National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
1029 AM EST Sun Jan 19 2020
...A Flood Warning continues for portions of the following waterways
in Indiana...
East Fork White River...Eel River...Wabash River...White River...
.Minor to moderate flooding continued Sunday morning in central and
southern Indiana on the major rivers. Crests will be/are comparable
to those that occurred in February and June of 2019. Minor
flooding developed late Saturday afternoon on the Eel River that
will come to an end this afternoon.
A mix of precipitation Friday and Saturday totaled as high as
approximately 1.50 inches, which will slow river falls or bring
lower secondary crests on the major rivers, and produce additional
minor flooding on smaller ones. Flooding has returned to Seymour on
the East Fork White River, and this afternoon it will return to
Spencer on the White River. The Driftwood River near Edinburgh will
be near bankfull, with a crest near flood stage Sunday morning.
Flooding along the lower portions of the White and Wabash Rivers will
continue until about Wednesday, January 29.
Little or no precipitation is forecast through midday Thursday. This
will give area waterways several days to drain and return to near
normal levels.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...
Motorists should never drive into flood water. Turn around and go
another way. Keep children away from flooded areas. Recreational and
agricultural interests should remain alert to changing river
conditions.

Flood Statement
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
249 PM EST Sun Jan 19 2020
...A Flood Warning continues for portions of the following waterways
in Indiana...
East Fork White River...Wabash River...White River...
.Minor to moderate flooding continued Sunday afternoon in central
and southern Indiana on the major rivers. Primary crests will
be/are comparable to those that occurred in February and June of
2019. Brief flooding on the Eel River that developed Saturday came
to end early this afternoon.
A mix of precipitation Friday and Saturday totaled as high as
approximately 1.50 inches, which is slowing river falls in some
cases and bringing lower secondary crests in other cases on the
major rivers. Flooding has returned to Seymour on the East Fork
White River, and this afternoon it will return to Spencer on the
White River. The Driftwood River near Edinburgh will be near
bankfull, with a crest near flood stage Sunday morning.
Flooding along the lower portions of the White and Wabash Rivers
will continue until about Wednesday, January 29.
Little or no precipitation is forecast through midday Thursday.
This will give area waterways several days to drain and return to
near normal levels.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...
Motorists should never drive into flood water. Turn around and go
another way. Keep children away from flooded areas. Recreational and
agricultural interests should remain alert to changing river
conditions.

Flood Statement
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
1015 PM EST Sun Jan 19 2020
...A Flood Warning continues for portions of the following waterways
in Indiana...
East Fork White River...Wabash River...White River...
.Minor to moderate flooding continued Sunday night in central
and southern Indiana on the major rivers. Primary crests will
be/are comparable to those that occurred in February and June of
2019. Flooding on lower portions of the East Fork White came to an
end earlier this evening.
A mix of precipitation Friday and Saturday totaled around an inch to
an inch and a half across the basin, which is slowing
river falls in some cases and bringing lower secondary crests in
other cases on the major rivers. While flooding on much of
the East Fork White has ended, flooding is expected to continue at
Seymour on the East Fork White until Wednesday morning.
Flooding along the lower portions of the White and Wabash Rivers
will continue until about Wednesday, January 29.
Little or no precipitation is forecast through midday Thursday.
This will give area waterways several days to drain and return to
near normal levels.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...
Motorists should never drive into flood water. Turn around and go
another way. Keep children away from flooded areas. Recreational and
agricultural interests should remain alert to changing river
conditions.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 639 AM EST Sun Jan 19 2020 .UPDATE... The Aviation section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 224 AM EST Sun Jan 19 2020 Below normal temperatures will remain for the next few days. Wind chill values are expected to be below 0 both Sunday and Monday mornings, with some portions of central Indiana near 10 below on Sunday morning. Approaching midweek, skies should start to clear and temperatures should warm back to near seasonal. The next chance of precipitation will be late next week, into the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /Today/... Issued at 300 AM EST Sun Jan 19 2020 Scattered flurries continue this morning...aided by subtle instability and the presence of steep lapse rates beneath the boundary layer inversion. Wind chills were already near or below zero in many locations as progressively colder air advects into the region. 08Z temperatures ranged from the single digits in the northern Wabash Valley to near 20 in far southern counties. Flurries should gradually diminish prior to daybreak with weakening low level lapse rates and drier air filtering into the boundary layer. Clouds though will be much harder to scatter through the course of the day as model soundings suggest the low level inversion will weaken yet never fully dissipate. The presence of drier air in the lower levels should allow for some sunshine...especially over the southern half of the forecast area from mid morning into the afternoon. Through the second half of the afternoon however...sharpening cyclonic flow aloft will allow deeper moisture to drop south from the Great lakes and should lead to the reestablishment of a thicker cloud deck expanding south into the forecast area. Temps...the primary story for today will be the bitterly cold temperatures aided by brisk W/NW winds. Wind chills will settle between -10 and 0 degrees this morning before gradually recovering into the single digits. Continued cold advection and the likelihood of lingering cloud cover would argue against temperatures making even a modest recovery into the afternoon. Generally undercut temp guidance and kept much of the forecast area in the teens. && .SHORT TERM /Sunday Night through Tuesday/... Issued at 224 AM EST Sun Jan 19 2020 Cyclonic upper-level flow and a low-level inversion should keep skies cloudy through Sunday night. Lowered overnight lows slightly to match with cooling trend of Sunday's high temperatures. Temperatures should remain fairly constant overnight with lows in the mid-teens. Cold conditions remain Monday morning, as the bitter northwest flow dominates. Weaker surface winds will cause Monday morning's wind chill values to be slightly higher than today's. Expect wind chill values near 0. Throughout the day, A weak upper level wave will progress near Indiana. This should diminished the NW flow, leading to less cloud cover and slightly warmer daytime highs in the upper 20s. No precipitation is expected over central Indiana with this wave. Surface high pressure will limit moisture return and impede rising motion. As the aforementioned wave heads east, an upper-level ridge will build over the Great Lakes region. With both high pressure at the surface and aloft, skies will clear throughout the day on Tuesday. Clear skies, weak surface winds, and a steady stream of westerly warm air advection in the mid to lower levels will allow for temperatures on Tuesday to reach the low 30's. Expect a typical diurnal temperature curve Tuesday with lows near 20 overnight. && .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Sunday/... Issued at 212 AM EST Sun Jan 19 2020 The main forecast issue during the long term is a low pressure system progged to develop to our southwest and move through the region Thursday night into Saturday. Significant differences exist in the development and subsequent handling of the low - the Euro developing it over the western Gulf coast in response to a couple of distinct shortwaves combining into one large closed low, and the GFS developing it over the Panhandles region as the shortwaves phase earlier. Blend is likely the best tactic until these details begin to converge. Temperatures may be cool enough for some of the precipitation to fall as snow, but for now it appears most will fall as rain. Suspect that eventually it will fall almost entirely as rain as rapidly developing upper lows tend to trend westerly in track over time. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 19/12Z TAFs/... Issued at 639 AM EST Sun Jan 19 2020 MVFR conditions will linger across much of the area into this afternoon before improving to VFR late this afternoon into tonight. MVFR ceilings may return late this evening at some sites. Winds will remain gusty for the next 6-9 hours, but gusts will gradually subside as the pressure gradient weakens. Winds will be out of the northwest throughout the period, 280-320. No obstructions to visibility expected during the period. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...Updike NEAR TERM...Ryan SHORT TERM...Updike LONG TERM...Nield AVIATION...Nield
