What happened

The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.

The U.S. Drought Monitor released on November 4th indicated 95% of Indiana was experiencing moderate to extreme drought conditions as of November 2nd. This was an increase in moderate to severe coverage across central Indiana and an increase in extreme conditions across the southern Indiana. Severe drought conditions included most areas along and south of U.S. Highway 36. Extreme drought conditions persisted in much of south central Indiana southward to the Ohio River and into Kentucky. Burning bans existed November 12 in 55% of the Indiana counties.

Three new consequences occurred as the result of severe to extreme drought conditions during the first half of November. During routine training operations by the Indiana National Guard at Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge and military personnel at Camp Atterbury, wild fires were started. The fires at Camp Atterbury burned 3,000 acres. The second event was an arsonist setting fires to railroad trestles in southern Indiana. Debris piled up from past high water events, dried out during the drought, and was easily set ablaze because of low river levels. The third drought consequence was a number of shallow wells went dry or the water changed color and taste in portions of southern Indiana.

On November 12, U.S. Geological Survey gauging sites indicated virtually all rivers and streams in Indiana were at below normal levels. Several small watersheds were at or near daily record low flow. The lowest river level for the East Fork White, White, and Wabash Rivers was in southwest Indiana. In central Indiana, all Indianapolis water supply reservoirs and Monroe Lake remained at 2 to 4.5 feet below normal lake levels.

Total precipitation for 2010 at Indianapolis through November 12th was 27.55 inches or more than 8 inches (8.16 inches) below normal. This is the 14th driest year on record at Indianapolis for the January 1st through November 12th periods.

The severe (D2) to extreme (D3) drought indicated by the National Drought Monitor for virtually all of Indiana south of U.S Highway 36 began to improve after some of driest areas of southern Indiana received significant rainfall on the 13th and again on the 16th. Total rainfall of 0.50 to nearly 3 inches occurred east of a line from Fort Wayne to Evansville from the 13th to the 16th. Drought conditions were eliminated in southern Indiana following 3 to 8 inches of rainfall along and south of Interstate 70 from the 22nd to the 30th. Portions of west central and northern Indiana remained on the dry side at the close of November. Stream flow increased greatly following the rains during the last week of November. On the last day of the month, stream flow was above normal in most areas. Geist and Morse reservoirs returned to normal levels, but Monroe Lake and Eagle Creek reservoir remained 2 and 4 feet below normal respectively.

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHUTTLE EASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH
MIDWEEK...AS AN UPPER LOW CLOSES OFF AND SHIFTS TOWARD THE TEXAS
GULF COAST. AN AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH WILL DROP INTO THE EASTERN
US LATE IN THE WEEK. WHILE THIS COULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING
SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION DEPENDING ON WHERE THE TROUGH ENDS
UP...THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES APPEAR VERY LOW THROUGHOUT THE
SEVEN DAY FORECAST. THE MAJOR IMPACT OF THIS TROUGH WILL BE COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED CLOUDS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/...

TEMPERATURES HAD FALLEN QUICKLY THIS EVENING WITH MAINLY CLEAR
SKIES AND LIGHT NORTHEAST FLOW. AS OF 01Z...MANY LOCATIONS WERE IN
THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S.

ONLY SUBTLE ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED TONIGHT AS REGION REMAINS FIRMLY
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES. WEAK MID LEVEL
DISTURBANCE OVER MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL SWING ACROSS CENTRAL
INDIANA OVERNIGHT...BRINGING AN INCREASE IN MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS.
TEMPS WILL LIKELY BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOWER 30S BY DAYBREAK MONDAY.

ZONE AND GRID UPDATES OUT SHORTLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTROL THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE SHORT
TERM...AND A DRY FORECAST CONTINUES. UPPER TROUGH WILL DROP
THROUGH THE CENTRAL US AND INTO THE GULF COAST REGION OF TEXAS BY
LATE IN THE SHORT TERM. ONLY IMPACT OF THIS SHOULD BE SOME
ADDITIONAL MID AND HIGH CLOUDS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
FORECAST AREA.

SHORT TERM MOS GUIDANCE IS ALSO IN REMARKABLE AGREEMENT...WHICH
MATCHES UP RELATIVELY WELL WITH 850 TEMPS...THUS A BLEND IS USED
THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

MODEL GUIDANCE IN VERY GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE CONCEPT OF A LARGE
AND HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN US
DURING THE EXTENDED. THIS IS BASICALLY WHERE THE AGREEMENT ENDS
HOWEVER...AS MAJOR DISCREPANCIES EXIST WITH RESPECT TO POSITION
AND TIMING OF MAJOR FEATURES. WILL STICK WITH A DRY FORECAST AS IT
APPEARS THAT THE MAJOR MOISTURE FEED WOULD LIKELY BE WELL TO OUR
EAST. HOWEVER...SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER LIKELY LATE IN THE COMING
WEEK...BEFORE TROUGH PULLS EAST AND SKIES BEGIN TO CLEAR WITH
BROAD AND STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH.

ON TEMPS...LEANED TOWARD A MEX/ENSEMBLE MEAN MIX...WHICH IS COOLER
THAN HPC NUMBERS AND MATCHES UP BETTER WITH RANGE OF ANTICIPATED
850 TEMPS. BASED ON WHERE THE TROUGH ENDS UP...SOME OF THESE MAX
TEMPS ESPECIALLY COULD STILL BE QUITE A BIT TOO WARM.

&&

.AVIATION.../010600Z/...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
THE ONLY CLOUD COVER WILL BE IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS AS A WEAK
DISTURBANCE PASSES ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...BUT IT WILL
HAVE NO IMPACT ON FLYING CONDITIONS.  WINDS WILL BE EAST AND
NORTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 KTS.
