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 May 17, 6:16 AM EDT, 5 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 17, 6:16 AM EDT, 5 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
616 AM EDT Sun May 17 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 350 AM EDT Sun May 17 2020

A strong upper level system will move into the area and then
become stationary early this week. Moisture laden air will
continue to spread into the region and bring rounds of showers
and scattered storms. Storms may be severe this afternoon into
tonight with damaging winds the greatest threat outside of
flooding rains.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday)
Issued at 350 AM EDT Sun May 17 2020

The potential for at least a fairly significant event was unfolding
during this short term period. A northern stream and a southern
stream system were merging early this morning. There has been a
discernible slower model trend of the evolution of this system
with a run to run west shift of the system and associated
precipitation. Widespread showers accompanied at times with an
occasional rumble of thunder were advancing northeast toward the
forecast area early this morning. Heavier rain is expected to
arrive this afternoon as a warm front moves north. Precipitable
water values will rise to 1.7 inches at times, bringing the
likelihood for flooding rains given sufficient upper level
support. It still looks like most event total rainfall amounts
will range between 1 and 3 inches with amounts over 3 inches
likely where cells are able to train. Have moved back the start
time of the flood watch to mid afternoon today. In addition to
the potential for flooding rains, severe storms are possible this
afternoon into early tonight, especially in the warm sector south
of the front. The latest HRRR increases EHI/energy helicity values
to over 4.0 late this afternoon indicating a stronger tornado is
possible. In coordination with SPC and Chicago, SPC raised the
tornado probability to 5% (tornado probability within 25 miles of
a point). The heavy rain threat will continue into Monday given
the strength of the blocking ridge. The flood watch may need to
be extended given the potential for continuing rains.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 350 AM EDT Sun May 17 2020

The upper low will be slow to move out with lingering showers
possible through much of the week. However, an upper level ridge
will finally build into the region and should allow afternoon
temps to rise close to 80 by Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday Morning)
Issued at 616 AM EDT Sun May 17 2020

Warm frontal zone will sharpen and lift north across the terminals
this aftn in response to slowly phasing upper lows back across the
lower-mid MS valley. Leading return flow aloft supporting an
extensive area of showers through wrn/cntrl IN attm yet will quickly
lift through by mid morning. Thereafter warm sector broadens w/time
eastward of sfc cyclone over nrn IL this aftn which will slowly
deepen eastward into ern IN by Mon aftn. As a result and in
association with broad and very moist warm conveyor belt, an
extended period of showers/storms expected from this evening through
Mon evening along with expected poor flight conditions. A protracted
period of IFR met conditions likely will develop as a result.
