Hail and Damaging Winds in Indiana, September 5, 2014
A cold front moves across the region, interacting with surface based CAPE values in excess of 5000 j/kg and abundant low level moisture. Shear through much of the atmosphere was lacking across the area, resulting in marginally severe thunderstorms with occasional downbursts producing isolated wind damage or large hail incidents.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
357 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 345 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING...BRINGING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO
SEVERE. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 9 PM
EDT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND
HEAVY RAIN. AHEAD OF THE FRONT TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO THE
UPPER 80S AND 90S...PUTTING HEAT INDICES AROUND 100. AS A
RESULT...A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.
OTHERWISE...RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 60S. ONCE THE FRONT
PASSES...COOLER AND LESS HUMID WEATHER WILL PREVAIL. HIGHS
TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014
HAVE ISSUED A ADVISORY FOR HIGH HEAT INDEX CONDITIONS WITH INDICIES
AROUND 100F THIS AFTERNOON IN THE TROPICAL TYPE OF AIRMASS. A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS ALSO BEEN ISSUED INTO THIS EVENING AS
CONDITIONS HAVE BECOME VERY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE
FORECAST AREA WITH SPC MESOANALYSIS CAPES EXCEEDING 5000 J/KG AT
19Z. ALSO...DTX 18Z CAPE WAS OVER 5000. STORMS WERE JUST STARTING TO
BREAK THROUGH A WEAKER CAP OVER LOWER MICHIGAN AND NE IL AT MID
AFTERNOON. EXPECT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS TO INCREASE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND IS
ABLE TO BREAK THROUGH A STRONGER CAP FURTHER SOUTH. NAM 12 KM AND HI
RES ARW APPEAR TO BE HANDLING THIS SCENARIO THE BEST OF MODELS...
ALTHOUGH THE ACTUAL CAP MAY BE STRONGER THAT WHAT THE ARW IS SHOWING
OVER INDIANA. GIVEN THE HIGH CAPE...A HIGH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHT AND
LOW BULK/SHEAR...STORM ORGANIZATION LOOKS MORE MARGINAL WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THE GREATEST THREATS. MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL SPREAD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST
LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH PRECIPITATION ENDING FROM THE
NORTHWEST TO THE SOUTHEAST.
&&
.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014
COOL POST FRONTAL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE PLAINS AT THE START
OF THE PERIOD WILL MOVE E-NE TO THE NERN U.S. BY SUNDAY NIGHT
PROVIDING FAIR WEATHER/LIGHT WINDS WITH JUST PATCHY CU/STRATO CU
SUNDAY-MONDAY. TEMPS SHOULD BE A BIT BLO NORMAL FOR THE SECOND HALF
OF THE WEEKEND WITH LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE U40S/L50S AND HIGHS
SUNDAY IN THE L-M70S. RETURN FLOW/AIRMASS MODIFICATION SHOULD RESULT
IN A SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY WITH RIDGING
PROVIDING CONTINUED DRY/STABLE CONDITIONS. A SHRTWV IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE EAST FROM THE PLAINS IN ZONAL FLOW TO THE GRTLKS TUE/WED.
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES ON STRENGTH/TIMING
OF THIS SYSTEM SO POPS TUE-WED PRBLY CAN EVENTUALLY BE WHITTLED DOWN
TO A 12HR PERIOD OR TWO, BUT MODEL CONSISTENCY LACKING TO DO THAT
ATTM.
FLOW ALOFT SHOULD BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED BY LATE NEXT WEEK AS A
SERIES OF STRONG SHRTWVS DIG SE FROM SWRN CANADA INTO THE CENTRAL
CONUS WITH SUBSEQUENT UPR TROF THEN PROGRESSING SLOWLY EAST. MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS HAVE CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES IN TIMING/STRENGTH OF
INDIVIDUAL SHRTWVS AND AMOUNT OF AMPLIFICATION SO CONFIDENCE FAIRLY
LOW BUT STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS INTO THU BEFORE STRONG HIGH
RIDGES INTO OUR AREA FROM THE NW THU NGT AND FRIDAY. NEAR NORMAL
TEMPS MUCH OF THE WEEK SHOULD TURN UNSEASONABLY COOL BY LATE WEEK AS
UPR TROF MOVES IN WITH LOWS IN THE 40S AND HIGHS IN THE 60S BY THE
END OF THE PERIOD.
