Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 10.5 hours before the alert went out and 167 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 flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Aug 22, 4:46 AM EDT, 1 hour 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 4:46 AM EDT, 1 hour 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
446 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 310 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG A STALLED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS THE REGION WILL RESULT IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. WITH DAYTIME HEATING... THERE
IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON AND
LINGERING INTO TONIGHT. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MID 80S WITH
LOWS TONIGHT IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 434 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014

...INCREASED FLASH FLOOD THREAT IN LOCALIZED AREAS NEXT 3 TO 6
HOURS...

MAIN FOCUS OF FORECAST WILL BE ON NEAR TERM WITH EXPANDING AREA OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IMPACTING PORTIONS OF NORTHERN INDIANA
WITH POTENTIAL TO SPREAD INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN LOWER MI AND NW
OHIO. BAND OF SLOW MOVING SHOWERS/STORMS WAS LOCATED FROM THE
CHICAGO SUBURBS INTO NW INDIANA SOUTHEAST INTO PORTIONS OF WEST
CENTRAL OHIO. LOTS OF BACKBUILDING HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITH CORFIDI
VECTORS SHOWING ONLY SLOW ESE MOVEMENT. HIGH RES MODELS EARLIER THIS
EVENING KEYED IN ON THIS AND ARE COMING TO FRUITION. EXPECTED THIS
TO CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z WITH A DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS
MODELS SUGGEST 30 KT LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND WEAK
MID/UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES
EXITS. DISCUSSION HAS TAKEN PLACE REGARDING THE NEED FOR A
FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD WATCH. HEAVIEST POCKETS OF RAINFALL HAVE BEEN
CONFINED TO NARROW BANDS BUT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE SAME AREAS
IMPACTED YESTERDAY. GIVEN EVENT IS ONGOING...SEE NO MAJOR VALUE IN
HOISTING A WATCH WHEN POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR LITTLE OR NO ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL IN MANY AREAS UNTIL MAYBE TONIGHT. EVEN THIS SCENARIO IS
UNCERTAIN WITH MANY QUESTIONS AS TO WHERE THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL
LIE AFTER BEING MODULATED SOUTHWARD FROM ONGOING CONVECTION. SPC 4KM
WRF 00Z ACTUALLY HAD A DECENT HANDLE ON CURRENT SETUP AND PUSHES
FRONT WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA. OTHER MODELS VARY FROM ADDITIONAL RAIN
LATER TODAY/TONIGHT TO NOTHING. WILL DEFER ANY WATCHES TO DAY SHIFT
AND HANDLE IMMEDIATE CONCERNS WITH ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS AS NEEDED.

WITH THE ABOVE CONCERNS...POPS HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE SLGT CHC TO CHC
RANGE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF
CLOUD COVER REMAINING IN THE WAKE OF CURRENT CONVECTION. BEHIND ALL
THE CONVECTION A LOT OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WAS NOTED ACROSS NW
ILLINOIS AND EASTERN IOWA THAT COULD POSE AN ISSUE DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 434 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014

UPR LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE MS VALLEY THIS MORNING EXPECTED TO EXPAND
NORTHWARD AND SHIFT EAST INTO THE WRN GRTLKS/LWR OH VALLEY ON SATURDAY.
ROUGHLY E-W ORIENTED SFC BOUNDARY WHICH HAS LINGERED OVER THE AREA
IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTH INTO THE OH VALLEY BY SATURDAY AS WK
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE UPR MIDWEST DIMINISHES AND A NEW STRONGER
LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO GRDLY LESS
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR CONVECTION IN OUR AREA OVER THE WEEKEND
DESPITE CONSIDERABLE DIURNAL INSTABILITY. TEMPS SHOULD RESPOND TO
APCHG UPR RIDGE... RISING INTO THE U80S/L90S OVER SWRN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA AND M-U80S NE OVER THE WEEKEND.

RIDGE AXIS WILL PIVOT TO AN OH VALLEY TO NEW ENGLAND LINE BY MONDAY
AS A STRONG SHRTWV EJECTS FROM THE ROCKIES TO ONTARIO... RESULTING
IN CONTD ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS/HUMIDITY ACROSS OUR AREA. TRAILING CDFNT
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD SAG INTO OUR AREA BY TUE BRINGING
A RENEWED TSTM POTENTIAL. FRONT WILL LIKELY STALL OVER THE AREA AS
IT ENCOUNTERS THE STRONG RIDGE IN PLACE... WITH A SECOND SHRTWV MOVG
EAST ACROSS THE GRTLKS WED-THU PUSHING THE FRONT SOUTH OF THE AREA
BY THE END OF THE PERIOD AND ALLOWING TEMPS TO FALL BACK TO NORMAL
OR SLIGHTLY BLO BY THAT TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT) ISSUED
AT 130 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014

STORMY 3 TO 6 HOUR PERIOD LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR AT LEAST KSBN
AND LIKELY KFWA (JUST DELAYED AN HOUR OR 2) AS CONVECTION
CONTINUES TO EXPAND ACROSS FAR WESTERN INDIANA BACK INTO NORTHERN
ILLINOIS. A DEVELOPING LINE OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL DRIFT EAST AND
IMPACT KSBN AROUND 7Z. A LARGER CLUSTER OF STORMS WAS LOCATED WEST
OF KJOT AND WORKING EAST AND SOMEWHAT SE. THIS MAY AFFECT KSBN BUT
THINK IMPACTS ON FWA COULD BE GREATER. HAVE HANDLED WITH TEMPO
GROUPS FOR NOW AND WILL MONITOR COVERAGE.

ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD DEVELOP JUST ABOUT ANY TIME THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD BUT WILL LEAVE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS OUT FOR NOW.
