The radar

The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 89 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 07:50 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 nearest sounding before it

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 7.9 hours before the alert went out and 201 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.

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 Aug 3, 3:44 AM EDT, 7 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 3, 3:44 AM EDT, 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
344 AM EDT WED AUG 3 2011

.DISCUSSION...
FEW CHANGES MADE TO OVERALL PACKAGE DUE TO NEAR TERM STG/SVR
CONVECTION.

BROKEN LINE OF STG TO SVR STORMS HAS NOW EXITED THE AREA. LARGE
AREA OF STRATIFORM RAIN AND EMBEDDED STORMS BEHIND THE LINE WILL
SLOWLY SHIFT OUT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. LAST COUPLE OF RADAR
SCANS SHOWS NEW CONVECTION FIRING ACROSS SW PARTS OF THE AREA.
MAIN COLD FRONT STILL IS BACK TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST
AREA...SO CANNOT RULE OUT ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY DEVELOPING OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHC POPS IN FAR NW AND
EITHER LIKELY OR CAT POPS IN PRE 1ST PERIOD. THREAT FOR SEVERE HAS
ESSENTIALLY ENDED SO REMAINDER OF THE WATCH HAS BEEN DROPPED.
CANNOT RULE OUT SOME LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS WITH ANY NEW ACTIVITY BUT
ATMOSPHERE QUITE WORKED OVER FROM PAST SEVERAL HOURS OF CONVECTION.

SKIES SHOULD CLEAR SOMEWHAT DURING THE DAY FROM NW TO SE AS COLD
FRONT SETTLES SE. HAVE MAINTAINED DRY FORECAST AFTER 12Z...BUT
WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR LINGERING PRECIP PRIOR TO FROPA IN SE
SECTIONS. TEMPS WILL BE SOMEWHAT COOLER TODAY WITH DEWPTS STILL ON
THE HIGHER SIDE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. BIT CONCERNED THAT
HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON COULD BE WARMER THAN FORECAST WITH SLOW PUSH
OF COOLER AIR. GIVEN CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING WILL LET THINGS
RIDE.

BEYOND FRIDAY WITH SEVERAL WAVES SET TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.
TIMING AND TRACK OF EACH WAVE AND THEIR INFLUENCE REMAIN IN
QUESTION WITH MODELS SHOWING VARYING SOLUTIONS. WILL MAINTAIN POPS
FRIDAY/FRI NGT AND SUNDAY/SUN NGT BUT DID ADJUST HIGHEST POPS ON
FRIDAY TO AFTERNOON WITH DIURNALLY BEST TIME FRAME. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPS WILL PERSIST UNTIL INTO THE WEEKEND WHEN RATHER PRONOUNCED
FRONT SINKS THROUGH BY THE START OF THE NEW WORK WEEK. HIGHS MAY
ONLY BE AROUND 80 AND VERY COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS.

&&

.AVIATION...
A LINE OF STORMS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA. THE LINE HAD MOVED
THROUGH SBN...BUT LINGERING STORMS BEHIND THE MAIN LINE ARE
POSSIBLE AT SBN VERY EARLY IN THE TAF PERIOD. GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE AT FWA...BUT THE LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATES THE
AIRMASS WAS MORE STABLE OVER NORTHEAST INDIANA. WINDS WILL BECOME
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT WITH A PERIOD OF IFR OR MVFR CIGS
POSSIBLE EARLY. OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS WILL BECOME VFR WITH WINDS
INCREASING DURING THE DAY...AND THEN DIMINISHING TOWARD EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
WATERS PRESENTLY A BIT CHOPPY ACROSS SE LK MI IN WAKE OF 2 ROUNDS
OF CONVECTION. NEW BUOY OFF OF BRIDGMAN MI SHOWING WAVES AROUND 4
FEET. WHILE THEY MAY SUBSIDE SLIGHTLY...COLD FRONT AND SHIFT TO NW
FLOW SHOULD GET THINGS MOVING ONCE AGAIN. WILL CONTINUE WITH SCA
AND EXTEND A FEW HOURS TO 3Z. RIP CURRENT RISK WILL CONTINUE IN
HIGH THROUGH THIS EVENING.

&&

.IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IN...NONE.
MI...NONE.
OH...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR
LMZ043-046.
