Hail — Jennings, Indiana

2022-06-08 · near North Vernon, Jennings, Indiana

Event narrative

Thunderstorm continued to produce golf-ball sized hail in North Vernon.

Wider weather episode

A surface low crossing Indiana from west to east brought a warm front northward through the region. The resulting increase in instability, coupled with adequate wind shear both through the 0-6 km layer as well as near the surface, generated scattered thunderstorms over southern and eastern portions of the region. A few storms produced isolated large hail/damaging winds in the afternoon, before two weak tornadoes were spawned later in the day over east-central Indiana.
