Event narrative

Thunderstorm spawned a brief tornado approximately one mile to the north-northeast of the Interstate 74 and Indiana State Route 25 interchange. Tornado was reportedly seen on the ground, but no damage was noted.

Wider weather episode

An upper low, slowly approaching the region over Missouri, combined with clearing afternoon skies to provide adequate instability, while east-southeasterly surface winds promoted ample low-level wind shear. Amid this environment, several strong, northward-moving, rotating thunderstorms formed over west-central portions of central Indiana through early evening. One cell spawned a brief EFU tornado in Montgomery County.
