What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Feb 23, 2:06 PM EST, 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 23, 2:06 PM EST, 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 206 PM EST Sat Feb 23 2019 .UPDATE... The LONG TERM section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 342 AM EST Sat Feb 23 2019 Rapidly developing low pressure in the Panhandles region will move quickly into the Great Lakes by late tonight, bringing widespread rain, some thunderstorms, and strong winds to the area through the weekend. Much of the next week will be near normal for the time of year with zonal flow in place across much of the country. && .NEAR TERM /Today/... Issued at 342 AM EST Sat Feb 23 2019 Will carry chance pops this morning as guidance shows some potential for precipitation to fill in between separate areas northwest and south of central Indiana, but expect precipitation to ramp up in coverage later this afternoon as the area moves solidly into the warm sector and upper level support approaches. Strengthening deep layer shear and at least weak instability will merit a thunder mention this afternoon. Consensus temperatures were generally acceptable, although did bump them up slightly given strong warm advection and the fact that the early portion of the day may be drier than guidance is accounting for. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/... Issued at 342 AM EST Sat Feb 23 2019 Tonight into Sunday evening looks to be quite active, first with widespread showers and a few thunderstorms associated with the cold front, then strong winds in its wake. Marginal risk day one nudges into the southern portion of the forecast area, and this is reasonable, although as the text mentions, organized severe this far north may be difficult to come by. More likely, it will be in the form of stronger cells or a thin convective line along the cold front mixing down the 50-55KT low level jet in spots this evening. Following frontal passage, a strong surface pressure gradient will be in place, and between strong cold advection beginning late tonight, 925 mb winds of 40-50KT, and BUFKIT momentum transfer progs continuing to show gusts in excess of 40KT and potential for a few gusts in excess of 50KT, will keep the high wind watch going, but punt one more shift on final warning/advisory decision in collaboration with neighboring offices. This looks to be a high end advisory/low end warning situation, but there remains uncertainty as to which is most appropriate in the watch area. The entire area will almost certainly require a wind advisory, and perhaps high wind warning for the northern two thirds. Suffice to say, it will be quite windy, and we will continue to message this in all available venues. The remainder of the short term, aside from Sunday morning, looks to be dry as high pressure will be in control across the area. Departed from consensus numbers tonight into Sunday as overnight lows Sunday morning should not be far off from daytime highs Sunday, with strong cold advection ongoing. Temperatures during the day Sunday are likely to be falling much of the day. && .LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/... Issued at 206 PM EST Sat Feb 23 2019 Models in good agreement that the synoptic setup will feature west coast ridging which will allow several waves to quickly move through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley in the fast flow aloft. The first few will be weak but a strong upper low will move into the Great Lakes by Saturday. Blend suggests there will be off and on snow showers through the period. Am not confident in timing enough to change the blend. Blend near normal temperatures look reasonable. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 23/18Z TAF Issuance/... Issued at 1225 PM EST Sat Feb 23 2019 Moderate confidence that MVFR conditions will deteriorate to IFR 21z or so. BMG already was seeing IFR ceilings, so it could even be sooner at the other sites. Meanwhile, High Resolution Rapid Refresh suggests showers and possible a few storms will be increasing in coverage after 21z as well. Thunder chances too low to include in TAFs, however. Non-convective winds will also be an issue especially after 06z with gusts over 40 knots possible after 10z. Winds will start off southeast and become southwest and west after 05z. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
