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 10, 1:23 PM EDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 1:23 PM EDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 123 PM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 328 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020 Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts are expected today, roughly from noon to 8 PM eastern time. Damaging wind gusts may be most widespread toward Interstate 69 and eastward into Ohio. The extended forecast remains largely dry at this time. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1135 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020 Continued strong confidence in multiple severe weather events, especially eastern half of CWA this afternoon. Area of concern developing on leading edge of dryline advancing eastward into southwest Indiana/KEVV vicinity. Hi-res satellite data showing rapid transition to convective streets and sheared towering cumulus field. As this embedded mesoscale vorticity lifts north- northeast. Effective shear, with speed shear largely attributing, to 50-55 knots over northern Indiana coincident with moderate to strong unstable airmass. Pockets of heating with surface temperatures into middle 80s and dewpoints in middle 70s with 3000-3500 J/kg SBCAPE early this afternoon will continue to provide upscale growth of linear segments, potential LEWP with an embedded tornado, though by far the greatest risk is for widespread damaging wind gusts, significant tree and possible structural damage in isolated areas. && .SHORT TERM...(This Afternoon through Thursday) Issued at 328 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020 Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts are expected this afternoon and evening. The meteorology is described in the below paragraphs. The basics are: discrete thunderstorms can develop in the early afternoon and are expected to then form into a squall line near and east of Interstate 69, tracking through northwest Ohio. The initial starting point of the thunderstorms offers medium confidence, but is perhaps near Indiana route 15. High confidence in damaging wind gusts as the primary hazard. The threat ends near/after 8 PM EDT. && .LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Tuesday) Issued at 328 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020 An upper-level trough digs in later Friday into Saturday with a secondary cold front at 850 mb. The GFS has been adamant about rain chances with this feature and it now seems the ECMWF is jumping on board. However, timing varies. Thereafter, guidance attempts to develop a cut-off low over the Northeast US (00z GFS) to the eastern Great Lakes (00z ECMWF) as a towering ridge centered over Texas overtakes the aformentioned upper-level trough. For now, will focus on getting through today's severe thereat and carry on in the extended with limited/nil rain chances. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon) Issued at 122 PM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020 A 40 kt low level jet pushes towards the region ahead of a strong cold front. Gusty synoptic winds are expected today between 25 and 30 kts out of the southwest before dying off after midnight tonight. Thunderstorms will have the potential to create damaging winds as well as the possibility of large hail and isolated tornadoes. Heavy rain from thunderstorms will have the potential to reduce CIGs/VISBY into IFR to LIFR threshold, but quick storm motions should make those conditions brief. Storms should be out of the area during the evening/early overnight. Then, a brief period of MVFR CIGs are possible around 3z-5z as a secondary CAA area moves through. Winds will continue to die down and clouds will clear Thursday as the remnants of Cristobal move away from the area. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
