Wider weather episode

A warm and rather humid air mass across central Indiana, combined with an approaching cold front in the afternoon to produce a line of strong to severe thunderstorms. Wind damage was focused over the region's south-central counties; the line also spawned two brief EF0 tornadoes before a longer track EF1 lifted and touched down several times across southern Shelby County. A forth and final EF1 tornado tracked briefly over far southwestern Shelby County.
