The episode as NWS IWX wrote it up.
An upper level low pressure system was centered over northern Ohio. A more fall like pattern of cool air aloft was in place, setting the stage for the development of showers and a few thunderstorms. Limited shear and instability kept most convection well below severe limits, with reports of cold air funnel clouds common given weak surface flow and cold air aloft. However, three weaker thunderstorms did congeal along an outflow boundary in northern Defiance County, causing rapid intensification and eventual collapse of the resultant storm. Radar data and visual observations showed the storm briefly exhibited mini supercell type structure with a well-defined wall cloud and funnel cloud.
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 29, 2:56 PM EST, 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 356 PM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 1115 AM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 COOLER BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE IN STORE FOR THIS WEEKEND AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAINTAINS ITS HOLD OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING SMALL RAIN CHANCES FOR THE WEEKEND WITH A CHANCE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF THESE SHOWERS IS FAIRLY WELL ALIGNED WITH WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TO JUST SOUTH OF DEFIANCE. A SECONDARY AREA OF ENHANCED SCATTERED COVERAGE HAS TAKEN SHAPE JUST OFF THE EAST SHORE OF SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN WHERE SOME LAKE ENHANCED CONVERGENCE HAS AIDED UPDRAFTS. LAPSE RATES ARE RELATIVELY WEAK WITH 700-500 HPA LAPSE RATES ON THE ORDER OF 6-6.5 DEG CELSIUS/KM. DESPITE RELATIVELY COOL SFC TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S...MOIST LOW LEVELS HAVE ALLOWED FOR 100 HPA MLCAPES ON THE ORDER OF 500-1000 J/KG. WITH UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTERED ACROSS NORTHEAST ILLINOIS THIS AFTERNOON...STEERING FLOW AND SHEAR ARE VERY WEAK WHICH MAY POSE SOME THREAT FOR SOME LOCALIZED HEAVIER RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE HAD SOME REPORTS OF SMALL HAIL WHICH MAY CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH PEAK DIURNAL INSTABILITY...BUT CURRENTLY NOT EXPECTING MUCH WIND POTENTIAL WITH THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO MORE LIMITED INSTABILITY AND HIGH LOW/MID LEVEL RH. AS WAS THE CASE YESTERDAY...SHOULD TEND TO SEE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DECREASE TOWARD SUNSET. HOWEVER...PV ANOMALY WHICH HAS DUG SOUTH OF LOCAL AREA THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD GET INGESTED BACK INTO UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW THIS EVENING WITH INCREASING DPVA SETTING UP ACROSS SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THIS SHOULD TEND TO PERPETUATE SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THESE LOCATIONS THROUGH THIS EVENING ALTHOUGH THUNDER COVERAGE SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH TIME. FOR SUNDAY...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT UPPER LOW CENTER SHOULD SHIFT INTO FAR NORTHEAST INDIANA/NORTHWEST OHIO TAKING BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE SOUTH AND EAST OF AREA. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW SLIGHTLY DRY LOW LEVEL AIR TO ADVECT SOUTHWARD ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WITH WEAKER DIURNAL INSTABILITY EXPECTED. AFOREMENTIONED PV ANOMALY WRAPPING BACK NORTHWARD AROUND UPPER LOW CENTER SHOULD RESULT IN BEST FORCING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST WHICH AGREES WELL WITH INHERITED FORECAST AND LITTLE CHANGE MADE TO THE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST CHANCE POP GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. && .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 HIGHLIGHTS THIS PERIOD REMAIN CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/ISO THUNDER AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH TEMPS WARMING CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMS THEREAFTER... AN UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY...WITH A LOW LVL TROUGH AXIS DRAPED JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE LOCAL AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING...WILL SLOWLY RETROGRADE NORTHWESTWARD MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SCT SHOWERS/ISO THUNDER WILL LIKELY FOCUS INVOF THIS TROUGH AXIS THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS SEVERAL SHORTWAVES ROTATE THROUGH AROUND THE LARGER SCALE CIRCULATION. SOME WEAK MID LVL FGEN/DEFORMATION AND MOISTURE ADVECTION WITH THESE FEATURES MAY EVEN SUPPORT MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF THE TYPICAL AFTERNOON/EVENING DIURNAL CYCLE...BEST CHANCES BEING MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. MUCH OF SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING WILL LIKELY END UP DRY (SAVE FAR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES WHERE A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER) AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN WITH THE TROUGH AXIS POSITIONED SOUTHEAST OF THE IWX CWA. KEPT THUNDER CHANCES IN DURING THE AFTN/EVE AS ANY CLEARING WITH COLD POCKET NEAR WILL SUPPORT MODEST AFTN DESTABILIZATION. LACKING FLOW/SHEAR AND MEAGER MID LVL LAPSE RATES SHOULD LIMIT THE SEVERE POTENTIAL TO A PM ISOLATED PULSE WIND/HAIL THREAT AT BEST. WESTWARD EXPANSION OF AN EASTERN SEABOARD RIDGE COMBINED WITH STRONGER WESTERLIES RETURNING TO SOUTHERN CANADA WILL SUPPORT WEAKENING AND STALLING OF THE UPPER LOW/TROUGH THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...WITH A PORTION OF THE TROUGH GETTING PICKED UP BY BELT OF WESTERLIES NORTH OF THE AREA AND ANOTHER PIECE LEFTOVER WEST OF THE AREA INTO THE MID/UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN WARMER AND MAINLY DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 WEAK INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH PRESENCE OF UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONDUCIVE FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL FOCUS ACROSS NORTHEAST INDIANA...AND THUS CONFIDENCE IN PRECIP OCCURRING AT KSBN IS A BIT LOWER THAN KFWA. GIVEN MORE LIMITED INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON IN COMPARISON TO THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...HAVE CONFINED THUNDER MENTION TO VCTS FOR THE 18Z TAFS. SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH IN COVERAGE WITH DECREASING DIURNAL INSTABILITY THIS EVENING...BUT SCATTERED SHOWERS MAY PERSIST AT KFWA THROUGH THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS AS VORT LOBE DROPPING SOUTH OF AREA THIS AFTERNOON BEGINS TO GET INGESTED BACK NORTHWARD IN BROADER UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC CIRCULATION. SLIGHTLY DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR TO ADVECT SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA FOR SUNDAY...WHICH SHOULD LESSEN COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

MCSThe Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 99 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 20:32 UTC.
3 thunderstorm wind, 1 funnel cloud. Local standard time, as filed.
A well-defined funnel cloud was photographed near the start of sporadic damage. While the picture shows the funnel was roughly half way to the ground, no indications of a touchdown were found in nearby damage or by eyewitness reports.
Several trees suffered limb damage on The Bend Road, just north of Beerbower Road. Metal sheeting on the property was blown a quarter mile southwest to the next damage location, where it may have impacted other objects.
A small garage was destroyed, likely from a combination of the strong winds and debris from damage to the northeast. A residence at this location suffered some roof damage as did a barn. A window was also broken in the barn.
Several small tree limbs were reported down across the town of Ney. A roughly six foot wide by 5 foot deep edge of a corn field on the southwest side of Ney was flattened. A wooden swing set next to the field was thrown into the field and destroyed.
