The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
Waves of showers and thunderstorms moved across central Indiana on July 13. Upper level features interacted with a surface front and plenty of moisture and instability to generate severe weather and heavy rains/flooding. Mainly damaging thunderstorm winds were impacting much of central Indiana during the late morning and early afternoon of July the 13th.
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 Jul 13, 9:40 AM EST, 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1040 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 242 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY. WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING LOOK LIKE A GOOD BET...ESPECIALLY TODAY AND TONIGHT. DRY WEATHER WILL TAKE OVER BY TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TOWARD AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY WARM AND HUMID TODAY AND TUESDAY AND AGAIN DURING THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 1021 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 HAVE UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT LINE OF STORMS ON OUR DOORSTEP AT THIS TIME AND ALSO ADDED DAMAGING WIND MENTION TO THE GRIDS. MAY SEE INTENSIFICATION OF THE LINE AS IT MOVES INTO CLEAR AIR WITH INSOLATION/DESTABILIZATION ONGOING. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS. ISSUED AT 242 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 COULD BE A ROUGH DAY AND NIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA AS MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MARCH SOUTHEAST OVER CENTRAL INDIANA. FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE...AND THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY EVEN A FEW SUPERCELL AND OR BOW ECHO EMBEDDED TORNADOES. MESOSCALE MODELS SUGGEST EASTERN MINNESOTA AND NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL TAKE A TURN SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT PARALLEL TO 850-300 MILLIBAR THICKNESS LINES AND ALONG A WARM FRONT AND COULD MAKE IT INTO OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES TOWARD NOON. MEANWHILE...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN SLOWER TO DEVELOP AND ARE SHOWING LESS LIFE OVER SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS EARLY THIS OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH 25 TO 30 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET FROM THE OZARKS TO WESTERN ILLINOIS FEEDING THESE STORMS AND AN 100 KNOT UPPER JET STREAK MOVING INTO CENTRAL IOWA ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE...OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...SHOULD SEE THE STORMS INTENSIFY AS THEY MOVE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND SHARP INSTABILITY GRADIENT. SURFACE BASE CAPES WERE STILL 2000 J/KG OR HIGHER EARLY THIS AM...SOUTH AND WEST OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE FIRST NORTHERN ILLINOIS STORM CLUSTERS SHOULD MAKE IT INTO OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES BEFORE 12Z. 1000-500 MILLIBAR BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDE TO 30 KNOTS OR MORE...STORM STORM MOTION ALONG THE WARM FRONT AND INSTABILITY GRADIENT...AND LONG CURVED HODOGRAPHS SUGGEST WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ALL TYPES OF SEVERE WEATHER ON THE TABLE...EVEN DURING THE MORNING HOURS. FLASH FLOODING COULD CERTAINLY CONTINUE BE AN ISSUE...ESPECIALLY IF AREAS EFFECTED BY LAST NIGHT'S STORMS TAKE ANOTHER HIT. 3 HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE LESS THAN 2 INCHES FOR THOSE COUNTIES. FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL GO IN EFFECT AT 5 AM FOR ALL OF CENTRAL INDIANA AND RUN THROUGH 5 AM TUESDAY. AFTER THE MORNING AND OR EARLY AFTERNOON CONVECTION MOVES THROUGH...THE STATIONARY FRONT SHOULD SLIP A LITTLE SOUTHWARD DUE TO STORM OUTFLOW...BEFORE SHORTLY THEREAFTER RETURNING NORTHEAST...AS THE ATMOSPHERE RECOVERS. AS IT DOES...INSTABILITY SHOULD QUICKLY BUILD AGAIN FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST WITH MIXED LAYER CAPES TO 3000 J/KG OR MORE AND LITTLE INHIBITION. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO MORE LATE DAY STORMS BEFORE ANOTHER COMPLEX LIKELY MOVES IN FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE EVENING OR OVERNIGHT. WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE A THREAT WITH THESE STORMS ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN AND RESULTANT FLOODING. WPC 24 HOUR QPF FORECAST ENDING AT 12Z TUESDAY HAS A LARGE AREA OF 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL OVER CENTRAL INDIANA...WHICH LOOKS EASILY ATTAINABLE WITH SEVERAL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES READY TO ROLL THROUGH. MANY LOCALES COULD SEE MUCH MORE THAN 2 INCHES. SPC DAY1 MODERATE RISK LOOKS ABOUT RIGHT WITH BEST HAIL CHANCES AND TORNADO CHANCES ACROSS ILLINOIS AND SOUTHWESTERN PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA AND 45% CONVECTIVE WIND CONTOUR ACROSS ALL BUT OUR FAR NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES. WITH A LOT OF CLOUDS AND CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS AROUND TODAY...PREFER THE 00Z NAM MOS THAT WAS NOT AS WARM AS THE 00Z GFS OR ENSEMBLE MOS. CONVERSELY...WENT WITH THE SLIGHTLY WARMER 00Z GFS MOS AND ENSEMBLE MOS TONIGHT...WITH CONVECTION AROUND. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... ISSUED AT 242 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 THUNDERSTORMS AND QUITE POSSIBLY FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHORT TERM AS MODELS AGREE A SHARP UPPER TROUGH WILL DROP DOWN OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND FORCE A COMPLEX SURFACE BOUNDARY OR BOUNDARIES SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER TUESDAY NIGHT WHICH SHOULD PUT AN END TO THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR NEAR 48 HOURS. THIS SHOULD ALLOW AT LEAST THE FLOODED LOW LYING AREAS AWAY FROM RIVERS AND STREAMS TO RECOVER. EXPECT AT LEAST SCATTERED STORMS ON TUESDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES...LEFT OVER BOUNDARIES REMAIN OVER THE AREA AND INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE REMAIN PLENTIFUL. WOULD NOT RULE OUT A FEW SEVERE STORMS...MAINLY SOUTH OF AN ANDERSON TO NOBLESVILLE TO CRAWFORDSVILLE LINE AND EARLIER IN THE DAY WHEN THE LOW LEVEL INFLOW IS STILL SOUTHWEST. SPC DAY2 MARGINAL RISK REFLECTS THIS. THE SEYMOUR AND BEDFORD AREAS WILL BE IN A SLIGHT RISK. THE REMAINING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL BE EXITING SOUTHEAST TUESDAY EVENING AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE APPALACHIANS. BROAD AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND KEEP IT DRY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. STILL COULD SEE SOME LINGERING CLOUDS TUESDAY NIGHT...DIURNAL CU ON WEDNESDAY AND INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AROUND THE NORTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE 00Z GFS MOS AGAIN LOOKS TOO WARM TUESDAY WITH PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TO BE AROUND. THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM...00Z MOS FAIRLY CLOSE AND LOOKS REASONABLE. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... ISSUED AT 309 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 THE LONG TERM WILL START OUT DRY AS AN UPPER RIDGE AXIS MOVES THROUGH CENTRAL INDIANA. BY THURSDAY NIGHT THOUGH AN UPPER WAVE WILL APPROACH IN THE FLATTER FLOW PATTERN AND BRING SOME THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BACK INTO THE AREA. AFTER THAT THE CORE OF THE UPPER RIDGE REBUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AND STARTS TO RETROGRADE BACK TO THE WEST. THIS WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH THE REST OF THE LONG TERM AS UPPER WAVES ROUND THE RIDGE AND INTERACT WITH A WARM HUMID AIRMASS. WHILE THURSDAY SHOULD SEE HIGH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THEY WILL REBOUND TO NORMAL/JUST ABOVE NORMAL VALUES IN THE MIDDLE 80S TO LOWER 90S FOR THE REST OF THE LONG TERM. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 131500Z TAF UPDATE/... ISSUED AT 1040 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 MAIN FOCUS FOR THE UPDATE IS TO FINE TUNE TIMING FOR INTENSE CONVECTIVE LINE AT ALL TERMINALS. HAVE BUMPED UP POTENTIAL WIND GUSTS TO 45KTS FOR AN HOUR TIME FRAME BETWEEN NOW AND 18Z AT ALL TERMINALS. EXPECTED IMPACT ARRIVES AT KIND AROUND 1530Z. REST OF FORECAST UNCHANGED...12Z DISCUSSION FOLLOWS. LINE OF STORMS MOVING SOUTHEAST FROM NORTHERN ILLINOIS SHOULD IMPACT THE SITES LATER THIS MORNING. KLAF SHOULD SEE STORMS ARRIVE SOMETIME AFTER 14Z...KIND AND KHUF AROUND 16Z...AND KBMG AROUND 17Z. PUT A TEMPO GROUP AT EACH SITE WITH IFR VISIBILITIES AND INCLUDED WIND GUSTS OF 40 KTS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AS THE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH...BUT HIGHER GUSTS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THINK THERE WILL BE A BREAK AFTER THE LINE MOVES THROUGH...BUT COULD SEE SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT SO WILL INCLUDE VCTS THROUGHOUT. EXPECT ANOTHER LINE OF STORMS WITH SEVERE POTENTIAL TO MOVE THROUGH THIS EVENING/TONIGHT...BUT CONFIDENCE IN SPECIFIC TIMING IS LOW. WILL CONTINUE WITH EARLIER FORECAST BRINGING STORMS IN AFTER 23Z AT KLAF AND 1Z FOR KIND. MODELS ARE SHOWING A VARIETY OF TIMING THOUGH...AND GFS IS LATER WITH ANOTHER WAVE SO WILL STILL KEEP VCTS GOING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
