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 Jun 4, 7:45 PM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 7:45 PM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
745 PM EDT FRI JUN 4 2010

.AVIATION...

DIFFICULT AVIATION FORECAST WITH RESPECT TO CONVECTIVE CHANCES AT
TAF SITES THIS PERIOD. SHORT WAVE PASSING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
GENERATING SCATTERED CONVECTION ALL AROUND THE AREA BUT NO IMMEDIATE
IMPACTS AT TAF LOCATIONS. KFWA LOOKS TO HAVE BEST CHANCE AT TSRA
LATER THIS EVENING BUT EVEN THAT MAY BE A GLANCING BLOW AS RADAR
SHOWS CONVECTION IN NORTHWEST INDIANA SLIDING SOUTHEAST AT CURRENT
TIME. INCLUDED A TEMPO GROUP FOR THIS PASSAGE. MODELS RATHER
AGGRESSIVE WITH DEVELOPING A STRONG MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
UPSTREAM TONIGHT AND RIDING IT EAST INTO OUR AREA SATURDAY. PROBLEM
LIES WITH RATHER POOR HANDLING OF CURRENT CONVECTION TO OUR
SOUTHWEST WHICH APPEARS FURTHER SOUTH THAN MODEL FORECASTS. WILL
KEEP A CB MENTION AT KSBN TOMMORROW AND A VCTS AT KFWA BUT
CONFIDENCE LOW UNTIL WE SEE HOW THINGS DEVELOP UPSTREAM OVERNIGHT.
COULD CERTAINLY BE A PROLONGED WINDOW OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WITH
TSRA AND MVFR TO IFR CIGS WITH THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX BUT LOCATION
REMAINS TOO UNCERTAIN FOR GREATER WX IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...
SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH MULTIPLE WAVES TO IMPACT THE AREA IN THE
SHORT TERM. FIRST ROUND ALREADY INITIATING IN EXTREME SE CWA AS
BOUNDARY LAYER QUICKLY DESTABILIZING. VIS SAT DEPICTING CONVERGENT
BOUNDARY WITH ENHANCED CU FIELD FROM FDY TO AOH TO MIE. MID LEVEL
SUPPORT MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS CENTRAL GREAT LAKES AS WELL WITH KGRR
VWP INDICATING MODEST 50KT SPEED MAX AT 500MB. NORTHWARD PUSH OF SFC
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO CARRY THIS FEATURE JUST NORTH OF THE
CWA RESULTING IN INC LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CONTINUED
DESTABILIZATION...BUT ALSO LEAVING LIMITED FORCING AND FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION THIS EVENING. AS A RESULT...PLAN TO LEAVE POPS IN CHANCE
RANGE FOR TONIGHT AS FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TOWARD ARRIVAL OF NEXT WAVE
RIDING ALONG THE BOUNDARY SATURDAY MORNING. LOW LEVEL FORCING TO
ORGANIZE BACK IN CENTRAL PLAINS OVERNIGHT IN SUPPORT OF NOCTURNAL
MCS DEVELOPMENT AS STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT AIDED BY 50+KT LLJ
NOSES INTO SOUTHERN IA OVERNIGHT. EVOLUTION OF THIS FEATURE TO GO A
LONG WAY IN DETERMINING OUTCOME OF SENSIBLE WEATHER FOR OUR AREA ON
SATURDAY. MODEL INDICATIONS ATTM POINT TOWARD AN EASTWARD
PROPAGATING MCS AS IT RIDES ALONG 850-300MB THICKNESS RIDGE INTO OUR
WESTERN CWA. WILL REWORK MORNING WX GRIDS ACCORDINGLY TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS...BUMPING UP TO LIKELY IN WESTERN HALF. LOW LEVEL FORCING TO
MAINTAIN INTO SATURDAY AS LLJ PUSHES INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS BY 18Z.
THIS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SFC FRONTAL WAVE AND LENDS SUPPORT TO A
REGENERATIVE MCS TYPE PATTERN. COMBINE THIS WITH PW PROGGED TO BE IN
THE 1.5-2.0 INCH RANGE AND POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN CERTAINLY IN
PLAY SATURDAY AFTN/EVENING. TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD APPEAR ON TRACK
AND ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE.

&&

.LONG TERM.../SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

ON SUNDAY SFC LOW WILL BE MOVING AWAY TO THE EAST YET STILL
PULLING COLD FRONT/INVERTED TROUGH BEHIND INTO THE AREA EARLY. 12Z
NAM/9Z SREF FASTEST CLEARING THE CWA WITH 12Z GFS/ECMWF SLOWER AND
MAINTAINING SHRA IN THE EAST EARLY.  WITH MIXED GUIDANCE WILL RETAIN
EARLY SUNDAY CHC POP FOR EASTERN AREAS AFTER WHICH COOLER DRIER AIR
OVERSPREADS THE REGION AS ZONAL FLOW ALOFT BUCKLES SOMEWHAT INTO
MILD TROUGHING OVER THE GREAT LAKES.  NAM12/GFS ALSO TRY TO FIRE
SOME LIGHT SHRA AS WEAK MID LEVEL SHRTWV DROPS THROUGH NW FLOW BUT
GIVEN DRY AIR PERMEATING LOWER LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE DRY GRID
AT THIS TIME.

QUIETER PERIOD THEN APPEARS IN STORE THOUGH SIGNIFICANT MODEL
DIFFERENCES ARE BEGINNING TO APPEAR. OP GFS HOLDS ON TO STRONGER
RIDGING OVER THE PLAINS KEEPING A STEEPER AND COOLER NW FLOW ALOFT
OVER THE REGION...WHILE THE ECMWF REMAINS MORE ZONAL FLOW.  BOTH
DEVELOP MCS ACTIVITY UPSTREAM TUESDAY AND BRING IT EASTWARD...BUT
THE MORE AMPLIFIED GFS ROLLS THIS ACTIVITY SOUTH OF THE CWA. AGAIN
CHC POPS ARE REASONABLE THOUGH IF CURRENT GFS/GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN
TIMING REMAINS CONSISTENT A FORWARD ADJUSTMENT IN TIME COULD BE
NEEDED.. LATE PERIOD GFS THEN PROGRESSES ITS EARLIER AMPLIFICATION
DOWNSTREAM WHILE THE ECMWF INTENSIFIES RIDGE CENTERED ALONG GULF
COAST.  IN BOTH CASES THIS FORESHADOWS A WARMING TREND THOUGH WITH
THE MED RANGE MODELS DIFFERING IN THE MECHANISM WILL REMAIN
CONSERVATIVE WITH LATE PD TEMPS INCREASING INTO THE LOW 80S&&

.AVIATION...
AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER IA/WI MOVG EAST INTO DRIER
AIR AND WKNG. SOME POSSIBILITY THAT TSTMS WILL DVLP ALONG OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY WELL AHEAD OF MN/IA CDFNT AND AFFECT NRN INDIANA THIS
AFTN AS FCST BY 00Z 4KM NMM-WRF, BUT GIVEN LACK OF EVIDENCE OF
THIS FEATURE ATTM AND QUESTION IF MOISTURE/INSTABILITY WILL RETURN
TO OUR AREA QUICKLY ENOUGH FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THIS AFTN
EVEN IF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY DOES MATERIALIZE, BELIEVE BETTER CHC
LIES CLOSER TO FRONT MOVG INTO THE AREA TONIGHT... THUS PUSHED
