$$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.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 2:32 PM EST, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion 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. Previous Discussion below /Discussion for the 19/12Z TAFs/... Issued at 554 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2020 VFR through the period. Mainly clear skies early in the period, with a gradual increase in mid and high cloud late.
