MKWhat 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 Mar 16, 6:35 AM EDT, 40 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Much colder today with a chance of showers, possibly mixed with snow over northern sections.
- Clearing and cold tonight with sub-freezing temperatures.
- Warming trend with dry conditions Monday through Tuesday night.
- Chances for light rainfall Wednesday and Thursday, isolated thunderstorms.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 635 AM EDT Sun Mar 16 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Much colder today with a chance of showers, possibly mixed with snow over northern sections. - Clearing and cold tonight with sub-freezing temperatures. - Warming trend with dry conditions Monday through Tuesday night. - Chances for light rainfall Wednesday and Thursday, isolated thunderstorms. && .SHORT TERM (Today and tonight)... Issued at 254 AM EDT Sun Mar 16 2025 Synopsis and remainder of the Overnight... H20 vapor imagery is showing a broad upper trough from the Missouri Valley into northern Louisiana early this overnight while radar reflectivity is showing one widespread area of moderate rain lifting northeastward into far southeastern Indiana and Ohio with some banding occurring from around Daviess county into Marion county and more banding over the upper Wabash Valley. The departing area of rain is located closer to the departing low level jet. The core of that jet was now over Lake Erie. Meanwhile, the banding that was over the Metro was close to the nose of a 115 knot upper level jet. Finally, the upper Wabash activity was near an area of strong 1000- 925 millibar frontogenesis and surface moisture convergence, near a reinforcing cold front. In addition, the upper jet allowed the surface wave to deepen. This cold front, will sweep across central Indiana from west to east and bring in much colder air by day break. In fact, LAF has already seen the winds shift and temperatures drop into the 40s. Convergence and frontogenesis near the cold front, per the SPC Mesoanalysis site, along with the upper jet streak and broad upper trough mandate high PoPs (60-90%) for the rest of the overnight with some decent QPF in the banding, mainly near and west of I-69. This is evident in CAMS, models and radar trends. With the PWAT axis settling eastward along with the low level jet, widespread high QPF is no longer expected over southeastern sections, where MRMS 24 hour estimated radar storm total QPF is as high as 2.5 inches over some locales. This should keep any flooding on the low end tonight. That said, we will still need to keep a close on local streams there overnight for the possibility of localized flooding and on some spots mainly the East Fork White River for possible minor flooding next week. Today and Tonight... The reinforcing cold front will be well east of the area this morning with strong cold advection bringing temperatures way down in its wake. However, the broad upper trough will be much slower to move through, likely not moving east of the area until later tonight. Hi-Res soundings suggest the column will remain mostly saturated through 10K feet through much of the day. That and the more modest forcing from the broad trough will result in lingering showers today but with much less intensity and QPF. BUFKIT soundings support a brief mix over northern sections before the activity ends, late in the day, from southwest to northeast as drier air moves in but not before morning PoPs around 40% in the west and 60% in the east. Soundings and a ridge of high pressure building in from the west support clearing from west to east overnight. Temperatures will be dropping through the 40s and 30s this morning before stabilizing during the afternoon. As the surface ridge moves over the area tonight and skies clear, upstream dew points in the 20s to lower 30s suggest overnight lows will drop to below freezing and frost will be possible. && .LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)... Issued at 254 AM EDT Sun Mar 16 2025 A progressive jet stream pattern looks to persist through the long range leading to fairy active weather at times. After multiple days of warmer-than-average temperatures, cold air advection behind today's system will bring a return to near-normal values through Monday. The cool down will be short-lived, however, as the next trough in the series begins emerging into the Plains on Monday. Return flow ahead of it will allow temperatures to rebound quickly into the high 60s/low 70s on Tuesday. Guidance shows a tight MSLP gradient which should lead to a nice southwesterly wind at times, gusting up to 30-40mph Tues and Wed afternoons. Not currently expecting fire weather concerns as some moisture return looks to limit low RH along with recent rainfall. Though guidance does show some moisture return it looks to be modest, with dew points only rising into the 40s to low 50s. As cyclogenesis occurs over the high Plains, this will lead to fairly limited precipitation within the system's warm sector. Still, nearly all guidance shows some precip, likely convective, across Indiana on Wednesday. Model soundings show a fairly dry column with modest lapse rates along with high speed shear (over 50kt). While the potential exists for a strong thunderstorm, given the synoptic-scale forcing and shear, it appears that limited buoyancy will be a mitigating factor keeping the risk low for now. Renewed cold air advection behind the midweek system should bring about a return to normal temperatures by Thursday. Once again, however, this will be short-lived as yet another system begins taking shape over the Plains on Friday. Model uncertainty is greater by this point and not much more can be said about how this system may evolve by the time it reaches Indiana. Still, enough of a signal exists for us to carry chance PoPs on Saturday. Day 8-14: the progressive long-range pattern looks to de-amplify somewhat beyond the extended which may allow temperatures to trend more towards normal. && .AVIATION (12Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 634 AM EDT Sun Mar 16 2025 Impacts: - MVFR and IFR flying conditions are expected much of the day with mostly MVFR after 19z-22z and mostly VFR after 02z Monday - Showers will linger day and snow could mix in at KLAF 16z-19z - Winds 290-320 degrees to 10 knots or so and gusts to around 20 knots but winds will quickly drop off 00z Discussion: Poor flying conditions will continue most of the day with showers lingering until late. It will also be breezy as post-frontal northwest winds will gust to around 20 knots. Conditions will improve tonight as a surface high pressure ridge and much drier air build in. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...None. && SHORT TERM...MK LONG TERM...Eckhoff AVIATION...MK
