What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 00:00Z, 0.2 hours before the alert went out and 166 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.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 7:45 PM EDT, 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
745 PM EDT MON APR 8 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 624 PM EDT MON APR 8 2013

WINDS OVER THE WIND ADVISORY AREA HAVE DIMINISHED LATE THIS AFTN AND
THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THIS EVE AS RISE/FALL PRESSURE COUPLET IN
WAKE OF THE LOW SHIFTS NORTH OF OUR CWA AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN. THUS, HAVE CANCELLED THE WIND ADVISORY IN NW PORTION OF CWA A
LITTLE EARLY. WINDS OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN ENHANCING CAA BEHIND THE
FRONT ACROSS NW PORTION OF CWA EARLY THIS EVE AND AS FRONT SAGS
SOUTH THIS EVE EXPECT A MODIFIED VERSION OF THIS MARINE LAYER TO
SPREAD ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA... THUS HAVE LOWERED TEMPS A BIT...
MOST NOTABLY ACROSS NWRN PORTION OF CWA FOR TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 502 PM EDT MON APR 8 2013

THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.LOW PRESSURE EXITING THE
REGION AND THE COMBINATION OF GRADIENT AND MIXING IN ITS WAKE HAS
CREATED A LARGE AREA OF GUSTY WINDS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST THIRD OF THE CWA. ADDITIONALLY MIXING...CLEARING AND
STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE DRIVEN TEMPERATURES RAPIDLY INTO THE
60S AND LOWER 70S.

HAVE REMOVED PRECIP CHANCES FROM ALL BUT THE SOUTH FOR THE CWA
THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. NEXT
SYSTEM TO PRODUCE RAPID CYCLOGENSIS ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
PLAINS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGH WILL ENHANCE THE SOUTHERLY FLOW AND
SHORTWAVE RIDGING OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT. BY
MORNING...FRONT WILL BEGIN TO PUSH NORTH RATHER QUICKLY AND WITH IT
THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES DURING THE DAY
TUESDAY.

TIMING CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE FIELDS
FROM THE NAM AND SREF CONTINUE TO BE OVERDONE AND LEADS TO
SIGNIFICANT DOUBT THAT ABOUT THE INTENSITY AND QPF AMOUNTS.
THEREFORE HAVE KEPT HIGH POP...WITH LOW QPF AMOUNTS. SHOWERS WILL BE
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED IN NATURE...AND EXPECT THAT MORE ORGANIZED
PRECIPITATION AND HEAVIER RAINFALL WILL OCCUR LATER IN THE FORECAST
PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 502 PM EDT MON APR 8 2013

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THE CHALLENGES THIS PERIOD ARE MAINLY
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AND INCLUDE THE TIMING OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS A FRONT BECOMES STATIONARY OVER OR NEAR THE
FORECAST AREA. ALSO...CONCERN FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER
AND FLOODING. PREFER THE MORE SOUTHERN TRACK OF THE SREF WITH HEAVY
PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE OVER THE AREA...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE FCST AREA AS A LARGE ANTICYCLONE PERSISTS OVER NRN
ONTARIO. HAVE 2-3 TOTAL INCHES OF RAIN OVER THIS AREA THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. CAPE VALUES THIS PERIOD SHOULD BE RELATIVELY
LOW...BELOW 1000 J/KG...WITH A TALL SKINNY CAPE PROFILE...SO CURRENT
THINKING IS SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ALONG THE FRONT
WITH SOME ELEVATED STORMS POSSIBLE NORTH OF THE FRONT. WENT WITH A
TIGHT THERMAL GRADIENT FOR TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
AS A REFLECTION OF THE LOCATION OF THE FRONT. FOR THE REST OF THE
PERIOD...MAINLY DRY AND COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH
TEMPERATURES RECOVERING TO NEAR NORMAL BY SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 745 PM EDT MON APR 8 2013

MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG CDFNT DROPPING SE ACROSS NRN INDIANA THIS
AFTN HAS TRIGGERED SCT TSTMS. EXPECT THIS CONVECTION TO STAY JUST
SOUTH OF THE FWA TERMINAL BUT HAVE ADDED VCTS FOR THE EVE HOURS TO
THE TAF. CAA BEHIND THE FRONT ALONG WITH DIMINISHING WINDS SHOULD
RESULT IN SOME STRATUS/FOG FORMING OVERNIGHT. FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
LIFT BACK N-NE AGAIN TUE AS LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OVER THE
PLAINS. THIS SHOULD TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA AND PSBLY TS IN
THE MORNING WITH INCRSG S-SW WINDS IN THE AFTN.
