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 Sep 20, 4:37 PM EDT, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 20, 4:37 PM EDT, 1 hour 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
437 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 428 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PRODUCE
A LIKELIHOOD OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
WILL BRING A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY...WITH CONDITIONS DRYING SUNDAY NIGHT AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY
PARTS OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 428 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS EVENING.
A STRONG UPPER VORT MAX TRACKING ACROSS NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AT THIS
TIME WILL BE THE PRIMARY SYNOPTIC FEATURE OF INTEREST THIS EVENING.
THIS SHORT WAVE HAS AN IMPRESSIVE WATER VAPOR PRESENTATION...WITH A
VERY SHARP UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE DISCONTINUITY. MOST VIGOROUS
CONVECTION AT THE PRESENT TIME HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHEAST
ILLINOIS AND ABOUT TO ENTER FAR WEST CENTRAL PORTIONS OF IWX
FORECAST AREA. DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...WITH 0-3KM SHEAR
VALUES ALSO INCREASING INTO THE 35 TO 40 KNOT RANGE. THIS SHOULD
HELP TO SUSTAIN WIND THREAT INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND
BALANCE COLD POOL STRENGTH. STORMS SHOULD EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO
OUTRUN MOST PRONOUNCED INSTABILITY AXIS ACROSS NORTHEAST
ILLINOIS/NORTHWEST INDIANA WHERE 100 HPA MLCAPES ON THE ORDER OF
750-1500 J/KG ARE EXPECTED. THIS MAY TEND TO DIMINISH STORM
INTENSITY ACROSS EASTERN HALF OR EASTERN THIRD OF THE AREA LATER
THIS EVENING. WHILE DAMAGING WIND IS THE MAIN THREAT...A FEW
INSTANCES OF LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER CORES.
WHILE STRONGEST STORMS MAY TEND TO DIMINISH ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA LATER THIS EVENING...PASSAGE OF PRIMARY UPPER VORT MAX
ACROSS NORTHWEST ILLINOIS LATER TONIGHT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY
SECONDARY LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING AXIS. INSTABILITY SHOULD BE
SOMEWHAT TEMPERED WITH LOSS OF DEEPER SFC BASED INSTABILITY BY
THIS TIME HOWEVER...BUT ENOUGH ELEVATED INSTABILITY SHOULD PERSIST
TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST CHANCE TSRA POPS LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE
EARLY PORTION OF THE OVERNIGHT.
NOT MUCH CHANGE TO FORECAST FOR SUNDAY...WITH ANOTHER STRONG UPPER
VORT MAX DIVING INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES. A TROWAL-LIKE FEATURE
WILL ALSO BE WRAPPING ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND HAVE
KEPT SPIRIT OF PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE
NORTH...AND HAVE JUST ADDED SOME TEMPORAL RESOLUTION TO CAPTURE BEST
FORCING LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON...AND AS DRY SLOT SHIFTS
SOUTH OF THE AREA. SOME ISO THUNDER IS A POSSIBILITY...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST IN ASSOCIATION WITH WEAK TROWAL.
&&
.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 428 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014
A VERY QUIET LONG TERM PERIOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE BECOMING ENTRENCHED
ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD. MONDAY WILL BEGIN ON THE
COOL SIDE WITH SOME GUIDANCE AND MIXING TOOLS SUGGESTING HIGH TEMPS
NOT GETTING OUT OF THE 50S. WITH FULL SUN EXPECTED THINK WE WILL SEE
SUPERADIABATIC LAPSE RATES NEAR SURFACE AIDED BY STILL WARM GROUND OF
LATE SUMMER. HAVE USED SUPERBLEND TO COME UP WITH LOWER 60S NORTH
AND MIDDLE 60S SOUTH. REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD TO SEE A SLOW WARMING
TREND WITH HIGHS EACH DAY A FEW DEGREES WARMER WITH MODERATING AIR
AND RISING HEIGHTS. HIGHS SHOULD RETURN TO THE LOWER 70S BY MID WEEK
AND MIDDLE 70S BY THE END. WITH SUBSIDENCE AND HIGH PRESSURE
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD SHOULD SEE SKIES REMAINING MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH
THE WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 139 PM EDT SAT SEP 20 2014
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN IOWA AND NORTHERN
ILLINOIS...JUST DOWNSTREAM OF A WELL PRONOUNCED UPPER LEVEL WAVE
ACROSS EASTERN IOWA. PRIMARY INSTABILITY AXIS SITUATED ACROSS
NORTHERN ILLINOIS SHOULD SHIFT INTO NORTHWEST AND PORTIONS OF
NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.
SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EXPAND ACROSS NORTHEAST ILLINOIS OVER NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...AND
HAVE INTRODUCED TEMPO TSRA MENTION AT KSBN FROM 21Z TO 00Z.
EASTWARD EXTENT OF INSTABILITY MAY BE MORE QUESTIONABLE FOR
THUNDER BUT GIVEN STRENGTH OF UPPER FORCING...PROSPECTS OF THUNDER
AT KFWA APPEAR TO BE INCREASING FOR THIS EVENING. WITH STILL SOME
LOWER CONFIDENCE HOW INSTABILITY FIELDS WILL EVOLVE THIS
AFTERNOON...HAVE LIMITED THUNDER MENTION TO VCTS THIS EVENING AT
KFWA...BUT WILL CERTAINLY NEED TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE INCLUSION.
SECONDARY UPPER WAVE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST TO DROP INTO THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES OVERNIGHT KEEPING THE PROSPECTS OF SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS GOING. WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST
EXPECTED EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH WEST
WINDS BECOMING MORE GUSTY IN NATURE TOWARD THE END OF THIS FORECAST
VALID PERIOD.
