The wider storm
On April 2nd's early evening, an upper level short wave disturbance crossing the Middle Mississppi Valley, and associated 1000-mb surface low pressure tracking quickly from Iowa to Wiscomsin, placed central Indiana within its warm sector. The conditional set-up for severe weather included steep 0-3 km lapse rates, and corresponding DCAPE values of 500-800 J/kg extending along and just east of the Wabash Valley. A resultant quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) crossed western central Indiana, producing widely scattered damaging straight line winds. The system's overall high cloud base mitigated any tornado production except where a brief EF-0 was spawned in Parke County.
Began near Belt Jct (39.4300, -87.4100).
