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 26, 6:36 AM EDT, 5 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 6:36 AM EDT, 5 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 636 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 142 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2019 A cold front will move through the area the remainder of the night, accompanied by a period of rain and gusty winds. Rain will also continue across eastern Indiana into northwest Ohio as low pressure moves away. Windy conditions and decreasing clouds are expected behind this system on Friday. Lows tonight will range between the mid 40s and mid 50s, with highs on Friday in the upper 50s and low 60s. Cool conditions are expected this weekend with another round of rain and wind anticipated later Saturday into Saturday night. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 309 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2019 Water vapor imagery and latest RAP analysis depicting upper trof axis beginning to take on negative tilt and expected to continue overnight as re-enforcing northern stream wave currently dropping into western Lake Superior. KIWX radar has returns trending weaker over the past couple of hours but deformation band expected to continue into the early morning hours. Deepening surface low over Ohio will continue to lift E/NE into Lake Erie this morning then up into Lake Ontario by this afternoon. Cold front associated with northern stream wave may bring some additional light showers across the area through mid morning before all precip exits to the east by this afternoon. Very strong gradient on the backside of the low will result in very windy conditions this afternoon...despite surface ridge axis remaining well to the west there will be decent subsidence and drier air moving in to allow for some clearing skies...as a result forecast soundings have mixing depth up to 5Kft and supportive and gusts 35-40mph. Surface ridge axis does progress eastward toward our area tonight...but not as fast as previous runs as it reaches IL/IN line by 09Z Saturday. Still should see winds rapidly diminishing tonight even if boundary layer doesnt fully decouple. This along with clear skies over the CWA will have lows dropping into the mid 30s over northern half and therefore will still have frost potential in the pre-dawn hours Saturday morning. && .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 309 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2019 Pacific energy will continue to stream onshore as next wave coming out of upper low over gulf of Alaska will bring a pretty dynamic short wave into the mid MS valley by Saturday afternoon...aided by good upper level divergence associated with a somewhat coupled jet structure. Good agreement among the deterministic models in tracking associated surface low into N/NC Indiana Saturday night. Dynamics associated with this system expected to more than compensate for lacking deep moisture return as strong isentropic ascent north of warm front will yield a good half inch or more of rain across the northern half of the CWA. Thermal profiles across this area will have shrinking surface based warm layer that may have snow briefly mixing with rain after midnight and possibly becoming all snow by early morning hours before ending. System quickly exits to eastern Ohio by Sunday morning as high pressure builds into the great lakes region. Dry and cool by Sunday afternoon with highs in the low-mid 50s. Dry weather short-lived as the next in a series of systems to impact the area begins Monday. Initially starting off as a quasi-zonal pattern...east/west surface boundary will settle south of the area and result in a cool start to the work week. By mid-week models bring southern stream Pacific energy into SW US and subsequent downstream amplification will have subtropical ridge building across the SE US. This should trend surface boundary further north and have temperatures at or above normal days 5-7. Low confidence pattern with plenty of spread between models has blend spreading out extended period of rain chances Mon-Thu. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday Morning) Issued at 632 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2019 Front has cleared KSBN and will arrive at KFWA in the next hour or so. Fairly stout wind gusts accompanying the front with KSBN gusting to 39 knots briefly. Winds will calm down somewhat behind it, but pick back up this afternoon. Some pockets of MVFR cigs remain but appear to be breaking up some already with VFR cigs at times past few hours at both sites. Skies will clear through the morning with VFR cigs/vsby taking hold by 18Z through the rest of the period. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE.
