The wider storm

Numerous strong nocturnal thunderstorms formed over the western Midwest during the night of the 25th-26th. Freezing levels around 14,000 feet and nearly 1800 J/kg of MUCAPE promoted marginally severe hail in Morgan County, while mid-level dry air and 0-3 km wind shear over 30 kts supported isolated damaging winds across Vermillion and Putnam Counties.

Began near Cloverdale (39.5000, -86.7300).
