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.

NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 12, 1:37 PM EDT, 2 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 1:37 PM EDT, 2 hours 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
137 PM EDT FRI JUN 12 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT FRI JUN 12 2015

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY EXPAND
EASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA. A FEW OF THESE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE DURING THE
AFTERNOON WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL
THE MAIN CONCERNS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 80S WITH LOWS
TONIGHT IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT
AND INTO TOMORROW.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1117 AM EDT FRI JUN 12 2015

AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS WAS MOVG ACROSS OUR CWA LATE THIS
MORNING AHEAD OF SFC CDFNT WHICH EXTENDED FROM SW MI-SE IA. THIS
PRECIP SHOULD LIMIT DESTABILIZATION ACROSS NWRN PORTION OF CWA
AHEAD OF THE CDFNT. MAIN THREAT FOR SVR STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL APPEARS
TO BE ACROSS THE SE 1/2 THIS AFTN. MINOR CHANGES MADE TO WX GRIDS
AND TEMPS TO REFLECT THESE ONGOING TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT FRI JUN 12 2015

WITHERING CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH FGEN/ISENTROPIC ASCENT IN
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF SEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET
CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST THIS MORNING. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY
TO STRUGGLE OUTSIDE OF OUR FAR NORTHWEST ZONES THROUGH THE MORNING
GIVEN BETTER FORCING AND LLJ/MOISTURE CONVERGENCE/MUCAPE ARE STILL
DISPLACED JUST TO OUR WEST. THAT WILL CHANGE BY LATER TODAY AS
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AND PARENT SHORTWAVE MOVE OVER THE SOUTHERN
GREAT LAKES. ADEQUATE SYNOPTIC FORCING IN A VERY MOIST AND AT
LEAST MODERATELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT SHOULD LEAD TO MOST AREAS
SEEING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AT SOME POINT TODAY. QUESTION
REMAINS EXACT TIMING/EVOLUTION AND SEVERE CHANCES.

HI-RES MODELS ARE SPLIT ON HOW ROBUST THIS PREFRONTAL CONVECTION
WILL BE. HRRR AND RAP SUGGEST LITTLE MORE THAN SCT SHOWERS THROUGH
THE MORNING WITH MAIN ACTIVITY CONFINED TO THE AFTERNOON FRONTAL
PASSAGE. WRF-NMM INDICATES INITIAL LINE WILL BE MUCH MORE
ACTIVE...CAPITALIZING ON SOME DIURNAL RECOVERY BY 15Z IN OUR
SOUTHEAST HALF. TRUTH IS LIKELY SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. EXPECT SCT
CONVECTION TO STEADILY CHURN E/SE THROUGH MIDDAY BUT BEST CHANCES
FOR STRONGER/MORE ORGANIZED STORMS WILL BE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH MAIN FRONTAL PASSAGE. AS ALWAYS...EARLY DAY PRECIP
MAKES SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES NEBULOUS. EXCELLENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
ADVECTION WILL MAKE CLOUD COVER/SOLAR HEATING LESS CONSEQUENTIAL
WITH LOWER 70S DEWPOINTS STILL GENERATING 1000-1500 J/KG OF MLCAPE
BUT PREFRONTAL CONVECTION COULD STILL THROW A LARGE MONKEY WRENCH
INTO THE WORKS. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS AROUND 30 KTS (HIGHEST IN OUR
NORTHERN CWA) SO ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS ARE POSSIBLE. WIND PROFILE IS
FAIRLY UNIDIRECTIONAL SO STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND BOWING SEGMENTS ARE
THE PRIMARY CONCERN...THOUGH SOME HAIL IS POSSIBLE IF ENOUGH
INSTABILITY MANAGES TO BUILD. ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY THERE IS
DEFINITELY A CONDITIONAL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR CONVECTIVE AND OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS
THROUGH THE MORNING BEFORE NAILING DOWN MORE SPECIFICS. ALSO A HEAVY
RAIN THREAT GIVEN PW VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES AND STORM MOTION NEARLY
PARALLEL TO FRONTAL BOUNDARY. LOCALIZED FLOODING CERTAINLY POSSIBLE
BUT CONFIDENCE IN WIDESPREAD THREAT IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR WATCH
ISSUANCE. WILL JUST CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL IN
HWO AND GRIDS.

THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DISSIPATE/SHIFT SOUTHEAST BY LATE EVENING AND
EXPECT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS AFTER 06Z. HIGHS TODAY WILL GENERALLY
BE IN THE LOW TO MID 80S BUT ANY PEAKS OF SUN WILL MAKE UPPER 80S
EASILY ATTAINABLE. POSTFRONTAL OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE MUCH MORE
COMFORTABLE THAN PRESENT VALUES...UPPER 50S NORTHWEST TO MID 60S
SOUTHEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT FRI JUN 12 2015

NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO LONG TERM PERIOD AS OSCILLATING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY STILL EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION. MODELS REMAIN IN RATHER
GOOD AGREEMENT SYNOPTICALLY FOR THIS PATTERN BUT A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY WITH THE DETAILS AND CONVECTIVE TRENDS.

BOUNDARY WILL BE SINKING SOUTH ON SATURDAY BUT REMAINING CLOSE
ENOUGH TO SOUTH FOR LOW CHANCE POPS AS EXACT LOCATION YET TO BE
DETERMINED. RESIDUAL CLOUDS AND LIGHT SHOWERS POSSIBLE NORTH OF
FRONT. BOUNDARY BEGINS TO COME BACK NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
WITH INCREASING CONVECTIVE CHANCES ONCE AGAIN. PLENTY OF MOISTURE
FLUX AND INSTABILITY PRESENT SO WILL NOT TAKE MUCH FOR PERIODIC SHRA
AND TSRA THROUGH MONDAY. FRONT LOOKS TO SAG SOUTH OF AREA ONCE AGAIN
TOWARD TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SKIRTS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND
TRIES TO DRY US OUT FOR A DAY. WILL STILL CARRY A LOW POP WITH
UNCERTAINTY IN LOCATION. LIKE A BROKEN RECORD...FRONT WILL BEGIN TO
COME BACK NORTH TUE NIGHT INTO WED WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION
POSSIBLE THROUGH END OF PERIOD. EPISODIC ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER
REMAIN POSSIBLE DEPENDING ON TIMING OF FRONT AND STRONGER
KINEMATICS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS POSSIBLE AS WELL WITH
PWATS AROUND 2 INCHES.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 127 PM EDT FRI JUN 12 2015

WK CDFNT EXTENDS ACROSS SW MI/NE IL THIS AFTN. A LINE OF TSTMS HAS
FORMED ALONG PRE-FRONTAL TROF OVER NE INDIANA AND NW OHIO AND
MOVED THROUGH FWA BTWN 16-17Z. MAY BE SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION
AT FWA FOR TSTMS TO REDEVELOP ALONG CDFNT AS IT SAGS SE THIS AFTN
SO LEFT IN TEMPO TSRA BUT LIMITED TO JUST SHRA AT SBN. STRATUS/FOG
FAIRLY EXTENSIVE ALONG/BEHIND THE FRONT AND SHOULD IMPACT SBN THIS
AFTN THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING AND FWA THIS EVE THROUGH SAT
MORNING WITH MIXING PROBABLY ALLOWING CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO
VFR BY MIDDAY.
