The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
The second significant rain event of June occurred on the 23rd. The combination of a cold front and the moisture from a tropical storm dumped heavy rains of 2 to more than 5 inches in portions of north central, east central and southeast Indiana. This lead to flooding across central and northern portions of central Indiana.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 412 AM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 246 AM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017 A cold front is forecast to cross Indiana today, causing widespread showers and thunderstorms. High pressure will move in from the northwest overnight. The high should control Hoosier weather into Sunday, when another cold front is going to pass. A new high pressure system is predicted to arrive from the west Monday, and be moving off the east of our state by Thursday. && .NEAR TERM (Today and tonight)... Issued at 246 AM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017 The main issue is the threat of heavy rain. The models have been consistent about rain spreading over the entire CWA, but decreasing rapidly toward evening and ending by midnight. By morning we should be clear. The models have also been consistent with their QPF, with storm totals of over 2 inches in the south, but much lower to the northwest. The earlier forecast, including the Flash Flood Watch, doesn't need major changes. The biggest element of uncertainty is whether it will be possible cancel parts of the watch as the day goes on. Any cancellations will be in the northern and western parts of the current watch area. Guidance temperatures are close and look reasonable considering current observations and that there won't much sun today. && .SHORT TERM (Saturday through Sunday night)... Issued at 246 AM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017 The forecast problem is POPs Saturday night and Sunday. There is good agreement Saturday should be dry. Some models introduce a slight chance of rain Saturday night, but the consensus does not. There isn't an obvious mechanism to fire storms then that won't also be acting earlier when heating would favor convection. The dry consensus will be used. A low chance is in order for the north late Sunday when a secondary front will be present. With the ground wet from today's rain, but drier air arriving, we'll see partly cloudy days and mostly clear nights from cumulus. With the models similar about temperatures, the consensus forecast should be accurate to within about 2 degrees. Late in the weekend, it will feel more like mid May than late June. && .LONG TERM /Monday through Thursday/... Issued at 302 AM EDT Thu Jun 22 2017 A strong upper trough over the great lakes will dominate our weather early next week as high pressure over the middle Mississippi valley builds east across Kentucky and Tennessee. The GFS and Euro models indicate a few showers are possible part of our area Monday afternoon and evening as a weak upper disturbance moves our way. Will mention a slight chance of showers north and central sections Monday afternoon and a slight chance of evening showers west half Monday evening. Otherwise...high pressure will bring dry and quiet weather through Wednesday as it moves on to the east. High pressure will move on to the east coast and an increasing southerly flow will allow Gulf moisture to spread north into our region by Thursday. Models indicate an unstable air mass by then and will mention a chance of thunderstorms after the middle of next week. Temperatures will be cooler than normal early next week warming to near normal by days 6 and 7 as the upper trough moves on to. the east. Overall Superblend temperatures seem reasonable. && .AVIATION (Discussion for 230900Z TAF update)... Issued at 412 AM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017 Shower and thunderstorm activity will increase this morning as a southwesterly low level jet of 35-40 kts interacts with a front dropping south through the Great Lakes. LIFR visibility is probable in heavier precipitation. Ceilings should be mainly MVFR with areas of IFR under a warm and moist advection pattern. Surface winds 7-11 kts should veer from southwest early in the period to northwest by evening. Gusts 18-20 kts are possible. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch from 8 AM EDT this morning through this evening for INZ052>057-060>065-067>072. && SYNOPSIS...JK NEAR TERM...JK SHORT TERM...JK LONG TERM....JH AVIATION...JAS/JK
