JASWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 31, 7:14 PM EDT, 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 31, 7:14 PM EDT, 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 714 PM EDT Thu May 31 2018 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 240 PM EDT Thu May 31 2018 A cold front is expected to move through the area on Friday. Another frontal system may affect the area by Saturday night and Sunday. In the wake of the weekend system, high pressure will move into the area for the early to middle parts of next week. && .NEAR TERM /Rest of This Afternoon and Tonight/... Issued at 240 PM EDT Thu May 31 2018 Mid level vorticity lobe currently moving through southern Indiana at this time, associated with a large convective cluster. Elsewhere, isolated convection is present over the rest of the area as convective temperatures are reached. Short term models suggest the mid level vorticity lobe will reach the far southeast zones by 312000Z-312100Z. Should see organized convective activity over the southern zones for a couple more hours, with a diminishing trend after that as the vorticity lobe passes off to the east. Threat for high winds along the leading edge of the convective activity. Could be some additional convective development through this evening as the trailing vorticity tail hangs back across central Indiana. Progged 925-850mb flow is somewhat favorable for this to happen. Another vorticity center currently over Missouri is expected to begin moving into the local area after about 010400Z. At this time, not sure as to amount of convection that may be associated with this feature later tonight, given that the air mass will probably be worked over quite a bit from current activity. However, model guidance suggests some lapse rate recovery is possible late tonight. Based on above, will keep high PoPs going over the southern zones through late this afternoon, and go with chance PoPs though tonight over the rest of the area. Low level thicknesses suggest the GFS MOS lows tonight look reasonable. && .SHORT TERM /Friday through Sunday/... Issued at 240 PM EDT Thu May 31 2018 Diffuse cold front is expected to drop through the area during the day Friday. Model data suggest not a lot of organized lift associated with this front, although there may be some upper support present due to a trough passing through the Great Lakes. Will keep some chance PoPs going on Friday ahead of the front. Will keep some chance PoPs going into Friday evening over the southeast zones as the front may still be in the process of moving through those areas. Dry conditions expected on Saturday as surface high pressure noses into the area from the Great Lakes. Another upper trough is progged to drift through the northern Plains and into the Midwest by Sunday. Will bring PoPs back into the forecast by Saturday night and Sunday. Progged low level thicknesses suggest the GFS MOS highs for Friday may be a little on the warm side. Will nudge the guidance highs down a bit in that period. The remainder of the periods look OK for now. && .LONG TERM /Sunday Night Through Thursday/... Issued at 225 PM EDT Thu May 31 2018 Models are close enough that the model blend initialization was accepted for most items. Central Indiana will remain in northwest flow aloft during the long term, which will lead to a period of near normal temperatures. The GFS looks overdone with an upper low moving in on Monday, so ignored it. Thus went with a dry forecast through the long term with high pressure in control at the surface for most of the period. Of course in northwest flow there is always a chance a short wave could develop and bring a shower chance, so will have to continue to watch for later developments. && .AVIATION /Discussion for 010000z TAF issuance/... Issued at 703 PM EDT Thu May 31 2018 Mainly VFR at the sites through much of the period with exceptions mentioned below. Some scattered thunderstorms will move through KLAF over the next few hours. They could impact the other sites also during the night but less confident in timing on those so will avoid anything beyond a VCTS mention at the others. Not impressed enough with thunderstorm chances on Friday afternoon to even leave in the prob30, but there is a small chance. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
