The radar

The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 87 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:34 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Open the radar archive at this moment

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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, 3.5 hours before the alert went out and 208 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, Jun 18, 7:36 PM EDT, 3 hours 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
736 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 311 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETS UP OVER THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES. THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEING AIDED BY VERY WARM
AND HUMID AIRMASS CURRENTLY IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. HIGHS IN
THE LOW TO MID 80S...AND LOWS GENERALLY RANGING BETWEEN THE MID
60S AND LOW 70S CAN BE EXPECTED INTO THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 423 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

MAINLY OUTFLOW DOMINANT QLCS WITH A FEW BOWING SEGMENTS WILL SLOW
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO AREAS ALONG/SOUTH OF HWY 24 IN INDIANA/OHIO
WHERE VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS RESIDES (MLCAPE VALUES NEAR 2500
J/KG)...WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS INTO OUR OHIO
COUNTIES THROUGH 22-23Z. LINE WILL BECOME MORE BROKEN AND ORIENTED
MORE W TO E WITH TIME AS IT BECOMES ALIGNED TO SOUTHERN FRINGE OF
50 KT MID LEVEL JET TRANSLATING EAST INTO LOWER MICHIGAN.
LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY RESULT SOUTH OF HWY 24. AREAS TO THE NORTH
WORKED OVER AND STABLE...ALTHOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS/ISO
THUNDER (NON-SEVERE) IN THE EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT AS
SHORTWAVE/MCV PROPAGATES INTO MICHIGAN.

TOMORROW. HAVE CUT/ADJUSTED POPS ACCORDINGLY.

&&

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 311 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

BROADBRUSH CHANCE POPS REMAIN THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD AS SEVERAL
CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED SHORTWAVES WORK EAST IN FLATTENED WNW
FLOW...WITH CONVECTION/MCV'S LIKELY LATCHING ONTO A QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY. THE RESULT IS A
LOW CONFIDENCE FCST WITH MESOSCALE FEATURES IN LOW AMPLITUDE FLOW
DIFFICULT TO RESOLVE BEYOND 24 HOURS. BEST CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS/STORMS/HVY RAIN STILL APPEARS TO BE FRIDAY AS CORRIDOR OF
WEAK HEIGHT FALLS AND NORTHEAST PUSH OF RICH THETA-E AIR IN ADVANCE
OF A LEAD WAVE EJECTING EAST FROM A NORTHERN ROCKIES/HIGH PLAINS
CLOSED LOW OVERSPREADS. SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE HIGHLY CONDITIONAL
ON STRENGTH OF FLOW ON SOUTHERN FLANK OF POTENTIAL MCV AND TIMING OF
WAVE (DEGREE OF DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION).

LAST SEVERAL MODEL CYCLES HAVE CONTINUED TO TREND DRIER OVER THE
WEEKEND...WITH FRIDAY'S WAVE FORCING COMPOSITE OUTFLOW SOUTH WITH
ANTICYCLONIC FLOW DEVELOPING IN THE LOW LEVELS. WITH THAT SAID STILL
HELD WITH LOW CHC POPS GIVEN RELIANCE/UNCERTAINTY OF FRIDAY'S WAVE
TO SHUNT FRONT WELL SOUTH OF THE LOCAL AREA. A SIMILAR REGIME IS
EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE MORE TROUGHING/DEEPER NW FLOW
FINALLY AMPLIFIES INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
RESULTING IN DRIER/COOLER CONDITIONS. OTHERWISE...ONLY MINOR TWEAKS
MADE TO TEMPS WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPS EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 731 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

DIFFICULT AND UNCERTAIN AVIATION FORECAST. ATMOSPHERE REMAINS
UNSTABLE AND HAS RECOVERED SOMEWHAT THIS AFTERNOON. LINE OF TSRA
HAS DEVELOPED FROM IN/MI WEST TO NORTHERN IL...SOME OF WHICH HAVE
BEEN STRONG WITH ELEVATED INSTABILITY. SATELLITE SHOWS CONVERGING
BOUNDARIES ALONG THIS LINE ENHANCING CONVERGENCE. WITH EXPECTED
LOW LEVEL JET TO CONTINUE RAMPING UP OVERNIGHT EXPECT THIS AREA TO
FILL IN FURTHER AND CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO KSBN AREA.
UNCERTAINY THROUGH THE EVENING WHETHER THIS CONVECTION TRAINS INTO
THE AREA AND IF SO...FOR HOW LONG. HIGH RES GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
STRUGGLE BUT HRRR TRYING TO LATCH ON AND WOULD KEEP CONVECTION
OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE NIGHT. ADDED TEMPO TSRA GROUP TO KSBN
