Wider weather episode

On the morning of March 13th, a west to east oriented cold front was pushing south near the Ohio River, but it stalled before pushing back north. This left southern Indiana in the warm sector with warm moist air moving in from the south. As the system's north to south oriented cold front moved east through the Lower Ohio Valley on the 15th, several storms produced widespread large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado in Orange County.
