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 Aug 11, 8:20 PM EDT, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 8:20 PM EDT, 2 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 820 PM EDT Wed Aug 11 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 820 PM EDT Wed Aug 11 2021 More storms are likely at times tonight through Friday before cooler and dry conditions prevail this weekend. High temperatures will be around 90 Thursday with heat indices around 100. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Thursday night) Issued at 255 PM EDT Wed Aug 11 2021 Convective complex currently moving exiting eastern CWA and will to move east of the area shortly. HRRR seems to be best among the HREF members in handling this early afternoon convection so will lean that way for potential redevelopment tonight where ongoing convection in WI still expected to intensify this afternoon in the presence of highly sheared environment ahead of approaching mid- level short wave. Still anticipate organization into a more linear complex as it moves down into SE WI...NE IL...SW lwr MI...with plenty of uncertainty in severe threat for our area after being worked over this afternoon. In the wake of whats left of nocturnal complex tonight will once again see very warm...humid airmass in place and with decreasing clouds expect ample destabilization in the daytime hours leading to convective initiation to our west and tracking E/SE along baroclinic zone to potentially impact our area late Thursday/Thursday night. Hot and humid conditions expected again on Thursday with highs near 90 and dewpoints in the low to mid 70s will have heat indices approaching 100 in SE CWA so will consider having advisory in effect during the afternoon- early evening. && .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 255 PM EDT Wed Aug 11 2021 Forecast period to begin with final push of frontal boundary through our area on Friday. Timing will dictate if any diurnal instability can develop in SE CWA before front moves through. Latest trends from deterministic models in line with SREF in early arrival for frontal passage that should preclude any threat for strong to severe storms. Canadian high pressure building in behind this front will bring much less humid conditions to the region as dewpoints drop into the 50s Saturday. Pleasant...dry weather continues into the beginning of next week with precip chances arriving toward the end of the period as remnants of TS Fred drift northward through the Appalacians. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday Evening) Issued at 815 PM EDT Wed Aug 11 2021 Next shortwave and associated weak frontal boundary will cross the area tonight with another round of storms. Timing is becoming a bit clearer but there is still some uncertainty based on inconsistencies among latest CAM's. Also low confidence on coverage and severity of any thunderstorms...particularly at KFWA given late arrival and overall weak forcing. Will therefore continue with just a VCTS mention. Slightly higher confidence at KSBN and may introduce a TEMPO TSRA later. Some MVFR ceilings may be possible behind the rain Thu morning but confidence is too low to include with this package. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. MI...NONE. OH...NONE. LM...Small Craft Advisory until 2 AM EDT Thursday for LMZ043-046. && SYNOPSIS...AGD SHORT TERM...JAL LONG TERM...JAL AVIATION...AGD Visit us at www.weather.gov/iwx Follow us on Facebook...Twitter...and YouTube at: www.facebook.com/NWSNorthernIndiana www.twitter.com/nwsiwx www.youtube.com/NWSNorthernIndiana
