NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 12:50 PM EST, 1 hour 40 minutes earlier.

ONE LONE SHOWER HELD TOGETHER FOR A BIT BUT HAS SINCE WEAKENED. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL BE ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE CONVECTION. THIS COMBINED WITH AN APPROACHING WAVE AND STRONG INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN SCT THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WITH GUSTY WINDS OUTSIDE STORMS. THINK SOMEWHAT BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS AT BOTH SITES BUT EXACT TIMING BEING QUESTIONABLE STILL PRECLUDES NO MORE THAN VCTS FOR NOW. BOTH SITES STARTING OUT WITH SOME HAZE WHICH SHOULD END OVER NEXT HOUR OR 2 AS TEMP/DEWPT SPREAD INCREASE. && .PREV DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT. MAIN CONCERN FIRST 24 HOURS WILL BE WITH CONVECTION CHANCES AND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL. ACTIVE NIGHT HAS BEEN ONGOING FROM SOUTHERN WISCONSIN SW TO MISSOURI AND OKLAHOMA. STRONG LLJ HAS BEEN IN PLACE IN THESE AREAS ALLOWING FOR UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. IN THIS AREA...WEAKLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS IN PLACE WITH THIS SET TO CHANGE RATHER QUICKLY DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. BULK OF THE PRECIP AND ASSOCIATED DEBRIS CLOUDS SHOULD REMAIN TO THE NW OF THE AREA...BUT AM CONCERNED THAT SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS COULD SNEAK INTO THESE AREAS FOR A FEW HOURS. COULD ALSO BE SOME STRAY SHOWERS AND STORMS LEFT OVER BUT SATELLITE TRENDS SHOW WARMING CLOUDS TOPS AND AREA OF PRECIP SHRINKING. INSTABILITY WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE THIS MORNING ACROSS THE AREA AS TEMPS CLIMB WELL INTO THE 80S BY NOON. THIS COMBINED WITH DEWPTS EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 60S TO POSSIBLY LOW 70S YIELDS LIS OF -3 TO -6 C AND CAPES AOA 3000 J/KG. STEEP LAPSE RATES IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER OF GREATER THAN 8.5 C/KM ALSO IN PLACE. ALL POINTS TOWARDS INCREASED RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA. BEST S/W ENERGY WILL JUST CLIP THE AREA AND HEAD INTO MI...BUT WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO HELP THINGS OUT. BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION TO THE WEST WILL LIKELY BECOME THE TRIGGER/FOCUS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE AREA. SPC DAY1 OUTLOOK HAS NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA IN MDT RISK AND REMAINDER IN BORDERLINE SLGT/MDT RISK. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE MDT RISK EXTENDED FURTHER SOUTH. WILL ADD CHC POPS THIS AM IN NW TO ACCOUNT FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY SURVIVE FROM THE WEST AND CHANCE FOR NEW ACTIVITY BY LATE AM. WILL CONTINUE WITH 50 POPS THIS AFTERNOON AND NGT...BUT GO WITH SCT WORDING AND ADD MENTION OF SEVERE (WINDS/HAIL FOR NOW). INCREASING CONCERN THIS EVENING FOR TORNADO POTENTIAL OR MORE SIG DAMAGING WINDS AS 0-1KM SHEAR OF 40 KTS AND 0-6 KM OF 80KTS SHOWN AT SOUTH BEND. AS FOR TEMPS...NO CHANGES MADE WITH HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS IN STORE WITH HEAT INDICES INTO THE MID 90S. WILL CONTINUE MENTION IN ZONES AS WELL AS HWO. RECORD HIGH AT SOUTH BEND IS 91 SO WILL BE A CLOSE CALL THERE. FORT WAYNE RECORD IS WELL INTO THE 90S AND LIKELY SAFE. && .LONG TERM... MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. NAM/GFS ARE NOT TOO DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF SYNOPTIC FEATURES ON MONDAY...THEN THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES TUESDAY. FOR THE MOST PART...WILL USE THE NAM FOR THE LONG RANGE FCST THROUGH TUESDAY. AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE ERN CWFA EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THUS...WILL KEEP A LINGERING 30 POP IN THESE LOCATIONS UNTIL FROPA. OTHERWISE...WITH CAA BEING FAIRLY WEAK BEHIND FRONT...AM NOT EXPECTING A BIG DROP IN TEMPS ON MONDAY...WITH HIGHS MOST LOCATIONS STILL PUSHING INTO THE MID 80S. NAM IS FCSTING DRIER AIR AT ALL LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...ENOUGH IN FACT THAT MOST OF THE NRN CWFA MAY GO MOSTLY SUNNY BY AFTERNOON. WITH LINGERING SHALLOW MSTR IN THE SOUTH...PARTLY CLOUDY SHOULD SUFFICE THERE (DUE TO DIURNAL CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT). FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...A WARM FRONT IS FCST TO DEVELOP JUST TO OUR NW. NAM IS HINTING AT SOME SPORADIC ELEVATED CONVECTION JUST TO OUR NW. AT THIS POINT...WILL KEEP FCST DRY AS THIS IS THE FIRST RUN THAT THIS HAS APPEARED. ON TUESDAY...BIG QUESTION REMAINS ON HOW FAR A SAGGING COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES FROM CANADA. GFS BRINGS FRONT FARTHER SOUTH THAN NAM (NAM KEEPS IT TO OUR NORTH). BELIEVE NAM SOLUTION AT THIS POINT AS MID LVL FLOW ALOFT IS MOSTLY ZONAL ...WHICH SHOULD KEEP FRONT AT BAY. AS FOR TEMPS...THE NAM ACTUALLY BEGINS TO WARM 850 MB TEMPS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT INTO THE 18 C 19 C RANGE...ENOUGH SO THAT FCST AREA WILL LIKELY BE FLIRTING WITH 90 DEGREE TEMPS ONCE AGAIN. THUS...HAVE WARMED TEMPS UP FOR TUESDAY NEAR 90 DEGREES. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED...HAVE KEPT FCST AS IS. MAIN DIFFERENCE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST IS THAT THE COLD FRONT TO THE NORTH MAY ACTUALLY MOVE NE OF THE AREA BY MID TO LATE WEEK INSTEAD OF MEANDERING NEAR THE FCST AREA (DUE TO BUILDING MID LVL RIDGE OFF OF ATLANTIC COAST). SO INSTEAD OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEING FRONTAL DRIVEN...THEY COULD BE AIRMASS DRIVEN (30 PERCENT) GIVEN WARM...HUMID UNSTABLE AIR. && EQUIPMENT NOTE...THE KIWX WSR-88D IS BACK IN SERVICE. .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .IN...NONE. .MI...NONE. .OH...NONE. .LK MI...NONE. && UPDATE...HOLSTEN SHORT TERM/AVIATION...FISHER LONG TERM...HICKMAN
