Severe Thunderstorm Warning 57, NWS Northern Indiana

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
441 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 207 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon into
early this evening, mainly across northeast Indiana, south-central
Michigan, and northwest Ohio. Cool, breezy, and showery weather
conditions will then follow tonight through Tuesday.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 441 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

Severe wx event continues in northeast IN with numerous hail/wind
reports so far with bowing segments and other cell mergers. Bowing
segment and well established rear inflow jet continues to produce
damaging wind from Steuben northeast into far nw OH and southern
Hillsdale county in the next 30 minutes or so. The main show
beyond that will turn to intense multicell cluster just wnw of the
Fort Wayne area that should grow upscale with linear wind damage
segments into the rest of our northwest OH counties 22-00z.
Damaging winds, hail and an isolated tornado remain the threats
from Columbia City/Fort Wayne and to the east-southeast.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 207 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

Severe event on target with all hazards (hail/wind/tornado) in play
as initial discrete convection has already developed into northwest
IN and sw MI. This activity will grow upscale, eventually congealing
into multicellular line segments once reaching the I-69 corridor and
points east. A Tornado Watch has been issued for the entire
forecast around through 00z.

Steepening lapse rates, incoming lift/cooling aloft on the leading
edge of an upper low approaching southern WI, and good pre-frontal
moisture return has pushed MLCAPE values up around 2000 j/kg in a
narrow plume immediately in advance of the system cold front.
Effective deep layer shear generally ranging from 20-30 knots north
to 30-40 knots south, which when combined with the relatively steep
lapse rates should support sustained/robust convection. Hail and
wind look to be the primary threats initially with discrete
convection, with wind and isolated tornadoes where any organization
takes place given strong 0-3 km bulk shear magnitudes within
strengthening 850 mb sw flow. This is conjunction with some subtle
backing of the low level wind field could provide enough low level
hodo curvature for a tornado or two ... highest probs from I-69 east
into northwest OH. The bulk of the severe activity should clear the
forecast area to the east by around 23-00z.

Mostly cloudy skies, blustery northwesterly winds, cooler temps and
scattered rain showers will become the wx story later tonight into
Monday under deep/moist cyclonic flow. The greatest coverage of
showers is expected late morning and afternoon tomorrow given some
diurnal support on the southern periphery of the lower MI centered
low and cool pocket aloft. A few embedded storms can also not be
ruled out during this time if sfc temps can recover into the low to
mid 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 207 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

The stacked low will migrate east toward the eastern Great Lakes
into Tuesday allowing drier air to filter in. The result should be
lesser rain shower chances and coverage, though northerly winds will
remain on the breezy side and highs will struggle to reach the upper
60s to mid 70s.

A transition to a more common summer pattern will emerge Wednesday
through Friday with more of a quasi-zonal flow regime taking shape
on the northern fringe of a south-central CONUS upper ridge.
Wednesday and Thursday appear to be dry/warmer days with sfc ridging
in control and any convective activity well west-southwest near a
developing frontal zone. This frontal zone and another incoming
upper trough cresting the aformentioned upper ridge then brings
periodic shower/storm chances back into the forecast Friday into
Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon)
Issued at 110 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

Another round of storms will move through with a cold frontal
passage this afternoon. Storms have developed over northwest IL
and are moving east to northeastward and will likely begin
affecting KSBN around 19-20z period but then move east of the
terminal by 21z Sun. T
here is a bit more uncertainty to the exact
evolution and initiation further eastward however latest HRRR
guidance has a linear convective feature moving into the KFWA
vicinity around 21z. Strong gusty winds and hail will be possible
with these storms, some look to become severe. Storms should exit
the area after 23z Sun. Scattered showers behind the frontal
boundary with lowering cigs with MVFR conditions after 06z Mon
for KSBN and around 07z for KFWA.

&&

.IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IN...NONE.
MI...NONE.
OH...NONE.
LM...Small Craft Advisory until 8 PM EDT this evening for LMZ043-046.
