episode_narrativeSynoptic and Mesoscale discussionAt the surface, low pressure was nearly stationary over southeast Minnesota, with a quasi-stationary front extending southeast toward northern Indiana. Thunderstorms on the cool side of the boundary over MN in the afternoon developed into a large scale bow echo across Wisconsin in the evening, which continued southeast across the KIWX warning area between midnight and 4am. A weak low level veering wind profile under warm advection was present ahead of the bow echo. Evening soundings indicated cape of 2000-3800 j/kg. Bow was moving into progressively less unstable airmass and weaker warm advection which resulted in weakening trend as it moved over Northern Indiana, Southwest Michigan and Northwest Ohio. Despite the slow weakening trend low level base velocity on the KIWX 88-D continued to indicate areas of >64kt winds especially over northern and western parts of the warning area.
