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 Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 19, 2:32 PM EST, 27 minutes earlier.

National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
232 PM EST Wed Feb 19 2020

.UPDATE...
The SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM and SHORT TERM Sections have been updated
below.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 229 PM EST Wed Feb 19 2020

High pressure is expected across the area through the weekend. A
frontal system may affect the area early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /This Afternoon through Thursday/...
Issued at 229 PM EST Wed Feb 19 2020

Expecting rather extensive mid level cloud to develop across the
area this evening, as a short wave trough drops through the Great
Lakes. These clouds will probably linger into late Thursday morning,
before thinning out during the afternoon. The precipitation bearing
layer gets close to saturation by late tonight into Thursday
morning, so can't rule out a few flurries. However, the limited
lift and dry lower levels will work against anything reaching the
ground. At this time, the chances for flurries are too small to
include in the forecast.

Given the increasing cloud cover this evening, the GFS MOS lows
tonight may be a little on the cold side. Will nudge up the guidance
a category. Low level thicknesses generally support the MOS highs on
Thursday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Thursday Night through Saturday/...
Issued at 229 PM EST Wed Feb 19 2020

Models suggest upper ridging will build over the middle of the
country during this period, as a large area of surface high pressure
slowly slides southeast into the Tennessee Valley by Saturday.
This should result in dry conditions through the period, with
limited cloud cover.

Progged low level thicknesses suggest the GFS MOS temperatures later
in the short term look pretty good at this point, so little if any
adjustments planned.

&&

.LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Wednesday/...

Issued at 227 PM EST Wed Feb 19 2020

ECMWF suggests weak ridging in place across the area on Saturday
as surface high pressure over the southeastern states begins to
drift to the east. This will provide dry weather for the through
much of the weekend.

By Sunday afternoon and Sunday night...a strong area of low
pressure in place over the southwest along with a short wave on
the leading edge of a an approaching ridge is expected to arrive
per the ECMWF. Mid level moisture profiles suggest abundant
moisture available and ample forcing as these features arrive on
Sunday night and into Monday. Thus have included higher pops as
these features pass.

The ECMWF depicts brief ridging to build across the area on Monday
into Monday Night...while a surface low moves through the Ohio
valley. This will result in a chances for rain for much of the
start of the next work week.

&&

.AVIATION /Discussion for the 191500Z IND Tafs/...

VFR Conditions will continue as high pressure builds across the
forecast area. No significant changes to the ongoing Tafs.
