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 Apr 20, 1:32 PM EDT, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 20, 1:32 PM EDT, 1 hour 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
132 PM EDT Sat Apr 20 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 404 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2019

A storm system lifting northeast across the Ohio Valley today will
spread more rainfall across northeast Indiana, south central Lower
Michigan, and northwest Ohio. Conditions are expected to remain
dry across northwest Indiana and southwest Lower Michigan where
afternoon high temperatures should reach into the mid 50s. Cooler
high temperatures in the mid to upper 40s are expected across
northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio due to clouds and rainfall.
Low temperatures tonight will drop into the mid to upper 30s, and
highs will range from the mid 60s to mid 70s for Sunday under
mostly sunny skies.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 404 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2019

Resolving precip amounts and western extent of measurable
rainfall today will continue to be the primary forecast challenge.

An upper let jet streak and associated vort lobe will continue to
progress through parent upper low, eventually allowing more
northeast progression of upper low to West Virginia by this
evening. Radar/satellite data beginning to depict some better
evidence of maturating TROWAL feature from western West Virginia
into portions of west central Ohio. A few lightning strikes have
even been noted across these locations over past hour or two.
Deformation forcing accompanying slowly northward ejecting upper
level feature will gradually spread northward across northwest
Ohio, with better juxtaposition of TROWAL across northwest Ohio
by 15Z. There have even been a few reports of some snow mixing in
across NW Ohio in association with this stronger forcing, and
cannot completely discount few flakes mixing in across far
southeast portions of the area through mid morning. Greatest
duration of deformation forcing now appears to be confined to
generally along and east of Interstate 69 corridor, which should
also coincide with elongating TROWAL axis. With continued
indications of strong low/mid level moisture gradient extending
back into northwest Indiana/NW Ohio, will continue with trend from
previous few forecasts in sharpening west-east PoP gradient and
reducing rainfall amounts across western periphery of this
forcing. A narrow zone coinciding with more prolonged
deformation/TROWAL forcing may experience rainfall amounts in the
0.75-1 inch range, but still difficult even at this forecast
distance to resolve more precise placement.

Rather large temporal breaks in rainfall with the several rounds
of precip past few days and overall less rainfall than forecast,
continue to point toward flooding not being a concern today. One
possible exception could be across portions of northwest Ohio
where a narrow axis of 1.50+ inch rain accumulation has occurred
past 36 hours from roughly Delphos OH to Ottawa OH. If deformation
axis does focus across these areas this morning/early afternoon,
some ponding could occur. However, as previous discussion
mentioned, primary impact at this point will just be potential
minor flooding on a few area rivers in Maumee/Wabash basins later
this weekend into early next week.

With trend toward dry air winning out west of deformation forcing
across NW Indiana/SW Lower Michigan, have accepted subtle
numerical guidance trend of slight warming of afternoon highs
across these locations. Windy conditions to persist today with
some gusts to 25 to 35 mph through early afternoon, but slow
eastward departure/filling of sfc cyclone should relax winds late
this afternoon and more sharply by early evening.

Some lingering light rain is possible along weakening
deformation/TROWAL axis across the far east this evening, but west
to east diminishing clouds/winds will be the rule with lows
dropping into the mid 30s for many locations.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 404 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2019

Departure of upper level low will be followed by transition to
less amplitude pattern for Sunday/Monday with Sunday still shaping
up to as a mostly sunny and seasonably mild day with highs from
low-mid 70s far west to mid-upper 60s far east.

Much of the medium range continues to be problematic in terms of
attaining any forecasting consistency with respect to PoPs as cut-
off southern stream low and several lead impulses in advance of
this feature lend to below normal confidence. It still appears as
though lead vort max/coupled with weaker northern stream vort will
allow next sfc frontal boundary to sag into the area some time in
the late Monday/Tuesday timeframe with additional chances of
showers and a few storms. Complications arising from
timing/phasing still point toward nothing more than low-mid chance
mention at this time however. Main question and uncertainty will
be in regards to late Tuesday-Thursday and whether sfc boundary
will be far enough suppressed for additional chances of
showers/storms. Medium range models now also indicating better
signal with regards to progressive, low amplitude northern stream
wave for Thursday. However, moisture availability could very well
be in question given deeper moisture should be shunted southeast
by this time. Temps should drop back to near seasonable levels for
mid-late work week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 131 PM EDT Sat Apr 20 2019

Concern still lies with low end MVFR with decent chance for
period of IFR next few hours at KFWA within core of rain band
persists a few hours more as the band oscillates through northwest
Ohio/northeast Indiana this afternoon. Energy transfer to coastal
low gets underway this evening/overnight and provides death kneel
for rain/deformation band with conditions trending into VFR later
this evening at KFWA. Ridging surface/aloft along with deep dry
air entrainment per water vapor/sharp upstream surface dewpoint
front should help to keep any Sunday morning br shallow/spotty.
Modified crossover temperatures also suggest greater probability
for continued VFR through this period and beyond, at least through
Tuesday evening.
