.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 411 AM EDT Fri May 26 2017

There is the potential for another round of heavy rain late today
and especially tonight. A Meso Convective System over northeast
Kansas early this morning should track east/northeast into our
area late today and tonight. A flash flood watch has been issued
over areas that received the heaviest rains Wednesday night,
including amounts over 5 inches. This area extends from Allen
County Indiana to Van Wert, and then south to include Jay county.
There is still some uncertainty in rainfall amounts, but between
1 to 2 inches are possible with locally higher amounts. Several
models did not initialize the MCS very well and were rejected.
Favor the NMM that includes several parameters for heavy rain
including a deep warm cloud layer, precipitable water values
topping out over 1.8 inches at Fort Wayne and a tightly packed
thermal gradient in the vicinity of the low. There will be a break
in the rain Saturday before next system arrives Saturday night
with more showers and storms.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 411 AM EDT Fri May 26 2017

Tuesday, before the pattern amplifies late in the week with warmer
weather and more unsettled conditions.
