An outflow boundary from early morning convection became the focus for isolated thunderstorms to develop during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Given mixed layer capes at or above 2000 J/KG and bulk shear exceeding 40 knots, these storms quickly intensified into supercells with one well developed cell going through several cycles of rotation.

Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS IWX wrote it up.
An outflow boundary from early morning convection became the focus for isolated thunderstorms to develop during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Given mixed layer capes at or above 2000 J/KG and bulk shear exceeding 40 knots, these storms quickly intensified into supercells with one well developed cell going through several cycles of rotation. Several reports of large hail, isolated wind damage and a persistent wall cloud that remained intact through several counties but was never confirmed to have produced a tornado.
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 Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 19, 2:52 PM EST, 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
352 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2009
...WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING...
.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT...LARGEST UNCERTAINTY REMAINS IN THE NEAR TERM WITH
RETREATING WARM FRONT AND STRONG BUT NOT YET SEVERE CONVECTION
FIRING NORTH OF THE H92 LLEVEL THETAE BOUNDARY. MOST OF THE AREA
REMAINS CAPPED UNDER SOMEWHAT LOWER THETAE VALUES BEHIND MORNING
MCS. THE SURFACE WARM FRONT IS IN THE PROCESS OF MIXING OUT GIVEN
A DECENT BIT OF MORNING SUN AND H85 AND H92 FLOW THAT HAS VEERED
SOUTHWEST OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN EDGE OF THE CWA...SHOWN BY THE
WOLCOTT PROFILER. A CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY REMAINS HOWEVER AND THIS
BOUNDARY ALONG WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT FROM H92 TO H85 MAY STILL
SPARK CONVECTION DURING THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS. NORTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...CELLS HAVE BEEN TRAINING SOMEWHAT AND EXPECT THIS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
ASSOCIATED WITH CONVECTION ALONG THE COLD FRONT /SEE BELOW/ WILL
CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR AREAS THAT SAW 1-3+ INCHES OF
RAINFALL THIS MORNING.
UNFORTUNATELY...EVEN IF THE AFOREMENTIONED WARM FRONT DOES NOT
GENERATE CONVECTION...EXPECT THAT WE WILL NOT BE OFF THE HOOK AS THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT NOW OVER NEBRASKA AND IOWA AS WELL AS ITS
ASSOCIATED UPPER SHORTWAVE PULLS EAST TONIGHT. GIVEN 0-3KM SHEAR
INCREASING TO 30-40KTS AND A LINEAR FORCING MECHANISM...EXPECT
ONE OR TWO LINES OF STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THIS
EVENING WITH A BOW ECHO...OR SOME BOWING SEGMENTS LIKELY.
ALSO...ISOLATED SPIN UP TORNADOES ALONG THIS LINE WILL BE POSSIBLE.
CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN CLEARING THE AREA BEHIND THE SURFACE COLD
FRONT AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH SOME REMAINING SHRAS THROUGH DAYBREAK.
WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS OVER THE SOUTHEAST...BUT TAPER TO CHC IN
THE NORTHWEST WITH ANY TSRAS AFTER 6Z LIKELY FROM ABOUT FWA SOUTH
AND EAST. LOWS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WON/T DROP ALL THAT FAR GIVEN
CLOUD COVER...WINDS AND NOT THAT COLD OF A PUSH BEHIND THE FRONT.
EXPECT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S.
&&
.LONGER TERM DISCUSSION...
SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...LINGERING SHOWERS WILL END EARLY
SATURDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVES EAST OF THE AREA AND AS AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE
OPERATIONAL RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT
IN HANDLING OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE UPPER RIDGE AND THE
PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS. THE 12Z ECMWF IS A LITTLE
WARMER WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES THAN THE GFS...WARMING CLOSE TO
20C DURING THE LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK. KEPT THE ONGOING FORECAST
DRY WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1225 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2009/
AVIATION /18Z TAFS/...
VFR BOTH SITES ATTM WITH CONVECTION NEARING SBN. EXPECT STRONG TO
SEVERE CONVECTION TO REACH SBN IN THE 18-22Z TIMEFRAME WITH
OCCASIONAL IFR RESTRICTIONS LIKELY ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR
DAMAGING WINDS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY TAKE LONGER TO REACH
FWA...SO HAVE LEFT CONDITIONS VFR HERE LONGER /UNTIL 22Z/...BUT
CAN/T RULE OUT A POP UP STORM THIS AFTERNOON.
AFTER MORE DISCRETE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL
CONTINUE WITH ONE OR MORE LINES DEVELOPING THIS EVENING. HAVE
CONTINUED MVFR SHRAS WITH CB GROUPS TO HANDLE THIS ACTIVITY. AFTER
MIDNIGHT TSRA SHOULD TAPER TO SHRAS WITH MVFR FOG /AND PERHAPS IFR
GIVEN ENOUGH RAINFALL/ DEVELOPING. CONDITIONS RETURN TO VFR
SATURDAY MORNING WITH JUST SOME SCT REMAINING CU.
SOUTHWEST WINDS 14G22KTS WILL CONTINUE THOUGH THE EVENING...
VEERING MORE WESTERLY OVERNIGHT. CERTAINLY MUCH STRONGER WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE IN ANY STORMS. FOR THE DAY ON SATURDAY WEST NORTHWEST
WINDS 14G22KTS WILL CONTINUE.
