What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 13, 8:45 PM EDT	HAIL 0.75	Greensburg, IN

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, 0.0 hours before the alert went out and 147 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
638 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

A COLD FRONT ACROSS WESTERN INDIANA WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS OUR REGION
THIS EVENING AND THEN STALL ACROSS OHIO AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY
TONIGHT. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WEDNESDAY AND THEN TRACK INTO OHIO VALLEY LATE
WEDNESDAY AND ACROSS EASTERN INDIANA AND WESTERN OHIO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.  THIS SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE NUMEROUS SHOWERS FROM MIDDAY
WEDNESDAY WELL INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHEAST SECTIONS.

A STRONG UPPER LOW OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST THURSDAY WILL MOVE INTO
THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY.   THIS WILL RESULT IN VERY COOL TEMPERATURES
AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.  THE UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND
MOVE TO THE EAST SATURDAY.  AN UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
MODERATE ALONG WITH DRIER WEATHER SUNDAY AND MONDAY.  FINALLY AN
APPROACHING WARM FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS BY TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

A COLD FRONT OVER WEST CENTRAL INDIANA WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS OUR
REGION THIS EVENING AND STALL ACROSS OHIO AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY LATE
TONIGHT. THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS EASTERN
SECTIONS THIS EVENING AND WILL END AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES.

SEVERAL MODELS...INDICATE SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE WELL
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT. MAIN QUESTION WILL RAIN CHANCES
LATER TONIGHT AS THERE MAY BE A LULL IN THE SHOWERS LATER TONIGHT AS
AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVES ON TO THE NORTHEAST AND THE NEXT ONE MAY
NOT AFFECT US UNTIL MORNING. AT THE MOMENT WILL MENTION LIKELY POPS
OVER NORTHEAST SECTIONS VERY EARLY TONIGHT AND THEN CHANCE POPS MOST
AREAS THE REST OF TONIGHT.

FAR SOUTHERN SECTIONS MAY SEE HIGHER POPS TOWARDS DAYBREAK AS LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND STARTS TO
TRACK OUR WAY.  IN MOST CASES WENT WITH A MOS BLEND NORTHWEST AND
TRENDED TOWARDS THE WARMER MET NUMBERS SOUTHEAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

MAIN FORECAST ISSUES WILL BE RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD
FOLLOWED BY TEMPERATURES.   LOW PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL TRACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY LATE
WEDNESDAY AND ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF OUR FORECAST
AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. RAIN SHOWERS WILL SPREAD NORTH ACROSS OUR
REGION WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE WELL INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WILL GO
WITH DEFINITE POPS MOST AREAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THERE MAY BE SOME THUNDER OVER SOUTHEAST SECTIONS AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEMS DRAWS SOME WARMER AND MORE UNSTABLE AIR INTO
SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SPC HAS EXTREME SOUTHEAST INDIANA
UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WEDNESDAY. THIS AREA BARELY
BRUSHES OUR FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES.  LATER FORECASTS WILL NEED TO
MONITOR THIS THREAT AND WHETHER TO EXPAND IT INTO OUR REGION.

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ON INTO EASTERN GREAT LAKES
THURSDAY.  MODELS BRING A STRONG UPPER LOW INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST
THURSDAY AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY.  THIS WILL RESULT IN
MOSTLY CHANCE POPS FOR THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM.

TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL BE TRICKY ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST AS THE
NAM PULLS A LOT OF WARM AIR BACK INTO OUR SOUTHEAST WITH THE ARRIVAL
OF THE SURFACE LOW.  OTHER MODELS KEEP THIS WARMER AIR FARTHER EAST
WEDNESDAY.  WILL GO WITH A BLEND MOST AREAS.  OTHERWISE HIGHS WILL
BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S NORTHWEST HALF WEDNESDAY AND ALL
AREAS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  LOWS WILL BE FROM 45 TO 50 WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND 40 TO 45 THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 223 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

THE EXTENDED WILL START UNDER THE INFLUENCE OFF UPPER CYCLONIC FLOW
AROUND THE BASE OF GREAT LAKES UPPER LOW. THIS WILL RESULT IN SHOWER
CHANCES AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. UPPER
RIDGING WILL MOVE IN EARLY NEXT WEEK...HOWEVER SOUTHERLY FLOW
OVERTOP A WARM FRONT ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY MAY BRING MORE RAIN
IN BY MONDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING TO NEAR NORMAL.

REGIONAL BLEND LOOKS GOOD WITH LITTLE CHANGES NEEDED OTHER THAN
MINOR TWEAKS.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 140000Z TAFS/...
ISSUED AT 638 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

COLD FRONT HAS PASSED ALL THE TAF SITES EXCEPT FOR KBMG...WHICH IT
SHOULD DO SHORTLY. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER
SOUTHERN INDIANA ALONG THE FRONT...BUT THESE SHOULD STAY SOUTH OF
THE TAF SITES. CONVECTIVE THREAT APPEARS TO BE DIMINISHING AS THE
INSTABILITY IS BEING PUSHED OFF TO THE EAST. SOME MVFR VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS IN SHOWER ACTIVITY IN THE POST FRONTAL ZONES IS
EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE TAF SITES AT TIMES THROUGH ABOUT 140400Z.

LOWER MVFR CEILINGS 012-015 HAVE BEEN LAGGING BEHIND THE SURFACE
FRONT...BUT SHOULD GRADUALLY OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST
DURING THE EVENING HOURS.

SHORT TERM MODEL DATA SUGGEST ANOTHER AREA OF ORGANIZED LIFT MAY
MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH AFTER ABOUT 140900Z...RESULTING IN
AN ENHANCED RAIN THREAT AFTER THAT TIME.

MAY BE SOME OCCASIONAL SURFACE WIND GUSTS 15-18 KTS FROM 300-320
DEGREES FOR A PERIOD THIS EVENING IN THE IMMEDIATE POST FRONTAL
ZONE...BUT ANY GUSTS SHOULD DROP OFF LATER THIS EVENING.
