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 May 11, 6:47 AM EDT, 7 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 11, 6:47 AM EDT, 7 hours 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
647 AM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 413 AM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
TODAY...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN MID MORNING AND EARLY EVENING. SEVERE
WEATHER IS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...ESPECIALLY
OVER EAST AND NORTHEAST INDIANA...NORTHWEST OHIO AND SOUTHEAST
LOWER MICHIGAN. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 80S
EAST TO LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S WEST. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE
TONIGHT AS IT BECOMES COOLER AND LESS HUMID BEHIND A COLD FRONT.
LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE 50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 413 AM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

SEVERE WEATHER AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN THREAT TODAY REMAINS THE
CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. WATER VAPOR THIS MORNING SHOWS
UPPER LOW IN THE DAKOTAS WITH SFC LOW OVER EASTERN SD. OCCLUDED
FRONT STRETCHES TO TRIPLE POINT IN IA WITH QUASI STATIONARY
BOUNDARY EAST THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA AND A TRAILING COLD FRONT
FROM IA INTO TX. REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC SHOWED A LARGE AREA OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST MO INTO SOUTHERN IL EARLY THIS
MORNING.

QUASI STATIONARY BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO LIFT INTO SOUTHERN MI THIS
MORNING AS SOUTH SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW INCREASES. THIS PUTS OUR
AREA IN THE WARM SECTOR TODAY THOUGH EXISTING CLOUD COVER REMAINS
PROBLEMATIC AND CONDITIONAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES THIS
AFTERNOON. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR INCREASES TO AROUND 40 KNOTS BY
AFTERNOON AS MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS SPREAD EAST. SHORT WAVE
RESPONSIBLE FOR MO CONVECTION THIS MORNING EXPECTED TO LIFT
NORTHEAST ACROSS OUR REGION WHILE ASSOCIATED PCPN TO MOVE INTO
SOUTHWEST AREA THIS MORNING. MOST GUIDANCE IN AGREEMENT ON BULK
OF THIS PCPN MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH ABOUT THE WESTERN HALF OF
OUR CWA THIS MORNING WHICH KEEPS SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THERE QUITE
LOW WITH LACK OF ANY HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION. PWAT VALUES
CLOSE TO 1.75 INCHES THOUGH SUPPORTS LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TODAY
WHICH COULD CREATE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES IN AREAS THAT
HAVE SEEN RAIN PAST FEW DAYS.

THE QUESTION THEN FOR THIS AFTERNOON IS WHETHER WE CAN SEE ANY
BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER OVER THE EAST TO ALLOW SOME HEATING AND
DESTABILIZATION FOR STRONGER THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF
MAIN COLD FRONT. NAM12 SOUNDINGS MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH MUCAPES TO
BETWEEN 1 AND 2K J/KG ALONG WITH THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 40 KNOTS.
THIS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE STORMS BUT
AGAIN...CONDITIONAL ON THE CLOUD COVER AND HEATING TO GENERATE THE
INCREASED CAPE VALUES. DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WOULD BE PRIMARY
HAZARDS IF SEVERE WEATHER DOES DEVELOP. HOWEVER...THERE IS SOME
LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR NOTED IN THE SOUNDINGS OVER OUR
NORTHEAST WHICH COUPLED WITH THE STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR COULD AID
IN A FEW STRONGER ROTATING STORMS AND POSSIBILITY OF AN ISOLATED
TORNADO...ASSUMING INSTABILITY MATERIALIZES. SPC HAS INCLUDED THIS
REGION IN A SLIGHT RISK TODAY ALONG WITH A 5 PERCENT PROB FOR
TORNADOES.

BULK OF CONVECTION SHOULD BE INTO NW OHIO BY EARLY EVENING AND
QUICKLY EXITING OUR LOCAL AREA AROUND 00Z/12. SOME HINTS AT A FEW
LINGERING SHOWERS WITH MAIN FRONT AND COLD AIR ADVECTION IN THE
EVENING SO HAVE LEFT A SMALL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
DRIER AIR TO CLEAR THINGS OUT LATE BEFORE WRAP AROUND CLOUDS BEGIN
TO INVADE THE NORTH TOWARD SUNRISE.

&&

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 413 AM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL WORK THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION ON
TUESDAY. STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES UNDER THIS COLD POCKET
ALOFT SHOULD PROVIDE GOOD MOMENTUM TRANSFER FOR 30-35 MPH
GUSTS...WITH POTENTIAL FOR JUST ENOUGH WRAP AROUND MOISTURE TO SPARK
A FEW SHOWERS/SPRINKLES ACROSS FAR NORTHEASTERN ZONES BY LATE
MORNING/AFTERNOON. DRY/MUCH COOLER WITH A BKN/OVC STRATOCU DECK
OTHERWISE TUESDAY.

BUILDING HEIGHTS IN WAKE OF THE UPPER TROUGH WILL ALLOW HIGH
PRESSURE TO BUILD IN FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. TEMPS WILL
GRADUALLY REBOUND BUT REMAIN BELOW NORMAL FOR THE MOST PART THROUGH
THURSDAY. SHOWER/STORM CHANCES AND MILDER TEMPS THEN RETURN FRIDAY
INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS MOISTURE INCREASES ON THE BACKSIDE OF HIGH
PRESSURE AND SEVERAL SHORTWAVES EJECT THROUGH IN DEVELOPING
SOUTHWEST FLOW.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 639 AM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGH IL THIS MORNING. THIS AREA
WILL SLIDE EAST THIS MORNING WITH RAIN MOVING INTO KSBN AROUND
15Z. RAIN SHIELD CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST WHILE MAIN SHORT WAVE
OVER EASTERN ARKANSAS THIS MORNING RACES INTO INDIANA BY
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS NEAR
KFWA PROVIDED ATMOSPHERE CAN SUFFICIENTLY DESTABILIZE. POTENTIAL WIND
GUSTS TO 60 KNOTS POSSIBLE IF STRONGER STORMS DEVELOP. PARTIAL
CLEARING EXPECTED THIS EVENING IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT.
