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 27, 7:18 PM EDT, 3 hours 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 27, 7:18 PM EDT, 3 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 718 PM EDT Mon May 27 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 718 PM EDT Mon May 27 2019 Thunderstorms, possibly strong to severe, will move east through the area this evening. A frontal boundary will linger across the region Tuesday through Thursday with periodic chances for showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will generally be near normal through the period. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday) Issued at 201 PM EDT Mon May 27 2019 Temperatures this afternoon expected to warm up into the upper 70s to near 80. Cloud cover this afternoon will increase ahead of strong system to our west. Lingering low clouds/fog from Lake Michigan stretching southeast through SBN and FWA finally eroding away. This feature may play a role with stronger storms this evening as it acts as a differential heating boundary. Strong low pressure system spinning over IA/MN this afternoon will be the focus in the short term for severe weather across our area. Leading warm front will lift northward this afternoon with a few showers and thunderstorms along it possible. Severe risk with these storms will be limited but cannot rule out gusty winds and small hail. Severe risk increases late this afternoon into the evening as warm front lifts farther north. All severe hazards in play for tonight including damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornado, and heavy rain. Behind the front, SFC based instability increasing to 2000 j/kg and deep layer shear ranging from 50-60 knots. Long and curved hodographs with backed winds at the SFC veering with height along the boundary may result in storms with rotation. Damaging winds is likely the biggest risk this evening as 500-700 mb winds increase to 50-60 knots by 00z. As stronger storms develop they will have the potential to mix down these winds to the surface. Concern for large hail is low especially given high PWAT values across the area around 1.5 inches. However, due to high PWAT values, heavy rain and minor flooding is a concern especially given already saturated ground. Widespread 0.75 to 1 inch rainfall with locally heavier amounts in stronger thunderstorms. CAM guidance indicating potential for even higher amounts, but held off bumping up QPF further due to some uncertainty. Tomorrow, mild weather again with high in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Dry conditions in the morning before showers and thunderstorms fire up in the afternoon along a residual boundary leftover from previous nights storms. Kept inherited chance pops as its still uncertain where the boundary will set up. && && .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 245 PM EDT Mon May 27 2019 Continued chances for rain in the long term as active pattern repeats itself again on Wednesday and Thursday. Rain and thunderstorms chances will once again depend on upstream convection that makes its way towards the Great Lakes. A brief break in the pattern with a rare dry day Friday and into the day on Saturday. Another shortwave drops down into the area Sat afternoon bringing once again rain to the area into Sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday Evening) Issued at 718 PM EDT Mon May 27 2019 Thunderstorms, potentially strong to severe, will continue to impact KSBN through approximately 01z and KFWA between 00z and 02z. A convectively aided vort max and sfc warm front are providing the forcing for this convection. Brief IFR/low MVFR conditions possible. Shower/storm chances quickly diminish later this evening into Tuesday morning, though cannot completely rule out scattered showers/iso thunder in the vicinity of a frontal boundary that will linger across the Lower Great Lakes region. Some MVFR, possibly IFR, stratus may creep back into mainly KSBN later tonight into Tuesday morning near the leftover frontal zone. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE.
