$$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 14, 6:55 AM EDT, 4 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 14, 6:55 AM EDT, 4 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 655 AM EDT Mon May 14 2018 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 255 AM EDT Mon May 14 2018 Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will track north of highway 30 through daybreak. Locally heavy rain and some small hail is possible with the stronger storms. Warm and humid this afternoon with strong to severe storms developing toward evening. Highs will range from the upper 80s south to the upper 70s north. Showers and thunderstorms will continue tonight with locally heavy rain possible over northern Indiana. Lows will range through the 60s. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 255 AM EDT Mon May 14 2018 Complicated fcst this period. Lots at work this morning including torrid EML situate from central IA south through MO. Wrn edge of this feature in tandem with quasi-stationary front in se NE fueling intense storms. Additional elevated storms firing with conviction from ne IA through srn WI and sct storms locally just north of warm frontal boundary through cntrl IN. Near term CAMS solutions agreeable in a general sense with ewd expansion/organization of upstream elevated activity. However late night timing mitigates a more substantial risk with marginal hail looking like the primary threat in stronger updrafts that develop downstream through nrn IN/srn MI. Secondary concerns lies with potential heavy rain again given loose w-e orientation and potential training across far nrn zones pending how things evolve upstream. Little concrete signals just yet to tie this threat down. Sw flank of this activity later this morning may pose a bit higher damaging wind risk mainly over a portion of nw OH (south of US 24) as some heating will occur along with a potentially more vigorous pressure perturbation manifesting within developing se NE/sw IA MCS. Outflow boundary and mesohigh associated with morning complex poses svrl many questions for this aftn. Primarily where wrn extent of potential outflow boundary hangs up, degree of heating/recovery that occurs in wake of morning activity east, and how far north warm front mixes west. Clearly defined MCV from extensive TX panhandle severe convection last evening will liftout through ern IA this aftn and initiate storms over wrn through nrn IL in zone of enhanced low level warm advection and reduced inhibition stemming from eroding EML. Would expect a very unstable airmass will reside downstream through ern IL/wrn IN with upscale growth likely as this propagates/organizes east this evening with a legitimate hail/wind risk. Much of this will likely continue/fester overnight sw in wake of evening storms as vigorous low level warm advection continues. && .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 255 AM EDT Mon May 14 2018 Flop back toward more suppression seen in strong 00Z based consensus in H5 troughing through se Canada with accompanying stronger sfc ridging building through the lakes Tue aftn through Wed. See no reason not to follow strong downward trending pop guidance as primary frontal forcing mechanism drops into the OH river valley. Certainly strong to severe convection tonight and composite effects of outflow will aide in dispelling this boundary far enough south to not have an influence Tue aftn. Thereafter quiet weather expected through Thu anticyclonic flow aloft/sfc ridging build across the lakes. Ern Gomex upper low looks to lift north into the OH valley Fri-Sat as H5 trough breaks down through se Canada. Some rain likely with this feature over nw OH but wrn extent through IN/MI uncertain. Fairly vigorous long wave feature then looks to dig through srn Canada Sun with cold frontal push through the OH valley and some risk for storms pending timing. Temps through the period well above normal. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday Morning) Issued at 655 AM EDT Mon May 14 2018 Convective line now impacting KSBN will slowly drift ESE through the morning. Still some uncertainty if it will push far enough south to impact KFWA but worth at least a VCTS mention for later this morning. VFR expected by afternoon but another round of storms expected toward the end of the period as another wave crosses the region and intersects a very moist and unstable environment. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
