The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jun 29, 7:31 PM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 7:31 PM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 731 PM EDT Thu Jun 29 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 723 PM EDT Thu Jun 29 2017 Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected tonight especially over northwest Indiana and southwest Michigan where some locally heavy rainfall could occur. Highs this afternoon will range in the low to mid 80s with increasing humidity. Drier and pleasant weather is expected this weekend. Highs will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday) Issued at 210 PM EDT Thu Jun 29 2017 Water vapor imagery and latest RAP analysis depicting weak disturbance/MCV emanating from previous nocturnal MCS is now moving into northern MO with decent 50-55kt mid level flow. CAMs seem to be keying in on this feature for potential convection over our area late this afternoon thru tonight as it brings convective complex along the W/SW mean cloud bearing wind. KIWX and surrounding radars showing initial development underway this afternoon in advance of this feature. Forecast soundings indicating decent amount of instability to work with over our area tonight as increasing low level moisture will have CAPEs around 1500J/kg. Hodograph becomes linear with time as wind profile becomes more unidirectional resulting in primary severe threat being damaging winds. Strength of flow and forcing will be supportive for strong storms and possible severe with 40-45kt LLJ and effective shear values around 45kts. Frontal wave located over the central plains this afternoon will lift E/NE through the period and eventually bring cold front into the area by Friday afternoon. This will bring potential for another round of storms...especially over the eastern CWA as timing will favor diurnal destabilization of airmass ahead of the front with CAPEs around 2000J/kg. Similar severe threat as wind profile remains unidirectional. && .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 210 PM EDT Thu Jun 29 2017 Lingering chances for precip primarily in the eastern CWA Friday night into Saturday morning as cold front slowly pushes through. Remainder of the weekend looking rather pleasant as weak surface ridging builds into the region providing dry weather and near normal temps. Next week will have a series of weak short waves moving through the northern stream flow across southern Canada while upper level ridging builds over the four corners and along the gulf coast leaving a stalled surface boundary and baroclinic zone in between. This boundary will be the main player for our weather and much uncertainty still remains as to its location and impact. Medium range models currently show boundary a little further south as they carve out a trough along the eastern flank of upper ridge over the mid MS valley pushing surface boundary down into the OH/TN valley. This would trend our area toward a drier forecast and lower precip chances. As expected...plenty of spread amongst the ensemble members so believe it prudent to both keep chance pops going days Mon-Wed but also not go with anything in likely category until better consensus is realized. ECMWF then has upper ridge shifting east toward our area bringing dry and warmer weather by day 7 while GFS still has boundary in the vicinity resulting in continued precip chances. Temperatures through the period will be near seasonal norms with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday Evening) Issued at 723 PM EDT Thu Jun 29 2017 Sctd convection south of KFWA and sw of KSBN have prompted either warnings or sig wx advisories. expect additional activity to develop and move into northern IN later tonight after 03Z. Went mainly with VCTS or tempo TSRA for a couple of hours during the night. Expect MVFR cigs for a portion of Friday morning before trending toward VFR during the aftn. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE.
