The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
During the evening of the 21st, a line of thunderstorms intensified as it moved into northern portions of central Indiana. Hail damage to structures and trees knocked down were common from near Lafayette east through Lebanon and Noblesville to Anderson. The most intense storm developed on the western end of the line, affecting areas from Lafayette to Lebanon. Hail up to two inches in diameter occurred near Stockwell in southeastern Tippecanoe County with this storm. Some flooding was also noted across areas that received storms.
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 Aug 21, 6:11 PM EST, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 711 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 250 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 AN OLD FRONT WILL LINGER IN THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND KEEPING CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BRING HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS TO THE AREA AS WELL. NEXT WEEK ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR RAIN AND WILL EVENTUALLY BRING A RETURN TO NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 659 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 472 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE NORTHEAST THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA THRU 04Z...MAINLY ALONG AND N/E OF A LAFAYETTE-NOBLESVILLE-NEW CASTLE LINE. CONVECTIVE CLUSTER CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY DOWNWIND OF THE CHICAGO METRO. MESOANALYSIS SHOWING THESE STORMS SHOULD TRACK E/SE AND EVENTUALLY COULD END UP MOVING MORE SE AS THEY PROPAGATE ALONG THE THETA E RIDGE AND INSTABILITY AXIS JUST SOUTH OF THE REMNANT WARM FRONT. HAVE BUMPED UP TO A PERIOD OF LIKELY POPS THIS EVENING WITHIN THE WATCH AREA...WITH GREATEST IMPACTS EXPECTED FROM KOKOMO TO MUNCIE. ELEVATED CORES WITHIN MOST INTENSE CELLS WILL CERTAINLY POSE A HAIL RISK...BUT THE DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL IS GREATEST WITH SOME CONCERN THAT CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL MATURE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A WELL DEVELOPED COLD POOL. ALREADY HAVE SEEN A COUPLE REPORTS OF 60MPH WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH CHICAGO SUBURBS. IN ADDITION TO THE WIND THREAT...OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS SUPPORTING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WITH THESE STORMS. FLOODING CONCERNS LIKELY TO BE ENHANCED OVER NORTHEAST COUNTIES WHICH RECEIVED 2-3 INCHES FROM STORMS THIS MORNING. THIS ROUND OF STORMS WILL ADD TO THE IMPRESSIVE LIGHTNING SHOWS EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST 48 HOURS AS WELL. ANY EVENING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WILL BE IMPACTED. FINALLY...EXPECT MOST OF INDY METRO AND POINTS FURTHER S/W WILL REMAIN LARGELY DRY THROUGH THE EVENING AS LAPS SOUNDINGS INDICATE PRESENCE OF A DEEPER LAYER OF WARM AIR IN THE MID LEVELS. ANY OUTFLOWS DROPPING TO THE S/SW OUT OF THESE STORMS MAY SERVE TO PROMOTE NEW DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY AS THE LOW LEVEL JET ORGANIZES AND CAPPING WEAKENS WITH 700MB TEMPS SLIPPING BACK A BIT. PERTINENT PORTIONS OF AFTERNOON DISCUSSION FOLLOWS. OVERNIGHT AN UPPER WAVE WILL ROTATE AROUND THE UPPER HIGH AND WILL BRING SOME ADDITIONAL FORCING. NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GO LIKELY POPS...BUT WILL GO HIGH CHANCE NORTH /CLOSER TO THE ENERGY/ TO DRY EXTREME SOUTHWEST /CLOSEST TO THE UPPER HIGH/. THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTHWEST MAY PROVIDE SOME DECENT INSTABILITY THIS EVENING...SO SOME STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE PER STORM PREDICTION CENTER. FOR TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WENT A LITTLE COOLER THAN MOS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST WHERE MORE RAIN IS POSSIBLE...OTHERWISE GENERALLY STAYED CLOSE TO MAV MOS. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... ISSUED AT 250 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 FOCUS IS ON RAIN CHANCES AND HEAT THROUGH THE PERIOD. MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH PLACEMENT OF CONVECTION BUT ALL GENERALLY SHOW THE IDEA. STUCK WITH A BLEND. OVERNIGHT CONVECTION COULD LINGER FRIDAY MORNING...THEN MORE CAN DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH AN OLD FRONT STILL IN THE AREA. WILL GO CHANCE POPS NORTHEAST TO DRY FAR SOUTHWEST. WITH FRONT AROUND THE AREA AND POTENTIAL FOR WAVES MOVING AROUND THE UPPER HIGH...KEPT SIMILAR POPS FRIDAY NIGHT. UPPER HIGH GRADUALLY GETS MORE CONTROL OVER THE AREA SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...HOWEVER MODELS STILL TRY AND CREATE SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA. FEEL THAT THIS IS REASONABLE WITH MOST INFLUENCE OF UPPER HIGH BEING FELT TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA. WENT LOW CHANCE POPS MOST AREAS SATURDAY...WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH THE UPPER HIGH GAINING MORE INFLUENCE. FOR TEMPERATURES...MAV MOS LOOKS TOO WARM FRIDAY GIVEN SOME CLOUD COVER FROM EXPECTED CONVECTION. WENT CLOSER TO MET MOS. WENT WITH A BLEND OF MODELS FOR LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT. MAV LOOKS BETTER SATURDAY WITH MORE SUN SO STAYED CLOSE MOST AREAS. HEAT INDICES WILL GET NEAR 100 MANY AREAS THIS WEEKEND WITH THE RELATIVELY HIGH DEWPOINTS. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... ISSUED AT 250 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL START OUT DRY WITH RIDGING ALOFT AND CENTRAL INDIANA BETWEEN FRONTAL BOUNDARIES AT THE SURFACE. THE RIDGE WILL SLOWLY START TO BREAK DOWN BY TUESDAY THOUGH AS A BROAD UPPER TROUGH TRAVERSES THE NORTHERN PLAINS. MEANWHILE...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY AT THE SURFACE WILL MEANDER OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION...WITH CENTRAL INDIANA IN THE WARM SECTOR MOST OF THE TIME. AS A RESULT...THERE WILL BE DAILY CHANCES FOR PRECIP FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. CHANCES WILL BE HIGHEST ON THURSDAY WITH SUPPORT FROM THE UPPER TROUGH IN ADDITION TO DIURNAL ENHANCEMENT. FOR NOW...LATEST INITIALIZATION CAPTURES PATTERN WELL WITH CHANCE POPS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. TEMPS...HOT CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS THE UPPER RIDGE DOMINATES MOST OF THE REGION. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTRIBUTE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES SOARING INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S/LOW 70S. TEMPS WILL BECOME CLOSER TO NORMAL LATE IN THE PERIOD WHEN THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 22/00Z TAF ISSUANCE/... ISSUED AT 711 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 UPPER WAVE DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS WAS TRIGGERING STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A STATIONARY FRONT WITH THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY CONGEALING NORTH OF LAF WITH THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX DROPPING SOUTHEAST. NOT CONFIDENT THERE THIS COMPLEX WILL EFFECT ANY OF THE TERMINALS EXCEPT FOR LAF. EVEN THERE...IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A CERTAINTY. BEST WAY IT LOOKS LIKE THE HANDLE THIS CONVECTION IS TO BRING A TEMPO GROUP TO LAF THROUGH 02Z AND VCTS THROUGH 08Z AND VCTS TO IND FROM 04Z-10Z. WILL ALSO INTRODUCE VCTS TO LAF AND IND TOMORROW AFTER 20Z AS A COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS. CAP WILL LIKELY KEEP ACTIVITY TO SCATTERED AT THE OTHER SITES FOR ANY THUNDERSTORM MENTION. COULD SEE SOME MVFR AND WORSE FOG OVERNIGHT AS WINDS BECOMING VERY LIGHT. OTHERWISE...SOUTH WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST AND WEST TOMORROW MORNING BUT STILL LESS THAN 10 KNOTS. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
