...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 245 AM EDT FOR
SOUTHERN MARTIN AND SOUTHERN DAVIESS COUNTIES...

At 119 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated rain continuing across the 
warned area with flash flooding ongoing.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Shoals, Alfordsville, Glendale Fishery and Lacy. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
740 PM EDT Wed May 29 2019

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 245 PM EDT Wed May 29 2019

A frontal system is expected to linger over the local area into
Thursday, before getting pushed off to the southeast. Another
frontal system may affect the area around Saturday. High pressure is
expected by early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Rest of This Afternoon and Tonight/...
Issued at 245 PM EDT Wed May 29 2019

Scattered convection may develop later this afternoon and evening
over the area in the wake of earlier activity, along and south of a
cold front. Air mass is destabilizing fairly rapidly upstream over
southern Illinois into southwest Indiana, where cloud cover has
thinned out, so expecting at least some destabilization locally this
afternoon. This morning's upper air indicates adequate deep layer
shear exists for strong organized convection, although lapse rates
as quite a bit weaker than they have been recently.

Appears the better threat for shower and thunderstorm activity will
begin arriving from the southwest in the 300200Z-300500Z time frame,
as convection currently over the southern Plains begins moving into
the area. The better severe threat may be with this activity, as
deep layer shear will be a little higher tonight. However,
confidence is low as to the intensity and coverage of convection
later tonight, as this will depend on amount of destabilization that
occurs this afternoon. Model data does suggest quite a bit of strong
lift is possible later tonight, so heavy rainfall may be a threat if
convection can hold together.

Low level thicknesses suggest the GFS MOS lows for tonight look OK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Thursday through Saturday/...
Issued at 245 PM EDT Wed May 29 2019

Strong lift and widespread precipitation may still be occurring
during the morning hours of Thursday, as a 30 kt low level jet
passes near the Ohio River. Will hold onto high PoPs during the
morning hours, and then taper them off into the chance category by
afternoon as the low level jet pushes off to the east. Models
suggest there may be some convection Thursday afternoon and evening,
along the trailing frontal system. However, amount of convective
development Thursday afternoon will depend on how widespread the
precipitation is during Thursday morning. For now, will keep some
chance PoPs in the forecast through most of Thursday night.

Developing northwest upper flow should allow for a drier and more
stable air mass to advect into the area by Friday. Will trend
towards a dry forecast for Friday and Friday night.

Models suggest a disturbance with the northwest flow may drop into
the area on Saturday. Will go with chance PoPs at that time.

Progged low level thicknesses suggest the GFS MOS temperature
guidance for Wednesday, Wednesday night, and Thursday, may be too
warm. Will nudge down the guidance a category or so in those
periods.

&&

.LONG TERM (Saturday night through Wednesday)...
Issued at 250 PM EDT Wed May 29 2019

A pair of systems in northwest flow aloft will necessitate the need
for blend PoPs Saturday night and again for the middle of next week.
Otherwise, surface high pressure should provide mostly dry weather.

Given the northwest flow, look for comfortable slightly below normal
temperatures with highs mostly in the 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for the 30/00Z TAF Issuance/...

Issued at 727 PM EDT Wed May 29 2019

Conditions will fluctuate between VFR and MVFR throughout the TAF
period as periods of showers and thunderstorms move through the
area. However, confidence is not high enough to mention
thunderstorms at KIND at this time through Thu 06Z, will continue
to monitor and adjust with future updates. Meanwhile, winds will
generally be south/southwesterly at 5 to 10 kts with some gusts up
to 20 kts tomorrow afternoon.

This hazardous weather outlook is for central Indiana.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Outlook: Thunderstorm activity is possible through tonight. Severe
storms are possible, mainly tonight.

Hazards: Damaging winds...large hail...isolated tornadoes...locally
torrential rain producing flooding...and frequent lightning.

Timing: Best threat for severe storms appears to be after about 1000
PM EDT.

Discussion: Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible through
the early evening hours, along a frontal zone. The threat for more
widespread rain and thunderstorms may move into the area later this
evening and overnight, as an upper disturbance interacts with the
front. Heavy rainfall is possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

Outlook: Thunderstorms are possible over all or parts of the area
at times through Thursday night, around Saturday and Saturday night,
and next Tuesday. A few strong storms are possible Thursday. Heavy
rainfall causing flooding will be a concern through midday Thursday.

Discussion: Low pressure will track along a frontal boundary across
the area Thursday...bringing heavy rain and the potential for
flooding. The front will finally shift south of the area early
Friday. A second cold front will drop into the area from the north
over the weekend with a renewed threat for showers and thunderstorms.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed later this evening.
