Relatively quiet January with below normal temperatures and slightly below normal precipitation, yet snowy Temperatures were relatively cold for the month of January. Temperatures ranged from about 2 to 3 degrees below normal. Precipitation amounts were slightly below normal. For the month of January 2015, the average high temperature at the Fort Wayne airport was 29.3 degrees. This is 3.1 degrees below the normal value of 32.4 degrees. The average low temperature was 14.0 degrees which is 3.4 degrees below the normal value of 17.4 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 29.3 degrees which is 3.1 degrees below the normal value of 32.4 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of -8 degrees on the 8 th to a high of 42 on the 17 th. There were 2.23 inches of liquid equivalent precipitation at the airport during the month. This is 0.03 inches below the normal value of 2.26 inches. There were 12.7 inches of snow which is 2.6 inches above the normal value of 10.1 inches. The greatest 24-hour total was 1.07 inches on the 3rd. The greatest 24-hour snowfall total was 2.5 inches on the 6 th. The seasonal snowfall total stands at 17.5 inches which is 3.2 inches below the normal value of 20.7 inches. At the South Bend airport, the average high temperature was 30.1 degrees which is 1.2 degrees below the normal value of 31.3 degrees. The average low temperature was 14.9 degrees. This is 2.7 degrees below the normal value of 17.6 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 30.1 degrees. This is 1.2 degrees below the normal value of 31.3 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a high of 46 degrees on the 17 th to -9 on the 8 th. There were 1.92 inches of liquid equivalent precipitation for the month. This is 0.37 inches below the normal value of 2.29 inches. There were 22.1 inches of snow for the month. This is 1.5 inches above the normal value of 20.6 inches. This brings the seasonal total to 41.6 inches which is 1.5 inches below the normal value of 43.1 inches. The greatest 24-hour precipitation amount was 0.80 inches on the 3 rd. The greatest 24-hour snowfall was 4.9 inches on the 7 th.

2 No flooding issues observed but ice increasing Due to the unwavering upper air pattern, persistent below normal temperatures have continued to foster ice production on large stem rivers and tributaries. This will heighten, though not insure, future flooding potential during March and early April due to ice break-up and jamming. No drought conditions According to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor, there are no drought conditions in the HSA.

X An X inside this box indicates that no flooding occurred within this hydrologic service area. Temperatures well below normal values and snowfall well above normal for the month February was an unusually snowy month across the northern Indiana HSA. Record snowfall was reported in South Bend and well above normal snow was recorded at Fort Wayne. Temperatures were significantly below normal. The weather pattern evolved to where cold fronts passed through every couple of days which brought cold temperatures and winter precipitation. At the Fort Wayne airport, the average high temperature was 24.4 degrees. This was 11.9 degrees below the normal value of 36.3 degrees. The average low temperature of 7 degrees was 13.3 degrees below the normal value of 20.3 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 15.7 degrees which was 12.6 degrees below the normal value of 28.3 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of -6 degrees on the 23 rd and 24 th to a high of 45 degrees on the 8 th. Liquid equivalent precipitation was slightly below normal for the month. There was 1.54 inches reported which was 0.5 inches below the normal value of 2.04 inches. The greatest 24-hour precipitation total was 0.85 on the 1 st. Of this precipitation, there was 19 inches of snow. This was 11.3 inches above the normal value of 7.7 inches. This brought the seasonal total to 36.5 inches which was 8.1 inches above the normal value of 28.4 inches. The greatest 24-hour snowfall was 9 inches on the 1 st and the greatest snow depth was also 9 inches on the 2 nd. At South Bend, the average high temperature was a chilly 24.5 degrees. This was 10.6 degrees below the normal value of 35.1 degrees. The average low temperature was 7.1 degrees. This was 13.4 degrees below the normal value of 20.5 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 15.8 degrees which was 12 degrees below the normal value of 27.8 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of -12 degrees on the 20 th to a high of 43 on the 7 th and 8 th. Liquid equivalent precipitation for the month was nearly normal. There was 1.98 inches reported at the airport. This was 0.03 inches above the normal value of 1.95 inches. Of this precipitation, there was a record breaking snowfall total of 36.2 inches. This was 21.2 inches above the normal value of 15 inches. This brought the seasonal total to 78 inches which was 19.9 inches above the normal value of 58.1 inches. The greatest 24-hour snowfall was 14.7 inches and the greatest snow depth was 15 inches. Rivers have ice but no flooding problems yet

5 Very cold temperatures across the region have allowed most rivers to freeze. The levels have been low so there has been has been no problem with ice created flooding. There has been little, if any, break up of the ice. Soil moisture values dropping Due to recent precipitation deficits across the area, soil moisture levels have been dropping. Drought conditions are not yet present but could develop over parts of the area.

An X inside this box indicates that no flooding occurred within this hydrologic service area. Cooler and drier than normal conditions for the month of March Winter continued its grip on the Northern Indiana HSA during the month of March. Temperatures for the month averaged from 2 to 5 degrees below climatological normal values. Liquid equivalent precipitation was significantly below normal values. At the Fort Wayne airport, the average high temperature for March was 43.6 degrees. This was 4.4 degrees below the normal value of 48 degrees. The average low temperature was 24.1 degrees. This was 4.6 degrees below the normal value of 28.7 degrees. This resulted in a monthly average temperature of 33.8 degrees which was 4.6 degrees below the normal value of 38.4 degrees. Temperatures ranged from a low of -3 degrees on the 6 th to a high of 67 degrees on the 16 th. There was 2.07 inches of liquid equivalent precipitation for the month. This was 0.64 inches below the normal value of 2.71 inches. The greatest 24-hour rainfall total was 0.72 inches on the 26 th. Of this total, there was 8.6 inches of snow. This was more than double the average snowfall for March (4.1 inches). This brought the seasonal total to 45.1 inches which was 12.6 inches above the normal value of 32.5 inches. The greatest 24-hour snowfall total was 4.6 inches and the greatest snow depth was 6 inches. At the South Bend airport, temperatures were also below normal values. The average high temperature was 44.2 degrees. This was 2.3 degrees below the normal value of 46.5 degrees. The average low temperature was 24.3 degrees. This was 3.9 degrees below the normal value of 28.4 degrees. This resulted in a mean monthly temperature of 34.4 degrees which was 3.1 degrees below the normal value of 37.5 degrees. Precipitation was fairly scarce for the month. There was 0.78 inches of liquid reported at the airport. This was 1.64 inches below the normal value of 2.42 inches. The greatest 24-hour precipitation amount was 0.31 inches on the 25 th. Of this precipitation, there was 6.1 inches of snow. This was one inch below the normal value of 7.1 inches. This brought the seasonal total to 83.9 inches which was 18.7 inches above the normal value of 65.2 inches. The greatest 24-hour snowfall was 4.7 inches and the greatest snow depth was 12 inches. Minor flooding with only isolated ice jam flooding Warming temperatures caused ice on area rivers to begin to melt. There were only minor issues with ice jamming. The Maumee River had some minor flooding due to an ice jam between Napoleon and Grand

8 Rapids. There was no flooding in Napoleon, but there was minor flooding east of town in Mary Jane Thurston State Park. There was also some minor flooding in the town of Warren due to an ice jam on the Salamonie River. The river went out of its banks for about 12 hours and peaked about a foot and a half above flood stage. Otherwise, flooding on other area rivers was minor and brief. Soil conditions drying out across the north Several months of below normal liquid equivalent precipitation across southern Michigan and northern Indiana has led to increasingly dry soil moisture. According to the latest Drought Monitor, these areas are now classified as D0 or Abnormally Dry.

X An X inside this box indicates that no flooding occurred within this hydrologic service area. Temperatures near to slightly above normal, precipitation below normal Temperatures across the Northern Indiana HSA were at to slightly above normal values for the month of April. Precipitation returned to below normal levels. At the Fort Wayne airport, the average high temperature was 62.4 degrees. This was 1.3 degrees above the normal value of 61.1 degrees. The average low temperature was 38.5 degrees which was 0.4 degrees below the normal value of 38.9 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 50.5 degrees which was half a degree above the normal value of 50 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of 26 degrees on the 4 th to a high of 80 degrees on the 18 th. Precipitation was only slightly below normal for the month. There was 3.28 inches of precipitation reported at the airport. This was 0.24 inches below the normal value of 3.52 inches. The greatest 24-hour precipitation was 1.21 inches from the 19 th to the 20 th. Of this precipitation, there was only a trace of snowfall. This occurred on the 22 nd and left the seasonal total at 45.1 inches. This was 11.6 inches above the normal value of 33.5 inches. At South Bend, the average high temperature for the month was 62.1 degrees. This was 2.6 degrees above the normal value of 59.5 degrees. The average low temperature of 38.6 degrees matched the normal value. The resulting average monthly temperature was 50.3 degrees. This was 1.3 degrees above the normal value of 49 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of 23 degrees on the 4 th to a high of 80 on the 18 th. Precipitation at South Bend was well below normal for the month. There was only 2.40 inches recorded for the month. This was 0.83 inches below the normal value of 3.23 inches. The greatest 24-hour precipitation total was 0.74 inches from the 19 th to the 20 th. Of this amount, there was only a trace of snowfall. This occurred on the 22 nd and left the seasonal total at 83.9 inches. This was 17.3 inches above the normal value of 66.6 inches. With low rainfall totals, no flooding occurs River levels lowered in the wake of the heavier March rains. The continued lower than normal precipitation helped to keep rivers not only in banks, but below normal stage levels. Abnormally dry conditions continue across the area

11 Rainfall totals were once again below normal across the area. This has allowed abnormally dry conditions to spread across the Northern Indiana HSA. According to the latest Drought Monitor, Abnormally Dry (D0) conditions were present across all of Lower Michigan, four counties in far northwest Ohio and Indiana counties north of U.S. Highway 30 and along the Tippecanoe River drainage area.

Above normal temperatures and rainfall Temperatures were on the rise across the Northern Indiana HSA during the month of May. Summertime readings were recorded on several occasions at area airports. Rainfall was above normal and was welcome as crops began to emerge after planting. At the Ft. Wayne airport, the average high temperature was 75.4 degrees which was 3.7 degrees above the normal value of 71.7 degrees. The average low temperature was 53.2 degrees. This was 4 degrees above the normal value of 49.2 degrees. This resulted in a monthly average temperature of 64.3 degrees. This was 3.9 degrees above the normal value of 60.4 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a cold of 36 degrees on the 20 th to a high of 86 degrees on the 7 th and 8 th. Precipitation was well above normal for the month of May. There was 5.01 inches of rain recorded at the airport. This was 0.74 inches above the normal value of 4.27 inches. The greatest 24-hour rainfall total was 1.80 inches from the 30 th to the 31 st. At South Bend, the average high temperature was 73.6 degrees. This was 3.6 degrees above the normal value of 70 degrees. The average low temperature was 52.7 degrees which was 4.1 degrees above the normal value of 48.6 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 63.2 degrees. This was 3.9 degrees above the normal temperature of 59.3 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of 37 degrees on the 1 st, 19 th and 20 th to 86 degrees on the 7 th. Rainfall was well above normal for the month. There were 6.01 inches of rain recorded at the airport. This was 2.18 inches above the normal value of 3.83 inches. The greatest 24-hour rainfall total was 2.41 inches from the 30 th to the 31 st. Minor flooding in a couple of locations Much of the month of May was relatively dry but that began to change toward the end of the month. During the last week of the month, heavy rain was reported across a large part of the area. Due to the fact that rivers were somewhat low due to a dry start to spring, only a couple of locations exceeded flood stage with these rains. The Kankakee River at Davis Route 30 in the western part of our area exceeded flood stage on the 31 st and was still rising at the end of the month.

13 The Tiffin River at Stryker, OH also went above flood stage on the 31 st. It was still rising at the end of the month. Dry conditions improving The rain received across the area help to relieve some of the abnormally dry conditions across the area. According to the June 2 nd Drought Monitor, abnormally dry conditions (Drought category D0) persisted across portions of north central and northeast Indiana into south central Lower Michigan.

An X inside this box indicates that no flooding occurred within this hydrologic service area. Temperatures near normal values, precipitation well above normal Temperatures across the Northern Indiana HSA averaged nearly normal for the month of June. Monthly temperatures averaged near 69 degrees. However, the big problem for the area was precipitation. Not only was precipitation above normal for the month, there was a record breaking total at the Fort Wayne airport. This resulted in widespread, multiple flood events during the month. For June, at the Ft. Wayne airport, the average high temperature was 78.5 degrees. This was 2.4 degrees below the normal value of 80.9 degrees. The average low temperature was 60.8 degrees which was 1.5 degrees above the normal value of 59.3 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 69.7 degrees which was 0.4 below the normal value of 70.1 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of 44 on the 2 nd to 89 degrees on the 10 th and 11 th. Rainfall was well above normal for the month of June. In fact, the total for the month nearly tripled the monthly value. There was a record breaking inches recorded. This was 7.82 inches above the normal value of 4.16 inches. The greatest 24- hour rainfall total was 2.89 inches from the 15 th to the 16 th. At the South Bend airport, the average high temperature was 78.6 degrees which was 0.8 degrees below the normal value of 79.4 degrees. The average low temperature was 60.2 degrees. This was 1.5 degrees above the normal value of 58.7 degrees. This resulted in a mean monthly temperature of 69.4 degrees which was 0.3 degrees above the normal value of 69.1 degrees. Monthly temperatures ranged from a low of 44 degrees on the 2 nd to a high of 90 degrees on the 10 th. Rainfall was slightly above the normal value for the month. There was 4.07 inches recorded which was 0.28 inches above the normal value of 3.79 inches. The greatest 24-hour total was 1.13 inches from the 26 th to the 27 th. Widespread moderate to major flooding across the area The abnormally large rainfall totals across the southern and eastern portions of the forecast area led to multiple flood events for a number of rivers in Indiana and northwest Ohio. The Wabash River at Wabash went above and below flood stage a total of 4 times throughout the month. Record rainfall across the region sent multiple rivers to moderate and major flood stages and one to record stage. Bean Creek at Powers, Ohio registered a crest of feet on June 28 th. This broke the previous record of

16 20.57 feet that was set on November The following table is a summary of the flooding that exceeded moderate flood stage. Stream Stage Flood category Bean Creek at Powers BCRO ft.

An X inside this box indicates that no flooding occurred within this hydrologic service area. Cooler and wet pattern continued across the Northern Indiana HSA Weather conditions across the area remained in a cooler and wetter than normal pattern. The heavy rainfall persisted as a trough of low pressure over the area maintained an active weather pattern with above normal precipitation. With rivers already high from June rains, the new precipitation quickly forced numerous rivers above flood stage. At the Fort Wayne airport, the average high temperature was 81.4 degrees. This was 3 degrees below the normal value of 84.4 degrees. The average low temperature was 62.1 degrees which was 0.6 degrees below the normal value of 62.7 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 71.7 degrees which was 1.9 degrees below the normal value of 73.6 degrees. Temperatures ranged from a low of 56 degrees on the 4 th, 11 th and 22 nd to a high of 90 degrees on the 28 th. There was 5.97 inches of rainfall recorded at the airport for the month. This was 1.73 inches above the normal value of 4.24 inches. The greatest 24-hour rainfall total was 2.38 inches from the 13 th to the 14 th. At the South Bend airport, the average high temperature was 81.6 degrees. This was 1.3 degrees below the normal value of 82.9 degrees. The average low temperature was 60.8 degrees which was 2.3 degrees below the normal value of 63.1 degrees. This resulted in an average monthly temperature of 71.2 degrees. This was 1.8 degrees below the normal value of 73 degrees. The temperatures ranged from a low of 53 on the 2 nd, 8 th and 10 th to a high of 90 degrees on the 17 th, 18 th and 28 th. Rainfall here was also above normal for the month. There was 4.79 inches recorded at the airport. This was 0.79 inches above the normal value of 4 inches. The greatest 24-hour rainfall total was 1.98 inches from the 16 th to the 17 th. Flooding continued from June rains, new floods with July rains... There were several river sites that began the month of July above flood stage. The Blanchard, Maumee, St. Mary s, Salamonie, St. Joseph (OH/IN) and Wabash Rivers all had at least one forecast point that started the month above flood stage. By the end of the month, all rivers, with the exception of the North Branch of the Elkhart River, had fallen below flood stage. There were no reports of major flooding but several that exceeded moderate flood stage. The following table lists the river forecast points that exceeded moderate flood stage during the month.

Drought conditions ease considerably By month s end soil moisture conditions were wetted considerably and even longer term drought conditions improved markedly, owing to considerable rainfall from the 26 th through the 28 th.

40 Only extreme northeast Indiana, extreme northwest Ohio and most of south central Michigan remained abnormally dry (D0), Minor to moderate drought conditions developed by the end of the month across the HSA. The (D1) moderate drought conditions, per U.S. Drought Monitor, were primarily focused over far north central Indiana into south central Michigan. Lesser (D0) abnormally dry conditions, spread throughout the remainder of the HSA, save for southern Maumee River Basin and the upper reaches of the Wabash River Basin where conditions remained drought free. Minor River Flooding Develops by Month s End Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches across the region over an extended 3 day period, December 26 th -28 th, led to numerous points within the Maumee and Wabash River Basins to enter minor flood category. The Kankakee River at Davis also went into minor flood. December 2015 Total Precipitation
