What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Feb 8, 1:06 AM EST, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 8, 1:06 AM EST, 2 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 106 AM EST Wed Feb 8 2023 ...Updated Aviation Discussion... .Forecast Update... Issued at 943 PM EST Tue Feb 7 2023 Have had to make some changes to the hourly temperatures to account for a much faster diurnal cooling than what was expected earlier with temperatures down to near freezing in our northern counties. Still think the overnight lows look reasonable based on current surface dew point depressions, but did make some minor drops to the far northern counties that have seen the more extreme temperature drops. Another concern towards daybreak will be patchy areas of fog and low clouds. With light winds and marginal moisture, could easily see there being some MVFR fog like there was 2 nights ago. Not expecting anything dense, but favored areas may see visibilities down to a mile. Will continue to monitor for any mention in the forecast going forward. && .Short Term...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 306 PM EST Tue Feb 7 2023 A line of light rain showers, currently over southern IN, has moved through central Indiana along a weak elevated pressure trough. The forcing along this trough has decrease throughout the day as the parent low pressure system detaches from the warm air within occlusion over Canada. This lack of forcing will eventually cause the boundary to stall, creating a stationary boundary over southern IN/northern KY later this evening. This stalled boundary could create isolated chances for light rain this evening and tonight for far southern portions of central Indiana, but QPF should be less than 0.05". Temperatures have remained steady within a well mixed environment behind the trough. This will slowly decline through diurnal cooling tonight. Dew points in the 20s with mostly clear skies should lead to overnight lows around to just below freezing. Further south, cloud cover will be higher, of which could inhibit diurnal cooling leading to higher morning temperatures. Most of tomorrow will be calm with central Indiana within the precipice of two systems. Temperatures wont be quite as high as slightly cooler easterly flow moderates the surface. Current expectation is for afternoon highs in the upper 40s to low 50s. Cloud cover and precipitation chances will increase steadily into the evening as a potent wave approaches from the west. Strong dynamic forcing will lift the previously stalled boundary northward, creating a corridor of broad isentropic lift. Initial showers should be relatively light, but consistent rain will lead to a few tenths of an inch. Overnight, a deepening surface cyclone will push to the NE, with a developing LLJ of 60-70knots. The magnitude of the LLJ will create quite a few caveats including an impressive moisture transport with PWATS 300-400% above normal. Temperatures will also increase throughout the night eventually leading to a noticeable temperature gradient along a developing warm front. South of the front, temperatures should reach 60 degrees, leading to daytime maximums for Thursday to occur well before solar noon. Numerous to widespread showers are expected within the warm sector, some of which could produce high rain rates at times given a deep saturation profile. Also of concern will be mixing winds within showers. 1000 ft winds of 55-60 kts will provide a precarious situation with minimal convective mixing needed to produce isolated severe wind gusts. && .Long Term...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 306 PM EST Tue Feb 7 2023 Wednesday night and Thursday... The low will continue to deepen within a highly dynamic environment and strong baroclinic zone. This will lead to a further steepening pressure gradient over central Indiana. Rain showers will exit to the NE Thursday morning in front of a dry slot. Within the dry slot non-thunderstorm winds become a concern with the lower level lapse rates steepening and increasing mixing depth. Ensemble means of 45- 50kt wind gusts along with an efficient wind environment has lead to a High Wind Watch for northern portions of central Indiana. The cold air should remain well NW of central Indiana with the DCB limiting its southward extend, but still a steady drop in temperatures are likely within the dry slot. This should lead to daytime highs in the mid to upper 40s. Thursday Night through Sunday... The remainder of the long term will feature a progressive upper pattern as the tight zonal flow transitions to steady flow of rather broad short waves tracking west to east across the northern CONUS. This will promote an overall slow moderation while mainly dry conditions continue as best forcing passes to our north and fails to phase with southern/Gulf moisture. But for starters, broad and very strong 1040 mb arctic high pressure will envelop the eastern half of North America through the late-week ...although Indiana's proximity within the southern quadrants of the ridge will only bring the local region a glancing blow of sub-normal cold. A decent pressure gradient behind the cold front will produce robust north-northwesterly flow Thursday night and Friday morning. Gusts as high as 20-30 mph, especially over northern/central counties will advect in lows into the teens and drop wind chills to as low as near zero for most zones. Lowest low-level thicknesses and temperatures will cross the region during the day Friday...with high temperatures consequently only rebounding slightly into the 20s as the cold flow diminishes. Moderation will be noticeable going into the weekend between the large arctic blob departing to the eastern seaboard and low pressure crossing Ontario...bringing broad, increasing return flow veering through southerly wind directions. These moderating winds are expected to gust as high as 25-35 mph for around a 24-hr period within the weekend. Temperatures should be boosted above freezing Saturday...and to unseasonable warmth on Sunday. Precipitable water values will increase slightly by the end of the weekend, but no confidence in any sources of lift will maintain a dry forecast. Next Monday through Tuesday... More moderated surface high pressure is expected to prevail across Indiana as the northern-stream weekend system departs to southeastern Canada. Subsidence should be in control as mid-levels build into a ridge pattern over the region ahead of the next area of low pressure. Ensembles suggest this next mid-latitude wave will be broader and deeper, probably tapping into at least marginal amounts of southern stream moisture. So far appear at least low chances of precipitation returning as the long term ends ahead of the system's trailing, elongated frontal boundary. Much greater confidence in any rain over any frozen precipitation types following another round of robust southerly flow...with temperatures expected to remain above normal. && .Aviation...(06Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 105 AM EST Wed Feb 8 2023 Impacts: - Light and variable winds early this morning, starting generally from the north and becoming east to southeasterly by midmorning - Rain will bring MVFR to IFR vsbys near or after 00Z - MVFR cigs becoming IFR from 01Z to 04Z Discussion: Partly to mostly cloudy skies expected through the afternoon with VFR conditions. Northerly winds of less than 5 kts will start out the period which will shift to be easterly to southeasterly by mid morning. Rain will start to move in from the south by late Wednesday afternoon into the evening. It will bring with it MVFR and lower conditions and last through the remainder of the period. IFR will be possible starting from 01 to 04Z that should improve to MVFR by daybreak tomorrow. Rain will be heavy at times. Winds increase with the incoming system as well, with surface gusts increasing to 25 kts by 06Z and up to 40 kts by 12Z. Towards the end of the 30 hour TAF period, there will also be a wind shear threat. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
