Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 179 minutes after it went out.

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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 00:00Z, 1.7 hours before the alert went out and 232 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 flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 2, 9:21 PM EDT, 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 9:21 PM EDT, 20 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
921 PM EDT TUE JUL 2 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 919 PM EDT TUE JUL 2 2013

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN OVER THE REGION
WITH PERIODIC SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL WITH LOWS
TONIGHT IN THE LOW 60S AND HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY IN THE UPPER 70S TO
LOWER 80S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM EDT TUE JUL 2 2013

CLUSTER OF MORNING SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH TROUGH AXIS HAS SHIFTED
TO THE NW CORNER OF THE CWA DUE TO STRENGTHENING OF HIGH PRESSURE
ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST. DIURNAL HEATING IN CONJUNCTION WITH
NORTHWARD SHIFT OF OHIO VALLEY LOW HAS RENEWED THE POSSIBILITY FOR
SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW
SHOWERS ARE BEGINNING TO POP UP ON REGIONAL RADAR ALONG THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY/TEMPERATURE GRADIENT DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA.
STRONGER 0-6KM SHEAR OF 30+ KTS IS SPILLING INTO THE EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA WITH THE WESTERN SURGE OF THE ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE. CONTINUED CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT HIGH TEMPERATURES
TO THE LOW TO MID 70S THIS AFTERNOON AND HAS KEPT INSTABILITY FROM
BECOMING OVERLY ROBUST...BUT WEAK TO MODERATE INSTABILITY COMBINED
WITH SUFFICIENT SHEAR COULD RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG TO
SEVERE CELL IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA IN THE VICINITY
OF A SURFACE BOUNDARY LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS MODERATE ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO THE
NORTHEAST OF THE SURFACE LOW...WITH THE GREATEST AREA OF ASCENT OVER
THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CWA. BY THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
WEDNESDAY LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO NEAR DEWPOINT
LEVELS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY FOG
DEVELOPMENT. CURRENTLY THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS LINGERING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT BEST CHANCE FOR
PRECIP APPEARS TO BE TOWARDS THE PEAK HEATING HOURS WHEN DIURNALLY
DRIVEN STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE. STRONGER SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL ALLOW WARMER AIR TO ADVECT INTO THE REGION TOMORROW...WITH HIGHS
TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM EDT TUE JUL 2 2013

MODELS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT EARLY ON WITH LARGE SCALE FEATURES
BUT CONTINUE TO DIFFER IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF SMALLER SCALE
DETAILS AND RESULTING SENSIBLE WEATHER. BLOCKING UPPER LEVEL PATTERN
WILL PERSIST INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. CLOSED LOW
OVER THE MID MS VALLY WILL OPEN UP AND SLOWLY RETROGRADE IN RESPONSE
TO BERMUDA HIGH OVER THE ATLANTIC STRENGTHENING AND EXPANDING
WESTWARD. WHILE THIS WILL SHIFT THE FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER LOW WEST OF OUR AREA...IT WILL HAVE THE UNFORTUNATE SIDE
EFFECT OF ALSO SHIFTING THE FLOW OF GULF MOISTURE CURRENTLY
STREAMING UP ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WESTWARD TOWARD OUR REGION.
THIS IS WHERE MODELS DIVERGE IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT AND MAKE
PINPOINTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR A DRY FCST PROBLEMATIC. TO VARYING
DEGREES MODELS INDICATING FLOW OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE FROM THE GULF
WORKING ITS WAY UP INTO THE REGION AS PATTERN RETROGRADES. BUT
LACKING ANY DISCERNIBLE SFC FEATURE TO AID IN FOCUSING PRECIP
DEVELOPMENT LEAVES MUCH UNCERTAINTY AND LITTLE MODEL AGREEMENT IN
TIMING AND PLACEMENT. WILL THEREFORE RELUCTANTLY LEAVE AT LEAST
SLIGHT CHANCE IN FCST UNTIL MORE DEFINABLE WINDOW OF DRY FCST
PRESENTS ITSELF. NORTHERN STREAM ZONAL FLOW ATTEMPTS TO WORK DOWN
INTO THE REGION BY THE END OF THE FCST PERIOD AND WILL HAVE A SFC
FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING THE AREA AND WITH IT A BETTER CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BRING
MORE HUMID CONDITIONS GOING INTO THE WEEKEND AND WILL HAVE LOWS IN
THE U60S TO NEAR 70 WHILE HIGHS WILL BE GETTING BACK CLOSE TO
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 743 PM EDT TUE JUL 2 2013

ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE THIS EVENING ALONG WITH LIGHT
WINDS AND A FEW BREAKS IN CLOUDS. THIS WILL AID IN LOW CLOUD DECK
EXPANDING OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH POSSIBILITY OF FOG AND DRIZZLE LATE.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH CONVECTION IN CENTRAL INDIANA AS YET ANOTHER
WAVE ROTATES NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT. DECIDED TO NOT INCLUDE PCPN
MENTION WITH LOSS OF HEATING AND SOME STABILIZATION OVERNIGHT BUT
DID ADD DRIZZLE WITH FG. SLOW IMPROVEMENT WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT
MVFR STILL EXPECTED. MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS LATE MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON.
