Yep, the center of the track for remnants of Bill is expected to be near Terre Haute at 1 a.m. Sat.  This will only worsen the flooding here in the Heartland.   It will increase shear and helicity.  And with a potential svr system showing up for early next week it will certainly be an active period.

12z Euro at 120 shows 1002 over central PA. I-70 runner it appears.

 

 

The in-between increments show it passing over IND and then near/just north of CMH.  Usually that would be slamma jamma time here in terms of heavy rain but not as much precip north of the low as you'd think.

00z GGEM farther north with the slug of moisture from Bill.

 

Besides the actual track, part of this is going to depend on smaller scale details, like how much of an enhanced band develops on the N/W side.  Sort of a messy setup with the other system in the area.

Noticed both NAM and GFS initialized weaker than what it actually is. Wonder if that explains why they are weaker than Euro/Ukie?

00z UKMET initialized weaker too.  I think it's tough for the models to handle the exact pressure since it's on such a small scale.  The specialized tropical models might do better in that regard but that's no guarantee.

Wabash River in moderate flood at LAF.  Besides being wet here, the rain N/E has fallen in a pretty "good" spot to raise the river level dramatically.

We'd be in big trouble if Bill's remnants come farther north (or we get trained unexpectedly in the next day or two), but models seem to want to keep the heaviest rain farther south.

It's moving up, as it's now at 22.41 feet (2:00pm ob).

 

That'd be good for the 28th highest crest on the Wabash at the LAF gauge. Though I guess the (p)'s below mean subject to further review.

Those top crests are crazy...and to read the impacts about what happens at those levels.  Can never say never as far as something like that happening again in the future but the changes that have been done over the years make an insane crest less likely.

Yeah, these would be something to see.

 

 

32.1 Massive flooding in progress affecting extensive commercial...residential and agricultural areas. Float of river monitoring equipment in well house approaching the shelf. Warning...river level may be incorrect. Get confirmation from March 1913 high water mark on RR Bridge over South River Road. Wire weight gage on Brown Street Bridge abutment likley inacessible. Note high water mark for historic reasons.

32 Water level approaches a record flood. Only new US 231, Harrison St and Sagamore Pky connect Lafayette and W. Lafayette. In W. Lafayette entire Levee Plaza and nearby business district are underwater. This includes the area south and west of State St along River Rd. Water is nearing the second floor in Williamsburg Apt. In Lafayette, water is several feet deep in commercial and industrial areas along Canal and Sycamore St. Flood waters are up to 4th St., less than 2 blocks for the courthouse.

30 Water level is approaching a record flood in Lafayette and West Lafayette. Levee Plaza and nearby businesses in West Lafayette is underwater. In Lafayette...water is up to 4th Street. Business and industry along Canal Street underwater. Large business area in West Lafayette flood, including Levee Plaza, lower levels of Hilton Garden Inn and Wabash Landing Apts. Water begins to flow over State and Brown Streets. Water is several feet deep in Williamsburg Apartments. In Lafayette, 1st Street floods.

28 Major flooding becomes a disaster. In West Lafayette, businesses in Levee Plaza and along State and Wood streets begin to flood. Flooding and possible evacuations in Williamsburg Apartments. West Lafayette Wastewater Treatment Plant floods. In Lafayette, industrial and commercial flooding expands along Canal and Sycamore Streets. Canal and Sycamore Streets are nearly impassable. Water is several feet deep in many rural areas of Tippecanoe County. Access to low areas is possible by boat.

Saturday could be kind of an interesting day in the sense that the remnants of Bill will be in the region along with the possibility of severe storms farther north closer to the frontal boundary.  Both of those in the subforum on the same day...something that probably doesn't happen very often.

Several rounds of heavy showers here at Fortville today.  One at dawn, the other two this afternoon, interspersed with hazy sun at times.  East central IN is also beginning to get in on the heavier rains in addition to upstream in the upper Wabash basin.  Will indeed be interesting to see what the rainfall totals will be for this week come next Monday.  Very little wind.  Rain has come straight down today.
