The wider storm

A decaying Mesoscale Convective Vortex (MCV) pushed north into Indiana during the late afternoon hours of May 24th and interacted with a line of thunderstorms moving across Illinois. Initially these storms produced pockets of damaging winds with widespread sub-severe winds. Later into the evening, outflow boundaries from these storms initiated one larger storm that produced isolated large hail across the southern Indianapolis metro.

Began near Kappa Corner (40.4900, -86.3700).
