Hail — Bartholomew, Indiana

2023-08-12 · near Riverview Acres, Bartholomew, Indiana

Wider weather episode

Numerous pulse thunderstorms crossed central Indiana from west to east from pre-dawn to mid-morning hours. Despite several strong storms, a stable boundary layer prevented higher wind gusts from mixing down to the surface while a high freezing level melted larger hail aloft before it could reach the ground. One marginally severe cell did, however, track southeastward across Johnson and Bartholomew Counties around 900 AM EDT.
