What forecasters said that day

NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 26, 3:02 PM EDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 26, 3:02 PM EDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
302 PM EDT TUE MAY 26 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 358 AM EDT TUE MAY 26 2015

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL LIFT NORTHEAST TODAY...AND WILL
BRING A GOOD CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
MORE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY DRY
CONDITIONS THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH HIGHS WARMING INTO THE MID
80S BY FRIDAY. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN THIS WEEKEND WITH
COOLER TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 302 PM EDT TUE MAY 26 2015

MUCH OF PRIOR UPDATE DISCUSSION REMAINS VALID. BREAK IN CLOUDS
ACROSS OUR EASTERN CWA EARLIER TODAY ALLOWED FOR MODEST
DESTABILIZATION WITH CURRENT SPC/RAP MESOANALYSIS INDICATING
AROUND 1000 J/KG OF SBCAPE. MULTIPLE LINES OF CONVECTION HAVE
DEVELOPED ACROSS INDIANA/ILLINOIS BUT MAIN THREAT WILL BE WITH THE
CLUSTER OF STORMS OVER CENTRAL INDIANA AS THEY MOVE
NORTHEAST...ALONG WITH ANY OTHER STORMS THAT MANAGE TO DEVELOP
AHEAD OF IT. INSTABILITY IS MARGINAL BUT DECENT SHEAR...ESPECIALLY
IN THE 0-3 KM LAYER WILL PRESENT A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH ANY
CLUSTERS THAT MANAGE TO DEVELOP MORE SIGNIFICANT UPDRAFTS. STILL
THINK THE RISK FOR WIDESPREAD/SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW
BUT A FEW SCT STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE AND AFTER COORDINATION WITH
SPC AND SURROUNDING OFFICES DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A WATCH.
IT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM BUT WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO TRIM/CANCEL
A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN THAT.

EXPECT PRECIP TO EXIT BY LATE EVENING AND ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO
THE GOING FORECAST FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. ANOTHER ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TOMORROW AFTERNOON IN OUR SOUTHEAST ZONES
BUT SEVERE CHANCES APPEAR LOW GIVEN MARGINAL INSTABILITY AND
SHEAR.

&&

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 302 PM EDT TUE MAY 26 2015

INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY HIGHLIGHT THE
LONG TERM PERIOD.

LITTLE CHANGES MADE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGE IN THE LONG TERM.
BROAD EAST COAST RIDING WILL KEEP ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. SHARP NORTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE WILL DIG E/SE ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO FRIDAY...WITH
DEEPENING SFC CYCLONE NEAR JAMES BAY. THIS WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT
SOUTHEAST FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE RETURN AND
DECENT SFC FORCING...WENT AHEAD AN RAISED POPS TO LIKELY FRIDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. SEVERE CHANCES AT THIS TIME ARE FAIRLY
LOW...WITH UNFAVORABLE DIURNAL TIMING WITH FROPA AND LITTLE UPPER
FLOW/SHEAR DESPITE MARGINAL INSTABILITY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THROUGH THE WEEK FOR ANY CHANGES.

COOLER CONDITIONS WILL SETTLE INTO THE REGION AS AFOREMENTIONED
FRONT SINKS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.
MAINTAINED CONSENSUS BLEND CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY...HOWEVER THIS WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE REFINED FURTHER
IN SUBSEQUENT FORECAST RUNS. LATEST 12Z GFS HINTING AT SFC FRONT
SINKING SOUTH INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY...WITH STRONG CANADIAN SFC
RIDGE SHUNTING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND USHERING IN A
SIGNIFICANTLY DRIER/MORE STABLE AIRMASS. MOISTURE RETURN/WAA REGIME
MAY NOT RETURN TO THE AREA BY TUESDAY...WHICH WOULD MAKE CURRENT
POPS IN THE SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY TIMEFRAME WAY TOO HIGH.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 125 PM EDT TUE MAY 26 2015

FEW CHANGES TO THE GOING TAF FORECAST WITH AFTERNOON CONVECTION
THE MAIN CONCERN. LINE OF SHOWERS CURRENTLY PUSHING INTO WESTERN
INDIANA WITH SOME CONVECTION POPPING UP AHEAD OF IT WHERE MORNING
SUN HAS ALLOWED BETTER INSTABILITY TO BUILD. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY
TO EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS IT INTERSECTS
MODERATELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT OVER NORTHEAST INDIANA AND
NORTHWEST OHIO. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE NEAR
KFWA WITH LOWER CHANCES AT KSBN. BEST CHANCES WILL BE IN THE
20-22Z TIMEFRAME. CONVECTION WILL EXIT THIS EVENING AND EXPECT
PREDOMINATELY VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SOME
LOWER CIGS AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING BUT LATEST FORECAST SOUNDINGS
ARE MUCH DRIER AND MOS GUIDANCE IS NOT AS SUPPORTIVE SO WILL LEAVE
OUT MENTION FOR NOW.
