What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at Jun 15, 2:48 AM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 2:48 AM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 248 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 2019 .UPDATE... The LONG TERM section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 242 PM EDT Fri Jun 14 2019 A frontal system is expected to sag into the local area over the weekend, lingering into the early parts of next week. A low pressure system may develop along the front, affecting the area towards the middle of next week. && .NEAR TERM /Rest of Tonight/... Issued at 942 PM EDT Fri Jun 14 2019 Adjusted PoPs to include low PoPs this evening for the sprinkles that are moving through at the moment. Brought in thunder earlier in the far west as a few storms are moving through central Illinois toward the area at the moment. Otherwise rest of forecast is in good shape and only made some minor adjustments to hourly forecasts as needed. Previous discussion follows... Model data suggest some lift may begin moving into the western/northwestern zones by the late evening hours tonight, although the better lift may hold off until the pre dawn hours of Saturday, as a 45-50 kt low level sags into northwest Indiana. Will start bringing in chance PoPs to the west central and northwest zones toward the late evening hours, and then spread them southeast with time towards daybreak. Low level thicknesses suggest the GFS MOS lows for tonight look reasonable, so any adjustments will be minor. && .SHORT TERM /Saturday through Monday/... Issued at 242 PM EDT Fri Jun 14 2019 Pattern remains favorable for convective clusters to form or propagate through the forecast area this weekend, given a frontal system sagging south from the Great Lakes, coupled with a 35-45 kt 850mb jet and steep mid level lapse rates advecting into the area from an EML plume off to the southwest. Confidence in timing and location of these clusters is low, as they will probably be tied to instability gradients along convective outflows, rather that the actual front. Precipitable waters around 1.75 inches suggest heavy rainfall will be a threat with any clusters that may affect the area. Given the low confidence in timing and location of these potential features at this time, will hold off on any flood headlines. Convective threat may tend to diminish towards Monday, as models begin to shove the synoptic front, and higher precipitable waters, closer to and south of the Ohio River. The low level jet is also progged to weaken by that time. Given the expected clouds and rainfall, the GFS MOS highs for Saturday and Sunday may end up being too warm. However, with low confidence in timing and location of convective clusters, won't stray too far from the guidance at this time. && .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/... Issued at 248 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 2019 Models and ensembles in general agreement that a nearby quasi- stationary front along with several waves of low pressure, deep moisture and instability support PoPs throughout the long term. The best chances look to be Tuesday and Wednesday through Thursday morning as the strongest waves move through. The OHRFC, WPC and NBM all support the potential for heavy rain at times along with at the minimum minor river flooding. However, more serious river flooding and short fuse flooding is certainly possible as WPC and NBM suggest some areas could see storm total accumulation over 5 inches over the next 7 days. With convection and plenty of cloud cover expected, look for normal or below temperatures per the blend. && .AVIATION (Discussion for the 150600Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 1134 PM EDT Fri Jun 14 2019 A period of MVFR conditions are expected during the day Saturday. Periods of showers and some thunderstorms can be expected throughout the TAF valid time. Low level wind shear may be an issue overnight tonight and again Saturday night. A frontal system will move into the area and stall out. Passing upper waves will generate periods of showers with some thunderstorms at the sites through the period. Widespread MVFR looks likely during the day Saturday, but even lower conditions are possible in convection. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...JAS NEAR TERM...JAS/50 SHORT TERM...JAS LONG TERM...MK AVIATION...50
