JALWhat 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 22, 7:00 PM EDT, 4 hours 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 7:00 PM EDT, 4 hours 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 700 PM EDT WED JUN 22 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 236 PM EDT Wed Jun 22 2016 Low pressure will be moving through the area this evening into tonight which will result in a chance for showers and thunderstorms. There is a potential for some widespread severe weather this evening through tonight with damaging wind gusts, heavy rainfall, large hail, and tornadoes all of the threat concerns. The low pressure will then be moving on to the east on Thursday with low rain chances in the morning and then dry in the afternoon. Low temperatures tonight will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s and highs tomorrow will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Thursday) Issued at 200 PM EDT Wed Jun 22 2016 As suspected yda overnight convn and swwd displacement of composite outflw/wmfnt keeping precip at bay acrs the CWA this aftn. Decaying upstream stratiform ovr ne IL may hold on long enough to bring a sprinkle/lt shra to wrn areas yet this aftn hwvr chcs appear minimal.

Ramping ll waa will aide in newd mix of wmfnt twd the highway 24 corridor w/commensurate greatest risk for severe storms btwn 02-07Z generally swwd of a ksbn- kaoh line. Hwvr most concerning is overlap of extreme shear and mod cape which point to an enhanced tornado risk alg and sw of the highway 30 ovr wrn zones mid-lt evening. In addn...nw-se oriented fntl zone in tandem w/protracted window of mid lvl forcing and considerable ll mstr flux ewd of sfc cyclone suggest some substantial rainfall psbl overnight.

Fairly sharp/aggressive ll thermal ridge xpcd to bld ahd of this ftr w/resulting warm temps this weekend into Mon. Aft that repeat dvlpmnt of ern Conus mean troughing and expansive sfc ridging acrs the lakes will bring the prevailing dry/seasonable pattn of the past few weeks back into the area for the remainder of the week as it appears now. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday Evening) Issued at 700 PM EDT Wed Jun 22 2016 KIWX radar indicating band of SHRA with some embedded thunder extending from KFWA back to KSBN and up into southern lake Michigan. They are moving southeastward and expect to be impacting both sites to begin this TAF cycle but still carry VFR cigs/vsbys. Additional storms now beginning to develop in eastern Iowa will become strong to severe as they move into the area after 02Z and drop both sites down to MVFR. Fog potential for the early morning hours as surface low moves over the area and rain exits to the east. Will keep at MVFR for now but potential is there for IFR. && .IWX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE.
