The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
A couple, separate waves of showers and thunderstorms developed across and passed through central Indiana during the afternoon and evening hours of July the 19th. Most of the report received from this event were of the 60 to 72 mph wind variety. However, one large hail report was received as well.
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 Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 19, 3:30 PM EST, 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 430 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 .UPDATE... AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 235 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ALONG A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE REGION. WHILE THE FRONT SHIFTS SOUTH OF CENTRAL INDIANA ON FRIDAY...ISOLATED STORMS MAY LINGER AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES THROUGH THE REGION. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR THE WEEKEND WITH DRY WEATHER. HOTTER TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER RIDGE EXPANDS BACK EAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. PERIODIC CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO RETURN MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 235 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 FOCUS IS ON PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT AS THE FRONT SLIDES SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION. QUITE A VARIATION IN TEMPS AT 18Z BASED ON HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER ANY ONE POINT HAS EXPERIENCED SO FAR. TEMPS RANGED FROM THE MID 70S IN THE NORTHEAST WHERE THE LAST OF THE CLOUD COVER FROM THE MORNING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IS DEPARTING...TO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S IN THE LOWER WABASH VALLEY. MUGGY ACROSS THE BOARD. FORECAST REMAINS RATHER COMPLEX FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH RESPECT TO CONVECTIVE REDEVELOPMENT AND SPECIFICALLY HOW WIDESPREAD COVERAGE WILL BE. CURRENT SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATING AN ABUNDANCE OF INSTABILITY OVER THE WABASH VALLEY WHERE THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF HEATING HAS TAKEN PLACE TODAY. ATMOSPHERE BEGINNING TO DESTABILIZE FURTHER NORTH TOWARDS LAFAYETTE WHERE THE AIRMASS IS RECOVERING UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. WITH THE BOUNDARY STILL DRAPED THROUGH THE REGION AND THE PRESENCE OF A LOW PRESSURE WAVE OVER EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS SLATED TO DRIFT SOUTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY... ANTICIPATE ROBUST CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE CONVECTION FOCUSED SOUTHWEST OF A LAFAYETTE-INDY-GREENSBURG LINE. REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING ALSO WILL PLAY A FACTOR IN DEVELOPMENT. FREEZING LEVELS REMAIN HIGH NEAR 16KFT...WITH HAIL CONCERNS CONFINED TO ONLY THE MOST ROBUST UPDRAFTS. GREATEST THREATS FOR THE AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES AT THIS TIME. PRESENCE OF THE WAVE THROUGH THE REGION AND A PREDOMINANT SOUTHEAST SURFACE FLOW AHEAD OF IT MAY SUPPORT SOME ROTATING UPDRAFTS WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS AND CONSEQUENTLY AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT. CONVECTION LIKELY TO PERSIST THROUGH THE EVENING...BECOMING FOCUSED SOUTHEAST OF THE INDY METRO AS THE BOUNDARY SLIDES INTO SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA. WILL GRADUALLY TAPER BACK TO CHANCE POPS LATE TONIGHT WITH THE BOUNDARY SETTLING NEAR THE OHIO RIVER TOWARDS DAYBREAK. EXPANSION OF LOWER STRATOCU BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ARRIVE IN THE REGION LATE TONIGHT ALONG WITH SOME PATCHY FOG. WILL MAINTAIN HEAT ADVISORY IN ITS CURRENT FORM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 00Z WITH CURRENT HEAT INDICES IN THE ADVISORY AREA ALREADY IN EXCESS OF 100 DEGREES. TEMPS...MOS GUIDANCE LOOKED REASONABLE OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS FALLING INTO THE UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... ISSUED AT 235 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 FORECAST CHALLENGES FOCUS ON PRECIP CHANCES AND CLOUDS FRIDAY WITH A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE PASSING THROUGH THE REGION...AND ON TEMPS FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS WARMER AIR STEADILY RETURNS. FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND LOW PRESSURE WAVE WILL BE DEPARTING ON FRIDAY MORNING...WITH THE FRONT DROPPING SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. TRAILING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA ON FRIDAY. RATHER EXTENSIVE AREA OF LOW STRATOCU OVER MUCH OF EASTERN MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN IN RESPONSE TO THIS FEATURE CURRENTLY...AND EXPECT THOSE CLOUDS TO BE PRESENT TO SOME DEGREE OVER FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY. RH PROGS AND MODEL SOUNDING DATA BOTH SUGGESTIVE OF A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL INVERSION THAT COULD KEEP MUCH OF THE REGION MOSTLY CLOUDY DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH IMPROVEMENT DURING THE AFTERNOON AS MIXING COMMENCES AND BREAKS UP THE DECK. AS CLOUDS BREAK... CONVECTIVE TEMPS ONLY IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S COMBINED WITH FORCING ALOFT WITHIN THE SHORTWAVE AND SOME INSTABILITY PRESENTS POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED/WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WILL INTRODUCE LOW POPS OVER ENTIRE FORECAST AREA...FOCUSING HIGHEST 30 POPS OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES IN CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO THE SHORTWAVE DURING THE AFTERNOON. ANY CONVECTIVE THREAT WILL END FRIDAY EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS SOUTH AND SPREADS A DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIRMASS INTO CENTRAL INDIANA. EXPECT ABUNDANT SUNSHINE FOR SATURDAY AS A GENERAL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW BRINGS DEEPER SUBSIDENCE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. CONVECTIVE TEMPS WELL IN EXCESS OF 100 DEGREES WILL KEEP LOWER LEVELS STABLE AND LARGELY FREE OF CU DEVELOPMENT. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT E/SE FLOW UNDER THE HIGH TO PROVIDE A PLEASANT NIGHT. SOUTHERLY FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE HIGH WILL COMMENCE ON SUNDAY WITH WARM ADVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AS THE BROAD HEAT RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS BEGINS YET ANOTHER EASTWARD EXPANSION. THE RETURN FLOW SHOULD ENABLE MORE ROBUST CU DEVELOPMENT DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS ADVERTISING A CONTINUED CAPPING INVERSION ALOFT WITH CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT NOT ANTICIPATED. TEMPS...POTENTIAL LOW CLOUDS ON FRIDAY WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON AFTERNOON HIGHS ACROSS THE REGION. GENERALLY LEANED A DEGREE OR TWO BELOW THE WARMER METMOS GUIDANCE WITH MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA REMAINING BELOW 90 DEGREES. EXPECT TEMP RECOVERY INTO THE LOWER 90S FOR MUCH OF THE AREA SATURDAY WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND RECOVERING WARMTH IN THE LOWER LEVELS...AND ONCE AGAIN AM MUCH CLOSER TO WARMER METMOS. WITH 850MB TEMPS SURGING TO AROUND 20C AND POSSIBLY HIGHER FOR SUNDAY...POTENTIAL FOR A RETURN TO MID 90S FOR PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... ISSUED AT 235 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 ENSEMBLE DATA INDICATE THE LOCAL AREA WILL RESIDE ON THE NORTHEAST FRINGES OF A HEAT RIDGE THAT WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS IS A FAVORABLE PATTERN FOR POTENTIAL MCS ACTIVITY AS DISTURBANCES MOVE EAST OVER THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER...AND THEN DROP INTO THE MEAN TROUGH POSITION OVER NEW ENGLAND. THE ENSEMBLES SUGGEST A PRECIPITATION THREAT JUST ABOUT EVERY PERIOD FROM MONDAY NIGHT ON INTO NEXT THURSDAY. WILL GO THAT ROUTE FOR NOW...AND KEEP MONDAY DRY...AND GO WITH CHANCE POPS FROM MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 192100Z KIND TAF UPDATE/... ISSUED AT 430 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 UPDATED TO DELAY THE ONSET OF THUNDER BY A FEW HOURS AS DEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM HAS BEEN SLOW TO OCCUR SO FAR. NO OTHER CHANGES NEEDED AT THIS TIME. PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... SUBTLE UPPER WAVE CURRENTLY PUSHING EAST ACROSS ILLINOIS PROGGED BY THE SHORT TERM MODELS TO MOVE ACROSS THE TAF SITES ROUGHLY 192000Z-200100Z. INSTABILITY AXIS RUNS FROM NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL INTO SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS QUITE HIGH THIS AFTERNOON...SO THINK THREAT OF CONVECTION OVER THE TAF SITES ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER WAVE IS GOOD. STILL SOME INHIBITION AROUND...SO DEVELOPMENT MAY STILL BE A FEW HOURS AWAY. IFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS LIKELY IN THE HEAVIER CELLS. CONVECTIVE CLOUD BASES 030-040. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA EXPECTED TO MIX OUT OR LIFT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...SO SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS AT KLAF/KIND SHOULD VEER TO A WEST SOUTHWEST DIRECTION BY MID AFTERNOON. COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTHEAST THROUGH ILLINOIS SHOULD RESULT IN A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH OR NORTHWEST STARTING AROUND 192300Z. WIND SPEEDS MAY APPROACH 15 KTS AT TIMES. FINALLY...AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS 015-025 DROPPING SOUTH BEHIND COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO KLAF AROUND SUNSET...REACHING KIND/KHUF TOWARDS 200600Z. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
