What happened

The episode as NWS CLE wrote it up.

Very warm and more humid air became established across the region by midday on the 26th. Low pressure was located well north of the area in Ontario, and another trough of low pressure was swinging southeast from Michigan. Showers and thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and continued through late evening. With increased moisture across the region, some of the thunderstorms not only became severe, but also caused some flash flooding across the area.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 26, 1:45 PM EST, 26 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
245 PM EDT THU JUN 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION FOR THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE AIR MASS REMAINS VERY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP INTO THE EVENING HOURS. MODELS INDICATED A WEAK SHORT WAVE
AT 18Z OVER NORTHERN INDIANA. AT FIRST GLANCE...I WAS SUSPICIOUS
THE SIGNAL WAS CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION.
HOWEVER...ALL THE MODELS ARE CONSISTENT IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE FEATURE
AND CONVECTION IS BEING TRIGGERED IN THE VICINITY. THE MODELS
INDICATE THIS SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD
BRING ANY ORGANIZED PCPN OVER THE SOUTHWEST SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA.  THE DEWPOINTS AND INSTABILITY ARE ALSO GREATER IN THIS AREA.
I WILL LEAN TOWARD HIGHER POPS IN SOUTHWEST NEAREST TO THE SHORT
WAVE. I WILL KEEP SCATTERED PCPN ALL OTHER AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FRIDAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY. WE WILL REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR
WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS OVER THE REGION. ONCE AGAIN IT IS
TOUGH TO FIND A FOCUS FOR THE CONVECTION ON FRIDAY. THE MODELS
HINT AT A WEAK WAVE DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT A FOCUS IS TOUGH TO
LOCATE. THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME BOUNDARIES FLOATING AROUND FROM
THE PREVIOUS NIGHT CONVECTION. BASED ON THE LACK OF DYNAMICS I
WILL KEEP POPS IN THE SCATTERED CATEGORY ON FRIDAY.

THE BIG FEATURE IN THE SHORT TERM FORECAST IS THE COLD FRONT THAT
WILL APPROACH THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY. THE MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE FRONT WILL BE OVER CENTRAL INDIANA AROUND
12Z SAT. THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA 18Z-00Z.
THIS SHOULD BE PRIME TIME FOR SEVERE CONVECTION ON SAT. CURRENT
SPC OUTLOOK INDICATES SLGHT RISK FOR AREA. IF WE AVOID THE DEBRIS
CLOUD FROM THE CONVECTION FRIDAY NIGHT...A WIDESPREAD SEVERE
WEATHER OUTBREAK IS POSSIBLE ON SAT. I WILL PLACE LIKELY POPS FOR
MOST AREAS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE
EXTENDED FORECAST CYCLE ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THE ACTIVE PATTERN
WILL RESULT IN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE A TRANSITION DAY WITH A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
BEGINNING TO BUILD INTO THE AREA. SOME DRYING CONDITIONS WILL
ACCOMPANY THE HIGH PRESSURE. THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE
ITS DOMINANCE THROUGH THURSDAY. WILL FOLLOW THE GFS SOLUTION AT
THIS TIME.
&&

.AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
UNSTABLE AIR MASS WITH CAPS 2.5K TO 4K WILL GIVE US A CHC OF TSTMS
TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MOSTLY MVFR CONDS BUT SOME
VFR CONDS POSSIBLE. OVERNIGHT LOOK FOR MORE FOG AND HAZE TO RESULT
IN MVFR CONDS. THE CONTINUED WARM MOIST AIR MASS WILL FUEL MORE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ON FRIDAY. SOUTHWEST WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON WITH SOME GUSTS TO 15 TO 20 KTS.

.OUTLOOK...WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN CONTINUES INTO SATURDAY
WITH MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT WILL
SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY CAUSING MORE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ANOTHER TROUGH WILL DROP
ACROSS THE AREA LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND BRING MORE
UNSETTLED WEATHER.

&&

.MARINE...
GENERAL S-SW FLOW THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AS FRONT STALLS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL LAKES.  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.  POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THESE STORMS TO REACH STRONG
TO SEVERE LIMITS WITH WINDS WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS
AND LARGE HAIL.  COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH SOUTH OF LAKE ERIE
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WITH WEST FLOW IN ITS WAKE.
SECONDARY TROUGHS AND CYCLONIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK
