The radar

The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 124 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:49 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.

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.

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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1052 AM EDT SAT JUL 26 2014

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION TODAY
AS A FRONT APPROACHES. THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN IN THE REGION
THROUGH TONIGHT KEEPING THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
AROUND. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 80S IN
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN TO THE UPPER 80S NEAR THE OHIO RIVER. LOW
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S IN SOUTHERN
MICHIGAN TO THE LOWER 70S ALONG THE OHIO RIVER.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 306 PM EDT SAT JUL 26 2014

ISO-SCT ELEVATED CONVECTION STARTING TO BUBBLE UP ACROSS THE AREA

REGIME ON EASTERN FRINGE OF IMPRESSIVE EML (AMID 50 KNOTS OF DEEP
LAYER SHEAR) HINTS AT AN ISOLATED LARGE HAIL RISK...WITH A LESSER
WIND THREAT INITIALLY PER PRONOUNCED ML/SB CIN.

ATTENTION FOR THIS EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT WILL TURN TO
POSSIBLE UPSCALE GROWTH/ORGANIZATION OF A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX FCST TO
FORWARD PROPAGATE EWD INTO THE NORTHERN OH VALLEY. SCATTERED
MULTICELL CONVECTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO FORM ACROSS NORTHERN MO IN
ADVANCE OF A REMNANT MCV...WITH AMPLE MOISTURE/CAPE AND FLOW ALOFT
FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZATION EAST. WEST-TO-EAST ORIENTATION OF SBCAPE
GRADIENT ACROSS CENTRAL IL TO THE IA/MO BORDER UNDER STRONG WNW FLOW
ALOFT SUGGEST THAT THE BULK THIS CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (SEVERE WINDS)
WILL FOCUS SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF
INDIANA INTO SW OHIO. STILL TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT FOR AREAS SOUTH
OF HWY 30 IN INDIANA WHERE A LOW WIND RISK REMAINS. AS MENTIONED
IN THE PREV DISCUSSION...THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR
BACKBUILDING/TRAILING CONVECTION AND ISOLATED FLOODING OFF OF A
STRATIFORM BUBBLE LATER TONIGHT ACROSS MAINLY THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE FA WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE HWO.

COMPACT/STRONG CIRCULATION NOW OVER FAR SOUTHERN MANITOBA WILL OPEN
SEWD INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST TONIGHT AND INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
TOMORROW. STRONG MID LEVEL PVA/CYCLONIC FLOW WITH 100 METER HEIGHT
FALL CENTROID INTO SRN LOWER MI BY 00Z...AND FAVORABLE LEFT EXIT
JET SUPPORT INTO MAINLY NORTHERN/EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA...WILL
ALLOW A WEAK SFC REFLECTION TO STRENGTHEN A BIT INTO NRN IN/LOWER
MI TOMORROW. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT SCT SHOWERS/STORMS/UNSETTLED
WEATHER ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN/EASTERN ZONES BY LATE
MORNING/AFTERNOON GIVEN SOME DIURNAL RECOVERY...ALTHOUGH LEFTOVER
MOISTURE QUALITY AND CLOUD DEBRIS MAY BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED FOR
WIDESPREAD HVY RAIN/SVR WX. STILL IF SOME HEATING IS REALIZED
STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE ALONG A TRAILING SECONDARY CDFNT GIVEN
STRONG KINEMATICS (BEST CHANCES EAST OF I-69).
