Hail — Morgan, Indiana

2025-05-20 · near Bethany, Morgan, Indiana

Event narrative

Hail was mostly around three-eighths of an inch in diameter at CoCoRaHS site IN-MG-11 and lasted 10 minutes.

Wider weather episode

A slowly-advancing warm front brought mid to upper 60s dewpoints northward through central Indiana during the afternoon. Despite relatively cool temperatures, resultant instability and wind shear were adequate in the early evening to produce widely scattered strong to marginally-severe thunderstorms. Winds downed trees in Crawfordsville before one-inch hail was reported on the south side of the Indianapolis Metro.
