The radar

The Louisville radar (KLVX), 90 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 17:23 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.

What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Oct 7, 1:23 PM EDT	HAIL 0.75	Williams, IN	WINDS WERE ALSO ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 MPH AT THE DAM.

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 12:00Z, 5.4 hours before the alert went out and 218 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Oct 7, 10:28 AM EDT, 2 hours 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 7, 10:28 AM EDT, 2 hours 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1028 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 317 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014

WAVES IN THE UPPER FLOW WILL ROTATE AROUND AN UPPER TROUGH AND BRING
RAIN TO CENTRAL INDIANA TODAY. AFTER A BRIEF BREAK WEDNESDAY...RAIN
CHANCES WILL RETURN THURSDAY AND PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MEANDERS ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

ISSUED AT 932 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014

UPDATE...
CURRENT RADAR MOSAIC SUPPORTS FORECAST TREND...SO NO CHANGES.
THERE WAS A BIT OF A LULL IN PRECIP AFTER 12Z...BUT ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IS MOVING INTO THE WESTERN
COUNTIES AT THIS TIME. SO...LIKELY POPS STILL SEEM NECESSARY FOR
THE REST OF THIS MORNING. ACTIVITY IS STILL EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF
FROM WEST TO EAST THIS AFTERNOON WITH LOSS OF UPPER FORCING.
CURRENT TEMPS ACROSS THE AREA ARE IN THE MID 50S WITH SOUTHERLY
WINDS OF 5 TO 10 MPH.  UPDATED GRIDS HAVE BEEN SENT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER IMPULSE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATER THIS MORNING INTO THIS
AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH AN UPPER JET AND A 40KT LOW LEVEL JET. THE
COMBINATION OF THESE FEATURES WILL PROVIDE DECENT FORCING AND BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN TO THE AREA BY MID MORNING.

WENT LIKELY POPS ALL AREAS BY 15Z. LOWERED POPS GRADUALLY FROM WEST
TO EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AS FORCING SHIFTS EAST WITH THE UPPER
WAVE.

THERE IS GOOD SHEAR ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...BUT INSTABILITY WILL BE
WEAK. WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALL AREAS
TODAY. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA IN A SEE TEXT MENTION OF LOW POTENTIAL OF SEVERE
STORMS.

WILL KEEP MENTION OF STRONG STORMS SOUTH TODAY IN THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK. LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCES FOR STRONG STORMS WILL BE
IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN INSTABILITY WILL BE THE HIGHEST.

MOS LOOKS TOO WARM TODAY GIVEN EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND RAIN. WENT
WITH A BLEND OF RAW MODEL TEMPERATURES FOR HIGHS.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
ISSUED AT 317 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014

FOCUS IS ON CHANCES FOR RAIN DURING THE PERIOD. MODELS ARE CLOSE
ENOUGH THAT A BLEND WAS USED FOR MOST OF THE TIME.

LOOKS LIKE FORCING WILL BE JUST FAR ENOUGH EAST BY 00Z TO GO DRY ALL
AREAS. MAV MOS LOOKS REASONABLE FOR LOWS WITH A DECREASE IN CLOUDS
EXPECTED.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE A BREAK IN THE RAINFALL ON WEDNESDAY. MAV
MOS JUST LOOKS TOO WARM GIVEN SOME COOLER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THE
EXITING SYSTEM. WENT CLOSER TO MET MOS FOR HIGHS.

SOME WEAK LIFT WILL BEGIN LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS WARM ADVECTION
BEGINS ALOFT ACROSS A FRONT TO OUR SOUTH. WENT LOW POPS FAR WEST
AFTER 06Z.

MODELS HAVE SLOWED DOWN ARRIVAL OF BEST FORCING ON THURSDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS WELL WEST OF THE AREA. LOWERED POPS BACK TO CHANCE
CATEGORY MOST AREAS AND TIMED HIGHEST POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON.
WENT COOLER THAN MAV MOS ONCE AGAIN FOR HIGHS GIVEN EXPECTED CLOUD
COVER AND POSSIBLY SOME RAIN.

THURSDAY NIGHT WENT LIKELY POPS SOUTH HALF AS A SURFACE LOW RIDES
ALONG THE FRONT TO OUR SOUTHWEST. WENT CHANCE POPS NORTH WITH WEAKER
FORCING THERE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

ISSUED AT 345 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014

THE MAIN DIFFICULTY WITH THE EXTENDED REVOLVES AROUND MODEL
DIFFERENCES REGARDING THE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF DEVELOPING UPPER
PLAINS TROUGH. AT ANY RATE...STRONGER ECMWF AND ITS ENSEMBLE ARE
FAVORED WITH MORE SUPPORT THAN THE GFS. FRONTAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE
SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER FRIDAY MORNING ONLY TO RETURN NORTH WITH THE
AMPLIFYING TROUGH RESULTING IN FAST UPPER SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE
AREA. MEANWHILE...MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF SIMON POOLED IN THE
VICINITY OF THE FRONT COULD RESULT IN SOME HIGH QPF AMOUNTS.
HOWEVER...EXACT LOCATION AND TIMING A LITTLE PREMATURE TO PINPOINT.
SO...SHOWER CHANCES LOOK GOOD FOR MOST PERIODS EXCEPT PERHAPS FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES...FURTHER AWAY FROM
THE FRONT BEFORE IT RETURNS NORTH.

WITH MODEL DIFFERENCES...WILL ACCEPT REGIONAL BLEND TEMPERATURES
WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 60S. 70S ARE EVEN POSSIBLE SOUTH
EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE
40S LOOK GOOD EXCEPT PERHAPS LOWER 50S BY SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 07/1500Z TAF UPDATE/...

ISSUED AT 1021 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014

UPDATE...
NO FLIGHT CATEGORY CHANGES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
RADAR AND 07Z HIGH RESOLUTION RAPID REFRESH SUGGEST MVFR SHOWERS
WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE TERMINALS THIS MORNING AFTER 12Z
SCATTERING AFTER 17Z ACROSS THE WESTERN TERMINALS AND 18Z ACROSS THE
EASTERN ONES. THEN...INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE ALLOWING A FEW STORMS
TO DEVELOP...BUT ACTIVITY NOT EXPECTED TO BE ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING
MORE THAN VCTS AND VFR. EVEN THAT THREAT WILL BE OVER LATE
AFTERNOON. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR WITH ONLY CIRRUS OVERNIGHT AND PERHAPS
SOME FOG AT THE SMALLER AIRPORTS.

SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 20
KNOTS AND SWITCH TO THE WEST BY AFTERNOON BEHIND AN OCCLUDED FRONT.
WINDS WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH AFTER DARK TO 6 KNOTS OR LESS.
