What happened

The episode as NWS IWX wrote it up.

A strong southerly flow and developing low pressure helped push a warm front north into parts of northwestern Ohio. A cold front swept in from the west as well. Strong to extreme low level shear was located near the warm front. Areas of weak rotation were noted within a LEWP as the storms moved into northwestern Ohio. Severe weather was isolated to a few hail and wind damage reports.

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 Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 14, 1:26 PM EST, 1 hour 54 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 14, 1:26 PM EST, 1 hour 54 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
126 PM EST MON NOV 14 2011

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS...WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST TO THE SOUTH OF TERMINALS
WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE AFTERNOON. LATEST SFC OBSERVATIONS INDICATING WARM FRONT HAS
REACHED KFWA WITH WINDS NOW SOUTHERLY AND GUSTING TO AROUND 20
KNOTS. THIS SHARP FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL INTERACT WITH AN
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON. THE PRIMARY
INSTABILITY AXIS WILL SET UP FROM EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO
NORTHEAST INDIANA WITH KFWA MARKING THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THIS
GREATER INSTABILITY. WHILE THUNDER MAY BE MORE ISOLD OR SCT AT
KSBN...BEST POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER AT KSBN SHOULD BE OVER THE NEXT
HOUR OR TWO. WITH STRONG BACKGROUND WIND SHEAR AND PLACEMENT OF
INSTABILITY...STORMS WILL LIKELY BE STRONG/SEVERE AND DID
INDICATE WIND GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 KNOTS IN TEMPO TSRA GROUP FOR FWA.
THREAT OF PRECIP SHOULD END AT EARLY THIS EVENING AS COLD FRONT
TRACKS EASTWARD THROUGH THE AREA. CONFIDENCE IN WINDS DIMINISHES
LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH UNCERTAINTY AS TO EXACT PLACEMENT OF WARM
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...BUT WINDS SHOULD EVENTUALLY FAVOR SOUTHWEST
LATER TONIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AS ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1105 AM EST MON NOV 14 2011/

UPDATE...
CONVECTIVE/SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN
FORECAST FOCUS FOR THE NEAR TERM. SURFACE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY
CONTINUES TO SLOWLY CREEP NORTHWARD LATE THIS MORNING AND EXTENDS
FROM EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO EAST CENTRAL INDIANA AT 15Z. SHARP
THERMAL/MOISTURE GRADIENT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS WARM FRONT WITH
TEMP/DEW POINT KFWA OF 48/46 AT KFWA AND KIND OF 66/59. SOME
ADDITIONAL NORTHWARD MOVEMENT OF THIS WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON HOURS. A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY
LOW LEVEL JET WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT UNSEASONABLY MOIST LOW
LEVEL AIR NORTHWARD ACROSS APPROXIMATELY SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. ALREADY BEGINNING TO SEE UPSWING IN
ELEVATED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY NORTH OF THIS WARM FRONT ACROSS
SOUTHERN HALF OF FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. SOME FAIRLY
IMPRESSIVE ELEVATED CORES AND A FEW REPORTS OF SOME SMALL HAIL
HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. AS THIS BAND OF SHOWERS CONTINUES TO LIFT
NORTHWARD LATE THIS MORNING...EXPECTING SOME WEAKENING TREND AS
THESE CELLS MOVE AWAY FROM BETTER LOWER BASED INSTABILITY ACROSS
THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...LARGE SCALE FORCING SHOULD INCREASE AGAIN
THIS AFTERNOON AS A VORT MAX EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS
NWRN MO/IOWA SWINGS INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION. LARGE
SCALE FORCING WILL ALSO BE AIDED BY STRONG UPPER LEVEL DVG IN
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A VERY STRONG 150 KNOT JET CORE OVERHEAD.
DISCRETE STORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND DESPITE WEAK
INSTABILITY...0 TO 6 KM SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 80 TO 90 KNOTS WILL
RESULT IN A CONCERN FOR LOW TOPPED SUPERCELLS...PARTICULARLY
ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE AREA WHERE SFC BASED INSTABILITY
IS EXPECTED. STRONG WIND FIELD SHOULD ALSO ENHANCE WIND POTENTIAL
WITH SMALLER SCALE BOWING SEGMENTS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
GENEARL NATURE OF MORNING FORECAST IS STILL INTACT WITH
HAIL...WIND...ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT ACROSS SERN HALF...AND SVR
PROBABILITIES DIMINISHING ACROSS APPROX NWRN THIRD OF THE AREA.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 418 AM EST MON NOV 14 2011/

SHORT TERM.../TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/

SHRTWV MOVG RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS MORNING IN
BASE OF BROAD TROF OVER CENTRAL NOAM. STRENGTHENING/BACKING LLJ
AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE ACROSS MO WAS RESULTING IN LOW LEVEL ISENT
LIFT OVER CENTRAL IL/IN CAUSING SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS IN THIS AREA. SFC
LOW EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES ENE ALONG THE
STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH EXTENDED FROM WRN LAKE ERIE WSW
INTO MO. SOME NORTHWARD MOVEMENT OF THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
LIKELY AHEAD OF THE WAVE TODAY WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN HIGH TEMPS IN
THE L-M60S ACROSS THE SE 1/2 OF THE CWA AND IN THE M50S NW. DWPTS IN
U50S/L60S SOUTH OF THE FRONT OVER SE MO/SRN IL EXPECTED TO ADVECT
NORTHWARD INTO SERN PORTION OF CWA. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR WK SFC
BASED INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP IN THIS AREA WITH CAPES AROUND 500J/KG.
STRONG WIND FIELDS AND LOW LEVEL/DEEP LAYER SHEAR SUGGESTS LOW
TOPPED SUPERCELLS AND BOWING LINE SEGMENTS ARE PSBL WITH THE
CONVECTION OVER SERN PORTION OF THE CWA THIS AFTN. EXPANDED SLIGHT
CHANCE OF TSTMS TO REMAINDER OF THE CWA WHERE SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED AND ADDED POTENTIAL FOR SVR STORMS TO
GRIDS/HWO ACROSS THE SE THIS AFTN.

WAVE WILL LIFT NE OF THE AREA THIS EVE PUSHING CDFNT SE OF THE CWA.
DECREASING CLOUDINESS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT THIS
EVE... HWVR WITH WSWLY FLOW ALOFT CONTG...CIRRUS SHIELD WILL LIKELY
PERSIST ACROSS THE SERN PORTION OF THE CWA WHICH SHOULD LIMIT TEMP
FALLS THERE DESPITE RIDGING AND LIGHTER WINDS MOVG INTO THE AREA.
LOWS EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE U30S NW TO THE U40S SE.

BY TUE CLOSED LOW OVER BAJA IS EXPECTED TO GET DRAWN EASTWARD TO ERN
TX WHERE IT WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF SHEARING OUT IN THE PRESENCE
OF THE STRONGER WESTERLIES ASSOCIATED WITH BROAD CENTRAL NOAM TROF
WHICH SHOULD BE DIGGING/AMPLIFYING ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS. SRN SYSTEM
WILL LIKELY CAUSE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO AGAIN BECOME ACTIVE WITH
SHOWERS AND TSTMS BUT EXPECT THIS PRECIP TO REMAIN S-SE OF OUR CWA.
RATHER STRONG SFC CDFNT ASSOCIATED WITH SHRTWV DIGGING INTO THE NRN
PLAINS TUE AND PROGRESSING INTO THE UPR GRTLKS TUE NGT IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE ACROSS OUR CWA TUE EVE. GIVEN LACK OF MOISTURE AND STRONGER
FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM REMAINING TO OUR NORTH... FCST
DRY CONDITIONS TO CONT TUE NGT IN OUR AREA. CAA BEHIND TODAY'S WAVE
SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED AS WAA DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE FRONT TUE
ALLOWING HIGHS AGAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL IN THE U50S/L60S. RATHER
STRONG CAA TUE NIGHT SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO FALL INTO THE M30S WITH
DRY AIRMASS MOVG INTO THE AREA CLEARING SKIES EVEN DOWNWIND OF LAKE
MICHIGAN DESPITE SOME WK LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY.

LONG TERM...
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...A VERY CHILLY AIRMASS WILL BE MOVING
INTO THE FORECAST AREA AT THE START OF THIS PERIOD. FOR THIS
PACKAGE...HAVE BLENDED THE GFS AND THE ECMWF. THESE MODELS GENERALLY
WERE TRENDING A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE COLD AIR. THE
GFS MEX IS 5 DEGREES WARMER WITH THE LOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT...COMPARED
24F WITH 29F ON THE 14/00Z RUN. THE GFS MEX LOW OF 25F THURSDAY
NIGHT LOOKS TOO COLD GIVEN HOW FAST WARM AIR ADVECTION INCREASES.
KEPT LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT AROUND 30F...IN LINE WITH THE CANADIAN
EPSGRAMS...WITH A BULK OF THEIR LOWS CLOSE TO 30 DEGREES. AS FOR
PRECIPITATION...LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUPPORT ALL SNOW INTO
THURSDAY. GIVEN A VERY MARGINAL LAKE EFFECT FETCH...KEPT A CHANCE
FOR SNOW OVER JUST FAR NORTHERN BERRIEN COUNTY WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE...WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL INCREASE
FRIDAY...WITH SOME MOISTURE RETURNING SATURDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE
BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE SATURDAY NIGHT GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED
COLD FRONT PASSAGE WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. HAVE ADJUSTED RAIN
CHANCES IN THIS REGARD AFTER NWS OFFICE COORDINATION.
