The radar

The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 72 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:43 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.

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1230 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

SHOWERS AND A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY. THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL BE IN THE EVENING AND AGAIN
OVERNIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL ARRIVE BY EARLY EVENING NEAR
80 DEGREES. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL EXIST ONCE AGAIN ON
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE THIS SYSTEM EXITS THE AREA BY

EMBEDDED IN THIS SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE FOCUS
FOR SHOWERS/ISO STORMS INTO TOMORROW.

BATCH OF SHOWERS GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 69 (AS OF
19Z) WITH A WEAKER DISTURBANCE WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST OF THIS
AREA BTW 21-23Z...WHILE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL WAVE OVER IA/MO LIFTS
NORTHEAST BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/STORMS INTO THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. HEIGHT FALLS,
INCREASING RIGHT ENTRANCE UPPER JET SUPPORT, ABUNDANT MOISTURE,
AND EXPECTED LOW LEVEL JET RAMP UP SUPPORT GOING LIKELY POPS
THROUGH THE NIGHT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF AN
INCH NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION GIVEN AMPLE MOISTURE (PWATS IN EXCESS
OF 1.5 INCHES AND 850 MB DEWPOINTS 11-13C). CONTINUED TO HIGHLIGHT
THIS LOCALIZED FLOODING CONCERN (STREAMS/CREEKS) IN THE HWO
(HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK). SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED
INTO THIS EVENING GIVEN THE LACK OF INSOLATION AND DESTABILIZATION
SEEN ACROSS THE REGION TODAY.

OF THIS FEATURE WARRANTS CONTINUING WITH LIKELY POPS FOR OCCASIONAL
SHOWERS INTO TOMORROW...WITH LEFTOVER MORNING MCV POSSIBLY KEEPING
SHOWERS/ISO THUNDER GOING THROUGH THE MORNING. PRIMARY COMPOSITE
OUTFLOW WILL LIKELY FORCE DEEPER MOISTURE SOUTH OF THE AREA BY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON...WITH THIS LIKELY PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR DEEP
MOIST (POTENTIALLY SEVERE) CONVECTION ACROSS THE OH VALLEY. SIMILAR
TO TODAY...EXPECT THAT THE LOCAL AREA MAY BE WORKED OVER BY
CLOUDS/SHOWERS TO HELP REDUCE THE SEVERE RISK.
