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 Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 3, 12:58 PM EDT, 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 3, 12:58 PM EDT, 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
1258 PM EDT Thu May 3 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1254 PM EDT Thu May 3 2018

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to redevelop late this
afternoon into tonight, and continue into Friday. There is a low
risk of an isolated severe thunderstorm tonight. Dry weather will
return for Friday night and Saturday. High temperatures this
afternoon will reach into the mid and upper 70s, with low
temperatures tonight only dropping into the lower to mid 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 408 AM EDT Thu May 3 2018

Active pattern from last evening continues into this morning. The
combination of boundary sprawling across the area and continued
low level jet feeding into this boundary yielded some healthy
rainfall amounts last night along with several reports of wind
damage. Composite boundary has been wavering as each successive
round of showers and thunderstorms has tracked across far northern
Indiana into southern Lower Michigan. Fortunately, most of the
heavy rain over the past several hours has become situated across
southern Lower Michigan, just north of areas which received the
heaviest rainfall last evening (southern Starke into Marshall
county). Larger scale convectively enhanced vort max near MS River
will bring yet another round of showers and thunderstorms to most
of the forecast area in the 10Z-14Z timeframe. Scattered storms
have developed east of this vort max, likely indicative of
stronger advective forcing wing from central Illinois into east
central Illinois. Overall severe threat should be very limited
into this morning as storms have become more elevated, but still
feeding of some respectable elevated instability via modest mid
level lapse rates in place.

With another quick quarter inch to three quarters of an inch
(locally an inch) this morning, will keep flash flood watch in place
for western portions of the watch for locations which received
the heavier rainfall last night. Radar estimates that between 1.5
to 3.5 inches of rain has fallen across portions of Berrien/Cass
counties in Lower Michigan, and will extend the flash flood watch
into these counties this morning. Have dropped eastern portions of
the flash flood watch in northern Indiana where rainfall amounts
were more limited last night including the Fort Wayne area.

It still appears as though a lull in heavier rain showers will set
up later this morning into most of this afternoon in wake of
approaching convectively enhanced vort this morning. In addition
to lull in forcing, the very steep mid level lapse rates of last
evening will not be as substantial today. Will have to watch for
another embedded wave in southwest upper flow approaching Ohio
Valley this afternoon into this evening. Belt of stronger mid
level flow will accompany this vort max with best chance of
additional organized convection late this afternoon across far
southern portions of the area. Currently not expecting much in the
way of severe weather potential though this afternoon.

For tonight, moisture transport ramps up once again via a 50-60
knot low level jet in advance of primary upper level trough.
Northward surge of this boundary this evening should at least
yield less potential of training, although given anomalous PWATs
some additional heavy rainfall is possible. Some marginal severe
threat will exist tonight given strong forcing and robust flow
profiles, but limited instability should yield only a marginal
threat (mainly wind).

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 408 AM EDT Thu May 3 2018

The dampening upper level trough and associated frontal boundary
will produce last day of thunder chances on Friday, although
strong/severe potential continues to look limited with better
chances of more vigorous convection dropping southeast of the area
by mid afternoon. Cold advection is not substantial behind this
trough as flow quickly deamplifies. Have not made many changes to
previous forecast in terms of Sunday rain/storm chances as a
northwest flow wave drops into the region. Thunder potential looks
limited given little opportunity for notable moisture return, but
will maintain slight chances of thunder across the south. Decent
cool push behind this system for early next week, with decent
agreement among medium range models of next large scale south
central Canadian troughing bringing more rain chances middle of
next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 1254 PM EDT Thu May 3 2018

Some light rain at the start of the period over FWA but drying out
quickly after. Overall mvfr flight conditions expected. 10 to 15
knot winds out of the southwest for the entire TAF period. Another
round of thunderstorms moves over both terminals this evening but
should not deteriorate conditions below MVFR. Rain and
thunderstorms clear both terminals by morning.
