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 Sep 4, 4:02 PM EDT, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 4, 4:02 PM EDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 402 PM EDT Mon Sep 4 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 336 PM EDT Mon Sep 4 2017 Severe weather is possible across much of the forecast area late this afternoon and evening. A line of storms from south central Lower Michigan extending southeast into central Illinois will track southeast through the region. Isolated damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat with some large hail also possible. Much cooler conditions are expected for the middle of the week, along for chances of showers, Wednesday into Thursday. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday) Issued at 324 PM EDT Mon Sep 4 2017 Little change with respect to severe storm potential. Convection beginning to initiate across northeast CWA and will likely begin to develop farther southwest with time. Upscale growth amid moderately unstable 2500-3000 j/kg MLCAPE and 35 to 40 kts deep layer shear should ensue in relatively quick fashion with cold pool congealment and wind profiles to favor linear modality with isolated damaging wind gusts the primary threat. A distant secondary risk for some hail, especially early tied with plume of 7-7.5 c/km mid level lapse rates. Earlier offsets against full potential insolation with morning convective debris and smoke layer aloft may prove saving grace for a more widespread/higher end event. Rapid southeast progression out southeast edge CWA by 02-03 UTC. && .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 324 PM EDT Mon Sep 4 2017 Multi-spoked upper low to dominate mid week with cooler temps. Tuesday daytime still likely a lull after extreme sweep out of airmass and next upstream trof axis and will continue dry for CWA. However, small chance for showers exist across far northern/northeast CWA associated with secondary pockets DCVA and 8-8.5 C/km 1000-700 mb lapse rates coincident with wrapped moisture. Higher chance showers midweek as vortex deepens/moves southward over Upper Great Lakes. Thereafter, dry period with gradual thermal moderation into early next week with CWA within heart of rex ridge between Irma and departed system through the Lower Great Lakes into New England. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 1250 PM EDT Mon Sep 4 2017 VFR with wsw winds gusting 25-30 knots through at least mid afternoon as boundary layer continues to deepen/destabilize and flow strengthens in advance of a cold front. This strongly forced cold front then swings through KSBN 21-22z and KFWA toward 00z. Thunderstorms will likely accompany the frontal passage, more scattered/broken near KSBN and likely more organized/linear with a wind threat (40-60 kts) at KFWA. A brief period of LIFR to IFR appears likely as this line of convection moves through. Dry/cool advection post-frontal will provide lighter nw winds and VFR conditions tonight into Tuesday morning. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
