Wider weather episode

During the day on September 24th, an area of low pressure moved across the lower Great Lakes region. A cold front extending to the south of the surface low moved across the Ohio Valley during the afternoon and evening hours on the 24th. Along and ahead of the cold front, surface temperatures warmed into the upper 70s and low 80s with dewpoint temperatures rising into the upper 60s, providing sufficient instability for thunderstorms to develop. A dominant cluster of thunderstorms formed just north of the Ohio River during the early afternoon hours, producing scattered wind damage on both sides of the river. An EF0 tornado also formed within this area of severe thunderstorms, moving across southern Clark County and producing minor damage. By mid-to-late afternoon, the cold front pushed through southern Indiana, bringing an end to the severe weather risk.
