The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
Thunderstorms once again erupted during the afternoon of the 31st as an upper level wave moved through the region, producing severe weather for the first time in five weeks across the region. The storms gradually shifted south across central Indiana through the evening, impacting much of the region along and south of the Interstate 70 corridor. Outdoor events on the holiday weekend were once again affected by the weather, as storms exhibited plenty of cloud to ground lightning strikes and locally torrential rainfall. Many locations, especially along and south of Interstate 70, received generous rainfall on the afternoon and evening of the 31st as strong to severe thunderstorms impacted the region. One to two inches fell in several locations over southern portions of central Indiana. Flooding was also noted across Daviess County.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Aug 31, 11:48 PM EST, 12 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1248 AM EDT SUN SEP 1 2013 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 631 PM EDT SAT AUG 31 2013 AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AS A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERS ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL WEATHER DISTURBANCES ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO CENTRAL INDIANA AND THIS COMBINED WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIR IN PLACE OVER CENTRAL INDIANA WILL RESULT IN GOOD CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE AND COOLER WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT ON MONDAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE DRY WEATHER FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 1000 PM EDT SAT AUG 31 2013 INSTABILITY WAS REALLY DROPPING OFF ACROSS ALL BUT OUR FARTHEST SOUTHWEST COUNTIES...WHERE CAPES WERE STILL AROUND 2000 J/KG AND NUMEROUS CELLS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS WERE HEADING TOWARD. PULLED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FROM ALL BUT THESE COUNTIES. SO NOW...THE WATCH EXTENDS ONLY AS FAR NORTH AS VIGO AND AS FAR EAST AS MONROE AND LAWRENCE. ALSO...LOWERED OR ALTOGETHER PULLED POPS FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. UPDATED THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...WEATHER STORY AND GRIDS TO REFLECT THIS. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... RADAR WAS SHOWING CLUSTERS OF STORMS ALONG A CLOUD EDGE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY AND RESULTANT SHARP INSTABILITY GRADIENT FROM NORTH VERNON NORTHWEST TO INDIANAPOLIS TO FAR SOUTHERN WARREN COUNTY. SO...WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS GOING NEAR AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND CHANCE POPS SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. ALSO...SHARP TEMPERATURE GRADIENT WITH LOWER 70S NORTHEAST TO LOWER AND MID 90S IN THE SUNSHINE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. INCORPORATED THAT INTO THE NEAR TERM AS WELL. FINALLY...UPDATED THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...WEATHER STORY AND HAZARDOUS WEB SPOTLIGHT FOR THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THAT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT FOR ROUGHLY THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... SURFACE ANALYSIS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM WESTERN NEW YORK ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA TO WESTERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHERN MISSOURI. DEW POINT TEMPS WERE IN THE MOIST MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S. RADAR SHOWS SOME TSRA DEVELOPING OVER NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SERIES OF WEAK SHORT WAVES IN THE FLOW UPSTREAM. THE FIRST OVER NW ILLINOIS...A SECOND OVER OVER WISCONSIN STRETCHING INTO IOWA...AND A THIRD...MORE POWERFUL SYSTEM PUSHING INTO NORTH DAKOTA FROM CANADA. SPC MESO PAGES SHOW GREAT CAPE IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR NIGHT WILL BE POPS. WITH CONVECTION ONGOING ALREADY...AND SATELLITE ALREADY SHOWING LOTS OF PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES RESULTING IN GOOD HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION...NO REASON NOT TO EXPECTED COVERAGE OF TSRA TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...PARTICULARLY AS THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SHORT WAVE PASSES. TIME HEIGHT SECTIONS SHOW STRONG LIFT IN THE AREA THIS EVENING AS THE SHORT WAVE PASSES. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO SUPPORT TSRA AS PLENTY OF CAPE AND STEEP LAPSE RATES REMAIN. THUS WILL USE POPS AT OR ABOVE MAVMOS TONIGHT. GIVEN THE EXPECTED RAIN WILL TREND LOWS CLOSE TO PERSISTENCE...GIVEN THE LITTLE CHANGE IN AIRMASS. SHEAR APPEARS LIMITED...SO WIDESPREAD SVR NOT EXPECTED...HOWEVER AN ISOLATED STRONG STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT. FURTHERMORE WITH PLENTY OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ONGOING THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND...PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN THUNDER ROARS GO INDOORS. WILL HIGHLIGHT THAT IN THE HWO. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... ISSUED AT 631 PM EDT SAT AUG 31 2013 MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE DURING THIS PERIOD WILL POPS ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. GFS AND NAM BOTH SUGGEST THE LARGE RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT WEST ALLOWING THE FLOW ALOFT TO BECOME NORTHWESTERLY. THIS WILL ALLOW A FEW OF THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVES TO SPILL INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THE STRONGEST SHORT WAVE...CURRENTLY ENTERING NORTH DAKOTA IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY NIGHT...ENHANCING THE CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT. AFTER EXPECTED CONVECTION TONIGHT...ANOTHER ROUND OF DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD BE NEEDED TO START CONVECTION ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AGAIN FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW THE ATMOS WILL BE HAPPY TO OBLIGE...WITH CAPE IN EXCESS OF 2K J/KG...STEEP LAPSE RATES AND ATTAINABLE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES. LOWER LEVEL Q VECTORS SHOW GOOD CONVERGENCE DURING THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS ON SUNDAY....BUT EVEN BETTER DYNAMICS LOOK TO APPEAR ON SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE INFLUENCE OF THE STRONGER APPROACHING SHORT WAVE INCREASES. THUS WILL FOCUS POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ON SUNDAY...RAISING POPS AT OR ABOVE MAVMOS ON SUNDAY NIGHT. AS FOR TEMPS. A NICE 850MB THERMAL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH VALUES NEAR 20-22C. WILL TREND HIGHS AT OR ABOVE EXPECTED PERSISTENCE. STICKING CLOSE TO MAVMOS ON SUNDAY NIGHT LOWS AS CHANGE OF AIRMASS WILL BE UNDERWAY. MODELS COMING TO A BETTER AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT ON MONDAY...PUSHING MOST OF THE DYNAMICS AND FORCING SE OF INDIANA BY 12Z MONDAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW GOOD DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE ONGOING IN THE COLUMN AND THAT TREND CONTINUES AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. THUS WILL TREND TOWARD A DRY FORECAST...WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. COOL HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS INDIANA FROM CENTRAL CANADA ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS NORTHERLY SURFACE FLOW RESUMES. WILL TREND HIGHS MONDAY AND TUESDAY COOLER THAN GUIDANCE AMID COLD AIR ADVECTION AND STICK CLOSE ON MONDAY NIGHT LOWS. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... ISSUED AT 631 PM EDT SAT AUG 31 2013 LONG TERM LOOKS TO BE DRY THROUGHOUT AS THE AREA IS BETWEEN AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE TO THE WEST AND TROUGHING OVER THE NORTHEAST. A COUPLE OF SURFACE HIGHS LOOK TO PASS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THE NORTHWEST FLOW MAY HAVE TEMPS NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL EARLY ON BEFORE THE PATTERN BEGINS TO BECOME MORE ZONAL LATER IN THE PERIOD AND SOME OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS WARMTH WORKS ITS WAY EASTWARD. ALLBLEND SHOWS A SLIGHT WARMING TREND THROUGHOUT AND SEE NO REASON TO DEVIATE FROM THIS. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 010600Z TAFS/... ISSUED AT 1248 AM EDT SUN SEP 1 2013 THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS CONTINUE TO SAG SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...AIDED BY AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND A WEAK UPPER WAVE. APPEARS MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF THE TAF SITES BY OR SHORTLY AFTER ISSUANCE TIME. OTHERWISE...RESIDUAL MOISTURE COUPLED WITH SOME CONVERGENCE ALONG AN APPROACHING FRONT MAY RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CEILINGS IN THE 007-015 RANGE TOWARDS SUNRISE SUNDAY. CONFIDENCE IN THIS HAPPENING IS BUILDING AS CURRENT SATELLITE DIFFERENCE PRODUCT SHOWS SOME LOWER CEILINGS STARTING TO FORM IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND THE SYNTHETIC SATELLITE FORECAST PRODUCT SHOWS THESE EXPANDING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST AFTER ABOUT 9Z SO WILL INCLUDE AN MVFR DECK PREVAILING WITH TEMPO IFR. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...PUMA NEAR TERM...PUMA/MK SHORT TERM...PUMA LONG TERM....NIELD AVIATION...JAS/CP VISIT US AT HTTP://WWW.WEATHER.GOV/IND FOLLOW US ON TWITTER AND YOUTUBE AT: WWW.TWITTER.COM/NWSINDIANAPOLIS WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/NWSINDIANAPOLIS
