The episode as NWS IWX wrote it up.
A cold front moved through the region during the afternoon and evening hours with moderate instability in place ahead of the front. An upper level disturbance aided in enhancement of showers and thunderstorms that developed. Sporadic wind damage was reported across far southern Lower Michigan.
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 Aug 19, 11:53 AM EST, 3 hours 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 1253 PM EDT TUE AUG 19 2014 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 548 AM EDT TUE AUG 19 2014 LOW PRESSURE AREA AND A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION TODAY CAUSING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THIS AFTERNOON. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE AROUND 65. && .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 1001 AM EDT TUE AUG 19 2014 REMNANTS OF MORNING MCS HAVE DISSIPATED/MOVED GENERALLY EAST/NORTHEAST OF FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH SCT SHRA/TSRA WILL AFFECT NORTHERN HILLSDALE COUNTY MI THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING. ADDITIONAL SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE AREA THROUGH MID AFTERNOON WITH WEAK TRAILING CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED VORT MAX SLOW TO EXIT THE AREA. ATTENTION WILL SHIFT UPSTREAM THIS AFTERNOON WITH A PAIR OF UPPER VORTICES BEING MONITORED. THE FIRST OF THESE VORTS ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI ALSO APPEARS TO BE GETTING SOME CONVECTIVE REINFORCEMENT AND SHOULD SHIFT INTO WEST CENTRAL INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON. SECOND VORT IS ROUNDING PARENT UPPER LOW CENTERED ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING AND SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE INTO CENTRAL/NORTHERN LOWER MI BY THIS EVENING. CURRENT EXPECTATION IS THAT STRONGER FORCING WITH THIS SECOND VORT MAY BE MORE DELAYED IN NATURE AND REALLY NOT AFFECT AREA UNTIL THIS EVENING WITH FOCUS MORE LIKELY ON SOUTHERN VORT AND CONTINUAL CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT OF THIS SHORT WAVE AS IT REACHES LOCAL AREA THIS AFTERNOON. SOME QUESTIONS REMAIN AS TO MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME HIGH CLOUDS OVERSPREADING AREA OVER NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. STILL EXPECTING SBCAPES ON THE ORDER OF 1500-2500 J/KG...ALTHOUGH SHEAR PROFILES STILL APPEAR TO BE QUITE MARGINAL IN NATURE. SEVERE POTENTIAL STILL APPEARS TO BE SOMEWHAT ISOLATED IN NATURE BUT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED VORT MAX ALLOWING FOR SMALLER SCALE REGIONS OF ENHANCED SHEAR THAT COULD PROMOTE BETTER STORM ORGANIZATION. WILL CARRY POPS INTO THIS EVENING WITH SECONDARY VORT MAX POSSIBLY ALLOWING ADDITIONAL SCT TSRA DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA PAST PEAK HEATING HOURS. UPDATED FORECAST SENT TO REFINE MORNING POPS...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE AT THIS TIME. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 415 AM EDT TUE AUG 19 2014 THE EARLY MORNING SETUP FOR FOG IS FAVORABLE AGAIN WITH CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT WINDS AND PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. UPSTREAM CLOUDS WILL ARRIVE TOO LATE TO HAVE MUCH OF AN EFFECT SO HAVE ADDED AREAS OF FOG OVER FAR WEST AREAS EARLY THIS MORNING. THE FOGGY CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE EARLY THIS MORNING AS LOW LEVEL FLOW INCREASES AND THE FOG MIXES OUT WITH DAYTIME HEATING. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROF WILL MOVE INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST TODAY...AND PROVIDE A MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FORECAST AREA. FAVOR THE 4KM NAM/WRF THAT APPEARS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING...AND THE REDEVELOPMENT OF STORMS LATER TODAY ALONG THE EARLIER OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. HAVE MADE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO THE GRIDS/FORECAST IN THIS REGARD. AFTERNOON CAPE VALUES SHOULD APPROACH 3000 J/KG...AND BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS AS LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW INCREASES AND BETTER SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT FOR SEVERE STORMS. RAISED HIGHS A LITTLE TODAY. FAVOR THE WARMER GFS/MAV AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE STARTING OUT WELL INTO THE 60S WITH 850 MB TEMPS AROUND 18C. && .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 415 AM EDT TUE AUG 19 2014 DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT NOTED ALOFT THIS PD ESP W/EXPANDING UPR RIDGE CNTRD OVR THE LWR MS VALLEY.
