I-70. High pressure will clear things
out Sunday and bring dry weather into midweek next week.

Temperatures will remain above normal through the next seven days
with tonight and Thursday the coolest in this period.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Tonight/...

Issued at 306 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

As the next short wave lifts out to our southwest, the rain area
will expand northward overnight across central Indiana. Rain
amounts over one inch are projected by both the NAM and GFS for
our southern counties which appears reasonable. Given that these
areas have just today started into the rain and that stream
levels are normal there, we do expect a rise in rivers and
ponding in the usual low lying areas but do not anticipate
significant flooding issues.

Further north from Lafayette to Tipton and Muncie, temperatures
will be approaching freezing overnight and thus the precipitation
expanding north will likely be a mix of snow with mostly rain.
Should air temperatures reach freezing a light glazing of ice may
occur on above ground surfaces. At the moment the ground is much
warmer than the air and the likelihood of the ground reaching
freezing by tomorrow morning is pretty low. Will issue a special
weather statement to cover that possibility but at the moment that
does not appear to be a problem.

Forecast lows are near guidance in the lower 30s north and upper
30s south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Thursday through Saturday/...

Issued at 306 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

Wave 1 exits the area Thursday morning. Again a wintry mix of
precipitation may continue into the first few hours after
daybreak before temperatures are no longer an issue. Temperatures
near guidance were followed ranging from maxs near 40 in the north
to near 50 in the south.

Wave 2 enters the picture Thursday night. Confidence in rain
amounts and the axis of heaviest rain is low given differences
between available models. A lean towards a compromise between the
models with a rain maximum axis between I-70 and the East Fork
White River looks best. Rain amounts from this wave near one inch
appear in line.

The final wave arrives Saturday with strong dynamics and continued
thrust of abnormally high moisture and with it, another inch of
rainfall by Sunday but this axis appears more likely to shift back
to our northern counties.

Thus the current flooding in the Upper Wabash will have a respite
from heavy rains into Saturday while the White and East Fork White
receive the brunt of rains tonight and Thursday night. The end
will result in river flooding, possibly major flooding, for some
stretches of the rivers.

As referenced in the synopsis, the period Thursday through
Saturday will remain warmer than normal with forecast temperatures
a blend of available model data.

&&

.LONG TERM /Saturday night through Wednesday/...

Issued at 213 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

As the long term begins, an upper wave is moving through central
Indiana. There is some instability with this pretty strong upper
system and surface cold front moving through, so included a thunder
mention. Rain could be heavy Saturday night until frontal passage,
with plenty of Gulf moisture to work with advected north on a strong
low level jet.

Once the front and upper trough pass through the area, dry weather
will move in to end the weekend and start next week. Broad upper
ridging slowly builds over the central and eastern U.S. during this
time. The GFS shows a weak upper wave sliding through to the north
on Monday, but right now that feature looks weak enough to only
result in a little increase in cloud cover if that. The next chance
for precipitation arrives at the end of the forecast period (Tuesday
night/Wednesday) as a front stretches east from the plains.

Temperatures will run above normal through the period, with 50s
for highs and 30s for lows throughout in the flatter flow regime.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for 212100z TAF issuance/...

Issued at 305 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

Updated current conditions at KIND, and extended restrictions at
KLAF for a few more hours as improvement there has been slower than
expected. Previous discussion follows...

Low end MVFR/high end IFR to start at the sites due to ceilings.
Short range models show improvement to ceilings to MVFR during the
afternoon/early evening (even VFR possible at KLAF) as rain moves
out to the east/southeast. Tonight the front will make its way
north again and bring more rain and IFR ceilings to the sites.
Winds will shift from NNEly around to ENEly during the period and
should remain about 6 to 14 kts throughout.

424 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

This hazardous weather outlook is for central Indiana.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Outlook: Localized flooding is possible.

Hazards: Flooding of low lying areas.

Timing: Rain will continue tonight and become a little heavier
near and after midnight. Flooding may be ongoing in some areas.

Discussion: A weak weather system will continue to spread rain
across the colder air that settled into the area Wednesday.
Moderate rainfall will occur at times late tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Wednesday.

Outlook: Rains end Thursday morning but another round of heavy
rain will occur late Thursday night into mid day Friday. One more
round of heavy rain is expected Saturday night before a couple dry
days early next week. More rain will return next Wednesday. Flooding,
possibly significant flooding, could develop as a result of this
rainfall. Thunderstorms are possible Friday night through Sunday
morning. No severe storms are expected at this time.

Discussion: A slow moving front will interact with warm and moist
air from the Gulf of Mexico to bring rain to central Indiana. The
rain could be heavy at times with an additional 2 to 5 inches
possible in spots by late weekend. Lowland flooding is expected, with
the possibility of the development of significant river flooding
later this week as well.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report rainfall totals over the next few
days.

Discussion: The next wave of precipitation will overspread the area
overnight. As colder air builds in...the rain will mix snow...sleet
and freezing rain late this evening and overnight. With air temperatures
only falling to near freezing and ground temperatures likely to
remain just above freezing...little to no impact from wintry
precipitation is expected on roads.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Wednesday.

Outlook: Wintry precipitation will end Thursday morning. Heavy
rainfall will return at times for Thursday night into early Friday
and especially Saturday and Saturday night. Ongoing flooding may
become significant as a result of this rainfall. Embedded
thunderstorms are possible Friday night through Sunday morning. No
severe storms are expected at this time.

Discussion: A slow moving front will interact with warm and moist
air from the Gulf of Mexico to bring rain to central Indiana. The
rain could be heavy at times with an additional 2 to 4 inches
possible in spots by late weekend. Lowland flooding is expected, with
the possibility of the development of significant river flooding
later this week as well.

...Wintry precipitation mix tonight...

Temperatures falling close to freezing tonight will result in a
mix of wintry precipitation as it overspreads the area overnight.
Rain will be mixed at times with snow, sleet and possibly
freezing rain. With ground temperatures above freezing and
expected to only approach freezing by daybreak, road surfaces are
not expected to be impacted. Elevated surfaces such as trees and
power lines could receive a light layer of icing but not enough to
cause problems.

Travelers are advised to drive with caution tonight and early
Thursday due to visibility restrictions from precipitation and wet
surfaces that will reduce traction.
