Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 6 storm reports to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 3 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.

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 Jun 27, 8:22 PM EDT, 0 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 8:22 PM EDT, 0 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
822 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1032 AM EDT THU JUN 27 2013

A SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES CONTINUING THE RAIN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FOR
TODAY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND
NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT AND SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL TOMORROW.

&&

.UPDATE...
UPDATE WILL BE SENT SHORTLY TO REFINE POPS FOR CURRENT TRENDS.
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FOCUSED ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
THE AREA ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PRODUCED EARLY EARLIER
THUNDERSTORM WHICH AFFECTED CASS AND MIAMI COUNTIES. EFFECTIVE
SHEAR DOES DIMINISH WITH EASTWARD EXTENT ACROSS FAR EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...SO LOWER CONFIDENCE EXISTS IN
BETTER STORM ORGANIZATION APPROACHING THE INTERSTATE 69 CORRIDOR.
HAIL/WIND THREAT SHOULD PERSIST ACROSS WESTERN/CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
THE AREA THROUGH ABOUT 03-04Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013

THE MAIN FOCUS THIS PERIOD IS ON CONVECTIVE CHANCES AND SEVERE
THREAT INTO THIS EVENING...

THE LONGWAVE PATTERN THIS AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY WILL CONTINUE TO
UNDERGO AMPLIFICATION ALLOWING AN UPPER LOW AND DEEP LAYERED TROUGH
AXIS TO DROP INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY LATER TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. A
50-60 KT 500 MB JET MAX UNDER THIS FEATURE AND A WESTERN/NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES MID LVL PERTURBATION IS NOW ENTERING NORTHERN IL AS
OF THIS WRITING...AND WILL TRANSLATE SEWD INTO THE LOCAL AREA LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FORCING WITH THIS FEATURE AND
CONTINUED SUBTLE HEIGHT FALLS/COOLING ALOFT OVER A MODERATELY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT (MLCAPE 1500-2000 J/KG) WILL LIKELY SUPPORT
SCT CONVECTION DURING THIS TIME. SPC NOW HAS THE ENTIRE FA IN A
SLIGHT RISK FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS INTO THIS EVENING. TORNADOES
APPEAR UNLIKELY GIVEN LACKING LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND MODESTLY
HIGH LCL'S. INCREASING DEEP LAYER SHEAR TO BETWEEN 35-50 KTS
(HIGHEST ACROSS OUR SOUTHWESTERN ZONES) SHOULD SUPPORT
SUSTAINABLE/ROTATING UPDRAFTS AND POSSIBLE SPLITTING SUPERCELLS
IF/WHERE CELLS FIRE (INITIATION MOST LIKELY ACROSS WI/NORTHERN IL
AND THEN SHIFTING SOUTHEAST)...WITH LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED
DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS.

SHOWERS OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING SHOULD MAINLY FOCUS NORTH OF
THE AREA INVOF A DEEP TROUGH AXIS ACROSS THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES. DAYTIME HEATING/DESTABILIZATION AND STEEPENING
SFC-650 MB LAPSE RATES UNDER THE COLD POOL ALOFT (AHEAD OF THE
TROUGH AXIS) WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE SHOWER/STORM CHANCES BY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. CONVECTION TOMORROW IS EXPECTED TO GENERALLY
REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS GIVEN PROGGED MARGINAL
SHEAR/INSTABILITY...ALTHOUGH DECREASE IN FREEZING LEVELS WITH
COLD CORE ALOFT DROPPING IN HINTS AT THE POTENTIAL FOR NON SEVERE
HAIL WITH CELLS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013

THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD IS QUITE LITERALLY DESCRIBED BY THE
IDIOM...RINSE AND REPEAT. MANY LOCATIONS WILL SEE A BRIEF SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM IN THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING MOST DAYS...ONLY TO HAVE A
LULL DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND A REPEAT THE VERY NEXT DAY.
THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK
AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW SETTLES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND RETROGRADES
INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BEFORE REJOINING THE MEAN FLOW
SOMETIME MID WEEK. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THIS CONTINUES FURTHER
INTO THE WEEK (AS SUGGESTED BY THE ECMWF) SINCE CUT OFF LOWS ARE
NOTORIOUS FOR TAKING THEIR TIME TO MOVE ALONG. THIS COLD POOL
ALOFT...COUPLED WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 60S
AND BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WILL PROVIDE AMPLE INSTABILITY FOR
DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT STORMS TO REMAIN
SUB SEVERE GIVEN WEAK SHEAR...WEAK INSTABILITY...AND MEAGER MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES.

COULD NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE POPS DURING OVERNIGHT PERIOD MOST DAYS
GIVEN LOCATION OF THE UPPER LOW AND CONTINUED FORCING FOR AT LEAST
LIGHT SHOWERS EVEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS. INSTEAD ELECTED TO
REDUCE OVERNIGHT VALUES FROM ALLBLEND INIT TO SHOW TREND FOR BETTER
CHANCES DURING THE DAY AND REDUCED CHANCES AT NIGHT. THE ONLY
EXCEPTION...WHEN OVERNIGHT POPS REMAINED DRY...WAS MONDAY WHEN THE
UPPER LOW WILL BE SOUTH OF THE AREA AND WEDNESDAY WHEN IT HAS LIFTED
NORTHWEST OF THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 744 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013

FAST MOVING UPPER DISTURBANCE HAS INTERACTED WITH INSTABILITY AXIS
AND FAVORABLE EFFECTIVE SHEAR TO ALLOW FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA.THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BUILD SOUTHEAST AND AFFECT THE KFWA
AREA IN THE 01Z TO 03Z TIMEFRAME. SOME POTENTIAL AT KFWA EXISTS
FOR GUSTY WINDS TO 40 MPH AND SOME SMALL HAIL...BUT THE GREATER
THREAT SHOULD REMAIN JUST WEST OF THE TERMINAL FOR HIGHER END
GUSTS. MID TO LATE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ALSO POSSIBLE FRIDAY
WITH SEVERAL WEAK VORTICES ROTATING THROUGH LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW
BUT WILL ALLOW LATER FORECASTS TO ADDRESS CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL
WITH STILL SOME LOWER CONFIDENCE IN COVERAGE AT THIS TIME.
