The radar

The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 38 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 05:56 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 1:55 AM EDT, 0 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
155 AM EDT SAT JUN 1 2013

.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
SUNDAY LEADING TO DRY CONDITIONS AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR
THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1115 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

ACTIVE EVENING WILL EXPAND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED BY TORNADO WATCH THROUGH MUCH
OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LARGE BOW ECHO MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL
ILLINOIS WAS RACING ENE INTO INDIANA. A LARGE AREA OF RAINFALL
WILL OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT IN ADDITION TO
THE ONGOING CONVECTION FROM HILLSDALE TO COLUMBIA CITY TO
LOGANSPORT. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS LINE WILL CONTINUE
WITH LLJ RAMPING UP AND ADDITIONAL MOISTURE AND LIFT ARRIVING.
COMMA HEAD OF THE BOW ECHO WILL IMPACT MUCH OF THE NEW WATCH AREA
WITH THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND AND MAYBE A WEAK TORNADO. FOR
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...CHECK OUT THE SPC WATCH PRODUCT FOR THE AREA.
POTENTIALLY LARGER THREAT OVER THE AREA INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
WILL LIKELY BE FLOODING WITH SOME LOCATIONS ALREADY SEEING BETWEEN
1 AND 4 INCHES OF RAIN. MAY NEED TO CONSIDER FLOOD WATCH INTO
TOMORROW NIGHT BUT FOR NOW WILL HANDLE WITH SHORT FUSE
WARNINGS/ADVISORIES.

FORECAST UPDATES COMING SHORTLY...MAINLY TO INCREASE TO CAT POPS
IN SOUTHERN AREAS WITH MENTION OF SVR AND HEAVY RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM EDT FRI MAY 31 2013

UNSETTLED/WET PATTERN WILL PERSIST THIS PERIOD WITH WARM MOIST
CONVEYOR BELT REMAINING IN PLACE WITHIN CYCLONICALLY CURVED DEEP
SOUTHWEST FLOW FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS NORTHEAST INTO THE MID MS
VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES. CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED/INDUCED SHORTWAVES
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.

VERTICALLY STACKED CLOSED LOW OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL OPEN
EASTWARD TOWARD THE UPPER MIDWEST AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES LATER
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...WITH ATTENDANT SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT REACHING
NORTHERN ILLINOIS BY 21-00Z. SUFFICIENT LIFT/MOISTURE IN ADVANCE
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.
