 Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1128 AM CDT Fri Jul 20 2018

   Valid 201630Z - 211200Z

   ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
   NORTHERN/WESTERN TENNESSEE...WESTERN/NORTHERN
   KENTUCKY...SOUTHERN/EASTERN INDIANA...AND SOUTHWESTERN OHIO...

   ...SUMMARY...
   The greatest threat for severe thunderstorms will develop across the
   Ohio and Tennessee Valley regions into the Mid-South today into
   early tonight, with damaging gusts, large hail and tornadoes
   possible.

   ...Mid MS/OH/TN Valleys...
   Morning water vapor loop shows a significant upper low tracking
   southeastward across southern WI.  A strong mid level jet lies to
   the south of the low, extending from the northern Plains into MO. 
   As this upper wind max overspreads the warm sector over parts of the
   Mid MS, OH, and TN Valleys, the risk of rather widespread severe
   thunderstorms will develop this afternoon into tonight.  A very
   moist and unstable air mass has developed across this region with
   pockets of MUCAPE in the 5000-6000 J/kg range.  Steep low and mid
   level lapse rates combined with strong effective shear values will
   result in a conditional risk of severe storms throughout the region.
   The primary forecast uncertainty is the timing and location of
   initiation.

   12z model guidance shows wide diversity in where/when the most
   intense convective clusters will occur later today.  Due to this
   uncertainty, few changes have been made to the ongoing outlook. 
   Discrete supercell development is possible along/ahead of the
   approaching cold front due to shear vectors orthogonal to the front
   and favorable shear magnitudes.  Any storms that remain discrete
   will pose a risk of very large hail and a tornado or two.  It
   appears likely that multiple clusters of storms will congeal into
   fast-moving bowing structures posing a risk of rather widespread
   damaging winds.  This threat will likely spread as far east as
   eastern KY/TN overnight.

First cells starting to fire off in Northwest Indiana as well. I would imagine that there is probably only a two or three hour window of play room for things to go super-cellular on the MI/IN/OH end of the setup. That said, things are progressing nicely for such a window to occur. CAPE and shear is surging in nicely and quite tightly behind the warm front.

Horrible avoidable tragedy. 
I have been on that cruise, albeit 20 years or so ago. IIRC you are only on the water for 30 minutes or so. If they don't have someone monitoring the weather and warning them off before they hit the water that is gross negligence.
