The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 12:00Z, 7.3 hours before the alert went out and 169 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
114 PM EST WED FEB 6 2008
.AVIATION...
A SFC LOW NW OF LAF WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD...WITH WINDS BECOMING WEST TO NW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE
LOW. HAVE DELAYED THE MIX OF PCPN AT SBN GIVEN LATEST TRENDS/NAM
WRF FCST THERMAL PROFILE. CONDITIONS SHOULD DETERIORATE ONCE THE
LOW PASSES...WITH PCPN CHANGING TO ALL SNOW.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1033 AM EST WED FEB 6 2008/
UPDATE...
REPORTS OF LIGHT ICING OCCURING ACROSS NORTHERN HILLSDALE COUNTY IN
MICHIGAN SO HAVE EXPANDED WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY EAST INTO
REMAINDER OF MICHIGAN COUNTIES. NORTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHWEST OHIO
SEEING TEMPS HOVERING BETWEEN 32 AND 34 DEGREES WITH SOME REPORTS OF
PATCHY FREEZING RAIN IN COLDER AREAS.
AS WE HAVE SEEN ALL WINTER...SURFACE LOW TAKING A MUCH FURTHER WEST
TRACK AND THIS IS SLOWING THE ARRIVAL OF COLDER AIR AND
PRECIPITATION CHANGEOVER. 12Z NAM STILL INDICATES RAPID CHANGEOVER
BETWEEN 18 AND 21Z BUT LESS QPF IN FAR NORTHWEST GIVEN FURTHER
NORTHWEST TRACK. MUCH HEAVIER PRECIPITATION HAS ALSO DEVELOPED EAST
OF THE NEW SURFACE LOW IN RELATIVE WARM SECTOR WITH STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT AND THETA E ADVECTION. HENCE LATEST UPDATE BUMPED UP
QPF IN SOUTHEAST TO HALF INCH AMOUNTS AND LOWERED NORTHWEST AREAS.
FAR NORTHERN BERRIEN COUNTY STILL HAS BEST SHOT AT NEARING WARNING
CRITERIA SO ALLOWED WARNING TO CONTINUE THERE GIVEN REPORTS AT KLWA
OF SNOW MOST OF THE MORNING. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW...FREEZING
RAIN AND SLEET COUPLED WITH INCREASING WINDS IS THE MAIN FACTOR FOR
THE WARNING COMPARED TO JUST STRAIGHT CRITERIA. WILL MONITOR NEW
MODEL DATA AND RADAR TRENDS FOR POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE
AFTERNOON PACKAGE.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 422 AM EST WED FEB 6 2008/
SHORT TERM...
TODAY AND TONIGHT
.POTENT STORM SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE REGION TODAY...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONFIRMS A VERY INTENSE UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE
ACROSS PARTS OF OK AND KS. SFC PRESSURE FALLS ARE ONGOING ACROSS
PARTS OF WESTERN IL IN RESPONSE TO THE EJECTING UPPER SYSTEM. NPN
AND VWP PROFILER DATA CONFIRMS H925-H85 WINDS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO
VEER ACROSS THE FA...TURNING MORE SE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS THIS
WILL BE CRITICAL TO RESULTANT PRECIP TYPE EXPECTED TODAY...AS THIS
WILL BETHE BIGGEST CONCERN IN THE PERIOD. OTHERWISE...TEMPS ARE
HANGING IN THE 30S ACROSS THE FA WITH THE COLDEST TEMPS OVER NE
ZONES. RAINFALL HAS ENDED ACROSS THE FA...SAVE A FEW REPORTS OF
DRIZZLE AND FLURRIES.
HAVE OPTED FOR A GFS/ECMWF/SREF/NMM4 BLEND. THERMAL AND MOMENTUM
ANALYSIS AT 00Z REVEALED A FEW FLAWS IN THE GFS. HOWEVER THE OVERALL
HANDLING OF THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AND RESULTING SFC LOW LOOK
REASONABLE.
TODAY...DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL PUSH NE INTO THE MIDWEST.
LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL PROVIDE THE
FOCUS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF YET ANOTHER SFC WAVE. TRACK AND
DEEPENING NATURE OF THE MID LEVEL IMPULSE WILL PLACE THE TRACK OF
THE SFC WAVE OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN IN. SFC WAVE WILL RAPIDLY
BECOME OCCLUDED AS THE UPPER LOW CLOSES OFF...LENDING TO A LACK OF
ANY SFC WAA. HOWEVER...ALOFT IS A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY. MODEL
ANALYSIS REVEALS POTENT THETA-E CONVERGENCE FROM H925 TO H7 OVER THE
FA COINCIDENT UNDER POWERFUL LARGE SCALE ASCENT PER 125 KNOTS AT H5.
CROSS ISENTROPIC FLOW AROUND H85 REVEALS NEARLY 30 KNOTS OF
FLOW...DIRECTED EAST TO WEST. ALL INGREDIENTS ARE CERTAINLY THERE
FOR PERIOD OF MODERATE PRECIP OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA.
BIGGEST CONCERN...THOUGH IS PRECIP TYPE. WITH VEERING LL WIND
PROFILE PRESENT...EXPECTING A PERIOD OF WAA IN THE H950-H85
LAYER...HELPING TO SUPPORT RAIN CHANCES THROUGH LATE MORNING.
HOWEVER...WITH THE DEPARTURE OF CLOSED LOW AT THE SFC THROUGH
H85...WINDS WILL QUICKLY VEER NORTH AND CAA WILL ENSUE. THIS IS
EXPECTED TO OCCUR DURING TH PERIOD OF MOST INTENSE LL LIFT AND LARGE
SCALE ASCENT. WITH ONGOING SFC CAA OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA
PER NE WINDS...EXPECTING RAIN CHANGING TO SLEET/ZR IN THE NORTH THEN
QUICKLY TO SNOW. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE INGESTED INTO THE THIS
SYSTEM/TRACK OF THE H7 LOW OVER NW ZONES/THE INTENSE NATURE OF THE
UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE/AND SNOW RATIOS OF 20:1...EXPECTING A PERIOD OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IN THE NW/PARTICULARLY BERRIEN COUNTY.
INTENSE ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE UNDER STEEP MID LAPSE RATES WILL FURTHER
INCREASE THE CHANCES FOR BANDED PRECIP...WITH THUNDER A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY. WITH EXPECTED MIX PRECIP/CONCERNS FOR HEAVY SNOW/AND
STRONG NW WINDS ON THE BACK OF THIS SYSTEM...HAVE ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WARNING FOR BERRIEN COUNTY WHERE 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW CAN BE
EXPECTED OVER THE NW PORTION OF THE COUNTY. ELSEWHERE...THE WINTER
WEATHER ADV IS STILL IN EFFECT IN PORTIONS OF THE NW ZONES DUE TO
CONCERNS ON MIXED PRECIP/SNOW ACCUMS/AND THEN A PERIOD OF BLOWING
SNOW POSSIBLE TONIGHT.
THINGS WILL QUICKLY WIND DOWN TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
SPEEDS OUT OF THE REGION. LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS AND BLOWING SNOW
WILL DIMINISH WITH GENERAL OVERCAST EXPECTED. CAA WILL ALLOW LOWS TO
DIP INTO THE 20S AT ALL LOCATIONS.
LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
GFS SEEMS TO HAVE INITIALIZED WELL...HAS STRONG SUPPORT FROM ITS
ENSEMBLE MEAN...AND THE 12Z/05 AND 00Z/06 EURO RUNS. HAVE STAYED
VERY CLOSE TO GFS/EURO SOLUTIONS...MINOR DISAGREEMENTS AT THE VERY
END OF THE PERIOD WITH A POSSIBLE FRONTAL PASSAGE. MONDAY TUESDAY
TIMEFRAME...LEANED MORE TOWARDS THE 00Z/06Z GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN.
STRONG SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CONUS...GENERAL
TROUGHINESS ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS AS A WEAK SHRTWV MOVES THROUGH
THE REGION THURSDAY...LIMITIED MOISTURE AVAILABLE...WILL KEEP HIGH
END CHC POPS. ENERGY EJECTS FROM THE PAC NW THURSDAY NIGHT...AND
MOVES EAST TOWARDS THE REGION...SYSTEM PULLS THROUGH THE AREA
FRIDAY. STRONG AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GFS/EURO ON BOTH STRENGTH AND
TIMING...THOUGH THE GFS SEEMS TO SQUEEZE OUT A BIT MORE QPF THAN THE
EURO. HAVE WENT JUST UNDER THE GFS VALUES. BUFKIT WOULD SUGGEST THAT
THE PRECIP COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM RAIN/SNOW OR SLEET...HAVE
MENTIONED RAIN OR SNOW FOR NOW. HAVE BUMPED TEMPS UP SLIGHTLY WITH
THE SOUTHERLY FLOW THAT PUSHES A SMALL AMOUNT OF WARMER AIR
NORTHWARDS.
SHARP TROUGH WILL DIG ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY AND INTO THE GREAT
LAKES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...WITH PRECIP CHCS INCREASING
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. MAYBE SOME LAKE EFFECT POSSIBLE SAT NIGHT AND
ON THRU SUNDAY WITH DELTA TS NEARING -20 OR MORE...LIMITING FACTOR
MAY BE THE DEPTH OF THE INVERSION. MODELS SHOWING DECENT 925
PLUME...WITH POSSIBLE CONNECTION TO LK SUPERIOR ON SUNDAY. LIGHT
ACCUMS POSSIBLE THRU THE PERIOD ACROSS THE AREA AS A WHOLE. DRAMATIC
TEMPS DROP BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT ON SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...VERY
STRONG PRESSUE GRADIENT WILL CREATE WINDS SUSTAINED NEARING 25 TO 30
MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS AND DRIVE VERY COLD AIR INTO THEREGION FROM
THE NORTHWEST WITH TEMPS DROPPING FROM THE LOWER 30S SATURDAY AFTN
INTO THE SNGLE DIGITS FOR MOST OF THE AREA BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY.
STRONG CAA WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO GET
INTO THE LOWER OR MIDDLE TEENS. TROUGH STARTS TO LIFT ON SUNDAY INTO
THE NORTHEASTERN STATES...AS THE CENTER OF COLD CANADIAN HIGH MOVES
JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA.
SFC HIGH DRIFTS EAST OF THE REGION ON MONDAY ALLOWING FOR SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPS ACROSS THE REGION...BUT STILL BELOW SEASONAL LEVELS
MOST LIKELY. FRONT WILL START TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA...HERE IS WHERE SOME OF THE DISAGREEMENT LIES BETWEEN THE
OPERATIONAL MODELS. THE GFS IS FASTER THAN THE EURO...HAVE HALVED
THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE ENSMBLE MEAN AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...AND
WILL PROG THE FRONT THRU THE REGION APPROX MONDAY NIGHT..HAVE LOW
CHC POPS WITH THE UNCERTAINTY AT THAT TIMEFRAME. KEPT TUESDAY DRY
WITH ALL MODELS SUGGESTING THAT THE FRONT SHOULD BE WELL SOUTH OF
THE REGION...STILL THOUGH CANNOT SAY THAT CONFIDENCE OF THIS IS HIGH
EVEN WITH MODEL CONVERGENCE OF THAT SOLUTION...MORE NORTHERLY OR
NORTHWEST SOLUTIONS TO THESE EXTENDED TIMEFRAMES SEEM TO VERIFY WELL
THIS SEASON SO FAR...SO TIMEFRAME STILL COULD HAVE SOME WINTRY
TRICKS UP ITS SLEEVE.
