Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 26, 6:30 AM EDT, 3 hours 41 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
630 AM EDT TUE OCT 26 2010

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL
SWEEP A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY...BRINGING
THUNDERSTORMS AND VERY STRONG WINDS THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
THE STRONG LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND PUSH WELL NORTH OF THE
GREAT LAKES ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...BRINGING COOLER BUT WINDY
CONDITIONS. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL THEN BUILD
ACROSS THE AREA AS THE WORK WEEK ENDS BRINGING MORE DRY BUT COOL
WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...

TODAY WILL BE ONE OF THE MORE ACTIVE...AND CHANGEABLE WEATHER DAYS
ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA IN SOME TIME. THE STRONG COLD FRONT OVER
WESTERN MISSOURI EARLY THIS MORNING WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE STATE
TODAY AS LOW PRESSURE OVER MINNESOTA AND IOWA CONTINUES TO DEEPEN.
EXCELLENT DYNAMICS ARE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS VERY
STRONG...NEGATIVELY TILTED WAVE WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT. GFS AND
NAM SUGGEST VERY STRONG POTENTIAL VORTICITY ADVECTION IN PLACE
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST FORCING ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW BEST
MOMENTUM TRANSFER ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA...WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH POSSIBLE. FURTHERMORE THE
ONGOING WIND ADVISORY LOOKS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AS THE 850MB LLJ
LOOKS TO TO BE BETWEEN 50 AND 70 KNTS DEPENDING UPON YOUR FAVORITE
MODEL. MAY UPGRADE TO HIGH WIND WARNING ACROSS THIS NORTHWEST
AREA. TIME HEIGHT SHOW EXCELLENT SATURATION TODAY AND STRONG
LIFT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW EXCELLENT SATURATION THIS MORNING
ALSO. SHEAR IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE AS GFS HELICITY IS NEAR 700.
LATEST RUNS ALSO SHOW MORE CAPE AVAILABLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS
MORNING. SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SHOWS STORM RELATIVE HELICITIES OF
600-750 AHEAD OF THE LINE...EXTENDING INTO SOUTHWEST INDIANA
ALREADY. CONVECTION HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED ALONG THE FRONT CROSSING
MISSOURI AND EXPECT THE PROPAGATION TO CONTINUE EASTWARD GIVEN THE
STRONG DYNAMICS IN PLACE. LATEST RUNS OF THE RAPID REFRESH MODEL
LOOKS TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROPAGATION OF
THE LINE...AND WILL FOLLOW THAT AS OPPOSED TO THE QUICKER NAM AND
GFS.

BEST TIMING LOOKS FOR LATE RUSH HOURS IN WESTERN CENTRAL
INDIANA...LATE MORNING FOR IND...KOKOMO...BLOOMINGTON AND EARLY
AFTERNOON FOR EASTERN PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA.

NONETHELESS THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE WILL BE EXPECTED TODAY.
WILL USE CATEGORICAL POPS...100 PERCENT. GIVEN THE VERY STRONG
SHEAR...SHORT LIVED TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT. FURTHERMORE ANY
STORMS THAT ARE ABLE TO MIX DOWN THE STRONG LLJ MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE. EXPECT STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING TEMPERATURES TODAY GIVEN
THE CLOUD COVER...RAIN AND COOLER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THE FRONT.
ONLY EASTERN PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA MAY SEE A TEMPERATURE RISE
AS THE COLD FRONT SHOULD REACH THERE ONLY BY EARLY TO MID
AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL
EAST OF CENTRAL INDIANA BY 00Z. FORECAST SOUNDINGS DRY OUT
CONSIDERABLY AS DO THE TIME HEIGHTS AS DRY AIR MIXES INTO THE
SYSTEM. HOWEVER THE STRONG DEEPENING LOW CONTINUES TO KEEP A
CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE CENTRAL INDIANA AND
AREAS TO THE NORTH. THUS WILL AIM FOR A PARTLY CLOUDY FORECAST
TONIGHT. GIVEN THE EXPECTED MIXING WILL AIM FOR LOWS AT OR ABOVE
MAVMOS.

COOL DRY AIR CONTINUES TO STREAM ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA ON
WEDNESDAY. TIME HEIGHTS SECTIONS REMAIN DRY AS DO THE FORECAST
SOUNDINGS. BUFKIT MOMENTUM TRANSFER ONCE AGAIN SUGGEST GUSTY WINDS
IN PLACE. GIVEN THE FALL OF THE DEWPOINTS TO THE LOWER 30S...FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY BECOME A CONCERN...HOWEVER THIS WILL DEPEND
UPON RAINFALL AMOUNTS TODAY. FOR NOW WILL MENTION HEIGHT FIRE
DANGER ON WEDNESDAY. GIVEN THE GOOD MIXING AND SOUTHWEST FLOW
AHEAD OF A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY
NEAR MAVMOS.

STRONGER COLD AIR ADVECTION BEGINS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE
SECONDARY COLD FRONT PASSES. 850MB TEMPS BEGIN TO FALL TOWARD 0C
BY 12Z THURSDAY UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. ALTHOUGH GOOD MIXING
REMAINS IN PLACE DUE TO THE STRONG LOW TO THE NORTH...TREND LOWS
1-2 DEGREES COOLER THAN MAVMOS.

DRY AND COLD AIR WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY
AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO PULL NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS SLOWLY BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA. NAM SUGGESTS 850MB
TEMPERATURES NEAR -2C ON THURSDAY. MORE CLOUDS EXPECTED ON
THURSDAY AS CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE IN THE 40S SHOULD EASILY BE
REACHED. WILL AGAIN TREND HIGHS ON THURSDAY 1-2 COOLER THAN MAVMOS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP THINGS DRY THROUGH SATURDAY. THEN...ECMWF
AND GFS FAIRLY CONSISTENT ON BRINGING A FRONTAL SYSTEM THROUGH ON
HALLOWEEN AND STALLING THE FRONT NEAR THE OHIO RIVER ON MONDAY.
SO...WILL ADD SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN FOR THE SATURDAY NIGHT TO MONDAY
PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE STARTING OFF SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL UNDER COOL
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BEFORE WARMING DURING THE WEEKEND AHEAD OF
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WITH SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW PROVIDING WARM AIR
ADVECTION. WILL NEED TO INCREASE TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND
TRENDING TOWARD THE WARMER 12Z HPC NUMBERS.

&&

.AVIATION /261200Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

SHARP COLD FRONT CURRENTLY PUSHING EAST ACROSS ILLINOIS...WITH A
LINE OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH IT. COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO PASS
OVER THE TAF SITES 261400Z-261700Z. ELEVATED AND SOME SURFACE
BASED INSTABILITY AHEAD OF FEATURE...ALONG WITH LARGE SCALE LIFT
ASSOCIATED WITH APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH SUGGESTS LINE SHOULD HOLD
TOGETHER AS IT MOVES THROUGH. HIGHEST CONVECTIVE THREAT APPEARS
TO BE WITH THIS LINE...ALTHOUGH POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SCATTERED
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF LINE AS WELL. BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS PROBABLE WITHIN THE HEAVIER CELLS.

MODEL WIND DATA SUGGEST SURFACE WIND GUSTS 40-45 KTS PROBABLE FOR
A COUPLE HOURS EITHER SIDE OF FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH HIGHER GUSTS
POSSIBLE IN THE CONVECTIVE LINE. WIND SHIFT WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE
SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANT..WITH WINDS 170-190 HEADINGS VEERING SHARPLY
TO 230-250 HEADINGS AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE.

DOWNWARD MOTIONS QUITE STRONG IN THE WAKE OF FRONT...SO EXPECTING
CEILINGS TO SCATTER OUT DURING THE AFTERNOON. SURFACE WIND GUSTS
30-40KTS FROM 230-250 HEADINGS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON.
