The radar

The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 83 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:01 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Open the radar archive at this moment

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 severe thunderstorm 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 watch it was issued in

The SPC watch in force over the same counties when this warning went out.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 15, 2:55 PM EDT, 5 minutes earlier.

SHORTENED DISCUSSION DUE TO CONVECTIVE THREAT.

PRE FRONTAL TROUGH HAS FIRED NOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
AREA WITH A FEW WARNINGS BEING ISSUED ON THE STRONGER STORMS. EXPECT
THIS TREND TO CONTINUE WITH POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL AS
LOCAL MICROBURSTS WITH THE LARGER CORES. STILL AWAITING CONVECTION
TO FIRE BACK ALONG THE ACTUAL FRONT. STORMS LAST NIGHT ON THE FRONT
BACK ACROSS IOWA WERE SLOW TO GET GOING...WAITING TILL TOWARDS LATE
AFTERNOON. HAVE KEPT GRIDS GENERALLY INTACT WITH LIKELY POPS ALL
AREAS THROUGH 00Z AND THEN SE THROUGH 4Z. STORMS COULD LINGER INTO

RATHER HOT AS 850 MB TEMPS DON'T BUDGE A WHOLE LOT. HIGHS ARE STILL
EXPECTED IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90...WITH THE MAIN DIFFERENCE
BEING DEWPTS DOWN IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. MOISTURE WILL START TO
CREEP BACK IN FRIDAY NIGHT WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS REACHING THE MID TO
UPPER 60S.
