The wider storm
On April 27, 2026, an upper-level shortwave trough and an associated deepening surface low-pressure system tracked across the Midwest. South of the low's path, a sufficiently unstable warm sector surged into central Indiana, characterized by rich boundary-layer moisture and strong low and deep layer wind shear. This setup supported multiple rounds of severe convection resulting in numerous damaging wind gusts or large hail reports. Three tornadoes also occurred between Jackson and Morgan Counties, along with flash flooding in Knox and Marion Counties.
Began near (laf)purdue Univ Laf (40.4100, -86.9300).
